PROSITE is a database of protein families and domains. It consists of biologically significant sites, patterns and profiles that help to reliably identify to which known protein family a new sequence belongs. PROSITE is based at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB), Geneva, Switzerland.

The CATH-Gene3D database describes protein families and domain architectures in complete genomes. Protein families are formed using a Markov clustering algorithm, followed by multi-linkage clustering according to sequence identity. Mapping of predicted structure and sequence domains is undertaken using hidden Markov models libraries representing CATH and Pfam domains. CATH-Gene3D is based at University College, London, UK.

Database of three-dimensional structures of macromolecules that allows the user to retrieve structures for specific molecule types as well as structures for genes and proteins of interest. Three main databases comprise Structure-The Molecular Modeling Database; Conserved Domains and Protein Classification; and the BioSystems Database. Structure also links to the PubChem databases to connect biological activity data to the macromolecular structures. Users can locate structural templates for proteins and interactively view structures and sequence data to closely examine sequence-structure relationships. * Macromolecular structures: The three-dimensional structures of biomolecules provide a wealth of information on their biological function and evolutionary relationships. The Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB), as part of the Entrez system, facilitates access to structure data by connecting them with associated literature, protein and nucleic acid sequences, chemicals, biomolecular interactions, and more. It is possible, for example, to find 3D structures for homologs of a protein of interest by following the Related Structure link in an Entrez Protein sequence record. * Conserved domains and protein classification: Conserved domains are functional units within a protein that act as building blocks in molecular evolution and recombine in various arrangements to make proteins with different functions. The Conserved Domain Database (CDD) brings together several collections of multiple sequence alignments representing conserved domains, in addition to NCBI-curated domains that use 3D-structure information explicitly to define domain boundaries and provide insights into sequence/structure/function relationships. * Small molecules and their biological activity: The PubChem project provides information on the biological activities of small molecules and is a component of NIH''''s Molecular Libraries Roadmap Initiative. PubChem includes three databases: PCSubstance, PCBioAssay, and PCCompound. The PubChem data are linked to other data types (illustrated example) in the Entrez system, making it possible, for example, to retrieve information about a compound and then Link to its biological activity data, retrieve 3D protein structures bound to the compound and interactively view their active sites, and find biosystems that include the compound as a component. * Biological Systems: A biosystem, or biological system, is a group of molecules that interact directly or indirectly, where the grouping is relevant to the characterization of living matter. The NCBI BioSystems Database provides centralized access to biological pathways from several source databases and connects the biosystem records with associated literature, molecular, and chemical data throughout the Entrez system. BioSystem records list and categorize components (illustrated example), such as the genes, proteins, and small molecules involved in a biological system. The companion FLink icon FLink tool, in turn, allows you to input a list of proteins, genes, or small molecules and retrieve a ranked list of biosystems.

Developments in sequencing technologies and the sequencing of an ever-increasing number of genomes have revolutionised studies of biodiversity and organismal evolution. This accumulation of data has been paralleled by the creation of numerous public biological databases through which the scientific community can mine the sequences and annotations of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes of multiple species. However, to find the appropriate databases and bioinformatic tools for respective inquiries and aims can be challenging. Here, we present a compilation of DNA and protein databases, as well as bioinformatic tools for phylogenetic reconstruction and a wide range of studies on molecular evolution. We provide a protocol for information extraction from biological databases and simple phylogenetic reconstruction using probabilistic and distance methods, facilitating the study of biodiversity and evolution at the molecular level for the broad scientific community.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 8/12/13. An expanded version of the Alternative Splicing Annotation Project (ASAP) database with a new interface and integration of comparative features using UCSC BLASTZ multiple alignments. It supports 9 vertebrate species, 4 insects, and nematodes, and provides with extensive alternative splicing analysis and their splicing variants. As for human alternative splicing data, newly added EST libraries were classified and included into previous tissue and cancer classification, and lists of tissue and cancer (normal) specific alternatively spliced genes are re-calculated and updated. They have created a novel orthologous exon and intron databases and their splice variants based on multiple alignment among several species. These orthologous exon and intron database can give more comprehensive homologous gene information than protein similarity based method. Furthermore, splice junction and exon identity among species can be valuable resources to elucidate species-specific genes. ASAP II database can be easily integrated with pygr (unpublished, the Python Graph Database Framework for Bioinformatics) and its powerful features such as graph query, multi-genome alignment query and etc. ASAP II can be searched by several different criteria such as gene symbol, gene name and ID (UniGene, GenBank etc.). The web interface provides 7 different kinds of views: (I) user query, UniGene annotation, orthologous genes and genome browsers; (II) genome alignment; (III) exons and orthologous exons; (IV) introns and orthologous introns; (V) alternative splicing; (IV) isoform and protein sequences; (VII) tissue and cancer vs. normal specificity. ASAP II shows genome alignments of isoforms, exons, and introns in UCSC-like genome browser. All alternative splicing relationships with supporting evidence information, types of alternative splicing patterns, and inclusion rate for skipped exons are listed in separate tables. Users can also search human data for tissue- and cancer-specific splice forms at the bottom of the gene summary page. The p-values for tissue-specificity as log-odds (LOD) scores, and highlight the results for LOD >= 3 and at least 3 EST sequences are all also reported.

