WEGO 2.0: a web tool for analyzing and plotting GO annotations, 2018 update.

ABSTRACT: WEGO (Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot), created in 2006, is a simple but useful tool for visualizing, comparing and plotting GO (Gene Ontology) annotation results. Owing largely to the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing and the increasing acceptance of GO, WEGO has benefitted from outstanding performance regarding the number of users and citations in recent years, which motivated us to update to version 2.0. WEGO uses the GO annotation results as input. Based on GO's standardized DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) structured vocabulary system, the number of genes corresponding to each GO ID is calculated and shown in a graphical format. WEGO 2.0 updates have targeted four aspects, aiming to provide a more efficient and up-to-date approach for comparative genomic analyses. First, the number of input files, previously limited to three, is now unlimited, allowing WEGO to analyze multiple datasets. Also added in this version are the reference datasets of nine model species that can be adopted as baselines in genomic comparative analyses. Furthermore, in the analyzing processes each Chi-square test is carried out for multiple datasets instead of every two samples. At last, WEGO 2.0 provides an additional output graph along with the traditional WEGO histogram, displaying the sorted P-values of GO terms and indicating their significant differences. At the same time, WEGO 2.0 features an entirely new user interface. WEGO is available for free at http://wego.genomics.org.cn.

WEGO: a web tool for plotting GO annotations.

Project description:Unified, structured vocabularies and classifications freely provided by the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium are widely accepted in most of the large scale gene annotation projects. Consequently, many tools have been created for use with the GO ontologies. WEGO (Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot) is a simple but useful tool for visualizing, comparing and plotting GO annotation results. Different from other commercial software for creating chart, WEGO is designed to deal with the directed acyclic graph structure of GO to facilitate histogram creation of GO annotation results. WEGO has been used widely in many important biological research projects, such as the rice genome project and the silkworm genome project. It has become one of the daily tools for downstream gene annotation analysis, especially when performing comparative genomics tasks. WEGO, along with the two other tools, namely External to GO Query and GO Archive Query, are freely available for all users at http://wego.genomics.org.cn. There are two available mirror sites at http://wego2.genomics.org.cn and http://wego.genomics.com.cn. Any suggestions are welcome at wego@genomics.org.cn.

MOLEonline: a web-based tool for analyzing channels, tunnels and pores (2018 update).

Project description:MOLEonline is an interactive, web-based application for the detection and characterization of channels (pores and tunnels) within biomacromolecular structures. The updated version of MOLEonline overcomes limitations of the previous version by incorporating the recently developed LiteMol Viewer visualization engine and providing a simple, fully interactive user experience. The application enables two modes of calculation: one is dedicated to the analysis of channels while the other was specifically designed for transmembrane pores. As the application can use both PDB and mmCIF formats, it can be leveraged to analyze a wide spectrum of biomacromolecular structures, e.g. stemming from NMR, X-ray and cryo-EM techniques. The tool is interconnected with other bioinformatics tools (e.g., PDBe, CSA, ChannelsDB, OPM, UniProt) to help both setup and the analysis of acquired results. MOLEonline provides unprecedented analytics for the detection and structural characterization of channels, as well as information about their numerous physicochemical features. Here we present the application of MOLEonline for structural analyses of ?-hemolysin and transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 (TRMP1) pores. The MOLEonline application is freely available via the Internet at https://mole.upol.cz.

HMMER web server: 2018 update.

Project description:The HMMER webserver [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/hmmer] is a free-to-use service which provides fast searches against widely used sequence databases and profile hidden Markov model (HMM) libraries using the HMMER software suite (http://hmmer.org). The results of a sequence search may be summarized in a number of ways, allowing users to view and filter the significant hits by domain architecture or taxonomy. For large scale usage, we provide an application programmatic interface (API) which has been expanded in scope, such that all result presentations are available via both HTML and API. Furthermore, we have refactored our JavaScript visualization library to provide standalone components for different result representations. These consume the aforementioned API and can be integrated into third-party websites. The range of databases that can be searched against has been expanded, adding four sequence datasets (12 in total) and one profile HMM library (6 in total). To help users explore the biological context of their results, and to discover new data resources, search results are now supplemented with cross references to other EMBL-EBI databases.

iUUCD 2.0: an update with rich annotations for ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like conjugations.

