THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE,documented on January,18, 2022. FaceBase Biorepository is now collecting biological samples from people with cleft lip/palate and their family members. Information for Prospective Cases: Clefts of the lip and/or palate can be caused by a wide range of genetic, environmental and other factors. The FaceBase Biorepository will serve as a common source of both biological samples and information that can be made available to investigators trying to determine the underlying cause of these common birth defects. Genetic studies, in particular, will benefit from both family history information and having samples from affected individuals as well as their family members. DNA is the information containing molecules found in all the cells of our body and can be easily obtained from material such as blood or saliva samples. As part of the FaceBase Biorepository, we are requesting families to submit biological samples from specific family members as well as information from other family members that might be affected with either the same condition or a similar condition. The medical and family history information that is collected includes other relevant information such as exposure to possible environmental causes during pregnancy. The biorepository is managed by Nichole Nidey, a research study coordinator, and Jeff Murray, a pediatric clinical geneticist and researcher. They are available to speak with family members regarding questions they may have, including providing information about the biorepository and making arrangements for the collection of samples for those who wish to participate. All participation is voluntary. Your name or other personally identifiable information (name, address, etc) will be removed before information is placed in the biorepository. Summary data to show how the database itself has been used overall as well as updates on whether specific findings might have been made using this database will be available on the FaceBase website at www.facebase.org. A newsletter containing this information will also be given to families and referring clinicians so that they may discuss the specifics with the families if there appears to be information that might be relevant in a particular case. Families will also need to sign a consent form that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Iowa. Also, any submitted samples or data can also be removed from the database at any time should the family no longer wish to participate. Investigators interested in requesting DNA samples or for more information, please contact cleftresearch (at) uiowa.edu, Nichole Nidey, nichole-nidey (at) uiowa.edu or (319) 353-4365, or Jeff Murray, jeff-murray (at) uiowa.edu.

http://nmr.cmbi.ru.nl/NRG-CING/HTML/index.html

NRG-CING presents a complete validation report for all 9,000+ wwPDB NMR entries including remediated experimental data such as chemical shifts from BMRB and restraints from NRG . These CING reports are compiled from internal analyses and those by CCPN, DSSP, PROCHECK-NMR/Aqua, ShiftX, Talos+, Vasco, Wattos, and WHAT_CHECK. The NRG-CING website is a collection of CING reports that has been pre-calculated for all PDB files solved by NMR. (See website for more information on CING.) In case the underlying experimental data is available, these have been cleaned up and made syntactically and semantically correct and homogeneous. For many macromolecular NMR ensembles from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) the experiment-based restraint lists used in the structure calculation are accessible, while other experimental data, mainly chemical shift values, are often available from the BioMagResBank. Assessment of the quality of the structural result is paramount to their usage and a combined, integrated repository of both input data and structural results greatly facilitates such an analysis. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the coordinates in these macromolecular NMR ensembles can be improved by recalculations using the available experimental data and present-day software with improved protocols and force fields. Such efforts, however, generally fail on over half of all deposited structures due to the syntactic and semantic heterogeneity of the data and the wide variety of formats used for their deposition. We have combined the cleaned-up restraints information from the NMR Restraints Grid (NRG) database with available chemical shifts from the BioMagResBank in the weekly updated NRG-CING database. Eleven programs, in addition to CING itself, have been included in the NRG-CING production pipeline to arrive at validation reports that list for each entry the potential inconsistencies between the coordinates and the available restraint and chemical shift data. The longitudinal validation of this data yielded a set of indicators that can be used to judge the quality of every macromolecular structure solved with NMR. The cleaned up NMR experimental datasets and the validation reports are freely available.

This database presents the entire DNA sequence of the first diploid genome sequence of a Han Chinese, a representative of Asian population. The genome, named as YH, represents the start of YanHuang Project, which aims to sequence 100 Chinese individuals in 3 years. It was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads (117.7Gbp raw data) generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer. In total of 102.9Gbp nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI human reference genome (Build 36) by self-developed software SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Alignment Program), and 3.07 million SNPs were identified. The personal genome data is illustrated in a MapView, which is powered by GBrowse. A new module was developed to browse large-scale short reads alignment. This module enabled users track detailed divergences between consensus and sequencing reads. In total of 53,643 HGMD recorders were used to screen YH SNPs to retrieve phenotype related information, to superficially explain the donor's genome. Blast service to align query sequences against YH genome consensus was also provided.

http://trbase.ex.ac.uk/

This TRbase is a relational tandem repeat database that relates tandem repeats to gene locations and disease genes of the human genome. The TRbase stores both perfect and imperfect repeats of 1 to 2000 bp unit lengths that were identified using the Tandem Repeat Finder program. Disease information for all 24 chromosomes was retrieved from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. There are five main search forms by which the user may query the database: 1. The Advanced tandem repeat search: This allows a complete search for tandem repeats using a combination of criteria, such as total tandem repeat length, repeat unit length, copy number of the repeats, percentage matches and the consensus repeat pattern. On submission, the number of repeats and the detailed tandem repeat characteristics of each repeat that match the user query are tabulated. 2. The Main search: This relates tandem repeat data to genes and diseases. The user may specify a gene of interest to view details of all repeats associated with it or search for tandem repeats present in a particular disease by entering the name/keyword for the disease or the MIM number of the disease gene. 3. The Composite search: This more advanced search allows the user to query specifically for repeats present in exons, introns or intergenic regions of a gene or disease gene. 4. The Gene Search: Further information on genes can be available by a simple gene name search on this page. 5. The Disease search: This allows extensive information on disease genes on all chromosomes of the human genome. Searching for a MIM number, or keyword searches specifying the features of the disease, will retrieve the information on the disease and the chromosome in which the disease gene occurs. Each entry retrieved is linked to the OMIM database for detailed literature and gene map information on the disease.

http://possum.cbrc.jp/PoSSuM/

Relational database of all the discovered similar pairs in a huge number of protein-ligand binding sites with annotations of various types (e.g., CATH, SCOP, EC number, Gene ontology). They used a tremendously fast algorithm called SketchSort that enables the enumeration of similar pairs in a huge number of protein-ligand binding sites. They conducted all-pair similarity searches for 3.4 million known and potential binding sites using the proposed method and discovered over 24 million similar pairs of binding sites. PoSSuM enables rapid exploration of similar binding sites among structures with different global folds as well as similar ones. Moreover, PoSSuM is useful for predicting the binding ligand for unbound structures. Basically, the users can search similar binding pockets using two search modes: # Search K is useful for finding similar binding sites for a known ligand-binding site. Post a known ligand-binding site (a pair of PDB ID and HET code) in the PDB, and PoSSuM will search similar sites for the query site. # Search P is useful for predicting ligands that potentially bind to a structure of interest. Post a known protein structure (PDB ID) in the PDB, and PoSSuM will search similar known-ligand binding sites for the query structure.