Protein Structure Initiative - TargetTrack protein target registration database (795 MB, gzipped tarball) The Protein Structure Initiative was a high-throughput structural genomics effort from 2000-2015 focused on developing technologies to enable greater coverage of protein structure space. Over its 15-year tenure, over 100 investigators at 35 centers (see ContributingCenters.xls) declared over 350,000 protein sequences (targets) that they would study using state-of-the-art protein production and structure determination methods. Many of these targets were selected through bioinformatics-based methods to serve as representatives for sequence and structure clusters. From 2003-2010, these selected sequences and some basic identifying metadata were kept in a database called TargetDB, created at the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics at Rutgers University. In 2008, a second database named PepcDB was created to track detailed experimental trial history and the standard protocols used by the PSI centers. These two databases became the principal structural genomics target databases, and were rolled into the PSI Structural Biology Knowledgebase in 2008. As part of the third phase of the PSI, TargetDB and PepcDB were merged into a single resource, TargetTrack, to facilitate one-stop access to the data as well as expanding the schema to include new required data items. Participating centers deposited the latest status on their active targets and the protocols that were used (along with any deviations) on a weekly or quarterly basis. TargetTrack provided a variety of pre-computed data downloads on a weekly basis as well. In July 2017, the Structural Biology Knowledgebase ceased operations. The files provided in this tarball represent the final datafiles generated by TargetTrack (timestamp June 30, 2017). Please read the README included in this dataset for descriptions of each file.

Dataset description:

The Encyclopedia of Domains (TED) is a joint effort by CATH (Orengo group) and the Jones group at University College London to identify and classify protein domains in AlphaFold2 models from AlphaFold Database version 4, covering over 188 million unique sequences and 324 million domain assignments.

In this data release, we will be making available to the community a table of domain boundaries and additional metadata on quality (pLDDT, globularity, number of secondary structures), taxonomy and putative CATH SuperFamily or Fold assignments for all 324 million domains in TED100.

For all chains in the TED-redundant dataset, the attached file contains boundaries predictions, consensus level and information on the TED100 representative.

Additionally, an archive with chain-level consensus domain assignments are available for 21 model organisms and 25 global health proteomes:

For both TED100 and TEDredundant we provide domain boundaries predictions outputted by each of the three methods employed in the project (Chainsaw, Merizo, UniDoc).

We are making available 7,427 novel folds PDB files, identified during the TED classification process with an annotation table sorted by novelty.

Please use the gunzip command to extract files with a '.gz' extension.

CATH annotations have been assigned using the FoldSeek algorithm applied in various modes and the FoldClass algorithm, both of which are used to report significant structural similarity to a known CATH domain.
Note: The TED protocol differs from that of our standard CATH Assignment protocol for superfamily assignment, which also involves HMM-based protocols and manual curation for remote matches.

SUPERFAMILY is a library of profile hidden Markov models that represent all proteins of known structure. The library is based on the SCOP classification of proteins: each model corresponds to a SCOP domain and aims to represent the entire SCOP superfamily that the domain belongs to. SUPERFAMILY is based at the University of Bristol, UK.

