Graphics Interchange Format
Abbreviation: GIF
General Information
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a standard for defining generalized color raster images. This format allows high-quality, high-resolution graphics to be displayed on a variety of graphics hardware and is intended as an exchange and display mechanism for graphics images. The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of up to 256 colors for each frame. These palette limitations make the GIF format less suitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.

Mechanism, Annotation and Classification in Enzymes
MACiE is an electronic database of well-characterised enzymatic reactions. MACiE is the result of more than three years' collaboration between the Mitchell and Murray-Rust groups in the Unilever Centre and Prof. Janet Thornton at the European Bioinformatics Institute. The database contains the reaction mechanisms for 100 individual enzymes; this includes the overall reactions and the multiple steps that constitute them.
Nematode.net
Nematode.net is the home page of the parasitic nematode EST project at The Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis. The site was established in 2000 as a component of the NIH-NIAID grant "A Genomic Approach to Parasites from the Phylum Nematoda". While Nematode.net started as a project site, over the years it became a community resource dedicated to the study of parasitic nematodes.