Project description:Here, we described the updated database iUUCD 2.0 (http://iuucd.biocuckoo.org/) for ubiquitin-activating enzymes (E1s), ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s), ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s), deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), ubiquitin/ubiquitin-like binding domains (UBDs) and ubiquitin-like domains (ULDs), which act as key regulators in modulating ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UB/UBL) conjugations. In total, iUUCD 2.0 contained 136 512 UB/UBL regulators, including 1230 E1s, 5636 E2s, 93 343 E3s, 9548 DUBs, 30 173 UBDs and 11 099 ULDs in 148 eukaryotic species. In particular, we provided rich annotations for regulators of eight model organisms, especially in humans, by compiling and integrating the knowledge from nearly 70 widely used public databases that cover cancer mutations, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mRNA expression, DNA and RNA elements, protein-protein interactions, protein 3D structures, disease-associated information, drug-target relations, post-translational modifications, DNA methylation and protein expression/proteomics. Compared with our previously developed UUCD 1.0 (∼0.41 GB), iUUCD 2.0 has a size of ∼32.1 GB of data with a >75-fold increase in data volume. We anticipate that iUUCD 2.0 can be a more useful resource for further study of UB/UBL conjugations.

ResA3: a web tool for resampling analysis of arbitrary annotations.

Project description:Resampling algorithms provide an empirical, non-parametric approach to determine the statistical significance of annotations in different experimental settings. ResA(3) (Resampling Analysis of Arbitrary Annotations, short: ResA) is a novel tool to facilitate the analysis of enrichment and regulation of annotations deposited in various online resources such as KEGG, Gene Ontology and Pfam or any kind of classification. Results are presented in readily accessible navigable table views together with relevant information for statistical inference. The tool is able to analyze multiple types of annotations in a single run and includes a Gene Ontology annotation feature. We successfully tested ResA using a dataset obtained by measuring incorporation rates of stable isotopes into proteins in intact animals. ResA complements existing tools and will help to evaluate the increasing number of large-scale transcriptomics and proteomics datasets (resa.mpi-bn.mpg.de).

Teaching Web 2.0 technologies using Web 2.0 technologies.

Project description:ObjectivesThe research evaluated participant satisfaction with the content and format of the "Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools" course and measured the impact of the course on participants' self-evaluated knowledge of Web 2.0 tools.MethodsThe "Web 2.0 101" online course was based loosely on the Learning 2.0 model. Content was provided through a course blog and covered a wide range of Web 2.0 tools. All Medical Library Association members were invited to participate. Participants were asked to complete a post-course survey. Respondents who completed the entire course or who completed part of the course self-evaluated their knowledge of nine social software tools and concepts prior to and after the course using a Likert scale. Additional qualitative information about course strengths and weaknesses was also gathered.ResultsRespondents' self-ratings showed a significant change in perceived knowledge for each tool, using a matched pair Wilcoxon signed rank analysis (P<0.0001 for each tool/concept). Overall satisfaction with the course appeared high. Hands-on exercises were the most frequently identified strength of the course; the length and time-consuming nature of the course were considered weaknesses by some.ConclusionLearning 2.0-style courses, though demanding time and self-motivation from participants, can increase knowledge of Web 2.0 tools.

VariantAlert: A web-based tool to notify updates in genetic variant annotations.

Project description:The reinterpretation of variants based on updated annotations is part of the routine work of research laboratories: the more data is collected about a specific variant, the higher the probability to reinterpret its classification. To support this task, we developed VariantAlert, a web-based tool to help researchers and clinicians to be constantly informed about changes in variant annotations extracted from multiple sources. VariantAlert provides daily re-annotation of variants using external resources accessed through application programming interface, such as MyVariant.info providing in turn links to gnomAD, catalogue of somatic mutations In cancer (COSMIC), ClinVar, CIViC, and many others. Researchers and clinicians can submit one or more lists of variants. If a change is detected for the annotation of a variant due to the upgrade of the underlying resource (e.g., change in gnomAD allele frequency, presence in COSMIC database, change in ClinVar classification) the user is notified by email and updated annotations are stored on the web-site. VariantAlert is freely available at https://github.com/next-crs4/VariantAlert. Installation and deployment are easy thanks to the use of the Docker platform. A Makefile allows you to easily bootstrap VariantAlert. VariantAlert is also available as a web service at https://variant-alert.crs4.it/.
