THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The center serves the biomedical research community's increased needs for alternative invertebrate models by maintaining a consistent year-round supply of live cephalopod mollusks. These animals are suitable for a wide range of physiological and molecular biological investigations. Investigations are being conducted in the area of life history related to improved animal husbandry. Further studies focus on improving culture system design through development of computer automation and innovative water filtration technology. Current biomedical research on cephalopods includes neurophysiology of the giant axon; anatomy and neurophysiology of the equilibrium receptor organ as a comparative model of the vestibular system of invertebrates; chemoreception, basic nutrition, and protein metabolism; cellular receptor function; and brain, behavior, and learning. Services Provided: The center has built a computer-automated, environmentally controlled, recirculating seawater laboratory for the purpose of culturing cephalopods. The tank systems can be used to conduct a variety of experiments never before possible with cephalopods. Visiting researchers have access to dedicated facilities, including wet and dry laboratory space, office space, computer support and accommodations, as well as priority access to all available live animal resources. Off-site investigators can have live animals, dissected animal tissues/body fluids from all life stages, and a variety of molecular reagents (gene libraries and clones) delivered year-round. Staff expertise and an extensive literature library are available. All life stages of the squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) and the common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are available year-round from laboratory culture populations. The sepiolid squid (Euprymna scolopes) can also be cultured on request.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. The mission of the C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is to facilitate genetic research of this important model system through the production of deletion alleles at specified gene targets. We choose targets based on investigator requests. Strains produced by the consortium are freely available with no restrictions to any investigator. At one time, our capacity dictated that we restrict requests to five per lab. This restriction no longer holds. Investigators are encouraged especially to register requests for functionally related groups of genes. Consortium strains are distributed by the C. elegans Genetic Center (CGC). In most cases, when you use the Consortium web site to request an existing allele, your request is forwarded automatically to the CGC. However, if you indicate that an existing allele is not satisfactory for your research, (for whatever reason), you may request that we generate another allele for the same target. Any information generated by the Consortium is entered into the official C. elegans data repository, WormBase.

NBRP-Rat was established to overcome limitations associated with properly utilizing existing rat resources. The collection of existing strains and genetic sub strains, phenotypic and genotypic characterization, cryopreservation of embryos, distribution of the collected rat strains, and a publicly accessible database of all assembled data are the major goals of this project. Once achieved, this unique database including the unique rat strains will become a powerful tool for biomedical research. A catalog of comparable, standardized and well characterized rat strains will lead to new and more precise research topics as well as it will facilitate biomedical sciences, drug discovery, advanced chemical research, and contributes to life sciences worldwide. As mentioned before, the major goals of NBRP-Rat are the collection, preservation and supply of rat strains. The repository includes strains from Japan and abroad, spontaneous mutants, congenic and recombinant strains as well as transgenic and mutagenized rats. Deposited rat strains are not only conserved as cryopreserved embryos and sperm. Many reference and frequently used rat strains are also maintained as living animals under SPF conditions. Furthermore, NBRP-rat provides a unique database on various rat strain phenotypes accompanied with basic genetic information. This allows scientists the selection of standardized and research specific strains. The animals themselves are provided free of charge to the research community (except for shipping costs). Sponsors: This project is one part of the National BioResource Projects (NBRP) in Japan for more than 20 species including animals, plants, microbes, tissues and DNAs. It is founded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Monkasho) and started in 2002.

http://clinicalinformatics.stanford.edu/projects/cdw.html

Research and development project at Stanford University to create a standards-based informatics platform supporting clinical and translational research. STRIDE consists of three integrated components: a clinical data warehouse, based on the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM), containing clinical information on over 1.6 million pediatric and adult patients cared for at Stanford University Medical Center since 1995; an application development framework for building research data management applications on the STRIDE platform and a biospecimen data management system. STRIDE's semantic model uses standardized terminologies, such as SNOMED, RxNorm, ICD and CPT, to represent important biomedical concepts and their relationships. STRIDE receives clinical data for research use via HL7 feeds from both SUMC hospitals: Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford Hospital and Clinics. This clinical data is used to support a wide variety of translational research services including: * Anonymized Patient Research Cohort Discovery * Electronic Chart Review for Research * IRB-Approved Clinical Data Extraction * Biospecimen Data Management * Multimedia Research * Data Management and Research Registries STRIDE is a highly secure environment utilizing encryption, fine-grained access control, robust auditing and detailed data segregation. Additionally, STRIDE has a robust access control framework with well-defined access granting authorities and access control groups. Consequently STRIDE meets or exceeds the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security regulations. Privacy protection is further enhanced by requiring IRB approval for all research projects using STRIDE clinical data. From a technology and standards perspective, STRIDE is hosted on the Oracle 11g database platform. STRIDE application software provides access to the web services of a three-tier infrastructures using SSL encryption with strong authentication. These programs are cross-platform, self-updating thick-client applications that provides a rich user interface for data entry, retrieval and review as well as image manipulation and annotation. STRIDE makes extensive use of XML technologies for representation of structured meta data, distributed systems technologies using JSON for secure remote communication between client and server, and Swing graphical interface components providing a rich widget-set as well as advanced imaging and graphing capabilities. Users of the STRIDE Research Desktop Client can perform rapid data entry into structured fields, compose complex queries, and interact securely with clinical, research and imaging data.
