http://diana.imis.athena-innovation.gr/DianaTools/index.php?r=lncBase/index

Database that hosts elaborated information for both predicted and experimentally verified, miRNA-lncRNA interactions. The database consists of two distinct modules. The Experimental Module contains detailed information for more than 5,000 interactions, between 2,958 lncRNAs and 120 miRNAs, ranging from miRNA and lncRNA related facts to information specific to their interaction, the experimental validation methodologies and their outcomes. The Prediction Module, which is based on the latest version of DIANA-microT target prediction algorithm (DIANA-microT-CDS), contains detailed information for more than 10 million interactions, between 56,097 lncRNAs and 3,078 miRNAs, ranging from miRNA and lncRNA related details to specific information regarding their interaction sites, graphical representation of their binding and the predicted score. This module exhibits a unique feature for searching the database. Users are able to add genomic locations to their queries thus browsing every miRNA-lncRNA interaction that has at least one MRE located inside the queried locus.

http://hoctar.tigem.it/

Database serving as a tool for microRNA target prediction. The HOCTAR procedure is based on the integration of expression profiling and sequence-based miRNA target recognition softwares. HOCTAR database (db) is the first and unique database to use transcriptomic data to score putative miRNA targets looking at the expression behaviour of their host genes, and it includes and re-analyzes all miRNA target predictions generated by softwares such as miRanda, TargetScan and PicTar. The HOCTARdb contains the prediction target lists for 290 human intragenic miRNAs and also provides tentative assignments of miRNA function based on Gene Ontology analyses of their predicted targets. There are two ways to interrogate HOCTARdb: (i) by selecting a miRNA using either an alphabetically sorted pull-down menu in the microRNA query, or (ii) by typing a target gene symbol (HUGO Gene Name-approved) in the Target Gene Name query.

http://www.edinburghbrainbanks.ed.ac.uk/

The purpose of these three Banks (SUDDEN DEATH BRAIN AND TISSUE BANK, HIV BRAIN AND TISSUE BANK, and CJD BRAIN AND TISSUE BANK) is to collect donated samples from the brain and other organs of the body during post mortem examination, and to make these available for medical research. All the samples stored in the Edinburgh Banks are fully authorized for research by families and ethically approved for research use in accordance with the terms of current UK Human Tissue legislation. During the last 100 years or so, much of our knowledge of brain disorders has come from the study of post mortem tissues, based on identifying the differences between diseased and control (normal) brains. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment, as well as understanding the genetic background, of disorders such as Alzheimer''s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson''s disease and the effects of head injury have all depended on research using Brain Bank resources in different countries. Brain Banking in Edinburgh commenced in 1990, focusing specifically on HIV infection of the brain and on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Significant progress in understanding these two brain infections has resulted both from the research in Edinburgh and from the work of scientists worldwide who have used tissue samples from the Edinburgh Brain Banks. These resources proved vital in establishing variant CJD as a new disease, different from the classic sporadic form and in demonstrating the brain changes in pre-AIDS and AIDS, particularly in drug abusers. In 2005 a third brain bank was established in Edinburgh with the specific aim of collecting donated normal brain tissue samples from the forensic post mortem service since there is a worldwide shortage of such material. This Bank also collects samples donated from individuals with psychiatric disorders or a history of head injury or of drug and alcohol addiction.

http://gpcr.biocomp.unibo.it/bacello/

A predictor for the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotes that is based on a decision tree of several support vector machines (SVMs). It classifies up to four localizations for Fungi and Metazoan proteins and five localizations for Plant ones. BaCelLo's predictions are balanced among different classes and all the localizations are considered as equiprobable.
