mirConnX

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

mirConnX is a user-friendly web interface for inferring, displaying and parsing mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) gene regulatory networks. mirConnX combines sequence information with gene expression data analysis to create a disease-specific, genome-wide regulatory network. A prior, static network has been constructed for all human and mouse genes. It consists of computationally predicted transcription factor (TF)-gene associations and miRNA target predictions. The prior network is supplemented with known interactions from the literature.

SignaLink

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

Signaling pathways control a large variety of cellular processes. However, currently, even within the same database signaling pathways are often curated at different levels of detail. This makes comparative and cross-talk analyses difficult.

siDRM

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have become an indispensable tool for the investigation of gene functions. Most existing siRNA design tools were trained on datasets assembled from confined origins, incompatible with the diverse siRNA laboratory practice to which these tools will ultimately be applied. We have performed an updated analysis using the disjunctive rule merging (DRM) approach on a large and diverse dataset compiled from siRecords, and implemented the resulting rule sets in siDRM, a new online siRNA design tool.

RNAither

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

We present RNAither, a package for the free statistical environment R which performs an analysis of high-throughput RNA interference (RNAi) knock-down experiments, generating lists of relevant genes and pathways out of raw experimental data. The library provides a quality assessment of the signal intensities, as well as a broad range of options for data normalization, different statistical tests for the identification of significant siRNAs, and a significance analysis of the biological processes involving corresponding genes.

PatMaN

Submitted by ChenLiang on Sun, 09/10/2017 - 20:06

We present a tool suited for searching for many short nucleotide sequences in large databases, allowing for a predefined number of gaps and mismatches. The commandline-driven program implements a non-deterministic automata matching algorithm on a keyword tree of the search strings. Both queries with and without ambiguity codes can be searched. Search time is short for perfect matches, and retrieval time rises exponentially with the number of edits allowed.

SHRiMP

Submitted by ChenLiang on Thu, 04/06/2017 - 19:08

The development of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, capable of sequencing hundreds of millions of short reads (25-70 bp each) in a single run, is opening the door to population genomic studies of non-model species. In this paper we present SHRiMP - the SHort Read Mapping Package: a set of algorithms and methods to map short reads to a genome, even in the presence of a large amount of polymorphism.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding elements involved in the post-transcriptional down-regulation of gene expression through base pairing with messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Through this mechanism, several miRNA-mRNA pairs have been described as critical in the regulation of multiple cellular processes, including early embryonic development and pathological conditions. Many of these pairs (such as miR-15b/BCL2 in apoptosis or BART-6/BCL6 in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas) were experimentally discovered and/or computationally predicted.

Tomato Functional Genomics Database

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

Tomato fruit and leaf development offers excellent systems to study the evolution of gene regulation underlying development of different organs. We have identified over 350 and 700 small RNAs from tomato fruit and leaf, respectively. Except for conserved microRNAs, more than 90% of the small RNAs are unique to tomato. We confirmed expression of some conserved as well as novel putative microRNAs by Northern hybridization.

SM2miR

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The inappropriate expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is closely related with disease diagnosis, prognosis and therapy response. Recently, many studies have demonstrated that bioactive small molecules (or drugs) can regulate miRNA expression, which indicates that targeting miRNAs with small molecules is a new therapy for human diseases. In this study, we established the SM2miR database, which recorded 2925 relationships between 151 small molecules and 747 miRNAs in 17 species after manual curation from nearly 2000 articles.

GeneCodis

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

We present GENECODIS, a web-based tool that integrates different sources of information to search for annotations that frequently co-occur in a set of genes and rank them by statistical significance. The analysis of concurrent annotations provides significant information for the biologic interpretation of high-throughput experiments and may outperform the results of standard methods for the functional analysis of gene lists.
