    • S. pombe is now included in the Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools (RSAT) website. This site provides a series of modular computer programs specifically designed for the detection of regulatory signals in non-coding sequences.
    • Primer design Web-interface scripts that automatically design primers for PCR-based gene targeting. (Click link for “software”). This will automatically suggest primer sequences for gene deletion, tagging, and/or regulatable expression based on gene name and plasmid information that you specify. It will now design large primers for gene targeting and small primers upstream and downstream for monitoring integration.

    • Pfam from WUSTL. Pfam is a large collection of multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models covering many common protein families. From here you can link into Rio. Given a query sequence, Pfam domain, and species, the RIO server will order sequences in the Pfam domain by orthology to the query. Many other options are available, and an annotated gene tree can be generated and viewed with ATV. Check out this tutorial on PFAM from the Sanger.

    • genequiz from the EBI gives access to functional data across genomes–helps you find out what your protein does based on comparisons to many complete genomes.
    • GRID: General Repository for Interaction Datasets (for S. cerevisaie). The GRID is a database of genetic and physical interactions developed in The Tyers Group at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital. It contains interaction data from many sources, including several genome/proteome-wide studies, the MIPS database, and BIND. includes Osprey, a software tool to visualize interactions.
      A project to record published fission yeast genetic and physical interactions is underway with Mike Tyers and the GRID group at Toronto. A sample page is here. If you are interested in participating either in direct data entry of your favorite genes, or in assisting in quality control after the data entry is complete, please email Val Wood val (AT) SANGER (DOT) A C (DOT) U K to join the pombe GRID mailing list.
