BioMagResBank (BMRB) is the publicly-accessible depository for NMR results from peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids recognized by the International Society of Magnetic Resonance and by the IUPAC-IUBMB-IUPAB Inter-Union Task Group on the Standardization of Data Bases of Protein and Nucleic Acid Structures Determined by NMR Spectroscopy. In addition, BMRB provides reference information and maintains a collection of NMR pulse sequences and computer software for biomolecular NMR. Access to data in BMRB is free directly from its web site (URL http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu) and ftp site (ftp.bmrb.wisc.edu) and will remain so as public funding permits. The concept of a biomolecular NMR data bank was developed under a five-year research grant awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. ...

Proteomik ist eine sehr junge Forschungsrichtung mit einer sehr viel älteren Wurzel: der Proteinanalytik. Diese befaßt sich mit der Aufklärung von molekularen Eigenschaften wie Aminosäuresequenz, dreidimensionale Struktur und biologische Aktivität individueller Proteine. Untersuchungsgegenstand der Proteomik ist demgegenüber die Gesamtheit aller Proteine in einer biologischen Probe im Moment der Untersuchung und bei den dafür gültigen Bedingungen. Dafür wurde vor etwa 7 Jahren der Begriff "Proteom" geprägt. Die DGPF versteht sich als Plattform, um die in Deutschland an verschiedenen Standorten und im Rahmen unterschiedlicher Programme angelaufenen Proteomik-Aktivitäten unter einem Dach zusammenzuführen und darüber hinaus die Proteomforschung durch national und international abgestimmte Initiativen voranzubringen. Durch eine übergreifende Koordination soll eine Bündelung und optimale Nutzung der nationalen Forschungs-kapazitäten herbeigeführt werden, um im weltweiten Wettbewerb an führender Stelle bestehen zu können. ...

M phase, also called as cell division, is the most crucial and fundamental affair of the eukaryotic cell cycle. After the chromosomes have been replicated during the S phase, the sister chromatids are separated and distributed into two daughter cells equally and faithfully. Also, each daughter cell receives the almost average and necessary intracellular constituents and organelles from the mother cell. Generally, cell division consists of six stages, including prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. And the first five stages constituent mitosis. During mitosis, numerous proteins organize protein super-complexes at the three distinct regions of centrosome, kinetochore/centromere and cleavage furrow/midbody. Although many proteins have been identified to be localized on centrosome, kinetochore and/or midbody, an integrated resource on this area still remains not to be available. In this work, we have collected all proteins identified to be localized on kinetochore, centrosome, and/or midbody from two fungi (S. cerevisiae and S. pombe) and five animals, including C. elegans, D. melanogaster, X. laevis, M. musculus and H. sapiens. From the related literature of PubMed, numerous proteins have been manually curated to be localized on at least one of the sub-cellular localizations of kinetochore, centrosome and midbody. And to promise the quality of data, based on the rationale of "Seeing is believing", these proteins have been unambiguously observed under fluorescent microscope as directly supportive evidences. Then an integrated and searchable database MiCroKit - Midbody, Centrosome and Kinetochore has been established. The MiCroKit database is the first integrative resource to pin point most of identified components and related scientific information of midbody, centrosome and kinetochore. The version 1.0 of MiCroKit database was set up on Nov. 2nd, 2005, containing 1,065 unique proteins. The MiCroKit version 2.0 was released on Jun. 5th, 2006, with 1,120 entries. Currently, the MiCroKit 3.0 database was updated on July 9, 2009, containing 1,489 unique protein entries. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The NCBI Entrez Genome Project database is intended to be a searchable collection of complete and incomplete large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. The database is organized into organism-specific overviews that function as portals from which all projects in the database pertaining to that organism can be browsed and retrieved. ...

Synthetic biology has gained much attention since Craig Venter and his team in 2010 made the historic announcement of the creation of first fully functioning, reproducing cell controlled by synthetic DNA. The 2013 NCMLS New Frontiers symposium - a joint venture between the Radboud University Medical & Science faculties - will feature international keynote speakers as well as NCMLS top researchers, who will provide high-quality presentations on current achievements and challenges ahead in our quest to understanding the chemistry and biology of life. ...

SINEBase is a database of SINEs and a toolset for their identification and analysis.Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are repetitive DNA sequences invading the genomes of eukaryotes. They can amount to more than 10% of the genome in some species but are missing from other ones. While these genomic parasites can be deleterious to the cell, the long-term being in the genome has made SINEs a valuable factor of genetic variation providing regulatory elements for gene expression, alternative splice sites, polyadenylation signals, and even functional RNA genes. ...

There has been tremendous progress in the past few years regarding our understanding of DNA replication in eukaryotes, both yeast and mammals. Many important questions in the field are poised to be answered within the next decade. These include understanding DNA replication at the biochemical and three-dimensional protein structure levels. In addition, studies using high throughput technologies at the cellular and organismal levels are poised to answer how accurate replication of the genome is ensured by controlling origin firing in space and time. Several human diseases, including cancer, have already been linked to DNA replication stress, a term that refers to perturbations in DNA replication. Therefore, a better understanding of how cells respond to this will help us understand disease development and responses to therapy. By bringing together experts in the basic biology of DNA replication and DNA replication stress, this symposium aims to fuel further progress in these important fields. ...

Many resources (e.g. Nature Reviews Genetics) offer a 10,000-foot view of the current trends in the field, reviews of various technologies, and guidelines on how to effectively design, analyze, and interpret experiments in human genetics and bioinformatics research. By comparison very few resources focus on the mundane, yet critical know-how for those on the ground actually doing the science (i.e. grad students, postdocs, analysts, and junior faculty). Getting Genetics Done aims to fill that gap by featuring software, code snippets, literature of interest, workflow philosophy, and anything else that can boost productivity and simplify getting things done in human genetics research. ...
