The CHAOS/DIALIGN WWW server is a multiple sequence alignment site which passes input sequences through CHAOS to create a list of local similarites. These similarities serve as anchor points, allowing DIALIGN to conduct global alignments faster. ABC can then be used for the interactive visualization of the alignment.
Multiple alignment program which assembles a global sequence alignment from gap-free local pairwise alignments. This method could be especially useful when comparing large sequences that have only local similarities.
GeneSigDB is a manually curated database of gene expression signatures. GeneSigDB focuses on cancer, development, and stem cell gene signatures and was constructed from thousands of publications from which we manually transcribe gene signatures. Gene signatures are mapped to the genome to extract standardized lists of EnsEMBL gene identifiers. GeneSigDB provides the original gene signature, the standardized gene list and a fully traceable gene mapping history for each gene from the original transcribed data table through to the standardized list of genes. GeneSigDB release 3.0 (Decemeber 2010) contained over 2,000 gene signatures.
The Stem Cell Lineage Database (SCLD) user-editable lineage maps illustrating both endogenous development and the directed differentiation of human and mouse embryonic stem cells.
