caArray is an open-source, web and programmatically accessible array data management system. caArray guides the annotation and exchange of array data using a federated model of local installations whose results are shareable across the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG™). caArray furthers translational cancer research through acquisition, dissemination and aggregation of semantically interoperable array data to support subsequent analysis by tools and services on and off the Grid. As array technology advances and matures, caArray will extend its logical library of assay management. ... [Information of the supplier]
PomBase is a new model organism database that provides organization of and access to scientific data for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. PomBase supports genomic sequence and features, genome-wide datasets and manual literature curation. PomBase also provides a community hub for researchers, providing genome statistics, a community curation interface, news, events, documentation and mailing lists. ... [Information of the supplier]
Polbase(R) is an open repository of DNA polymerase information. The goals are: a) Provide a free and open information resource focused on DNA polymerases; b) Extract primary results from published and unpublished sources; c) Present results in context, without editorial bias, verified by authors; d) Create a polymerase-centric information hub by connecting with other protein resources (PubMed, PDB, UniProt, etc.); e) Be responsive to community suggestions; f) Remain current by automatically identifying newly published papers; g) Sustainability! By engaging the polymerase research community we can produce a valuable resource with minimal effort from any individual contributor The DNA Polymerase Database (Polbase) is intended to compile the wealth of existing DNA Polymerase information from public and private records into an open, searchable database. It supplements existing resources: a) PubMed; b) ExPASy; c) UniProtKB; d) RCSB PDB; e) KEGG; f) PROSITE; g) BRENDA; h) Human Polymerase Gamma Mutation Database. ... [Information of the supplier]
The goal of the Nucleic Acid Database Project (NDB) is to assemble and distribute structural information about nucleic acids. The NDB was founded in 1992 by Helen M. Berman, Rutgers University, Wilma K. Olson, Rutgers University, and David Beveridge, Wesleyan University. In addition, Anke Gelblin, Tamas Demeny, S. -H. Hsieh, A.R. Srinivasan, and Bohdan Schneider were members of the original NDB project team. The NDB Project is funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. The NDB maintains the mmCIF Web site. mmCIF (macromolecular Crystallographic Information File) is the IUCr-approved data representation for macromolecular structures. ...

This web portal is dedicated to putatively active LINE-1 elements. L1Base is a dedicated database containing putatively active LINE-1 (L1) insertions residing in human and rodent genomes: a) intact in the two ORFs, full length L1s (FLI-L1s) and b) L1s with intact ORF2 but disrupted ORF1 (ORF2-L1s). In addition, due to their regulatory potential, the full length (>6000bp) non-intact L1s (FLnI-L1s) were also included in the database. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Multi-purpose Automated Genome Project Investigation Environment (MAGPIE, http://magpie.ucalgary.ca/) is a software package for the automated curation and presentation of DNA and protein sequences. MAGPIE distills the results of multiple database searches for each sequence (e.g. expressed sequence tags, ESTs) or subsequence (e.g. open reading frames, ORFs, in bacterial genomic DNA) into a summary page that facilitates interpretation of genes' biological roles and origins. Database search tool used with MAGPIE include the standard NCBI-BLAST set of searches, plus more sensitive Smith-Waterman searches for frameshift prone data such as ESTs. Hidden Markov Model searches are also performed, including against an in-house HMM library derived from the NCBI's Clusters of Orthologuous Genes (COGs) database, including eukaryotic and prokaryotic clusters. HMM searches often provide single, concise, and accurate data for functional assignment. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Barcoding Fauna Bavarica project is an All Species DNA barcoding campaign of the Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich (ZSM) and the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding (CCDB). It represents a major component of Germany's contribution to the International Barcode of Life Project. Core funding comes from the Bavarian State Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts, and from Genome Canada through the Ontario Genomics Institute.

We are happy to announce that 2013 is the 10 year anniversary of DNA barcoding and we plan to celebrate this milestone in Kunming, China. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ and Kunming Institute of Botany are pleased to be hosting this year’s conference. The conference will consist of four days of plenary and parallel sessions. Preconference events, such as discussion meetings focusing on advances in sequencing and informatics techniques will be held on the Sunday before the conference. There is also a Training Course associated with the conference (max 30 delegates). Past conferences have brought together participants from over 60 countries, including researchers, students, government officials, and representatives of NGOs and private companies. This year’s conference hosts, the Chinese Academy of Science and Kunming Institute of Botany, have provided a venue that hosts up to 500 participants. ... [Information of the supplier]
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. ...

The Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Novosibirsk, Russia, will arrange the 9th International Conference on the Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\Systems Biology (BGRS\SB-2014). These regular conferences have been run since 1998. The young scientists' school “Bioinformatics and Systems Biology” will be arranged as part of the conference. Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing field of knowledge. Each of the past BGRS conferences concerned topics urgent at those times. To preserve this tradition, the BGRS-2014 conference will be dedicated to bioinformatics and systems biology. ... [Information of the supplier]
