http://cbil.upenn.edu/BEERS/

A simulation engine for generating RNA-Seq data that was designed to benchmark RNA-Seq alignment algorithms and also algorithms that aim to reconstruct different isoforms and alternate splicing from RNA-Seq data. By default BEERS simulates either mouse or human paired-end RNA-Seq data modeled on the illumina platform. It starts with a large number of gene models (approx 500K) taken from about ten different published annotation efforts, and then chooses a fixed number of these genes at random (30,000 by default). This avoids biasing for or against any particular set of annotations. BEERS then introduces substitutions, indels, alternate spice forms, sequencing errors, and intron signal. BEERS can also simulate strand specific reads. BEERS does not simulate quality scores. There are four configuration files required, these are available for human and mouse. BEERS can also be configured to use any set of gene models. Pre-built indexes for human refseq are given. Using these indexes will generate a much tamer set of transcripts. BEERS is written in perl.

http://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/4/

The FANTOM consortium is an international collaborative research project initiated and organized by the RIKEN Omics Science Center. In earlier FANTOM efforts we cloned and annotated 103,000 full-length cDNAs from mouse and distributed them to researchers throughout the world. FANTOM1-3 focused on identifying the transcribed components of mammalian cells. This work improved estimates of the total number of genes and their alternative transcript isoforms in both human and mouse, expanded gene families, and revealed that a large fraction of the transcriptome is non-coding. In addition, with the development of Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) FANTOM3 could map a large fraction of transcription start sites and revise our models of promoter structure. This updated web resource provides the previous FANTOM results mapped to current genome builds and presents the results of FANTOM4. In FANTOM4 the focus has changed to understanding how these components work together in the context of a biological network. Using deepCAGE (deep sequencing with CAGE) we monitored the dynamics of transcription start site (TSS) usage during a time course of monocytic differentiation in the acute myeloid leukemia cell line THP-1. This allowed us to identify active promoters, monitor their relative expression and define relevant regions for carrying out transcription factor binding site predictions. Computational methods were then used to build a network model of gene expression in this leukemia and the transcription factors key to its regulation. This work gives the first picture of the wiring between genes involved in acute myeloid leukemia and provides a strategy for identifying key factors that determine cell fates. In addition to the network, FANTOM4 data was used in two additional analyses. The first identified a novel class of short RNAs associated with transcription start sites and the second focused on the role of repetitive element expression in the transcriptome. TOOLS *Genome Browser: graphical display of genomic features, such as promoters, exon structures, H3K9 acetylation, transcription factors positioning on the genome, coupled with gene and promoter activities. *EdgeExpressDB: regulatory interactions, such as transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional silencing with miRNA, and PPI, coupled with gene and promoter activities. *SwissRegulon: FANTOM4 TF regulation is predicted using Motif Activity Response Analysis (MARA) developed by Erik van Nimwegen at Biozentrum.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on September 09, 2013. Supply aged mutant and transgenic mice for NIH-supported research directly related to the biology of aging. The mice are raised by the NIA's contractor, Taconic Farms, in Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) barrier facilities. The strains in the mutant mouse aging colony have been donated by the investigators who developed the models, and those investigators are still the legally recognized owners of the intellectual property. A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is required to purchase the mice (a one-time requirement per strain). There are restrictions to the use of this colony as described in the MTA. These restrictions include a prohibition against breeding the mice purchased from the NIA Mutant Mouse Aging Colony, agreement that the mice will not be used for commercial purposes, and agreement that the mice and all derivatives will not be transferred to third parties. The restrictions are further spelled out in the MTA. Animals are sold by age, not weight, and ages are stated in 1 month intervals only; all animals born within a calendar month are considered to be the same age, so date of birth (DOB) is given as month/year. All mice are virgins. The mutant mouse aging colony is slated to end in September 2013. Old mice will be available until September 2013 but the availability of young mice will end earlier. Entries of different strains into the mutant mouse aging colony will end at different times, dependent on the lifespan and pattern of use of the strain. Mouse models include: * Snell Dwarf (3623) ??????????????? last entry will be the November 2011 DOB (date of birth) * Ames Dwarf (324) ??????????????? last entry will be the October 2012 DOB * A53T ???????????????????????-synuclein Transgenic (322) ??????????????? last entry will be the December 2012 DOB * GFP Transgenic (317) ??????????????? last entry will be the January 2013 DOB

Databases and portal to data and ordering mouse strains from MRC Harwell including mouse stocks in FESA (Frozen Embryo and Sperm Archive), mutants from the mutagenesis screen, the ENU DNA archive, standardized phenotyping procedures, imprinting genes and chromosome anomalies. The portal integrates curated information from the MRC Harwell stock resource, and other Harwell databases, with information from external data resources to provide added value information above and beyond what is available through other routes such as IMSR (International Mouse Stain Resource). MouseBook can be searched either using an intuitive Google-style free text search or using the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) tree structure. Text searches can be on gene, allele, strain identifier (e.g. MGI ID) or phenotype term and are assisted by automatic recognition of term types and autocompletion of gene and allele names covered by the database. Results are returned in a tabbed format providing categorized results identified from each of the catalogs in MouseBook. Individual results lines from each catalog include information on gene, allele, chromosomal location and phenotype and provide a simple click-through link to further information as well as ordering the strain. The infrastructure underlying MouseBook has been designed to be extensible, allowing additional data sources to be added enabling other sites to make their data directly available through MouseBook.
