The IPD-MHC Database provides a centralised repository for sequences of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) from a number of different species. Through a number of international collaborations IPD is able to provide the MHC sequences of different species. The sequences provided by each group are curated by experts in the field and then submitted to the central database.

The Human Ageing Genomic Resources (HAGR) is a collection of databases and tools for the biology and genetics of ageing. HAGR features several databases with high-quality, manually-curated data: 1) GenAge, a database of genes associated with ageing in humans and model organisms; 2) AnAge, an extensive collection of longevity records and complementary traits for over 4,000 vertebrate species; and 3) GenDR, a database containing both gene mutations that interfere with dietary restriction-mediated lifespan extension and consistent gene expression changes induced by dietary restriction.

This repository provides access to a wide range of work produced by members of Nottingham Trent University, including journal articles, authored and edited books, book chapters, conference contributions and digital and visual media. A full description of all items is provided and, whenever possible, the full text (or equivalent).

The Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) provides accurate transcription start site (TSS) information for promoters of 15 model organisms, from human to yeast to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. While the original database was a manually curated database based on published experiments, new promoter collections are now produced entirely automatically (under the name “EPDnew”) based on high-throughput transcript mapping data and high-quality gene annotation resources. Corresponding functional genomics data can be viewed in a genome browser, queried or analyzed via web interfaces, or exported in standard formats like FASTA or BED for subsequent analysis with other tools; of note, EPD is tightly integrated with two tool suites developed by our group: ChIP-Seq and Signal Search Analysis, for analysis of chromatin context and sequence motif respectively. EPD provides promoter viewers, designed with the aim of integrating and displaying information from different sources about, for instance, histone marks, transcription factor-binding sites or SNPs with known phenotypes. These viewers rely upon the UCSC genome browser as a visualization platform, which enables users to view data tracks from EPD jointly with tracks from UCSC or public track hubs.

The mission of BioStudies is to provide access to all the data outputs of a life sciences study from a single place, by organising links to data in other databases at EMBL-EBI or elsewhere, as well as hosting data and metadata that do not fit anywhere else. The database accepts submissions via an online tool, or in a simple tab-delimited format. BioStudies provides rich mechanisms for defining and using metadata guidelines specific for a particular data source such as a project or a community, and organises datasets in collections.
