DESSO-DB: A web database for sequence and shape motif analyses and identification.

ABSTRACT: Cis-regulatory motif (motif for short) identification and analyses are essential steps in detecting gene regulatory mechanisms. Deep learning (DL) models have shown substantial advances in motif prediction. In parallel, intuitive and integrative web databases are needed to make effective use of DL models and ensure easy access to the identified motifs. Here, we present DESSO-DB, a web database developed to allow efficient access to the identified motifs and diverse motif analyses. DESSO-DB provides motif prediction results and visualizations of 690 ENCODE human Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data (including 161 transcription factors (TFs) in 91 cell lines) and 1,677 human ChIP-seq data (including 547 TFs in 359 cell lines) from Cistrome DB using DESSO, which is an in-house developed DL tool for motif prediction. It also provides online motif finding and scanning functions for new ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq datasets and downloadable motif results of the above 690 DECODE datasets, 126 cancer ChIP-seq, 55 RNA Crosslinking-Immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) data. DESSO-DB is deployed on the Google Cloud Platform, providing stabilized and efficient resources freely to the public. DESSO-DB is free and available at http://cloud.osubmi.com/DESSO/.

DMINDA: an integrated web server for DNA motif identification and analyses.

Project description:DMINDA (DNA motif identification and analyses) is an integrated web server for DNA motif identification and analyses, which is accessible at http://csbl.bmb.uga.edu/DMINDA/. This web site is freely available to all users and there is no login requirement. This server provides a suite of cis-regulatory motif analysis functions on DNA sequences, which are important to elucidation of the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation: (i) de novo motif finding for a given set of promoter sequences along with statistical scores for the predicted motifs derived based on information extracted from a control set, (ii) scanning motif instances of a query motif in provided genomic sequences, (iii) motif comparison and clustering of identified motifs, and (iv) co-occurrence analyses of query motifs in given promoter sequences. The server is powered by a backend computer cluster with over 150 computing nodes, and is particularly useful for motif prediction and analyses in prokaryotic genomes. We believe that DMINDA, as a new and comprehensive web server for cis-regulatory motif finding and analyses, will benefit the genomic research community in general and prokaryotic genome researchers in particular.

SW#db: GPU-Accelerated Exact Sequence Similarity Database Search.

Project description:In recent years we have witnessed a growth in sequencing yield, the number of samples sequenced, and as a result-the growth of publicly maintained sequence databases. The increase of data present all around has put high requirements on protein similarity search algorithms with two ever-opposite goals: how to keep the running times acceptable while maintaining a high-enough level of sensitivity. The most time consuming step of similarity search are the local alignments between query and database sequences. This step is usually performed using exact local alignment algorithms such as Smith-Waterman. Due to its quadratic time complexity, alignments of a query to the whole database are usually too slow. Therefore, the majority of the protein similarity search methods prior to doing the exact local alignment apply heuristics to reduce the number of possible candidate sequences in the database. However, there is still a need for the alignment of a query sequence to a reduced database. In this paper we present the SW#db tool and a library for fast exact similarity search. Although its running times, as a standalone tool, are comparable to the running times of BLAST, it is primarily intended to be used for exact local alignment phase in which the database of sequences has already been reduced. It uses both GPU and CPU parallelization and was 4-5 times faster than SSEARCH, 6-25 times faster than CUDASW++ and more than 20 times faster than SSW at the time of writing, using multiple queries on Swiss-prot and Uniref90 databases.

PHYMYCO-DB: a curated database for analyses of fungal diversity and evolution.

Project description:BackgroundIn environmental sequencing studies, fungi can be identified based on nucleic acid sequences, using either highly variable sequences as species barcodes or conserved sequences containing a high-quality phylogenetic signal. For the latter, identification relies on phylogenetic analyses and the adoption of the phylogenetic species concept. Such analysis requires that the reference sequences are well identified and deposited in public-access databases. However, many entries in the public sequence databases are problematic in terms of quality and reliability and these data require screening to ensure correct phylogenetic interpretation.Methods and principal findingsTo facilitate phylogenetic inferences and phylogenetic assignment, we introduce a fungal sequence database. The database PHYMYCO-DB comprises fungal sequences from GenBank that have been filtered to satisfy stringent sequence quality criteria. For the first release, two widely used molecular taxonomic markers were chosen: the nuclear SSU rRNA and EF1-? gene sequences. Following the automatic extraction and filtration, a manual curation is performed to remove problematic sequences while preserving relevant sequences useful for phylogenetic studies. As a result of curation, ~20% of the automatically filtered sequences have been removed from the database. To demonstrate how PHYMYCO-DB can be employed, we test a set of environmental Chytridiomycota sequences obtained from deep sea samples.ConclusionPHYMYCO-DB offers the tools necessary to: (i) extract high quality fungal sequences for each of the 5 fungal phyla, at all taxonomic levels, (ii) extract already performed alignments, to act as 'reference alignments', (iii) launch alignments of personal sequences along with stored data. A total of 9120 SSU rRNA and 672 EF1-? high-quality fungal sequences are now available. The PHYMYCO-DB is accessible through the URL http://phymycodb.genouest.org/.

iLIR database: A web resource for LIR motif-containing proteins in eukaryotes.

