Abstract

Snap (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Annotation Platform) is a server designed to comprehensively analyze single genes and relationships between genes basing on SNPs in the human genome. The aim of the platform is to facilitate the study of SNP finding and analysis within the framework of medical research. Using a user-friendly web interface, genes can be searched by name, description, position, SNP ID or clone name. Several public databases are integrated, including gene information from Ensembl, protein features from Uniprot/SWISS-PROT, Pfam and DAS-CBS. Gene relationships are fetched from BIND, MINT, KEGG and are integrated with ortholog data from TreeFam to extend the current interaction networks. Integrated tools for primer-design and mis-splicing analysis have been developed to facilitate experimental analysis of individual genes with focus on their variation. Snap is available at http://snap.humgen.au.dk/ and at http://snap.genomics.org.cn/.

The INSDC specifications-foundations for a FAIR and global INSDC.

Members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC; https://www.insdc.org/) collect, exchange, and preserve comprehensive open nucleotide sequence information and provide tools for its access. The INSDC has stated its commitment to welcoming new members into the collaboration to be more representative of the global community of data and users. To reach this goal, a comprehensive definition of the INSDC data model and minimum requirements for data acceptance have been established. Here we describe the processes used to arrive upon these INSDC Specifications and lay out strategies for their continued upkeep to remain current and relevant. Database URL:  https://www.insdc.org/.

Pyrosequencing genotype storage techniques.

Data storage and data coordination are important aspects of project design and execution. Pyrosequencing technology allows thousands of data-points to be collected per day. Consequently, a consistent and reliable method of data input and storage is vital. This chapter discusses the strengths and weaknesses of data storage systems.

CSRDB: a small RNA integrated database and browser resource for cereals.

Plant small RNAs (smRNAs), which include microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs), are emerging as significant components of epigenetic processes and of gene networks involved in development and in homeostasis. Here we present a bioinformatics resource for cereal crops, the Cereal Small RNA Database (CSRDB), consisting of large-scale datasets of maize and rice smRNA sequences generated by high-throughput pyrosequencing. The smRNA sequences have been mapped to the rice genome and to the available maize genome sequence and these results are presented in two genome browser datasets using the Generic Genome Browser. Potential RNA targets for the smRNAs have been predicted and access to the resulting smRNA/RNA target pair dataset has been made available through a MySQL based relational database. Various ways to access the data are provided including links from the genome browser to the target database. Data linking and integration are the main focus for this interface, and internal as well as external links are present. The resource is available at http://sundarlab.ucdavis.edu/smrnas/ and will be updated as more sequences become available.
