APPRIS WebServer and WebServices.

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces the APPRIS WebServer (http://appris.bioinfo.cnio.es) and WebServices (http://apprisws.bioinfo.cnio.es). Both the web servers and the web services are based around the APPRIS Database, a database that presently houses annotations of splice isoforms for five different vertebrate genomes. The APPRIS WebServer and WebServices provide access to the computational methods implemented in the APPRIS Database, while the APPRIS WebServices also allows retrieval of the annotations. The APPRIS WebServer and WebServices annotate splice isoforms with protein structural and functional features, and with data from cross-species alignments. In addition they can use the annotations of structure, function and conservation to select a single reference isoform for each protein-coding gene (the principal protein isoform). APPRIS principal isoforms have been shown to agree overwhelmingly with the main protein isoform detected in proteomics experiments. The APPRIS WebServer allows for the annotation of splice isoforms for individual genes, and provides a range of visual representations and tools to allow researchers to identify the likely effect of splicing events. The APPRIS WebServices permit users to generate annotations automatically in high throughput mode and to interrogate the annotations in the APPRIS Database. The APPRIS WebServices have been implemented using REST architecture to be flexible, modular and automatic.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Identification of drug-like molecules is one of the major challenges in the field of drug discovery. Existing approach like Lipinski rule of 5 (Ro5), Operea have their own limitations. Thus, there is a need to develop computational method that can predict drug-likeness of a molecule with precision. In addition, there is a need to develop algorithm for screening chemical library for their drug-like properties. RESULTS: In this study, we have used 1347 approved and 3206 experimental drugs for developing a knowledge-based computational model for predicting drug-likeness of a molecule. We have used freely available PaDEL software for computing molecular fingerprints/descriptors of the molecules for developing prediction models. Weka software has been used for feature selection in order to identify the best fingerprints. We have developed various classification models using different types of fingerprints like Estate, PubChem, Extended, FingerPrinter, MACCS keys, GraphsOnlyFP, SubstructureFP, Substructure FPCount, Klekota-RothFP, Klekota-Roth FPCount. It was observed that the models developed using MACCS keys based fingerprints, discriminated approved and experimental drugs with higher precision. Our model based on one hundred fifty nine MACCS keys predicted drug-likeness of the molecules with 89.96% accuracy along with 0.77 MCC. Our analysis indicated that MACCS keys (ISIS keys) 112, 122, 144, and 150 were highly prevalent in the approved drugs. The screening of ZINC (drug-like) and ChEMBL databases showed that around 78.33% and 72.43% of the compounds present in these databases had drug-like potential. CONCLUSION: It was apparent from above study that the binary fingerprints could be used to discriminate approved and experimental drugs with high accuracy. In order to facilitate researchers working in the field of drug discovery, we have developed a webserver for predicting, designing, and screening novel drug-like molecules (http://crdd.osdd.net/oscadd/drugmint/).

Project description:Reproducible and robust data on antibody repertoires are invaluable for basic and applied immunology. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of antibody variable regions has emerged as a powerful tool in systems immunology, providing quantitative molecular information on antibody polyclonal composition. However, major computational challenges exist when analyzing antibody sequences, from error handling to hypermutation profiles and clonal expansion analyses. In this work, we developed the ASAP (A webserver for Immunoglobulin-Seq Analysis Pipeline) webserver (https://asap.tau.ac.il). The input to ASAP is a paired-end sequence dataset from one or more replicates, with or without unique molecular identifiers. These datasets can be derived from NGS of human or murine antibody variable regions. ASAP first filters and annotates the sequence reads using public or user-provided germline sequence information. The ASAP webserver next performs various calculations, including somatic hypermutation level, CDR3 lengths, V(D)J family assignments, and V(D)J combination distribution. These analyses are repeated for each replicate. ASAP provides additional information by analyzing the commonalities and differences between the repeats ("joint" analysis). For example, ASAP examines the shared variable regions and their frequency in each replicate to determine which sequences are less likely to be a result of a sample preparation derived and/or sequencing errors. Moreover, ASAP clusters the data to clones and reports the identity and prevalence of top ranking clones (clonal expansion analysis). ASAP further provides the distribution of synonymous and non-synonymous mutations within the V genes somatic hypermutations. Finally, ASAP provides means to process the data for proteomic analysis of serum/secreted antibodies by generating a variable region database for liquid chromatography high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) interpretation. ASAP is user-friendly, free, and open to all users, with no login requirement. ASAP is applicable for researchers interested in basic questions related to B cell development and differentiation, as well as applied researchers who are interested in vaccine development and monoclonal antibody engineering. By virtue of its user-friendliness, ASAP opens the antibody analysis field to non-expert users who seek to boost their research with immune repertoire analysis.
