Metacore -- genomic analytical tool and pathway analyzer.  MetaCore is an integrated software suite for functional analysis of experimental data such as microarray, SNPs, and pathway analysis. Includes the Pathway Map Creator, Data Annotation and Processing Tools, and Genomics Analysis Tools. MIT access to MetaCore is restricted to the MIT community and registration is required, send requests to smbrown1@mit.edu.

TAIR -- The Arabidopsis Information Resources maintains a database of genetic and molecular biology data for Arabidopsis thaliana. 

NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) -- collection public databases for research in computational biology, genome data, and biomedical information.

Ensembl -- software system which produces and maintains automatic annotation on selected eukaryotic genomes.

BLAST --  analysis tool that finds regions of similarity between biological sequences.

MetaCore is an integrated software suite for functional analysis of experimental data. MetaCore is based on a curated database of human protein-protein, protein-DNA interactions, transcription factors, signaling and metabolic pathways, disease and toxicity, and the effects of bioactive molecules. 

Use MetaCore for functional analysis of:

• gene expression
• metabolomics
• proteomics
• siRNA
• SNPs
• HCS

MetaCore includes easy to use, intuitive tools for data visualization, mapping and exchange, multiple networking algorithms and filters. Visit MetaCore to learn more.

MetaCore offers fairly robust training resources online.
