ProMPT - Prostate Cancer Mechanisms of Progression and Treatment Resource Report Resource Website |
ProMPT - Prostate Cancer Mechanisms of Progression and Treatment (RRID:SCR_004160) | ProMPT | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | The MRC and Cancer Funders'' Forum (now National Cancer Research Institute, NCRI) established two cancer collaboratives in 2002, ProMPT and the Southern Collaborative. Their purpose was to increase the critical mass of basic and translational cancer researchers working on prostate cancer. The Collaboratives have both been successful in raising external grant income over the past 5 or 6 years and the current funding is very much geared around infrastructure to help with bio-marker development. This includes the establishment of biorepositories and tissue collections together with appropriate epidemiological and clinical information. The ProMPT collaborative is organized by Professor David Neal, Chair of Surgical Oncology in Cambridge. The other institutions include the Universities of Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sheffield and York. The collaborative is very much working on translational aspects of prostate cancer research and has available to it a wide range of models. The Bristol group is working on epidemiological aspects and IGF, the Manchester group is working on stem cells, the Newcastle group is focused on target identification and validation and new drug development. Sheffield is working on model systems, bone metastasis and angiogenesis, York''s expertise is stem cells, structural biology and prostate specific gene targeting., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Arizona Biospecimen Locator Resource Report Resource Website |
Arizona Biospecimen Locator (RRID:SCR_004151) | ABL | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | 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.

ExAc (RRID:SCR_004068) | ExAC | database, data or information resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9, 2023. An aggregated data platform for genome sequencing data created by a coalition of investigators seeking to aggregate and harmonize exome sequencing data from a variety of large-scale sequencing projects, and to make summary data available for the wider scientific community. The data set provided on this website spans 61,486 unrelated individuals sequenced as part of various disease-specific and population genetic studies. They have removed individuals affected by severe pediatric disease, so this data set should serve as a useful reference set of allele frequencies for severe disease studies. All of the raw data from these projects have been reprocessed through the same pipeline, and jointly variant-called to increase consistency across projects. They ask that you not publish global (genome-wide) analyses of these data until after the ExAC flagship paper has been published, estimated to be in early 2015. If you''re uncertain which category your analyses fall into, please email them. The aggregation and release of summary data from the exomes collected by the Exome Aggregation Consortium has been approved by the Partners IRB (protocol 2013P001477, Genomic approaches to gene discovery in rare neuromuscular diseases). | exome sequencing, exome, sequencing, variant, grch37/hg19, gene, region, transcript, multi-allelic variant, FASEB list |

PReMod Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
PReMod (RRID:SCR_003403) | PReMod | database, data or information resource | Database that describes more than 100,000 computational predicted transcriptional regulatory modules within the human genome. These modules represent the regulatory potential for 229 transcription factors families and are the first genome-wide / transcription factor-wide collection of predicted regulatory modules for the human genome. The algorithm used involves two steps: (i) Identification and scoring of putative transcription factor binding sites using 481 TRANSFAC 7.2 position weight matrices (PWMs) for vertebrate transcription factors. To this end, each non-coding position of the human genome was evaluated for its similarity to each PWM using a log-likelihood ratio score with a local GC-parameterized third-order Markov background model. Corresponding orthologous positions in mouse and rat genomes were evaluated similarly and a weighted average of the human, mouse, and rat log-likelihood scores at aligned positions (based on a Multiz (Blanchette et al. 2004) genome-wide alignment of these three species) was used to define the matrix score for each genomic position and each PWM. (ii) Detection of clustered putative binding sites. To assign a module score to a given region, the five transcription factors with the highest total scoring hits are identified, and a p-value is assigned to the total score observed of the top 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 factors. The p-value computation takes into consideration the number of factors involved (1 to 5), their total binding site scores, and the length and GC content of the region under evaluation. Users can retrieve all information for a given region, a given PWM, a given gene and so on. Several options are given for textual output or visualization of the data. | cis-regulatory module, genome, transcription factor binding site, chromosome, module, predict, gene |

British Columbia Gynaecologic Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_004171) | BC Gynaecologic Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | The OvCaRe Tissue Bank is housed within the Vancouver General Hospital Department of Pathology and the British Columbia Cancer Agency. This bank contains tumour samples from over 1100 patients. The tissue samples in the bank are collected from consenting patients within 30 minutes of surgical excision and stored in a variety of forms, including snap frozen, formalin fixed, and as live cells. As of 2007, serum, plasma, and buffy coat are also being collected for every case within the tissue bank. In addition to providing research material for OvCaRe researchers, the OvCaRe Tumour Bank is more active than any other tumour bank in sending samples to research collaborators and has already contributed to 43 national and international research projects. This and other tissue banks provide the foundation for translational research in medicine. In order for these samples to be used by current technologies such as Illumina whole transcriptome sequencing, the samples must be of extremely high quality. We have currently sent a selection of our samples to The Cancer Genome Atlas Project for analysis and were told by researchers there that our samples were among the best quality that they had encountered around the world. Serum Bank The OvCaRe serum bank is located at the British Columbia Cancer Agency. This bank contains over 10,000 serum samples that have been submitted for CA-125 testing as well as samples collected from patients who have consented to have their tumours submitted to the OvCaRe Tumour Bank. Like the tumour bank, these resources are available to collaborating researchers. Ovarian Cancer Tissue Microarrays The ovarian cancer tissue microarray facility from all available early ovarian cancer cases in the province for the period 1984-2000 (541 samples) was created by Dr. Blake Gilks and is the largest tissue microarray of early ovarian cancer samples. This population based series was generated in the Genetic Pathology Evaluation Center (GPEC), a laboratory supported by a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Unit Grant and is being used by over 20 different local and international collaborative studies. Two other ovarian cancer tissue microarrays are also built and are available to interested collaborators. All samples in the tissue microarray are linked to clinical outcomes at the Cheryl Brown Ovarian Cancer Outcomes Unit. |

