Proper Citation: CellFinder (RRID:SCR_006598)

Description: Database of mapped validated gene and protein expression, phenotype and images related to cell types. The data allow characterization and comparison of cell types and can be browsed by using the body browser and by searching for cells or genes. All cells are related to more complex systems such as tissues, organs and organisms and arranged according to their position in development. CellFinder provides long-term data storage for validated and curated primary research data and provides additional expert-validation through relevant information extracted from text. Operated under the Open Source/Access model, community and scientific networking applications will allow users to store and retrieve their data and to explore cells and their interactions on singular and complex resolution levels. The involvement of stem cell registries and banks will allow direct access to selected cells. The set up the stem cell data repository will involve three lines of action: * the acquisition of scientific data and contents * the standardized description of this data, its organization with the help of ontologies and technical implementation * the integration of existing sources/logistics and to ensure sustainable long-term operation
