ALLGEN server provides various tools for multiple sequence alignments, clustering, and assembly of ESTs. It also includes search tools for transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), repeated patterns, and transposons.
BLASTO (BLAST on Orthologous groups) is a modified BLAST tool for searching orthologous group data. It treats each orthologous group as a unit and outputs a ranked list of orthologous groups instead of single sequences.
DECA is a species disambiguation system for biological named entities. The system will identify protein entities and disambiguate them according to species, by assigning NCBI Taxonomy organism IDs.
The Ensembl project provides high quality, integrated annotation on chordate and selected eukaryotic genomes within a consistent and accessible infrastructure. All supported species include comprehensive, evidence-based gene annotations and a selected set of genomes includes additional data focused on variation, comparative, evolutionary, functional and regulatory annotation. The most advanced resources are provided for key species including human, mouse, rat and zebrafish.
The Interactive Tree of Life (iTOL) tool is useful for the display, manipulation and annotation of phylogenetic trees. In addition to standart tree viewer functions, it offers powerful annotation of phylogenetic trees with various additional datasets. Annotated trees can be exported into various graphical formats. An user account system is provided, offering easy tree management and sharing through workspaces and projects. Programmatic access is also available.
JCAT (Java Codon Adaptation Tool) is a tool that can adjust the codon usage of an input sequence to the selected organism. Useful for improving the expression of foreign genes in hosts with different codon usage.
MetaPath Online gives users access to an algorithm for network expansion. Starting with given metabolites, called seed compounds, the algorithm uses known information about metabolic reactions and pathways to expand the network and define scope. This systematic investigation of structure-function relationships of metabolic networks can offer evolutionary insights.
mGenomeSubtractor performs mpiBLAST-based comparison of reference bacterial genomes against multiple user-selected genomes. Such in silico subtractive hybridization also allows for definition of species-specific gene pools and can be used to develop genomic arrays.
MouseIndelDB is an integrated database resource containing thousands of previously unreported mouse genomic indel (insertion and deletion) polymorphisms ranging from approximately 100 nt to 10 Kb in size. The database currently includes polymorphisms identified from our alignment of whole-genome shotgun sequence traces from four laboratory mouse strains mapped against the reference C57BL/6J genome using GMAP. They can be queried on a local level by chromosomal coordinates, nearby gene names or other genomic feature identifiers, or in bulk format using categories including mouse strain(s), class of polymorphism(s) and chromosome number. The results of such queries are presented either as a custom track on the UCSC mouse genome browser or in tabular format.