Consortium for preservation of the UniProt databases: UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB), UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef), and UniProt Archive (UniParc), UniProt Proteomes. Collaboration between European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and Protein Information Resource. Swiss-Prot is a curated subset of UniProtKB.

SUPFAM is a database that consists of clusters of potentially related homologous protein domain families, with and without three-dimensional structural information, forming superfamilies. The present release (Release 3.0) of SUPFAM uses homologous families in Pfam (Version 23.0) and SCOP (Release 1.69) which are examples of sequence -alignment and structure classification databases respectively. The two steps involved in setting up of SUPFAM database are * Relating Pfam and SCOP families using a new profile-profile alignment algorithm AlignHUSH. This results in identifying many Pfam families which could be related to a family or superfamily of known structural information. * An all-against-all match among Pfam families with yet unknown structure resulting in identification of related Pfam families forming new potential superfamilies. The SUPFAM database can be used in either the Browse mode or Search mode. In Browse mode you can browse through the Superfamilies, Pfam families or SCOP families. In each of these modes you will be presented with a full list which can be easily browsed. In Search mode, you can search for Pfam families, SCOP families or Superfamilies based on keywords or SCOP/Pfam identifiers of families and superfamilies.

The identification of species in Ficus virens as Australian dwelling organisms has been achieved by accessing the Australian Plant Census (APC) or Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) through the Atlas of Living Australia.

PRINTS is a compendium of protein fingerprints. A fingerprint is a group of conserved motifs used to characterise a protein family or domain. PRINTS is based at the University of Manchester, UK.

To enable the identification of mutated peptide sequences in complex biological samples, in this work, a cancer protein database with mutation information collected from several public resources such as COSMIC, IARC P53, OMIM and UniProtKB, was developed. In-house developed Perl-scripts were used to search and process the data, and to translate each gene-level mutation into a mutated peptide sequence. The cancer mutation database comprises a total of 872,125 peptide entries from 25,642 protein IDs. A description line for each entry provides the parent protein ID and name, the cDNA- and protein-level mutation site and type, the originating database, and the cancer tissue type and corresponding hits. The database is FASTA formatted to enable data retrieval by commonly used tandem MS search engines.

Bio Resource for array genes is a free online resource for easy access to collective and integrated information from various public biological resources for human, mouse, rat, fly and c. elegans genes. The resource includes information about the genes that are represented in Unigene clusters. This resource provides interactive tools to selectively view, analyze and interpret gene expression patterns against the background of gene and protein functional information. Different query options are provided to mine the biological relationships represented in the underlying database. Search button will take you to the list of query tools available. This Bio resource is a platform designed as an online resource to assist researchers in analyzing results of microarray experiments and developing a biological interpretation of the results. This site is mainly to interpret the unique gene expression patterns found as biological changes that can lead to new diagnostic procedures and drug targets. This interactive site allows users to selectively view a variety of information about gene functions that is stored in an underlying database. Although there are other online resources that provide a comprehensive annotation and summary of genes, this resource differs from these by further enabling researchers to mine biological relationships amongst the genes captured in the database using new query tools. Thus providing a unique way of interpreting the microarray data results based on the knowledge provided for the cellular roles of genes and proteins. A total of six different query tools are provided and each offer different search features, analysis options and different forms of display and visualization of data. The data is collected in relational database from public resources: Unigene, Locus link, OMIM, NCBI dbEST, protein domains from NCBI CDD, Gene Ontology, Pathways (Kegg, Genmapp and Biocarta) and BIND (Protein interactions). Data is dynamically collected and compiled twice a week from public databases. Search options offer capability to organize and cluster genes based on their Interactions in biological pathways, their association with Gene Ontology terms, Tissue/organ specific expression or any other user-chosen functional grouping of genes. A color coding scheme is used to highlight differential gene expression patterns against a background of gene functional information. Concept hierarchies (Anatomy and Diseases) of MESH (Medical Subject Heading) terms are used to organize and display the data related to Tissue specific expression and Diseases.
