Evola

Summary	Evola (Evolutionary annotation database) is a database providing ortholog information of H-InvDB human genes. Evola contains orthologs among human and 14 vertebrates (chimpanzee, macaque, mouse, rat, dog, horse, cow, opossum, chicken, zebrafish, medaka, Tetraodon, and fugu). Evolutionary bioligical information such as protein multiple alignments, phylogenetic trees, transcript variants, and the degree of natural selection (dN/dS) are implemented.
Data type	Comparative genomics

FLJ Human cDNA Database

Summary	FLJ human cDNA database was constructed as human cDNA sequence analysis database focused on mRNA varieties caused by variations of transcription start site (TSS) and splicing.Human gene number was estimated to be 20-25 thousand. However number of human mRNA varieties was predicted to be about 100 thousand. The varieties are thought to be caused by variations of TSS and splicing. In our previous human cDNA project, about 30 thousand of FLJ human full-length sequenced cDNAs were deposited to DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL, and we obtained about 1.4 million of 5'-end sequences (5'-EST) of FLJ full-length cDNAs from about 100 kinds of cDNA libraries consist of human tissues and cells constructed by oligo-capping method.(cited from original site)

G-compass

Summary	G-compass was designed as a tool for the study of comparative genomics. It provides the data of evolutionarily conserved genomic regions and orthologous genes between human and 12 vertebrates (chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, mouse, rat, dog, cow, horse, opossum, chicken, zebrafish, medaka and Tetraodon). Information of ultraconserved elements (UCE) and copy number variable regions (CNV) are provided. Sliding window analysis and dot plot analysis are also implemented.

H-ANGEL

Summary	H-ANGEL is a resource which provides information on human gene expression. H-ANGEL displays expression patterns of transcriptional products generated by the H-Invitational project in practical tissue categories based on tissue-specific expression data from several experimental platforms. H-ANGEL also displays information for the expression of different genes at their corresponding physical positions in the human genome. This information is linked to the corresponding transcript or locus annotation data stored in H-InvDB.
