The Cancer Genome Project is using current high throughput techniques to characterise a series of approximately 800 cancer cell lines including those most frequently used in biological and pharmaceutical research and drug discovery. These screens include sequencing of known cancer genes, copy number and genotyping analysis using SNP arrays and identification of microsatellite instability. Pair-wise comparison of the SNP array data for the entire series of cell lines under study has been performed identifying those lines which, in our set, are either identical or derived from a parental line. These lines are termed synonymous cell lines. Sponsors: This study was supported by the Wellcome Trust and Glaxo Smith Kline. :K eywords: Cancer, Genome, Technique, Research, Pharmaceutical, Drug, Discovery, Gene, Number, Genotype, SNP, Array, Microsatellite, Instability, Biological, Cell line, SNP, Data,

http://sites.huji.ac.il/malaria/

Data set of metabolic pathways for the malaria parasite based on the present knowledge of parasite biochemistry and on pathways known to occur in other unicellular eukaryotes. This site extracted the pertinent information from the universal sites and presented them in an educative and informative format. The site also includes, cell-cell interactions (cytoadherence and rosetting), invasion of the erythrocyte by the parasite and transport functions. It also contains an artistic impression of the ultrastructural morphology of the interaerythrocytic cycle stages and some details about the morphology of mitochondria and the apicoplast. Most pathways are relevant to the erythrocytic phase of the parasite cycle. All maps were checked for the presence of enzyme-coding genes as they are officially annotated in the Plasmodium genome (http://plasmodb.org/). The site is constructed in a hierarchical pattern that permits logical deepening: * Grouped pathways of major chemical components or biological process ** Specific pathways or specific process *** Chemical structures of substrates and products or process **** Names of enzymes and their genes or components of process Each map is linked to other maps thus enabling to verify the origin of a substrate or the fate of a product. Clicking on the EC number that appears next to each enzyme, connects the site to BRENDA, SWISSPROT ExPASy ENZYME, PlasmoDB and to IUBMB reaction scheme. Clicking of the name of a metabolite, connects the site to KEGG thus providing its chemical structure and formula. Next to each enzyme there is a pie that depicts the stage-dependent transcription of the enzyme''s coding gene. The pie is constructed as a clock of the 48 hours of the parasite cycle, where red signifies over-transcription and green, under-transcription. Clicking on the pie links to the DeRisi/UCSF transcriptome database.

The fairly common occurrence of hearing-loss or deafness in both humans and mice, and the anatomical and functional similarities of their inner ears, attest to the potential of mice as models to study hereditary hearing loss. Hundreds of standard inbred, recombinant inbred, and congenic strains are maintained at The Jackson Laboratory, as well as hundreds of inbred strains with spontaneous or induced mutations. To assess hearing impairment in inbred and mutant strains of mice we measure auditory-evoked brainstem response (ABR) thresholds.

http://www9.biostr.washington.edu/da.html

Atlases of human brain, thoracic viscera and knee designed for teaching gross anatomy. Also provides a neuroanatomy Interactive syllabus, suitable as a laboratory guide, with an instructive caption accompanying each image and interactive quizzes. The Digital Anatomist Project is motivated by the belief that anatomy is the basis of all the biomedical sciences (including clinical medicine). Manifestations of health and disease can be regarded as attributes of anatomical structures ranging in size from molecules to body parts. Therefore DAP''s goal is to represent anatomy in a comprehensive and consistent way, which should meet the needs of all biomedical applications that require anatomical knowledge. DAP has pursued two parallel tracks for representing anatomical information: 1. The generation of graphical models derived from cadaver and clinical imaging data; and 2. Symbolic modeling of the structures and relationships that constitute the human body. It''s initial work with graphical representations of anatomy provided the impetus and motivation for the National Library of Medicine to establish the Visible Human Project, and it''s symbolic modeling has enhanced NLM''s Unified Medical Language System in order to represent deep anatomical knowledge. In collaboration with the knowledge systems group at Stanford, it has now created a very large knowledge base which provides the foundation for the machine-based intelligence needed to remotely interact with biomedical image data.

This service offers a gateway to well-benchmarked protein structure and function prediction methods. Structural models collected from the prediction servers are assessed using the powerful 3D-jury consensus approach. The Structure Prediction Meta Server provides access to various fold recognition, function prediction and local structure prediction methods. The Server takes the amino acid sequence of the query protein, the reference name for the prediction job, and the E-mail address as input. The E-mail address is used only for notification about errors during the execution of the job. The query sequence and the reference name are placed in the process queue. The Meta Server accepts only sequences, which have not been submitted before. In case of duplicate sequences the second user will be notified with a link to the previous submission. Sequences longer than 800 amino acids are not accepted by some services. The internal SQL database offers the possibility to find any previous jobs processed by the Meta Server using regular expressions addressing field like E-mail, Job Name and the host name, from which the job was initiated. Each server has its own process queuing system managed by the Meta Server. All results of fold recognition servers are translated into uniform formats. The information extracted from the raw output of the servers includes the PDB codes of the hits, the alignments and the similarity (reliability) scores specific for every server. Mapping of the hits to the SCOP and FSSP classifications are made either using known PDB representatives or alignment of the template sequence with the databases of proteins in both classifications. The secondary structure assignments for all hits are taken from the mapped FSSP (red for helices and blue for strands). Underscored amino acids indicate the first residue after an insertion in the template sequence. The Meta server provides translation of the alignments in standard formats like FASTA, PDB or CASP. The Meta Server is coupled to consensus servers. They provide jury predictions based on the results collected from other services. Not all fold recognition servers are used by the jury system. The data stored on the meta server is available through http://meta.bioinfo.pl/data/JOBID/. Jobs older than 2 months are not shown. The Meta Server is only a set of programs aimed to process and manage biological data, while the predictive power of the service comes from (mostly) remote prediction providers.

Integrative database of germ-line V genes from the immunoglobulin loci of human and mouse. It presents V gene sequences extracted from the EMBL nucleotide sequence database and Ensembl together with links to the respective source sequences. Based on the properties of the source sequences, V genes are classified into 3 different classes: * Class 1: genomic and rearranged evidence * Class 2: genomic evidence only * Class 3: rearranged evidence only This allows careful sequence quality validation by the user. References to other immunological databases ( KABAT, IMGT/LIGM and VBASE ) are given to provide all public annotation data for each V gene. The VBASE2 database can be accessed either by the Direct Query interface or by the DNAPLOT Query interface. The Sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. Direct Query allows to enter sequence IDs and names (Field 1), choose species, locus, V gene family and class (Field 2) or search for 100% sequences (Field 3). At the DNAPLOT Query, the sequences given by the user are aligned with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database. The DNAPLOT program offers V gene nucleotide sequence alignment referring to the IMGT V gene unique numbering. The Quick Search can be used either for Direct Query to search for sequence IDs and V gene names or for DNAPLOT Query for up to 5 sequences. The new Fab Analysis allows you to align Fab, scFab, scAb or scFv sequences with DNAPLOT against the VBASE2 database, where both heavy and light chain are analyzed.
