It is a great pleasure to invite you, on behalf of the organizing committees, to join us in Paris, for this exciting meeting, which includes an outstanding scientific program and terrific social event! ICAR is the largest annual international conference focusing on cutting-edge plant research. It will highlight not only recent advances in Arabidopsis research, but also translational research emphasizing the importance and usefulness of Arabidopsis as a biological model and its impact on other systems. The conference is held under the auspices of the French Society of Plant Biology (SFBV) with the operational and executive assistance of the Saclay Plant Sciences Laboratory network of Excellence (SPS LabEx). ...

The Wellcome Trust is pleased to announce the 28th annual Mouse Molecular Genetics conference. This meeting is the leading forum for researchers who apply genetics and genomics techniques in the mouse to address fundamental issues in mammalian biology. The Mouse Molecular Genetics conference attracts international participation and promotes the presentation of novel, unpublished research findings. This year’s conference will showcase the latest developments in genetics, genomics, engineering of the mouse genome, systems analysis, and imaging of dynamic molecular and physiological processes. The meeting takes the form of topic-related platform sessions and two poster sessions. Sessions will include organogenesis, development, genomics, epigenetics, stem cell biology, technology, models of human disease and cancer. The platform sessions are composed of long talks from leaders in the field and short presentations selected from submitted abstracts, often from graduate students and post-docs. This format provides a stimulating environment for the exchange of ideas and information. ... [Information of the supplier]
You are invited to attend the 58th Annual Drosophila Research Conference, sponsored by The Genetics Society of America. The Conference will be held March 29-April 2, 2017 at the Town & Country Resort & Convention Center. This is the premier meeting for students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff and principal investigators studying Drosophila melanogaster. Share your research and learn about the latest findings at this leading edge conference. As many as 1,000 presentations means there is something for everyone. In addition to talks, students will also have the chance to participate in several education and career development sessions. ... [Information of the supplier]
The goals of the Drosophila Genome Center are to finish the sequence of the euchromatic genome of Drosophila melanogaster to high quality and to generate and maintain biological annotations of this sequence. In addition to genomic sequencing, the BDGP is 1) producing gene disruptions using P element-mediated mutagenesis on a scale unprecedented in metazoans; 2) characterizing the sequence and expression of cDNAs; and 3) developing informatics tools that support the experimental process, identify features of DNA sequence, and allow us to present up-to-date information about the annotated sequence to the research community. ...

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.

Bgee is a database to retrieve and compare gene expression patterns between animal species. Bgee first maps heterogeneous expression data (currently EST, Affymetrix, and in situ hybridization data) on anatomy and development of different species. Then, in order to perform automated cross species comparisons, homology relationships across anatomies, and comparison criteria between developmental stages, are designed. Data can be retrieved by ontology browsing, textual search, expression search, or advanced expression search. Gene expression patterns can be compared by selecting any gene family (e.g. ENSFM00500000270089). The full content of the Bgee expression database, the ontologies, the homology links between anatomical ontologies, and the relationships between developmental ontologies, are all available in the download section. More information is provided in the documentation. All data sources used in Bgee are listed on the data sources page. ... [Information of the supplier]
Cancer GEnome Mine is a public database for storing clinical information about tumor samples and microarray data, with emphasis on array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and data mining of gene copy number changes. CanGEM supports the MIAME standard and in addition, stores clinical information using standardized controlled vocabularies whenever possible. Microarray probes are re-annotated with their physical coordinates in the human genome and aCGH data is analyzed to yield gene-specific copy numbers. Users can build custom datasets by querying for specific clinical sample characteristics or copy number changes of individual genes. Aberration frequencies can be calculated for these datasets, and the data can be visualized on the human genome map with gene annotations. Furthermore, the original data files are available for more detailed analysis. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The cyclic AMP response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB) family of activators (CREB1, CREM, ATF1) functions in diverse physiological processes, including the control of cellular metabolism, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and developement an plasticity of neurons. A diverse range of signals, including cAMP, calcium, stress and mitogenic stimuli, can activate CREB and promote target gene expression. This database is dedicated to catogerize CREB target genes in a comprehensive and easy-to-search way. We have used a multi-layered approach to predict, validate and chracterize CREB target genes. For each gene, we try to provide the following information: 1. CREB binding sites on the promoters, 2. Promoter occupancy by CREB, 3. Gene activation by cAMP in tissues. The data are for humans, rats, and mice. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Open Tiger Genome Project is a public service launched by a non-profit foundation Genome Research Foundation (GRF) and TheragenEtex Inc. It is aming at preserving tiger genome information, the level 1 endangered species designated by the Korean Ministry of Environment. Genome Research Foundation is pursuing to complete the standard reference genome of Amur (Korean or Siberian) tiger by sequencing and analyzing its genome. ... [Information of the supplier]
In animals, RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of virtually all genes by binding to RNA. Recent advances in experimental and computational methods facilitate transcriptome-wide mapping of these interactions. It is thought that the combinatorial action of RBPs and miRNAs on target mRNAs form a post-transcriptional regulatory code. We provide a database that supports the quest for deciphering this regulatory code. Within doRiNA, we are systematically curating, storing and integrating binding site data for RBPs and miRNAs. Users are free to take a target (mRNA) or regulator (RBP and/or miRNA) centric view on the data. We have implemented a database framework with short query response times for complex searches (e.g. asking for all targets of a particular combination of regulators). All search results can be browsed, inspected and analyzed in conjunction with a huge selection of other genome-wide data, because our database is directly linked to a local copy of the UCSC genome browser. At the time of writing, doRiNA encompasses RBP data for the human, mouse and worm genomes. [Source: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/11/15/nar.gkr1007.full] ...
