GBF - Molecular Bioinformatics of Gene Regulation
The GBF project "Molecular Bioinformatics of Gene Regulation" deals with the DNA sequence features of regulatory genomic elements and regions, in particular those that govern transcriptional control. The project comprises theroretical as well as experimental work. The basis of the theoretical part is the TRANSFAC database. It compiles data about gene regulatory DNA sequences and protein factors binding to them. On this basis, programs are developed that help to identify putative promoter or enhancer structures and to suggest their features. These efforts are part of ring funding projects GENUS (GEne regulatory NUcleic acid Sequences) financed by the BMBF (the previous BMFT) and TRADAT (TRAnscription DATabases and analysis tools) by the European Comission.

Généthon

• GenomeView - access to several public physical and genetic map data sources
• CEPH/Généthon Physical Map

Genestream
Genestream 2, at the Institut de Genetique Humaine, Montpellier

GenLink
GenLink provides linkage mapping information and software tools that facilitate the integration of physical and genetic linkage data to produce unified maps of the human genome. Researchers interested in identifying genes based on map positions should find the resource helpful.

• GenotypesDB stores public genotype information & CEPH data

GIRI - Genetic Information Research Institute
Genetic Information Research Institute (GIRI) is a private, non-profit institution founded in 1994. Their mission is to understand biological processes which alter the the genetic makeup of different organisms, as a basis for potential gene therapy and genome engineering techniques.

They pursue and promote original peer-reviewed, public domain research on genetic information (DNA sequence data), as well as dissemination of databases and computer software related to this research.

Their research is heavily based on computer power and human skills different from those applied in classical molecular biology and genetics. As there are few established university departments devoted to this kind of research, the Institute is anticipating to play an active role in establishing computational biology as an independent field of research.
