CiteAb Ltd is a biotechnology company located in Bath, England that offers an antibody search facility. CieAb ranks antibodies by the number of times they have been cited. This allows researchers to easily find antibodies that have been used in peer-reviewed publications and the accompanying citations are listed, so users can check the data contained within the publications. This makes CiteAb a useful resource for identifying antibodies for experiments and also for finding information to demonstrate antibody validation (Helsby et al., BMC Cell Biol 15:6, 2014) Registration not required.

ChEMBL, an open-access database, contains more than 5 million interactions between proteins and ligands that have been published in peer-reviewed journals or reported by laboratories and screening centers . Under ChEMBL’s “Ligand Search” tab, you can enter a compound’s SMILES notation in the “List Search” box and click “Fetch Compounds.” On the next page, clicking on the ChEMBL compound identifier under the 2-D drawing takes you to the Compound Report Card page, which includes the “Protein Target Classes” and tables containing the proteins that are predicted to bind with the highest affinity (Nucleic Acids Res, 40:D1100-07,2012). Registration not required.

PyClone is a tool for inferring the cellular prevalence of point mutations from deeply sequenced data. It serves as a statistical model for inference of clonal population structures in cancers.The model supports simultaneous analysis of multiple related samples and infers clusters of mutations whose cellular prevalences shift together. Such clusters of mutations can be inferred as mutational genotypes of distinct clonal populations (Roth et al., Nature Meth 11, 396, 2014). Registration required.

The R package multiMiR, with web server is a comprehensive collection of predicted and validated miRNA-target interactions and their associations with diseases and drugs. Within this database, investigators can find clues to potential new treatments for various diseases, including cancer. In addition to helping researchers search for relationships between microRNAs and their genetic targets, multiMiR includes drugs that affect these microRNAs and lists associated diseases.The database combines nearly 50 million records from 14 microRNA data repositories. It also links to research results. Researchers can input names of microRNAs, genes, drugs, diseases, or any combination. Then they can ask the database for validated or predicted genetic targets of microRNAs, or for validated or predicted microRNAs that regulate specific genes (M Fillon, JNCI 106, issue 12, News 3, 2014) Registration not required.

The Bionimbus Protected Data Cloud (PDC), developed at the University of Chicago, is an open-source cloud-based infrastructure for managing, analyzing, and sharing large amounts of genomics and phenotypic data in a secure and compliant manner. Bionimbus is part of a larger project called the Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) and there is a version of Bionimbus (Bionimbus Community Cloud) for open-access data and a version for controlled-access data (Bionimbus PDC). Bionimbus is based primarily upon OpenStack, which manages on-demand virtual machines that provide the required computational resources, and GlusterFS, which is a high-performance clustered file system (Heath et al., J Am Med Inform Assoc 0:1–7, 2014). Registration required.
