The ACLAME database is dedicated to the collection, analysis and classification of sequenced mobile genetic elements (MGEs, in particular phages and plasmids). Classifications are available at various levels of organization. At the gene/protein level, families group similar sequences that are expected to share the same function. Families of four or more proteins are manually assigned with a functional annotation using the GeneOntology and the locally developed ontology MeGO dedicated to MGEs. At the genome level, evolutionary cohesive modules group sets of protein families shared among MGEs. At the population level, networks display the reticulate evolutionary relationships among MGEs.
The antibiotic and Secondary Metabolite Analysis Shell (antiSMASH) is a resource for identification, annotation and analysis of secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters in bacterial and fungal genome sequences.
ASAP (a systematic annotation package for community analysis of genomes) is a relational database and web interface developed to store, update and distribute genome sequence data and functional characterization. ASAP supports three levels of users: public viewers, annotators and curators.
BActeriocin GEnome mining tooL (BAGEL) identifies putative bacteriocin ORFs (antimicrobial peptides) based on a database containing information about known bacteriocins and adjacent genes involved in bacteriocin activity.
BAGEL2 (BActeriocin GEnome mining tooL) identifies putative bacteriocins on the basis of conserved domains, physical properties and genomic context. Improved genome mining capacity from BAGEL.
BASys (Bacterial Annotation System) is a tool for automated annotation of bacterial genomic (chromosomal and plasmid) sequences including gene/protein names, GO functions, COG functions, possible paralogues and orthologues, molecular weights, isoelectric points, operon structures, subcellular localization, signal peptides, transmembrane regions, secondary structures, 3-D structures, reactions, and pathways.
BioCyc is a collection of pathway/genome databases derived either from the literature (EcoCyc and MetaCyc) or computationally (ie. HumanCyc). EcoCyc is used to visualize gene layout, biochemical reactions, and pathways for the E. coli chromosome; MetaCyc contains the enzymes, reactions, and pathways for a variety of organisms (mostly micro-organisms)
The beta-barrel Outer Membrane protein Predictor (BOMP) takes one or more fasta-formatted polypeptide sequences from Gram-negative bacteria as input and predicts whether or not they are beta-barrel integral outer membrane proteins.
The Bioinformatics Resource for Oral Pathogens (BROP) contains tools for genomics of oral pathogens including Genome Viewer, GOAL (genome wide ORF alignment), an oral pathogen microarray database, an entrez counter, oral pathogen specific BLAST, and a codon usage database.
Collection of Anti-Microbial Peptides (CAMP) is a free online database that is manually curated and currently holds 3782 antimicrobial sequences. These sequences are divided into experimentally validated (patents and non-patents: 2766) and predicted (1016) datasets based on their reference literature. Information like source organism, activity (MIC values), reference literature, target and non-target organisms of AMPs are captured in the database. Prediction and sequence analysis tools, including BLAST, are integrated in the database.
The CGView Server generates graphical maps of circular genomes that can be used to visualize sequence conservation in the context of sequence features, imported analysis results, open reading frames and base composition plots. The server uses BLAST to compare the primary sequence of up to three genomes or sequence sets, aiding in the identification of conserved genome segments, instances of horizontal transfer or visualization of genome segments from newly obtained sequence reads.
The Comprehensive Microbial Resource (CMR) gives access to a central repository of the sequence and annotation of all complete public prokaryotic genomes as well as comparative genomics tools across all of the genomes in the database.
COMBREX is a project to increase the speed of the functional annotation of new bacterial and archaeal genomes. It consists of a database of functional predictions produced by computational biologists and a mechanism for experimental biochemists to bid for the validation of those predictions. Small grants are available to support successful bids.
