THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 12, 2012. GARBAN is a tool for analysis and rapid functional annotation of data arising from cDNA microarrays and proteomics techniques. GARBAN has been implemented with bioinformatic tools to rapidly compare, classify, and graphically represent multiple sets of data (genes/ESTs, or proteins), with the specific aim of facilitating the identification of molecular markers in pathological and pharmacological studies. GARBAN has links to the major genomic and proteomic databases (Ensembl, GeneBank, UniProt Knowledgebase, InterPro, etc.), and follows the criteria of the Gene Ontology Consortium (GO) for ontological classifications.

This database of datasets is based on Protein Data Bank (PDB), where all datasets were derived from PDB. ccPDB have four modules; i) compilation of datasets, ii) creation of datasets, iii) web services and iv) Important links. * Compilation of Datasets: Datasets at ccPDB can be classified in two categories, i) datasets collected from literature and ii) datasets compiled from PDB. We are in process of collecting PDB datasetsfrom literature and maintaining at ccPDB. We are also requesting community to suggest datasets. In addition, we generate datasets from PDB, these datasets were generated using commonly used standard protocols like non-redundant chains, structures solved at high resolution. * Creation of datasets: This module developed for creating customized datasets where user can create a dataset using his/her conditions from PDB. This module will be useful for those users who wish to create a new dataset as per ones requirement. This module have six steps, which are described in help page. * Web Services: We integrated following web services in ccPDB; i) Analyze of PDB ID service allows user to submit their PDB on around 40 servers from single point, ii) BLAST search allows user to perform BLAST search of their protein against PDB, iii) Structural information service is designed for annotating a protein structure from PDB ID, iv) Search in PDB facilitate user in searching structures in PDB, v)Generate patterns service facility to generate different types of patterns required for machine learning techniques and vi) Download useful information allows user to download various types of information for a given set of proteins (PDB IDs). * Important Links: One of major objectives of this web site is to provide links to web servers related to functional annotation of proteins. In first phase we have collected and compiled these links in different categories. In future attempt will be made to collect as many links as possible.

Database that provides human protein interaction information and integrated interaction and also finds proteins from databases that can potentially react with proteins submitted by users. The human protein interaction information was pre-computed by a statistical method from existing structural and experimental data, while the integrated human protein interactions are derived from BIND, DIP and HPRD. A score composed of three parts is assigned to the predicted interaction data, and those interactions with high scores were found reliable. HPID allows the user to use the protein IDs in EMBL, Ensembl, MIM, RefSeq, HPRD and NCBI to search protein interactions of interest. A set of web-based software tools has also been developed so that users can visualize and analyze protein interaction networks.

TRANSFAC Professional provides gene regulation analysis solutions, offering the most comprehensive collection of eukaryotic gene regulation data. The professional paid subscription gives customers access to up-to-date data and tools not available in the free version. The public databases currently available for academic and non-profit organizations are: * TRANSFAC: contains data on transcription factors, their experimentally-proven binding sites, and regulated genes. Its broad compilation of binding sites allows the derivation of positional weight matrices. * TRANSPATH: provides data about molecules participating in signal transduction pathways and the reactions they are involved in, resulting in a complex network of interconnected signaling components.TRANSPATH focuses on signaling cascades that change the activities of transcription factors and thus alter the gene expression profile of a given cell. * PathoDB: is a database on pathologically relevant mutated forms of transcription factors and their binding sites. It comprises numerous cases of defective transcription factors or mutated transcription factor binding sites, which are known to cause pathological defects. * S/MARt DB: presents data on scaffold or matrix attached regions (S/MARs) of eukaryotic genomes, as well as about the proteins that bind to them. S/MARs organize the chromatin in the form of functionally independent loop domains gained increasing support. Scaffold or Matrix Attached Regions (S/MARs) are genomic DNA sequences through which the chromatin is tightly attached to the proteinaceous scaffold of the nucleus. * TRANSCompel: is a database on composite regulatory elements affecting gene transcription in eukaryotes. Composite regulatory elements consist of two closely situated binding sites for distinct transcription factors, and provide cross-coupling of different signaling pathways. * PathoSign Public: is a database which collects information about defective cell signaling molecules causing human diseases. While constituting a useful data repository in itself, PathoSign is also aimed at being a foundational part of a platform for modeling human disease processes.
