bioDBnet
http://biodbnet.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/
biological DataBase network is an application integrating a
vast number of biological databases including Gene, UniProt,
Ensembl, GO, Affy, RefSeq etc. The databases are created
by downloading data from various public resources. They are
formatted and maintained in a relational structure at the
Advanced Biomedical Computing Center.
In the current release of bioDBnet there are 179 distinct
nodes and 626 edges. Brief notes on what bioDBnet
currently offers
db2db handles all the conversions from one database
identifier to another.
dbWalk lets you walk through your own bioDBnet path.
dbReport reports every possible information that it can get for
a particular identifier.
dbFind finds the type of identifiers and converts all into a
chosen database identifier type
bioDBnet also offers supporting analysis tools to the main
functions
orgTaxon for finding the taxon ID of an organism
goTree to look at the parents of any go accession
chrView for visualising data on chromosomes
bioTaxon for finding genes, proteins or GO accessions based
on search terms

Clinical Trials Magnifier
http://www.clinicalresearchclinic.com/
The WHO Trials Registry database was downloaded on
September 3, 2010 including a total of 118,331 trials.
The vast majority (n=99,840, 84.4%) of the studies are clinical
trials. About one-third of the trials registered are industrysponsored
and two-thirds are non-industry sponsored trials.
Twenty percent of all non-industry sponsored trials originate
from trial registries in Australia & New Zealand, UK and
Japan. In contrast, multi-national industry-sponsored trials
are predominantly (96%) registered in the US trial registry.
The US trial registry is recommended as the registry of
choice for searching for industry-sponsored trials. The US
trial registry also offers the user a much more powerful
search engine than the WHO Trials Registry.
Gene Trail
http://genetrail.bioinf.uni-sb.de/index.php
We present a comprehensive and efficient gene set analysis
tool, called GeneTrail that offers a rich functionality and is
easy to use. Our web-based application facilitates the
statistical evaluation of high-throughput genomic or
proteomic data sets with respect to enrichment of functional
categories. GeneTrail covers a wide variety of biological
categories and pathways, among others KEGG, TRANSPATH,
TRANSFAC, and GO. Our web server provides two common
statistical approaches, “Over-Representation Analysis” (ORA)
comparing a reference set of genes to a test set, and “Gene
Set Enrichment Analysis” (GSEA) scoring sorted lists of
genes. Besides other newly developed features, GeneTrail’s
statistics module includes a novel dynamic-programming
algorithm that improves the p-value computation of GSEA
methods considerably.
