EQuilibrator 3.0: a database solution for thermodynamic constant estimation.

ABSTRACT: eQuilibrator (equilibrator.weizmann.ac.il) is a database of biochemical equilibrium constants and Gibbs free energies, originally designed as a web-based interface. While the website now counts around 1,000 distinct monthly users, its design could not accommodate larger compound databases and it lacked a scalable Application Programming Interface (API) for integration into other tools developed by the systems biology community. Here, we report on the recent updates to the database as well as the addition of a new Python-based interface to eQuilibrator that adds many new features such as a 100-fold larger compound database, the ability to add novel compounds, improvements in speed and memory use, and correction for Mg2+ ion concentrations. Moreover, the new interface can compute the covariance matrix of the uncertainty between estimates, for which we show the advantages and describe the application in metabolic modelling. We foresee that these improvements will make thermodynamic modelling more accessible and facilitate the integration of eQuilibrator into other software platforms.

ppdb: plant promoter database version 3.0.

Project description:ppdb (http://ppdb.agr.gifu-u.ac.jp) is a plant promoter database that provides information on transcription start sites (TSSs), core promoter structure (TATA boxes, Initiators, Y Patches, GA and CA elements) and regulatory element groups (REGs) as putative and comprehensive transcriptional regulatory elements. Since the last report in this journal, the database has been updated in three areas to version 3.0. First, new genomes have been included in the database, and now ppdb provides information on Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, Physcomitrella patens and poplar. Second, new TSS tag data (34 million) from A. thaliana, determined by a high throughput sequencer, has been added to give a ?200-fold increase in TSS data compared with version 1.0. This results in a much higher coverage of ?27,000 A. thaliana genes and finer positioning of promoters even for genes with low expression levels. Third, microarray data-based predictions have been appended as REG annotations which inform their putative physiological roles.

FunCoup 3.0: database of genome-wide functional coupling networks.

Project description:We present an update of the FunCoup database (http://FunCoup.sbc.su.se) of functional couplings, or functional associations, between genes and gene products. Identifying these functional couplings is an important step in the understanding of higher level mechanisms performed by complex cellular processes. FunCoup distinguishes between four classes of couplings: participation in the same signaling cascade, participation in the same metabolic process, co-membership in a protein complex and physical interaction. For each of these four classes, several types of experimental and statistical evidence are combined by Bayesian integration to predict genome-wide functional coupling networks. The FunCoup framework has been completely re-implemented to allow for more frequent future updates. It contains many improvements, such as a regularization procedure to automatically downweight redundant evidences and a novel method to incorporate phylogenetic profile similarity. Several datasets have been updated and new data have been added in FunCoup 3.0. Furthermore, we have developed a new Web site, which provides powerful tools to explore the predicted networks and to retrieve detailed information about the data underlying each prediction.

Thermodynamic synthesis of solution processable ladder polymers.

Project description:The synthesis of a carbazole-derived, well-defined ladder polymer was achieved under thermodynamic control by employing reversible ring-closing olefin metathesis. This unique approach featured mild conditions and excellent efficiency, affording the ladder polymer backbone with minimum levels of unreacted defects. Rigorous NMR analysis on a 13C isotope-enriched product revealed that the main-chain contained less than 1% of unreacted precursory vinyl groups. The rigid conformation of the ladder-type backbone was confirmed by photophysical analysis, while the extended rod-like structure was visualized under scanning tunneling microscope. Excellent solubility of this polymer in common organic solvents allowed for feasible processing of thin films using solution-casting techniques. Atomic force microscopy and grazing incident X-ray scattering revealed a uniform and amorphous morphology of these films, in sharp contrast to the polycrystalline thin films of its small molecular counterpart.

DGIdb 3.0: a redesign and expansion of the drug-gene interaction database.

