For large amounts of data and more detailed analysis, we recommend you use our publicly-accessible MySQL server, ensembldb.ensembl.org, which you can access as user 'anonymous'. A second server, martdb.ensembl.org provides public access to the BioMart databases.

The BioInfoBank Meta Server offers a gateway to well-benchmarked protein structure and function prediction methods. Structural models collected from the prediction servers are assessed using the powerful 3D-jury consensus approach.

The Bioinformatics Toolkit is a platform that integrates a great variety of tools for protein sequence analysis. Many tools are developed in-house, and serveral public tools are offered with extended functionality. The toolkit includes, among others: NucleotideBLAST, ProteinBLAST, PSI-BLAST, fastHMMER, HHsenser; ClustalW, MUSCLE, Mafft, ProbCons; HHrep, PCOILS, REPPER; Quick2D; HHpred, Modeller; CLANS, ANCESCON, PHYLIP; Reformat, RetrieveSeq, gi2promoter. For a short description of the tools, click the section tabs.

Processing (BETA) library to communicate with MySQL (or any other SQL) databases. note that due to java security restrictions this will not work with applets "out of the box" and that many remote mysql-servers will only allow local access ("localhost") or connections from trusted hosts. (see notes. ) also note that you should have some experience with SQL to put, change and retrieve data from the database.

The Open Bioinformatics Foundation or O|B|F is a non profit, volunteer run organization focused on supporting open source programming in bioinformatics. The foundation grew out of the volunteer projects BioPerl, BioJava and BioPython and was formally incorporated in order to handle our modest requirements of hardware ownership, domain name management and funding for conferences and workshops.The Foundation does not participate directly in the development or structure of the open source work, but as the members of the foundation are drawn from the member projects, there is clear commonality of direction and purpose. Occasionally the O|B|F directors may make announcements about our direction or purpose (a recent one was on the licensing of academic software) when the board feels there is a need to clarify matters, but in general we prefer to remain simply the administrative support organization for our member projects. Our main activities are: * Underwriting and supporting the BOSC conferences * Organizing and supporting developer-centric "hackathon" events * Managing our servers, colocation facilities, bank account & other assets We are incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA as a not-for-profit company.

BioMart is a query-oriented data management system developed jointly by the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OiCR) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). The system can be used with any type of data and is particularly suited for providing 'data mining' like searches of complex descriptive data. BioMart comes with an 'out of the box' website that can be installed, configured and customised according to user requirements. Further access is provided by graphical and text based applications or programmatically using web services or API written in Perl and Java. BioMart has built-in support for query optimisation and data federation and in addition can be configured to work as a DAS 1.5 Annotation server. The process of converting a data source into BioMart format is fully automated by the tools included in the package. Currently supported RDBMS platforms are MySQL, Oracle and Postgres. BioMart is completely Open Source, licensed under the LGPL, and freely available to anyone without restrictions.
