Database of vertebrate olfactory receptors genes and proteins. It supports sequencing and analysis of these receptors by providing a comprehensive archive with search tools for this expanding family. The database also incorporates a broad range of chemosensory genes and proteins, including the taste papilla receptors (TPRs), vomeronasal organ receptors (VNRs), insect olfaction receptors (IORs), Caenorhabditis elegans chemosensory receptors (CeCRs), and fungal pheromone receptors (FPRs). ORDB currently houses chemosensory receptors for more than 50 organisms. ORDB contains public and private sections which provide tools for investigators to analyze the functions of these very large gene families of G protein-coupled receptors. It also provides links to a local cluster of databases of related information in SenseLab, and to other relevant databases worldwide. The database aims to house all of the known olfactory receptor and chemoreceptor sequences in both nucleotide and amino acid form and serves four main purposes: * It is a repository of olfactory receptor sequences. * It provides tools for sequence analysis. * It supports similarity searches (screens) which reduces duplicate work. * It provides links to other types of receptor information, e.g. 3D models. The database is accessible to two classes of users: * General public www users have full access to all the public sequences, models and resources in the database. * Source laboratories are the laboratories that clone olfactory receptors and submit sequences in the private or public database. They can search any sequence they deposited to the database against any private or public sequence in the database. This user level is suited for laboratories that are actively cloning olfactory receptors.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented October 4, 2017.

A sub-project of the Cell Centered Database (http://ccdb.ucsd.edu) providing a public repository for animal imaging data sets from MRI and related techniques. The public AIDB website provides the ability for browsing, visualizing and downloading the animal subjected MRI data. The AIDB is a pilot project to serve the current need for public imaging repositories for animal imaging data. The Cell Centered Database (CCDB) is a web accessible database for high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy. The AIDB data model is modified from the basic model of the CCDB where microscopic images are combined to make 2D, 3D and 4D reconstructions. The CCDB has made available over 40 segmented datasets from high resolution magnetic resonance imaging of inbred mouse strains through the prototype AIDB. These data were acquired as part of the Mouse BIRN project by Drs. G. Allan Johnson and Robert Williams. More information about these data can be found in Badea et al. (2009) (Genetic dissection of the mouse CNS using magnetic resonance microscopy - Pubmed: 19542887)

Database of organelle proteins, and subcellular structures / complexes from compiled protein localization data from organisms spanning the eukaryotic kingdom. All data may be downloaded as a tab-delimited text file and new localization data (and localization images, etc) for any organism relevant to the data sets currently contained in Organelle DB is welcomed. The data sets in Organelle DB encompass 138 organisms with emphasis on the major model systems: S. cerevisiae, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus, and human proteins as well. In particular, Organelle DB is a central repository of yeast protein localization data, incorporating results from both previous and current (ongoing) large-scale studies of protein localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, we have manually curated several recent subcellular proteomic studies for incorporation in Organelle DB. In total, Organelle DB is a singular resource consolidating our knowledge of the protein composition of eukaryotic organelles and subcellular structures. When available, we have included terms from the Gene Ontologies: the cellular component, molecular function, and biological process fields are discussed more fully in GO. Additionally, when available, we have included fluorescent micrographs (principally of yeast cells) visualizing the described protein localization. Organelle View is a visualization tool for yeast protein localization. It is a visually engaging way for high school and undergraduate students to learn about genetics or for visually-inclined researchers to explore Organelle DB. By revealing the data through a colorful, dimensional model, we believe that different kinds of information will come to light.

http://www.mouseatlas.org/

A portal to the Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression Project and Dissecting Gene Expression Networks in Mammalian Organogenesis Project. This Atlas will define the normal state for many tissues by determining, in a comprehensive and quantitative fashion, the number and identity of genes expressed throughout development. The resource will be comprehensive, quantitative, and publicly accessible, containing data on essentially all genes expressed throughout select stages of mouse development. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is the gene expression methodology of choice for this work. Unlike expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and gene chip data, SAGE data are independent of prior gene discovery and are quantitative. Furthermore, SAGE data are digital, easily exchanged between laboratories for comparison and can be added to by scientists for years to come. Thus, this Atlas will include a data structure and data curation strategy that will facilitate the ongoing collection of gene expression data, even after the completion of this project. The Mouse Atlas project compromises 202 SAGE Libraries from 198 tissues. The list of libraries is available in a number of different groupings, including groups of libraries taken from specific tissue locations and libraries taken from specific developmental stages. Furthermore, this atlas will assemble gene expression profiles for a few focused experiments that will test hypotheses related to the techniques employed, tumor models and models of abnormal development. This will test the resource and provide quality control, validation and demonstrate applicability. Additionally, The Mammalian Organogenesis - Regulation by Gene Expression Networks (MORGEN) project will provide a complete, permanent, and accurate picture of mouse gene expression in the heart (atrioventricular canal and outflow tract), pancreas, and liver; new techniques to understand the interplay of proteins governing the expression of genes key to the development of these organ systems; and the identification of the master regulatory switches that control development of the tissues.

The Edwards lab conducts research in various aspects of computational biology and bioinformatics, particularly proteomics and mass spectrometry informatics and DNA and protein based signatures for pathogen detection. Some tools provided by Edwards Lab are the PepArML Meta-Search Engine, PeptideMapper Web-Service, Peptide Sequence Databases, Rapid Microorganism Identification Database (RMIDb), and GlycoPeptideSearch. Our primary area of research is the analysis of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics. Proteomics, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the expressed proteins of a cell, makes it possible to detect and compare the protein abundance profiles of different samples. Proteins observed to be under or over expressed in disease samples can lead to diagnostic markers or drug targets. The observation of mutated or alternatively spliced protein isoforms may provide domain experts with clues to the mechanisms by which a disease operates. The detection of proteins by mass spectrometry can even signal the presence of airborne microorganisms, such as anthrax, in the detect-to-protect time-frame. Recent research has focused on the discovery of novel peptides in proteomics datasets, improving the sensitivity and specificity of peptide identification using spectral matching with hidden Markov models, and unsupervised machine-learning based peptide identification result combining. Outside of proteomics, we work on computational tools for the design of highly specific oligonucleotides useful for pathogen signatures and PCR assay design. Recent research has focused on precomputing all human oligos of length 20 that are unique up to 4 string edits; and all bacterial 20-mer oligos that are species specific up to 4 string edits.

http://akt.ucsf.edu/EGAN/

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Time-series data sets spanning twelve time-points between E12-P9 for exploring cerebellar development of the mouse in time and space. The database contains a number of mutant / wildtype microarray datasets including two complete wildtype microarray time-series (C57BL/6 and DBA/2J). The dataset also includes in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analyses. Exploration of this dataset will allow the investigator to assess differential gene expression profiles from a developing mutant cerebella, to assess the temporal changes in gene expression in the wildtype, and to verify the cellular expression of these genes in images from our in situ hybridization library. Using the database, the investigator can explore the developmental expression or differential expression patterns of a particular gene, or create lists of similarly expression genes by building simple search algorithms. These lists can then be mined across all the datasets in both space and time. Cb GRiTS's current datasets represent gene expression analyses from multiple cerebellar mutant and wildtype single time-point and developmental series.