DCI Tissue and Blood Procurement Shared Resource (RRID:SCR_004116) | DCI Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Over 10,000 patient consents, 5,000 banking events, and 40,000 biospecimens have been processed to date with storage of both formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue and frozen tissue located within multiple freezers spanning temperatures in the range of -80 degrees to -180 degrees C depending on protocol requirements. Considerable effort continues to be expended to assure compliance with IRB, NIH and HIPAA best practices and guidelines on banking human tissues. The biorepository in place today is the result of the combined efforts of the Duke Cancer Institute (DCI) Breast SPORE, DCI Shared Resource for Tissue and Blood Procurement, and the Duke University School of Medicine Research Foundation (DUSOM-RF). The DCI and the School of Medicine Research Foundation (SOMRF) have funded the collection of frozen and fixed tissues, both malignant and benign, under an ?????????????????excess tissue????????????????? protocol that utilizes freshly excised tissue that is available for research after the needs of the pathologic workup are met. This program procures tissues from many anatomic sites including breast. Recently Duke''s Institute of Genome Science & Policy (IGSP), under the direction of Drs. Geoff Ginsburg and Tom Burke, initiated a blood collection program that spans several departments and institutes. The Breast SPORE blood collection program served as the pilot for this much larger effort. The Breast SPORE tissue and blood collection effort utilizes much of the same infrastructure and personnel that are also supported by the DCI, SOMRF, and IGSP. | blood, tissue, cancer, biospecimen, formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue, frozen tissue, malignant, benign, breast tissue, breast cancer, tumor, frozen, paraffin, malignant tissue, benign tissue |

PolymiRTS (RRID:SCR_003389) | PolymiRTS | database, data or information resource | Database of naturally occurring DNA variations in microRNA (miRNA) seed regions and miRNA target sites. MicroRNAs pair to the transcripts of protein-coding genes and cause translational repression or mRNA destabilization. SNPs and INDELs in miRNAs and their target sites may affect miRNA-mRNA interaction, and hence affect miRNA-mediated gene repression. The PolymiRTS database was created by scanning 3'UTRs of mRNAs in human and mouse for SNPs and INDELs in miRNA target sites. Then, the potential downstream effects of these polymorphisms on gene expression and higher-order phenotypes are identified. Specifically, genes containing PolymiRTSs, cis-acting expression QTLs, and physiological QTLs in mouse and the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of human traits and diseases are linked in the database. The PolymiRTS database also includes polymorphisms in target sites that have been supported by a variety of experimental methods and polymorphisms in miRNA seed regions. | polymorphism, microrna, human, disease, trait, snp, indel, pathway, genetic variant, gene expression, phenotype, chromosome, chromosome location, bio.tools, FASEB list |

ASAP: the Alternative Splicing Annotation Project (RRID:SCR_003415) | ASAP | database, data or information resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 8/12/13. Database to access and mine alternative splicing information coming from genomics and proteomics based on genome-wide analyses of alternative splicing in human (30 793 alternative splice relationships found) from detailed alignment of expressed sequences onto the genomic sequence. ASAP provides precise gene exon-intron structure, alternative splicing, tissue specificity of alternative splice forms, and protein isoform sequences resulting from alternative splicing. They developed an automated method for discovering human tissue-specific regulation of alternative splicing through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which involves classifying human EST libraries according to tissue categories and Bayesian statistical analysis. They use the UniGene clusters of human Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) to identify splices. The UniGene EST's are clustered so that a single cluster roughly corresponds to a gene (or at least a part of a gene). A single EST represents a portion of a processed (already spliced) mRNA. A given cluster contains many ESTs, each representing an outcome of a series of splicing events. The ESTs in UniGene contain the different mRNA isoforms transcribed from an alternatively spliced gene. They are not predicting alternative splicing, but locating it based on EST analysis. The discovered splices are further analyzed to determine alternative splicing events. They have identified 6201 alternative splice relationships in human genes, through a genome-wide analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Starting with 2.1 million human mRNA and EST sequences, they mapped expressed sequences onto the draft human genome sequence and only accepted splices that obeyed the standard splice site consensus. After constructing a tissue list of 46 human tissues with 2 million human ESTs, they generated a database of novel human alternative splices that is four times larger than our previous report, and used Bayesian statistics to compare the relative abundance of every pair of alternative splices in these tissues. Using several statistical criteria for tissue specificity, they have identified 667 tissue-specific alternative splicing relationships and analyzed their distribution in human tissues. They have validated our results by comparison with independent studies. This genome-wide analysis of tissue specificity of alternative splicing will provide a useful resource to study the tissue-specific functions of transcripts and the association of tissue-specific variants with human diseases. | gene, genome, human, isoform, mechanism, metazoa, molecular, mrna, nucleus, process, protein, sequence, splice, tissue specificity, transcription, transcript, alternate splicing, microarray, alternative splicing, biological process, alternatively spliced isoform, contig, cancer, image |
