TF-Marker: a comprehensive manually curated database for transcription factors and related markers in specific cell and tissue types in human.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) play key roles in biological processes and are usually used as cell markers. The emerging importance of TFs and related markers in identifying specific cell types in human diseases increases the need for a comprehensive collection of human TFs and related markers sets. Here, we developed the TF-Marker database (TF-Marker, http://bio.liclab.net/TF-Marker/), aiming to provide cell/tissue-specific TFs and related markers for human. By manually curating thousands of published literature, 5905 entries including information about TFs and related markers were classified into five types according to their functions: (i) TF: TFs which regulate expression of the markers; (ii) T Marker: markers which are regulated by the TF; (iii) I Marker: markers which influence the activity of TFs; (iv) TFMarker: TFs which play roles as markers and (v) TF Pmarker: TFs which play roles as potential markers. The 5905 entries of TF-Marker include 1316 TFs, 1092 T Markers, 473 I Markers, 1600 TFMarkers and 1424 TF Pmarkers, involving 383 cell types and 95 tissue types in human. TF-Marker further provides a user-friendly interface to browse, query and visualize the detailed information about TFs and related markers. We believe TF-Marker will become a valuable resource to understand the regulation patterns of different tissues and cells.

PGMD: a comprehensive manually curated pharmacogenomic database.

Project description:The PharmacoGenomic Mutation Database (PGMD) is a comprehensive manually curated pharmacogenomics database. Two major sources of PGMD data are peer-reviewed literature and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) drug labels. PGMD curators capture information on exact genomic location and sequence changes, on resulting phenotype, drugs administered, patient population, study design, disease context, statistical significance and other properties of reported pharmacogenomic variants. Variants are annotated into functional categories on the basis of their influence on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy or clinical outcome. The current release of PGMD includes over 117 000 unique pharmacogenomic observations, covering all 24 disease superclasses and nearly 1400 drugs. Over 2800 genes have associated pharmacogenomic variants, including genes in proximity to intergenic variants. PGMD is optimized for use in annotating next-generation sequencing data by providing genomic coordinates for all covered variants, including Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, haplotypes, diplotypes, Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTR), copy number variations and structural variations.

A comprehensive manually-curated compendium of bovine transcription factors.

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) are pivotal regulatory proteins that control gene expression in a context-dependent and tissue-specific manner. In contrast to human, where comprehensive curated TF collections exist, bovine TFs are only rudimentary recorded and characterized. In this article, we present a manually-curated compendium of 865 sequence-specific DNA-binding bovines TFs, which we analyzed for domain family distribution, evolutionary conservation, and tissue-specific expression. In addition, we provide a list of putative transcription cofactors derived from known interactions with the identified TFs. Since there is a general lack of knowledge concerning the regulation of gene expression in cattle, the curated list of TF should provide a basis for an improved comprehension of regulatory mechanisms that are specific to the species.

S2RSLDB: a comprehensive manually curated, internet-accessible database of the sigma-2 receptor selective ligands.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Sigma (?) receptors are accepted as a particular receptor class consisting of two subtypes: sigma-1 (?1) and sigma-2 (?2). The two receptor subtypes have specific drug actions, pharmacological profiles and molecular characteristics. The ?2 receptor is overexpressed in several tumor cell lines, and its ligands are currently under investigation for their role in tumor diagnosis and treatment. The ?2 receptor structure has not been disclosed, and researchers rely on ?2 receptor radioligand binding assay to understand the receptor's pharmacological behavior and design new lead compounds. DESCRIPTION:Here we present the sigma-2 Receptor Selective Ligands Database (S2RSLDB) a manually curated database of the ?2 receptor selective ligands containing more than 650 compounds. The database is built with chemical structure information, radioligand binding affinity data, computed physicochemical properties, and experimental radioligand binding procedures. The S2RSLDB is freely available online without account login and having a powerful search engine the user may build complex queries, sort tabulated results, generate color coded 2D and 3D graphs and download the data for additional screening. CONCLUSION:The collection here reported is extremely useful for the development of new ligands endowed of ?2 receptor affinity, selectivity, and appropriate physicochemical properties. The database will be updated yearly and in the near future, an online submission form will be available to help with keeping the database widely spread in the research community and continually updated. The database is available at http://www.researchdsf.unict.it/S2RSLDB. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT:

EnDisease: a manually curated database for enhancer-disease associations.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified thousands of genomic loci potentially associated with hundreds of complex traits in the past decade. Nevertheless, the fact that more than 90% of such disease-associated variants lie in non-coding DNA with unknown functional implications has been appealing for advanced analysis of plenty of genetic variants. Toward this goal, recent studies focusing on individual non-coding variants have revealed that complex diseases are often the consequences of erroneous interactions between enhancers and their target genes. However, such enhancer-disease associations are dispersed in a variety of independent studies, and thus far it is still difficult to carry out comprehensive downstream analysis with these experimentally supported enhancer-disease associations. To fill in this gap, we collected experimentally supported associations between complex diseases and enhancers and then developed a manually curated database called EnDisease (http://bioinfo.au.tsinghua.edu.cn/endisease/). Concretely, EnDisease documents 535 associations between 133 diseases and 454 enhancers, extracted from 199 articles. Moreover, after annotating these enhancers using 649 human and 115 mouse DNase-seq experiments, we find that cancer-related enhancers tend to be open across a large number of cell types. This database provides a user-friendly interface for browsing and searching, and it also allows users to download data freely. EnDisease has the potential to become a helpful and important resource for researchers who aim to understand the molecular mechanisms of enhancers involved in complex diseases.

