Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. Follow this ongoing research on our Progress page. ... [Information of the supplier]
DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan) began DNA data bank activities in earnest in 1986 at the National Institute of Genetics (NIG). From the beginning, DDBJ has been functioning as one of the International DNA Databases, including EBI in Europe and NCBI in the USA as the two other members. Consequently, we have been collaborating with the two data banks through exchanging data and information on Internet and by regularly holding two meetings, the International DNA Data Banks Advisory Meeting and the International DNA Data Banks Collaborative Meeting. DDBJ is the sole DNA data bank in Japan, which is officially certified to collect DNA sequences from researchers and to issue the internationally recognized accession number to data submitters. We collect data mainly from Japanese researchers, but of course accept data and issue the accession number to researchers in any other countries. Since we exchange the collected data with EMBL/EBI and GenBank/NCBI on a daily basis, the three data banks share virtually the same data at any given time. We also provide worldwide many tools for data retrieval and analysis developed by at DDBJ and others. ... [Information of the supplier]
A database is a model of a piece of the world. RegulonDB in this sense is a model of the complex regulation of transcription initiation or regulatory network of the cell, on the one hand. On the other hand, it is also a model of the organization of the genes in transcription units, operons and simple and complex regulons. In this sense, RegulonDB is a computational model of mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. ... [Information of the supplier]
Cyanobacteria carry a complete set of genes for oxygenic photosynthesis, which is the most fundamental life process on the earth. This organism is also interesting from an evolutional viewpoint, for it was born in a very ancient age and has survived in various environments. Chloroplast is believed to have evolved from cyanobacterial ancestors which developed an endosymbiontic relationship with a eukaryotic host cell. CyanoBase provides an easy way of accessing the sequences and all-inclusive annotation data on the structures of the cyanobacterial genomes. ... [Information of the supplier]
Saccharomyces Genome Database is a scientific database of the molecular biology and genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is commonly known as baker's or budding yeast. (...) SGD contains the sequences of yeast genes and proteins; descriptions and classifications of their biological roles, molecular functions, and subcellular localizations; links to literature information; links to functional genomics datasets; and tools for analysis and comparison of sequences. The SGD Home page is the main entry point for the database. SGD is aimed at scientists; collected information about yeast for the non-scientist can be found at the Yeast Virtual Library. SGD does not collect medical information, and SGD curators cannot answer health-related questions. ... [Information of the supplier]
FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae. [Information of the supplier]
Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) provides integrated access to data on the genetics, genomics, and biology of the laboratory mouse. The projects contributing to this resource are: (1) Mouse Genome Database (MGD) Project; (2) Gene Expression Database (GXD) Project; (3) Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database Project; (4) Gene Ontology (GO) Project. ...

Codon Usage Database is an extended WWW version of CUTG (Codon Usage Tabulated from GenBank). The frequency of codon use in each organism is made searchable through this World Wide Web site. Data amount: 32,775 organisms, 2,298,913 complete protein coding genes (CDS's), as of January 2007. Usage: A query box to search a codon usage table for an organism, is presented. Search can be done with Latin name or its sub-string of organism. ... [Information of the supplier]
This page allows you to test an antibody sequence against the Kabat sequence database. Any unusual residues (occurring in < 1% of chains in the database) will be reported to you. This allows the identification of potential cloning artifacts and sequencing errors. The current Kabat database contains 6014 light chains and 7895 heavy chains. ... [Information of the supplier]
The primary goal of computational molecular biology, like molecular biology itself, is to understand the meaning of the genomic information and how this information is expressed. We are interested in the problems of predicting biological function of genes and gene products from their primary sequence and structure (sometimes known as functional genomics). We are interested in predicting structure of protein and DNA from its sequence, and understanding how and when genes are expressed. ... [Information of the supplier]
