Useful links to data bases and analysis software

The Human Immunology Portal has links to a wide array of tools and databases (http://www.humanimmunologyportal.com/hiptools/)

1. MHC epitopes data bases and epitope prediction software  

http://www.iedb.org/  The IEDB hosts tools to assist in the prediction and analysis of B cell and T cell epitopes (has exhaustive list of tools)

For a list of T cell epitopes in cancer, see also  http://cancerimmunity.org/peptide/

http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHCIIpan/: NetMHCIIpan 3.0 server predicts binding of peptides to MHC class II molecules

http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHCII/  NetMHCII 2.2 server predicts binding of peptides to HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, HLA-DP and mouse MHC class II alleles using articial neuron networks.

Predictions can be obtained for 14 HLA-DR alleles covering the 9 HLA-DR supertypes, six HLA-DQ, six HLA-DP, and two mouse H2 class II alleles.

Class I predictions. ANNs have been trained for 78 different Human MHC (HLA) alleles representing all 12 HLA A and B Supertypes. Furthermore 41 animal (Monkey, Cattle, Pig, and Mouse) allele predictions are available.

2. Flow cytometry Resources

Cytobank: http://cytobank.org/resources.html

They have some publically available flow and Cytof datasets that may be usefulfor people to peruse:

Mass Cytometry Resource http://fluidigm.cytobank.org/ The newly redesigned Fluidigm Cytobank resource provides mass cytometry researchers with access to demo datasets, protocols, analyses, and featured articles discussing mass cytometry topics.

Nolan Lab | Signaling-Based (Fluorescence & Mass) Cytometry Resource: http://cytobank.org/nolanlab/ This resource was developed to facilitate dissemination of protocols and materials used in the lab as well as provide access to published articles linked to the underlying data and analysis via Cytobank Reports.

BD FACSelect Intracellular Flow Cytometry Resource http://cytobank.org/facselect/ BD FACSelect Intracellular Flow Cytometry Resource will help you navigate buffer choices to select theright combination for intracellular and surface marker experiments.

3. Microarray data sets 

Interferome  http://interferome.its.monash.edu.au/interferome/home.jspx  Data base of IFN regulated genes

4.  Disease/Gene association tools

BiERapp http://bierapp.babelomics.org/

gene/variant prioritization tool of the BIER (the Team of BioInformatic for Rare Diseases). This interactive tool allows finding genes affected by deleterious variants that segregate along family pedigrees, case-controls or sporadic samples.

Manteia: http://manteia.igbmc.fr a predictive data mining system for vertebrate genes and its applications to human genetic diseases

5. Analysis tools/network analysis for gene expression data

NetVenn  http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/NetVenn/

NetVenn is a network-based web platform for the comparison and analysis of gene lists by combining Venn diagram and gene set enrichment. The tool can integrate gene sets with differentially expressed gene on interaction network. Power graph analysis is available for the gene lists network.

Network analyst:   http://www.networkanalyst.ca/NetworkAnalyst/

Network analyst is designed to support integrative analysis of gene expression data through statistical, visual and network-based approaches: Data inputs: one or more gene/protein lists with optional fold changes; one or more gene expression tables from microarray or RNAseq experiments. Statistical analysis: for single data - paired comparisons, time series, common reference, and nested comparisons; for integrating multiple data sets - p values, fold changes, effect sizes, vote counts, and direct merge.

6. Chip-Seq and transcription factor data bases and analysis tools 

BloodChIP: http://www.med.unsw.edu.au/CRCWeb.nsf/page/BloodChIPa database of comparative genome- wide transcription factor binding profiles in human blood cells

CR Cistrome: http://cistrome.org/Cistrome/Cistrome_Project.html

a ChIP-Seq database for chromatin regulators and histone modification linkages in human and mouse

7. CAS/CRISPR TOOLS

CHOP CHOP  http://chopchop.cbu.uib.no CHOPCHOP is a web tool for selecting the optimum target sites for CRISPR/Cas9- or TALEN-directed mutagenesis.

Addgene  http://www.addgene.org/CRISPR/guide/  - quick guide, plasmids, and additional resources

Zhang lab  http://crispr.mit.edu  Identifies gRNA target sequences from an input sequence and checks for off-target binding. Currently supports: Drosophila, Arabidopsis, zebrafish, C. elegans, mouse, human, rat, rabbit, pig, possum, chicken, dog, mosquito, and stickleback

8. siRNA target prediction

TriplexRNA http://www.sbi.uni-rostock.de/triplexrna/index.html

A data base of cooperating miRNAs/ The workflow integrates methods of miRNA target prediction; triplex structure analysis; molecular dynamics simulations and mathematical modeling for a reliable prediction of functional RNA triplexes and target repression efficiency.

9. Other

topPTM:  http://topptm.cse.yzu.edu.tw/  A data based of experimentally verified post translational modifications

LenVarDB: http://caps.ncbs.res.in/lenvardb/ Database of length variant protein domains

Metacyc: http://metacyc.org/a database of experimentally elucidated metabolic pathways from all domains of life
