BeeSpace Question/Answering (BSQA) system is a web server that performs integrated text mining for insect biology, covering diverse aspects from molecular interactions of genes to insect behavior. BSQA recognizes a number of entities and relations in Medline documents about the model insect, Drosophila melanogaster.
The DIANA-microT web server predicts targets for miRNAs and provides functional information on the predicted miRNA:target gene interaction from various online biological resources. Updates enable the association of miRNAs to diseases through bibliographic analysis and connection to the UCSC genome browser.
E-RNAi is a tool for designing and evaluating dsRNA constructs suitable for RNAi experiments in 12 organisms including Drosophila, C. elegans, human and other emerging model organisms. E-RNAi also facilitates the design of secondary RNAi reagents for validation experiments, evaluation of pooled siRNA reagents and batch design.
The ECR (Evolutionary Conserved Regions) browser is a web-based tool for visualizing and navigating through whole genome alignments of several vertebrate species. Users can also submit sequences for alignment with one of the genomes represented.
This site presents the tenfold whole genome shotgun assembly of the PEST strain of anopheles gambiae, as prepared by The International Anopheles Genome project.
FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae; the primary species represented is Drosophila melanogaster.
GeneMANIA is web interface for generating hypotheses about gene function, analyzing gene lists and prioritizing genes for functional assays. Users input a query list for extension and weighting with functionally similar genes. Six organisms are supported.
Genome Surveyor is a tool for discovery and analysis of cis-regulatory elements and transcription factors in Drosphila built on the GBrowse genome browser.
Database of protein orthologs that interact (interologs) and proteins with conserved regulatory relationships across species (regulogs). Contains data for C. elegans, Drosophila, Arabidopsis, and Yeast.
The PANTHER (Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships) Classification System is a unique resource that classifies genes by their functions, using published scientific experimental evidence and evolutionary relationships to predict function. The PANTHER research tools allow you to score proteins against the PANTHER HMM library, use PANTHER to do gene expression analyses, and download PANTHER tools and data.
Regulatory Element Database for Drosophila (REDfly) is a curated collection of known Drosophila transcriptional cis-regulatory modules (CRMs). REDfly seeks to include all experimentally verified fly CRMs along with their DNA sequence, their associated genes, and the expression patterns they direct.
Target Explorer can be used to create custom matrices to describe transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), search for clusters of TFBS, and identify target genes. Free registration is required.
