Flash GViewer is a customizable Flash movie that can be easily inserted into a web page to display each chromosome in a genome along with the locations of individual features on the chromosomes. It is intended to provide an overview of the genomic locations of a specific set of features - eg. genes and QTLs associated with a specific phenotype, etc. rather than as a way to view all features on the genome. The features can hyperlink out to a detail page to enable to GViewer to be used as a navigation tool. In addition the bands on the chromosomes can link to defineable URL and new region selection sliders can be used to select a specific chromosome region and then link out to a genome browser for higher resolution information. Genome maps for Rat, Mouse, Human and C. elegans are provided but other genome maps can be easily created. Annotation data can be provided as static text files or produced as XML via server scripts. This tool is not GO-specific, but was built for the purpose of viewing GO annotation data. Platform: Online tool

The Stanford Genome Technology Center began a whole genome shotgun sequencing of strain SC5314 of Candida albicans. After reaching its original goal of 1.5X mean coverage of the haploid genome (16Mb) in summer, 1998, Stanford was awarded a supplemental grant to continue sequencing up to a coverage of 10X, performing as much assembly of the sequence as possible, using recognizable genes as nucleation points. Candida albicans is one of the most commonly encountered human pathogens, causing a wide variety of infections ranging from mucosal infections in generally healthy persons to life-threatening systemic infections in individuals with impaired immunity. Oral and esophogeal Candida infections are frequently seen in AIDS patients. Few classes of drugs are effective against these fungal infections, and all of them have limitations with regard to efficacy and side-effects.

The web portal provides comprehensive local database of human genome variants with a user-friendly web page that provides a one-stop annotating and funtonal prediction service which is both convenient and up-to-date. A query can be accepted as either a dbSNP Id or a chromosomal location and our system will instantly provide all the annotation information in an interactive LD panel. The system can also simultaneously prioritize this variant based on additive effect mode by corresponding annotation information and evaluate the variant effect that is then displayed in a prioritization tree. Furthermore, cohort sequencing continuously produces lots of un-annotated variants such as rare variants or de novo variants, and our system can even fit this data by accepting genomic coordinates (hg19) to offer maximal annotations. Main Functions Over 40 up-to-date annotation items for human single nucleotide variations; Functional prediction for different types of variants; Dynamic LD panel for both HapMap and 1000 Genomes Project populations; Prioritization score and tree viewer based on variant functional model.

The Rfam database is a collection of RNA families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments, consensus secondary structures and covariance models (CMs). The families in Rfam break down into three broad functional classes: Non-coding RNA genes, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing RNAs. Typically these functional RNAs often have a conserved secondary structure which may be better preserved than the RNA sequence. The CMs used to describe each family are a slightly more complicated relative of the profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) used by Pfam. CMs can simultaneously model RNA sequence and the structure in an elegant and accurate fashion. Rfam is also available via FTP. You can find data in Rfam in various ways... * Analyze your RNA sequence for Rfam matches * View Rfam family annotation and alignments * View Rfam clan details * Query Rfam by keywords * Fetch families or sequences by NCBI taxonomy * Enter any type of accession or ID to jump to the page for a Rfam family, sequence or genome

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2022. Human Gut Microbiome Initiative (HGMI) seeks to provide simply annotated, deep draft genome sequences for 100 cultured representatives of the phylogenetic diversity documented by 16S rRNA surveys of the human gut microbiota. Humans are supra-organisms, composed of 10 times more microbial cells than human cells. Therefore, it seems appropriate to consider ourselves as a composite of many species - human, bacterial, and archaeal - and our genome as an amalgamation of human genes and the genes in ''our'' microbial genomes (''microbiome''). In the same sense, our metabolome can be considered to be a synthesis of co-evolved human and microbial traits. The total number of genes present in the human microbiome likely exceeds the number of our H. sapiens genes by orders of magnitude. Thus, without an understanding of our microbiota and microbiome, it not possible to obtain a complete picture of our genetic diversity and of our normal physiology. Our intestine is home to our largest collections of microbes: bacterial densities in the colon (up to 1 trillion cells/ml of luminal contents) are the highest recorded for any known ecosystem. The vast majority of phylogenetic types in the distal gut microbiota belong to just two divisions (phyla) of the domain Bacteria - the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes. Members of eight other divisions have also been identified using culture-independent 16S rRNA gene-based surveys. Metagenomic studies of complex microbial communities residing in our various body habitats are limited by the availability of suitable reference genomes for confident assignment of short sequence reads generated by highly parallel DNA sequencers, and by knowledge of the professions (niches) of community members. Therefore, HGMI, which represents a collaboration between Washington University''s Genome Center and its Center for Genome Sciences, seeks to provide simply annotated, deep draft genome sequences for 100 cultured representatives of the phylogenetic diversity documented by 16S rRNA surveys of the human gut microbiota.