CMBD: a manually curated cancer metabolic biomarker knowledge database.

Project description:The pathogenesis of cancer is influenced by interactions among genes, proteins, metabolites and other small molecules. Understanding cancer progression at the metabolic level is propitious to the visual decoding of changes in living organisms. To date, a large number of metabolic biomarkers in cancer have been measured and reported, which provide an alternative method for cancer precision diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. To systematically understand the heterogeneity of cancers, we developed the database CMBD to integrate the cancer metabolic biomarkers scattered over literatures in PubMed. At present, CMBD contains 438 manually curated relationships between 282 biomarkers and 76 cancer subtypes of 18 tissues reported in 248 literatures. Users can access the comprehensive metabolic biomarker information about cancers, references, clinical samples and their relationships from our online database. As case studies, pathway analysis was performed on the metabolic biomarkers of breast and prostate cancers, respectively. 'Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis', 'phenylalanine metabolism' and 'primary bile acid biosynthesis' were identified as playing key roles in breast cancer. 'Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism', 'citrate cycle (TCA cycle)', and 'alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism' have important functions in prostate cancer. These findings provide us with an understanding of the metabolic pathway of cancer initiation and progression. Database URL: http://www.sysbio.org.cn/CMBD/.

singleCellBase: a high-quality manually curated database of cell markers for single cell annotation across multiple species.

Project description:Annotating cells in the analysis of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data is one of the most challenging tasks that researchers are actively addressing. Manual cell annotation is generally considered the gold standard method, although it is labor intensive and independent of prior knowledge. At present, the relationship between high-quality, known marker genes and cell types is very limited, especially for a variety of species other than humans and mice. The singleCellBase is a manually curated resource of high-quality cell types and gene markers associations across multiple species. In details, it offers 9,158 entries spanning a total of 1,221 cell types and linking with 8,740 genes (cell markers), covering 464 diseases/status, and 165 types of tissues across 31 species. The singleCellBase provides a user-friendly interface to the scientific community to browse, search, download and submit records of marker genes and cell types. The resource providing ineluctable prior knowledge required by manual cell annotation, which is valuable to interpret scRNA-seq data and elucidate what cell type or cell state that a cell population represents.

dbPepNeo: a manually curated database for human tumor neoantigen peptides.

Project description:Neoantigens can function as actual antigens to facilitate tumor rejection, which play a crucial role in cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Emerging evidence revealed that neoantigens can be used to develop personalized, cancer-specific vaccines. To date, large numbers of immunogenomic peptides have been computationally predicted to be potential neoantigens. However, experimental validation remains the gold standard for potential clinical application. Experimentally validated neoantigens are rare and mostly appear scattered among scientific papers and various databases. Here, we constructed dbPepNeo, a specific database for human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) binding neoantigen peptides based on mass spectrometry (MS) validation or immunoassay in human tumors. According to the verification methods of these neoantigens, the collection of peptides was classified as 295 high confidence, 247 medium confidence and 407?794 low confidence neoantigens, respectively. This can serve as a valuable resource to aid further screening for effective neoantigens, optimize a neoantigen prediction pipeline and study T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition. Three applications of dbPepNeo are shown. In summary, this work resulted in a platform to promote the screening and confirmation of potential neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy.

piRDisease v1.0: a manually curated database for piRNA associated diseases.

Project description:In recent years, researches focusing on PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have increased rapidly. It has been revealed that piRNAs have strong association with a wide range of diseases; thus, it becomes very important to understand piRNAs' role(s) in disease diagnosis, prognosis and assessment of treatment response. We searched more than 2500 articles using keywords, such as `PIWI-interacting RNAs' and `piRNAs', and further scrutinized the articles to collect piRNAs-disease association data. These data are highly complex and heterogeneous due to various types of piRNA idnetifiers (IDs) and different reference genome versions. We put considerable efforts into removing redundancy and anomalies and thus homogenized the data. Finally, we developed the piRDisease database, which incorporates experimentally supported data for piRNAs' relationship with wide range of diseases. The piRDisease (piRDisease v1.0) is a novel, comprehensive and exclusive database resource, which provides 7939 manually curated associations of experimentally supported 4796 piRNAs involved in 28 diseases. piRDisease facilitates users by providing detailed information of the piRNA in respective disease, explored by experimental support, brief description, sequence and location information. Considering piRNAs' role(s) in wide range of diseases, it is anticipated that huge amount of data would be produced in the near future. We thus offer a submitting page, on which users or researches can contribute in to update our piRDisease database.
