LRG sequence format has been designed for the specific purpose of gene variant reporting. LRGs have fixed sequences that are independent of the genome so that they provide a stable framework for reporting variants. The data base provides a single-file record containing a uniquely stable reference DNA sequence along with all relevant transcript and protein sequences essential to the description of gene variants.

WashU Human Epigenome Browser allows: Epigenome
The browser currently hosts Human (and other species) Epigenome Atlas data produced by the Roadmap Epigenomics project,but lets users diverge from the strict genome-centric view of the UCSC browser to, for instance, view all genes (or promoters, or 3’ UTRs) in a given pathway side by side. “You can do lots of Google Maps-style operations, and you can look at your data in the context of their metadata.

The Connectivity Map uses computer algorithms and genome-wide expression data to explore the connection between diseases, genes, and drugs. Cmap is a collection of genome-wide transcriptional expression data from cultured human cells treated with bioactive small molecules and simple pattern-matching algorithms that together enable the discovery of functional connections between drugs, genes and diseases through the transitory feature of common gene-expression changes. The aim of theConnectivity Map project is to provide a systematic solution for the discovery of the type of functional connections between drugs, genes and diseases. Registration required.

International Knockout Mouse Consortium
Category: Laboratory animals
The International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) is a scientific endeavour to produce a collection of mouse lines, each lacking a protein-coding gene, using a combination of gene trapping and gene targeting in C57BL/6 mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells.(M Ringwald, Nucleic Acid Res 39, D849, 2011). Registration not required.

The IMPC envisages a ten year programme to undertake a broad-based, systematic genome-wide phenotyping project of knockout mice generated from the embryonic stem cell mutant resources developed by the International Knock-out Mouse Consortium (IKMC). It will produce knockout animals for each gene and analyze the phenotypic changes. Registration not required.

HaploReg is a tool for exploring annotations of the noncoding genome at variants on haplotype blocks, such as candidate regulatory SNPs at disease-associated loci. It brings together data from chromatin-mapping and comparative-genomics studies. Researchers can enter common variants and see whether they fall in a highly conserved region, disrupt a regulatory motif or are associated with a regulatory element in a particular cell type. It provides the same information for common variants that tend to be inherited along with the ones entered. Registration not required.
