• ChromDB: The Plant Chromatin Database: The mission of ChromDB is to bring together information on homologs of chromatin-associated proteins encoded by plant genomes, organize this information logically and in a comparative manner across species (with reference to other eukaryotes to the extent possible), and make it readily accessible to any members of the research and teaching communities who might be interested in the role played by chromatin proteins in the control of gene expression and genome organization. Our first priority is to provide (a) complete sets of genes encoding chromatin-associated proteins (CAPs) for those plant species with complete or near-complete genome sequences (currently Arabidopsis and rice, with poplar to be displayed in the future), (b) the best available splicing models and predicted protein sequences for these genes, and (c) a molecular phylogenetic context for understanding the evolutionary diversification of these protein families during plant evolution with reference to animal and fungal homologs. Our next priorities will be to identify and present CAP genes in all available EST and partial genomic sequences of other plant species, as well as to provide information regarding their biochemical, developmental, physiological, and cellular functions through a community annotation mechanism.
• Danish Pest Infestation Laboratory: DPIL's work areas deal with insect and mammal pests on domestic animals, in stocks, buildings and used materials. The objective is to undertake research to facilitate effective prevention and/or control of pests, while at the same time minimizing pesticide used.
• Euchromatin Network: Euchromatin is that portion of the genome that is most active in gene transcription within the animal cell nucleus. It is in marked contrast to heterochromatin, which is the least active. And yet, either form of chromatin can be converted to the other, conversion to euchromatin being associated with new gene activation for RNA synthesis, and conversion to heterochromatin being associated with new gene repression for RNA synthesis. // Together with the Euchromatin Network, we are developing forums on all aspects of euchromatin, its composition, activity, control, and significance. We welcome your comments and suggestions in the design of these forums, and your participation in their on-going discussions.
• FlowerDelivery: This resource is designed to give information on the most popular flowers in North America. Growing tips, history of cultivation, pest control, photosynthesis and other important facts are accessible for the flower categories below via the provided links.

• Metabolic Simulation software: The software packages available at this site can be used to simulate cellular processes such as metabolic pathways, gene regulatory circuits and signal transduction pathways. SCAMP allows the user to carry out Simulations, Steady state analysis, simple Bifurcation analysis and Metabolic Control Analysis. SCAMP is based on a scripting language which is used to describe cellular systems.
• Microarray Gene Expression Database Group: The MGED group is an open discussion group initially established at the Microarray Gene Expression Database meeting MGED 1 (November, 1999, Cambridge, UK). The goal of the group is to facilitate the adoption of standards for DNA-array experiment annotation and data representation, as well as the introduction of standard experimental controls and data normalisation methods.
• Midwest Biological Control News: Midwest Biological Control News is a monthly newsletter dedicated to providing information on the use of beneficial organisms for controlling insect and mite pests of the farm, garden, and home.
• OligoFaktory: OligoFaktory is a web portal that gives access to a series of online applications for the design of oligonucleotides. It is aimed at assisting researchers for a painless, rapid, automated, and reliable design. These applications integrate an innovative numerical approach to the minimization of undesirable interactions such as hairpins, homodimers, and heterodimers. Furthermore, each application is dedicated to a specific objective and provides great control over specific parameters and constraints.
• One Gene - One Enzyme Theory: This led them to postulate the one gene - one enzyme theory: each gene in an organism controls the production of a specific enzyme. It is these enzymes that catalyze the reactions that lead to the phenotype of the organism. Today, we know that, in fact, not only enzymes, but all the other proteins from which the organism is built are encoded by genes.
• Primer3: Primer3 is a widely used program for designing PCR primers (PCR = Polymerase Chain Reaction). PCR is an essential and ubiquitous tool in genetics and molecular biology. Primer3 can also design hybridization probes and sequencing primers. PCR is used for many different goals. Consequently, primer3 has many different input parameters that you control and that tell primer3 exactly what characteristics make good primers for your goals.
• REST-284: Relative Expression Software Tool: Therefore new software tools were established, named REST © (Relative Expression Software Tool), which compare two or more treatments groups or conditions (in REST-MCS), with up to 100 data points in sample or control group (in REST-XL), for multiple reference genes and up to 15 target genes (in REST-384) . The mathematical model used is based on the correction for exact PCR efficiencies and the mean crossing point deviation between sample group(s) and control group(s). Subsequently the expression ratio results of the investigated transcripts are tested for significance by a Pair Wise Fixed Reallocation Randomisation Test © and plotted using standard error (SE) estimation via a complex Taylor algorithm.
