ToppGene Suite

Entrez Gene

A database for gene annotations

European Molecular Biology Laboratory

EMBL is at the forefront of innovation in life sciences research, technology development and transfer, and provides outstanding training and services to the scientific community in its member states. This publicly-funded non-profit institute is housed at five sites in Europe whose expertise covers the whole spectrum of molecular biology.

Gene Ontology

The Gene Ontology project provides a controlled vocabulary to describe gene and gene product attributes in any organism.

Human Phenotype Ontology

Human Phenotype Ontology is a controlled vocabulary of terms - an ontology - for 8,000 abnormalities commonly associated with human monogenic diseases, and manually annotated entries in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database with these terms, providing a community resource for cross-disease phenotypic comparisons.

Mammalian Phenotype

MGI-Mouse Genome Informatics. Mouse Informatics from Jackson Laboratories.

Biomolecular Interaction Network Database

BIND is a database designed to store full descriptions of interactions, molecular complexes and pathways. This database is also used for obtaining protein-protein interactions.

The Human Protein Reference Database

HPRD is an expert curated database containing interaction networks, disease associations, and post-translation modifications for each protein in the human proteome. This database is also used for obtaining protein-protein interactions.

General Repository for Interaction Datasets

BioGRID is a freely accessible database of protein and genetic interactions.

Comparative Toxicogenomics Database

Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) is a community-supported public resource. It is being developed at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL), a Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Science (MFBS) Center of the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

STITCH

STITCH is a resource to explore known and predicted interactions of chemicals and proteins. Chemicals are linked to other chemicals and proteins by evidence derived from experiments, databases and the literature.

Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes - KEGG

KEGG PATHWAY is a collection of manually drawn pathway maps representing our knowledge on the molecular interaction and reaction networks.

BioCyc

BioCyc is a collection of Pathway/Genome Databases describing the genome and the metabolic pathways. ToppGene Suite uses the HumanCyc database which is a collection of human metabolic pathways and the genes associated with each one of them.

BioCarta Pathways

BioCarta pathways is a database of pathways and the corresponding genes associated with each one of them.

Small Molecule Pathway Database

SMPDB (The Small Molecule Pathway Database) is an interactive, visual database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. More than 2/3 of these pathways (>280) are not found in any other pathway database.

Panther Pathways

The PANTHER (Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships) Classification System is a unique resource that classifies genes by their functions, using published scientific experimental evidence and evolutionary relationships to predict function even in the absence of direct experimental evidence. Proteins are classified by expert biologists into families and subfamilies of shared function, which are then categorized by molecular function and biological process ontology terms.

Reactome

Reactome is a curated resource of core pathways and reactions in human biology. The information in this database is cross-referenced with PubMed, GO, and the sequence databases at NCBI, Ensembl and UniProt.

Uniprot - Expasy

An EBI database of proteins cross-referenced to multiple databases such as family and domain databases.

Pubmed

PubMed is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine that includes over 16 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals for biomedical articles back to the 1950s.

TargetScan

TargetScan database stores predicted regulatory targets of mammalian microRNAs. Targets are predicted using TargetScanS algorithm by searching for the presence of conserved 8mer and 7mer sites that match the seed region of each miRNA.

PicTar

PicTar is an algorithm and database for predicted miRNA targets.

MSigDB

The Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) is a collection of gene sets for use with GSEA software. MSigDB data are used in several ToppGene Suite features.

Drug Bank

The DrugBank database is a unique bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure, and pathway) information.