Project description:Atg8-family proteins are the best-studied proteins of the core autophagic machinery. They are essential for the elongation and closure of the phagophore into a proper autophagosome. Moreover, Atg8-family proteins are associated with the phagophore from the initiation of the autophagic process to, or just prior to, the fusion between autophagosomes with lysosomes. In addition to their implication in autophagosome biogenesis, they are crucial for selective autophagy through their ability to interact with selective autophagy receptor proteins necessary for the specific targeting of substrates for autophagic degradation. In the past few years it has been revealed that Atg8-interacting proteins include not only receptors but also components of the core autophagic machinery, proteins associated with vesicles and their transport, and specific proteins that are selectively degraded by autophagy. Atg8-interacting proteins contain a short linear LC3-interacting region/LC3 recognition sequence/Atg8-interacting motif (LIR/LRS/AIM) motif which is responsible for their interaction with Atg8-family proteins. These proteins are referred to as LIR-containing proteins (LIRCPs). So far, many experimental efforts have been carried out to identify new LIRCPs, leading to the characterization of some of them in the past 10 years. Given the need for the identification of LIRCPs in various organisms, we developed the iLIR database ( https://ilir.warwick.ac.uk ) as a freely available web resource, listing all the putative canonical LIRCPs identified in silico in the proteomes of 8 model organisms using the iLIR server, combined with a Gene Ontology (GO) term analysis. Additionally, a curated text-mining analysis of the literature permitted us to identify novel putative LICRPs in mammals that have not previously been associated with autophagy.

BRIO: a web server for RNA sequence and structure motif scan.

Project description:The interaction between RNA and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) has a key role in the regulation of gene expression, in RNA stability, and in many other biological processes. RBPs accomplish these functions by binding target RNA molecules through specific sequence and structure motifs. The identification of these binding motifs is therefore fundamental to improve our knowledge of the cellular processes and how they are regulated. Here, we present BRIO (BEAM RNA Interaction mOtifs), a new web server designed for the identification of sequence and structure RNA-binding motifs in one or more RNA molecules of interest. BRIO enables the user to scan over 2508 sequence motifs and 2296 secondary structure motifs identified in Homo sapiens and Mus musculus, in three different types of experiments (PAR-CLIP, eCLIP, HITS). The motifs are associated with the binding of 186 RBPs and 69 protein domains. The web server is freely available at http://brio.bio.uniroma2.it.

TFBSshape: an expanded motif database for DNA shape features of transcription factor binding sites.

Project description:TFBSshape (https://tfbsshape.usc.edu) is a motif database for analyzing structural profiles of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). The main rationale for this database is to be able to derive mechanistic insights in protein-DNA readout modes from sequencing data without available structures. We extended the quantity and dimensionality of TFBSshape, from mostly in vitro to in vivo binding and from unmethylated to methylated DNA. This new release of TFBSshape improves its functionality and launches a responsive and user-friendly web interface for easy access to the data. The current expansion includes new entries from the most recent collections of transcription factors (TFs) from the JASPAR and UniPROBE databases, methylated TFBSs derived from in vitro high-throughput EpiSELEX-seq binding assays and in vivo methylated TFBSs from the MeDReaders database. TFBSshape content has increased to 2428 structural profiles for 1900 TFs from 39 different species. The structural profiles for each TFBS entry now include 13 shape features and minor groove electrostatic potential for standard DNA and four shape features for methylated DNA. We improved the flexibility and accuracy for the shape-based alignment of TFBSs and designed new tools to compare methylated and unmethylated structural profiles of TFs and methods to derive DNA shape-preserving nucleotide mutations in TFBSs.

A De Novo Shape Motif Discovery Algorithm Reveals Preferences of Transcription Factors for DNA Shape Beyond Sequence Motifs.

Project description:DNA shape adds specificity to sequence motifs but has not been explored systematically outside this context. We hypothesized that DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) preferentially occupy DNA with specific structures ("shape motifs") regardless of whether or not these correspond to high information content sequence motifs. We present ShapeMF, a Gibbs sampling algorithm that identifies de novo shape motifs. Using binding data from hundreds of in vivo and in vitro experiments, we show that most DBPs have shape motifs and can occupy these in the absence of sequence motifs. This "shape-only binding" is common for many DBPs and in regions co-bound by multiple DBPs. When shape and sequence motifs co-occur, they can be overlapping, flanking, or separated by consistent spacing. Finally, DBPs within the same protein family have different shape motifs, explaining their distinct genome-wide occupancy despite having similar sequence motifs. These results suggest that shape motifs not only complement sequence motifs but also facilitate recognition of DNA beyond conventionally defined sequence motifs.

The BaMM web server for de-novo motif discovery and regulatory sequence analysis.

Project description:The BaMM web server offers four tools: (i) de-novo discovery of enriched motifs in a set of nucleotide sequences, (ii) scanning a set of nucleotide sequences with motifs to find motif occurrences, (iii) searching with an input motif for similar motifs in our BaMM database with motifs for >1000 transcription factors, trained from the GTRD ChIP-seq database and (iv) browsing and keyword searching the motif database. In contrast to most other servers, we represent sequence motifs not by position weight matrices (PWMs) but by Bayesian Markov Models (BaMMs) of order 4, which we showed previously to perform substantially better in ROC analyses than PWMs or first order models. To address the inadequacy of P- and E-values as measures of motif quality, we introduce the AvRec score, the average recall over the TP-to-FP ratio between 1 and 100. The BaMM server is freely accessible without registration at https://bammmotif.mpibpc.mpg.de.