Project description:The drug-gene interaction database (DGIdb, www.dgidb.org) consolidates, organizes and presents drug-gene interactions and gene druggability information from papers, databases and web resources. DGIdb normalizes content from 30 disparate sources and allows for user-friendly advanced browsing, searching and filtering for ease of access through an intuitive web user interface, application programming interface (API) and public cloud-based server image. DGIdb v3.0 represents a major update of the database. Nine of the previously included 24 sources were updated. Six new resources were added, bringing the total number of sources to 30. These updates and additions of sources have cumulatively resulted in 56 309 interaction claims. This has also substantially expanded the comprehensive catalogue of druggable genes and anti-neoplastic drug-gene interactions included in the DGIdb. Along with these content updates, v3.0 has received a major overhaul of its codebase, including an updated user interface, preset interaction search filters, consolidation of interaction information into interaction groups, greatly improved search response times and upgrading the underlying web application framework. In addition, the expanded API features new endpoints which allow users to extract more detailed information about queried drugs, genes and drug-gene interactions, including listings of PubMed IDs, interaction type and other interaction metadata.

MethBank 3.0: a database of DNA methylomes across a variety of species.

Project description:MethBank (http://bigd.big.ac.cn/methbank) is a database that integrates high-quality DNA methylomes across a variety of species and provides an interactive browser for visualization of methylation data. Here, we present an updated implementation of MethBank (version 3.0) by incorporating more DNA methylomes from multiple species and equipping with more enhanced functionalities for data annotation and more friendly web interfaces for data presentation, search and visualization. MethBank 3.0 features large-scale integration of high-quality methylomes, involving 34 consensus reference methylomes derived from a large number of human samples, 336 single-base resolution methylomes from different developmental stages and/or tissues of five plants, and 18 single-base resolution methylomes from gametes and early embryos at multiple stages of two animals. Additionally, it is enhanced by improving the functionalities for data annotation, which accordingly enables systematic identification of methylation sites closely associated with age, sites with constant methylation levels across different ages, differentially methylated promoters, age-specific differentially methylated cytosines/regions, and methylated CpG islands. Moreover, MethBank provides tools to estimate human methylation age online and to identify differentially methylated promoters, respectively. Taken together, MethBank is upgraded with significant improvements and advances over the previous version, which is of great help for deciphering DNA methylation regulatory mechanisms for epigenetic studies.

Analysis of the "thermodynamic information content" of a Homo sapiens structural database reveals hierarchical thermodynamic organization.

Project description:Classification of the amounts and types of lower order structural elements in proteins is a prerequisite to effective comparisons between protein folds. In an effort to provide an additional vehicle for fold comparison, we present an alternative classification scheme whereby protein folds are represented in statistical thermodynamic terms in such a way as to illuminate the energetic building blocks within protein structures. The thermodynamic relationship is examined between amino acid sequences and the conformational ensembles for a database of 159 Homo sapiens protein structures ranging from 50 to 250 amino acids. Using hierarchical clustering, it is shown through fold-recognition experiments that (1) eight thermodynamic environmental descriptors sufficiently accounts for the energetic variation within the native state ensembles of the H. sapiens structural database, (2) an amino acid library of only six residue types is sufficient to encode >90% of the thermodynamic information required for fold specificity in the entire database, and (3) structural resolution of the statistically derived environments reveals sequential cooperative segments throughout the protein, which are independent of secondary structure. As the first level of thermodynamic organization in proteins, these segments represent the thermodynamic counterpart to secondary structure.

MiST 3.0: an updated microbial signal transduction database with an emphasis on chemosensory systems.

Project description:Bacteria and archaea employ dedicated signal transduction systems that modulate gene expression, second-messenger turnover, quorum sensing, biofilm formation, motility, host-pathogen and beneficial interactions. The updated MiST database provides a comprehensive classification of microbial signal transduction systems. This update is a result of a substantial scaling to accommodate constantly growing microbial genomic data. More than 125 000 genomes, 516 million genes and almost 100 million unique protein sequences are currently stored in the database. For each bacterial and archaeal genome, MiST 3.0 provides a complete signal transduction profile, thus facilitating theoretical and experimental studies on signal transduction and gene regulation. New software infrastructure and distributed pipeline implemented in MiST 3.0 enable regular genome updates based on the NCBI RefSeq database. A novel MiST feature is the integration of unique profile HMMs to link complex chemosensory systems with corresponding chemoreceptors in bacterial and archaeal genomes. The data can be explored online or via RESTful API (freely available at https://mistdb.com).
