Biological Biochemical Image Database Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Biological Biochemical Image Database (RRID:SCR_003474) | BBID | data or information resource, data repository, database, image collection, image repository, service resource, storage service resource | Database of images of putative biological pathways, macromolecular structures, gene families, and cellular relationships. It is of use to those who are working with large sets of genes or proteins using cDNA arrays, functional genomics, or proteomics. The rationale for this collection is that: # Except in a few cases, information on most biological pathways in higher eukaryotes is non-existent, incomplete, or conflicting. # Similar biological pathways differ by tissue context, developmental stages, stimulatory events, or for other complex reasons. This database allows comparisons of different variations of pathways that can be tested empirically. # The goal of this database is to use images created directly by biomedical scientists who are specialists in a particular biological system. It is specifically designed to NOT use average, idealized or redrawn pathways. It does NOT use pathways defined by computer algorithm or information search approaches. # Information on biological pathways in higher eukaryotes generally resides in the images and text of review papers. Much of this information is not easily accessible by current medical reference search engines. # All images are attributable to the original authors. All pathways or other biological systems described are graphic representations of natural systems. Each pathway is to be considered a work in progress. Each carries some degree of error or incompleteness. The end user has the ultimate responsibility to determine the scientific correctness and validity in their particular biological system. Image/pathway submissions are welcome. | eukaryota, gene, gene family, biochemical, biological role, cdna, cdna array, cellular relationship, genomics, macromolecule, protein, proteomics, image, pathway, structure, annotation, cell, macromolecular structure, protein, functional genomics, proteomics | has parent organization: Intramural Research Program | NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research | PMID:11099263 | IMAGES MAY NOT BE USED WITHOUT BOTH THE WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHER AND THE BBID DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR., The community can contribute to this resource | nif-0000-00205 | http://bbid.grc.nia.nih.gov/ | SCR_003474 | SciCrunch Registry | BBID-Biological Biochemical Image Database | 2026-11-07 11:55:20 | 11 | ||||

AFTOL (RRID:SCR_004650) | AFTOL | biospecimen repository, material storage repository, service resource, storage service resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented Jan 13, 2022; To enhance the understanding of the evolution of the Kingdom Fungi, 1500+ species were sampled for eight gene loci across all major fungal clades, plus a subset of taxa for a suite of morphological and ultrastructural characters with resulting data: AFTOL Molecular Database (generated by WASABI - Web Accessible Sequence Analysis for Biological Inference), Blast search the AFTOL Database (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers by species (generated by WASABI), AFTOL alignments, and the AFTOL Structural and Biochemical Database. Users may submit samples to the AFTOL project. AFTOL is a collaboration centered around four universities in the United States: Duke University (Francois Lutzoni and Rytas Vilgalys), Clark University (David Hibbett), Oregon State University (Joey Spatafora), and University of Minnesota (David McLaughlin). Participants throughout the world have donated vouchers, taxon samples, and gene sequences. The aim of the project is to reconstruct the fungal tree of life using all available data for eight loci (nuclear ribosomal DNA: LSU, SSU, ITS (including 5.8s, ITS1 and ITS2); RNA polymerase II: RPB1, RPB2; elongation factor 1-alpha; mitochondrial SSU rDNA, and mitochondrial ATP synthase protein subunit 6). A further objective of this study is to summarize and integrate current knowledge regarding fungal subcellular features within this new phylogenetic framework. The name of the bioinformatic package developed for AFTOL is WASABI which provides an efficient communication platform to facilitate the collection and dissemination of molecular data to (and from) the laboratories and participants. All molecular data can be viewed, downloaded, verified, and corrected by the participants of AFTOL. A central goal of the WASABI interface is to establish an automated analysis framework that includes basecalling of newly generated chromatograms, contig assembly, quality verification of sequences (including a local BLAST), sequence alignment, and congruence test. Gene sequences that pass all tests and are finally verified by their authors will undergo automated phylogenetic analysis on a regular schedule. Although all steps are initially carried out noninteractively, the users can verify and correct the results at any step and thus initiate the reanalysis of dependent data. | cytology, morphology, phylogeny, ultrastructure, primer, alignment, blast, sequence, taxonomy, structure, biochemical, subcellular, organism-related portal, data analysis service, culture, sporocarp, dna, pcr product, molecular, molecule, gene sequence | has parent organization: Oregon State University; Oregon; USA | NSF EF-0228671; NSF 0090301 |

Deciphering Developmental Disorders (RRID:SCR_006171) | DDD | biospecimen repository, data or information resource, disease-related portal, material storage repository, portal, research forum portal, service resource, storage service resource, topical portal | The Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) study aims to find out if using new genetic technologies can help doctors understand why patients get developmental disorders. To do this we have brought together doctors in the 23 NHS Regional Genetics Services throughout the UK and scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a charitably funded research institute which played a world-leading role in sequencing (reading) the human genome. The DDD study involves experts in clinical, molecular and statistical genetics, as well as ethics and social science. It has a Scientific Advisory Board consisting of scientists, doctors, a lawyer and patient representative, and has received National ethical approval in the UK. Over the next few years, we are aiming to collect DNA and clinical information from 12,000 undiagnosed children in the UK with developmental disorders and their parents. The results of the DDD study will provide a unique, online catalogue of genetic changes linked to clinical features that will enable clinicians to diagnose developmental disorders. Furthermore, the study will enable the design of more efficient and cheaper diagnostic assays for relevant genetic testing to be offered to all such patients in the UK and so transform clinical practice for children with developmental disorders. Over time, the work will also improve understanding of how genetic changes cause developmental disorders and why the severity of the disease varies in individuals. The Sanger Institute will contribute to the DDD study by performing genetic analysis of DNA samples from patients with developmental disorders, and their parents, recruited into the study through the Regional Genetics Services. Using microarray technology and the latest DNA sequencing methods, research teams will probe genetic information to identify mutations (DNA errors or rearrangements) and establish if these mutations play a role in the developmental disorders observed in patients. The DDD initiative grew out of the groundbreaking DECIPHER database, a global partnership of clinical genetics centres set up in 2004, which allows researchers and clinicians to share clinical and genomic data from patients worldwide. The DDD study aims to transform the power of DECIPHER as a diagnostic tool for use by clinicians. As well as improving patient care, the DDD team will empower researchers in the field by making the data generated securely available to other research teams around the world. By assembling a solid resource of high-quality, high-resolution and consistent genomic data, the leaders of the DDD study hope to extend the reach of DECIPHER across a broader spectrum of disorders than is currently possible. | microarray, sequencing, child, genome, chromosome, dna sequencing, ethics, interview, dna, saliva, clinical, genetics, gene, diagnosis, phenotype, clinical data, FASEB list |
