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.
The Gramene database has become a resource for major model and crop plants including Arabidopsis, Brachypodium, maize, sorghum, poplar and grape in addition to several species of rice. Gramene has an Ensembl genome browser and host a wide array of data sets including quantitative trait loci (QTL), metabolic pathways, genetic diversity, genes, proteins, germplasm, literature, ontologies and a fully-structured markers and sequences database integrated with genome browsers and maps from various published studies (genetic, physical, bin, etc.). In addition, Gramene now hosts a variety of web services including a Distributed Annotation Server (DAS), BLAST and a public MySQL database.
Lots of information on fugu including complete draft sequence, annotations, comparative vertebrate genomics, phylogenies, publications, and information about the fugu genome project; has some very useful tools including annotation tools, an Ensembl mirror, and BLAST.
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.
The REDfly database of Drosophila transcriptional cis-regulatory elements provides experimentally validated cis-regulatory modules and transcription factor binding sites. The user interface is designed for access by both causal and power users and is intended as a tool for facilitating computational as well as experimental studies of transcriptional regulation.
Twinscan is a system for predicting gene-structure in eukaryotic genomic sequences. In order to make its predictions, Twinscan combines the information from predicted coding regions and splice sites with conserservation measurements between the target sequence and sequences from a closely related genome. Currently sequences from mammalian genomes, and those of Arabidopsis thaliana, C. elegans, C. briggsae and strains JEC21 and H99 of Cryptococcus neoformans can be processed using Twinscan.
