A software tool providing a Web interface and a database back-end for collecting clinical symptoms and physical findings observed in patients with genetic disorders. The main goals of this software are * To allow for collecting patient data in standard formats, enabling effortless data exchange and automated search in annotated gene and disease databases, and * To provide advanced functionalities and a friendly user interface that help reduce the clinician''''s workload, permitting seamless use of this application within the clinician''''s routine. PhenoTips uses the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) to express clinical phenotypes, and provides a friendly interface with error-tolerant, predictive search of phenotypic descriptions. PhenoTips closely mirrors clinician workflows: observations can be recorded directly during the patient encounter, and the interface is compatible with any device that runs a modern Web browser. The clinician can record demographic information, family history, medical history, various standard measurements, phenotypic abnormalities detected in the patient, pertinent indications that were not observed and that can be helpful for differential diagnosis, relevant images depicting manifestations of the patient''''s disorders, and additional notes for each of these categories. The software automatically plots growth curves, selects phenotypes reflecting abnormal measurements, instantly finds OMIM disorders matching the phenotypic description and suggests other symptoms to investigate in order to reach a more accurate diagnosis.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. This is the official database of the environmental chlamydia genome project. This resource provides access to finished sequence for Parachlamydia-related symbiont UWE25 and to a wide range of manual annotations, automatical analyses and derived datasets. Functional classification and description has been manually annotated according to the Annotation guidelines. Chlamydiae are the major cause of preventable blindness and sexually transmitted disease. Genome analysis of a chlamydia-related symbiont of free-living amoebae revealed that it is twice as large as any of the pathogenic chlamydiae and had few signs of recent lateral gene acquisition. We showed that about 700 million years ago the last common ancestor of pathogenic and symbiotic chlamydiae was already adapted to intracellular survival in early eukaryotes and contained many virulence factors found in modern pathogenic chlamydiae, including a type III secretion system. Ancient chlamydiae appear to be the originators of mechanisms for the exploitation of eukaryotic cells. Environmental chlamydiae have recently been recognized as obligate endosymbionts of free-living amoebae and have been implicated as potential human pathogens. Environmental chlamydiae form a deep branching evolutionary lineage within the medically important order Chlamydiales. Despite their high diversity and ubiquitous distribution in clinical and environmental samples only limited information about genetics and ecology of these microorganisms is available. The Parachlamydia-related Acanthamoeba symbiont UWE25 was therefore selected as representative environmental chlamydia strain for whole genome sequencing. Comparative genome analysis was performed using PEDANT and simap. Sponsors: The environmental chlamydia genome project was funded by the bmb+f (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and is part of the Competence Network PathoGenoMiK.

The NCI DIS 3D database is a collection of 3D structures for over 400,000 drugs. The database is an extension of the NCI Drug Information System. The structural information stored in the DIS is only the connection table for each drug. The connection table is just a list of which atoms are connected and how they are connected. It is essentially a searcheable database of three-dimensional structures has been developed from the chemistry database of the NCI Drug Information System (DIS), a file of about 450,000 primarily organic compounds which have been tested by NCI for anticancer activity. The DIS database is very similar in size and content to the proprietary databases used in the pharmaceutical industry; its development began in the 1950s; and this history led to a number of problems in the generation of 3D structures. This information can be searched to find drugs that share similar patterns of connections, which can correlate with similar biological activity. But the cellular targets for drug action, as well as the drugs themselves, are 3 dimensional objects and advances in computer hardware and software have reached the point where they can be represented as such. In many cases the important points of interaction between a drug and its target can be represented by a 3D arrangement of a small number of atoms. Such a group of atoms is called a pharmacophore. The pharmacophore can be used to search 3D databases and drugs that match the pharmacophore could have similar biological activity, but have very different patterns of atomic connections. Having a diverse set of lead compounds increases the chances of finding an active compound with acceptable properties for clinical development. Sponsor: The ICBG are supported by the Cooperative Agreement mechanism, with funds from nine components of the NIH, the National Science Foundation, and the Foreign Agricultural Service of the USDA.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. The need to use human neoplastic tissue under ideal conditions is currently of particular importance due to the development molecular pathology techniques that allow large-scale studies of genetic expression that are also of clinical significance. The Tumour Bank Network (TBN), instigated and coordinated by the Molecular Pathology Programme (MMP) aims to respond to this need by the promoting of Tumour Banks in Spanish hospitals. This will be achieved through the application of homogeneous procedures for the collection, processing and storage of neoplastic and normal tissue samples in such a way as to make molecular studies possible, avoiding that avoid the intrinsic bias of multi-centre studies possible. These Hospital Tumour Banks are based within the Pathology Departments of the collaborating Hospitals, that are interconnected through a computer-based network. In this way, each Centre''s tissue remains in the Hospital itself, thereby playing a key role in the development of the welfare, teaching and research activities within the Hospital. At the same time, it represents a tool to encourage of multi-hospital cancer research and of cooperation between basic and clinical researchers, constituting important collaboration between biomedical disciplines. The design does not correspond to a Central Tumour Bank, but that of a cooperative and coordinated Network of Hospital Banks, based on simple, homogeneous and optimal tissue treatment protocols. This Network is promoted by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas (CNIO), which thereby undertakes the work of coordinating the network, using and maintaining the database, adhering to quality control. The aim of the CNIO's TBN is to acquire neoplastic and control non-neoplastic material of all types of malignant neoplasias, in the form of tissue fixed in formalin and paraffin embedded, of samples that are unfixed or frozen according to conventional methods as set out in Annexe 1 and even, exceptionally as fresh tissue. When other types of samples are required to carry out a specific project, the central office of the TBN will draw up a protocol with the group leading the project for the collection and maintenance of the tissue and clinicopathological data required for the proposed research. These protocols will be disseminated among the Associated Hospitals in order to gather the previously agreed number cases. Basic data surrounding the processing and preservation conditions for each case will be sent to the central office of the Bank, which under no circumstances will reveal the identity of the patient. Any Spanish cancer research team will be able to request tissue from the Tissue Bank Network. Absolute priority will be afforded to projects whose principal researcher belongs to one of the Associated Centres of the TNB, to other institutions with special agreements concerning the exchange of samples, and to the CNIO's researchers.
