Three-dimensional digital connectome atlas of the C57Black/6J mouse brain and catalog of neural tracer injection cases, which will eventually cover the entire brain. Serial sections of each case are available to view at 10x magnification in the interactive iConnectome viewer. The Image Gallery provides a glimpse into some of the highlights of their data set. Representative images of multi-fluorescent tracer labeling can be viewed, while more in depth examination of these and all other cases can be performed in the iConnectome viewer. Phase 1 of this project involves generating a physical map of the basic global wiring diagram by applying proven, state of the art experimental circuit tracing methods systematically, uniformly, and comprehensively to the structural organization of all major neuronal pathways in the mouse brain. Connectivity imaging data for the whole mouse brain at cellular resolution will be presented within a standard 3D anatomic frame available through the website and accompanied by a comprehensive searchable online database. A Phase 2 goal for the future will allow users to view, search, and generate driving direction-like roadmaps of neuronal pathways linking any and all structures in the nervous system. This could be looked on as a pilot project for more ambitious projects in species with larger brains, such as human, and for providing a reliable framework for more detailed local circuitry mapping projects in the mouse.

Tissue and pathology services (ACVP board certified Veterinary Pathologists), full histology services (including immunohistochemistry and frozen sectioning), and protocol development consultation are available. The Pathology and Tissue Program is an integration of comparative pathology activities occurring at the Washington National Primate Research Center and those occurring within the University of Washington Department of Comparative Medicine ((DCM). Using this model, Washington National Primate Research Center pathologists provide routine pathology support for Washington National Primate Research Center animals, with ancillary support, expertise, and guidance provided by DCM pathologists and mission-dedicated technicians and laboratories. This integrated comparative pathology unit also provides an excellent training opportunity for students such as those enrolled in the Department of Comparative Medicine post-doctoral training program, which offers training in laboratory animal medicine and comparative pathology. A particularly important function of this comparative pathology unit is support of the Tissue Distribution Program. The TDP provides a wide variety of nonhuman primate tissues to investigative groups within and outside the WaNPRC. This program is an extremely valuable method of conserving the nonhuman primate resource. NHP tissues and biological materials are collected in preparation for RNA/DNA isolation, cell culture, immunohistochemistry/histology, anatomic dissection, and cell sorting. Capabilities of the TDP include, but are not limited to flash frozen preservation, sterile preparation, perfusion, technical surgical dissections, and OCT embedding. In conjunction with the Histology and Imaging core of the University of Washington DCM, research capabilities post-collection include in situ hybridization, confocal and fluorescent microscopy, live cell imaging (DeltaVision), and whole slide scanning with image analysis (Visiopharm, Nikon Elements, and Image Pro). Centralized coordination of nonhuman primate tissue requests with animal availability allows support for a large number of biomedical programs with significantly decreased impact on the animal resource.

http://www.civm.duhs.duke.edu/neuro2012ratatlas/

Multidimensional atlas of the adult Wistar rat brain based on magnetic resonance histology (MRH). The atlas has been carefully aligned with the widely used Paxinos-Watson atlas based on optical sections to allow comparisons between histochemical and immuno-marker data, and the use of the Paxinos-Watson abbreviation set. Our MR atlas attempts to make a seamless connection with the advantageous features of the Paxinos-Watson atlas, and to extend the utility of the data through the unique capabilities of MR histology: a) ability to view the brain in the skull with limited distortion from shrinkage or sectioning; b) isotropic spatial resolution, which permits sectioning along any arbitrary axis without loss of detail; c) three-dimensional (3D) images preserving spatial relationships; and d) widely varied contrast dependent on the unique properties of water protons. 3D diffusion tensor images (DTI) at what we believe to be the highest resolution ever attained in the rat provide unique insight into white matter structures and connectivity. The 3D isotropic data allow registration of multiple data sets into a common reference space to provide average atlases not possible with conventional histology. The resulting multidimensional atlas that combines Paxinos-Watson with multidimensional MRH images from multiple specimens provides a new, comprehensive view of the neuroanatomy of the rat and offers a collaborative platform for future rat brain studies. To access the atlas, click view supplementary materials in CIVMSpace at the bottom of the following webpage.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 08, 2012. The function of the IMR is to select, import, cryopreserve, maintain, and distribute these important strains of mice to the research community. To improve their value for research, the IMR also undertakes genetic development of stocks, such as transferring mutant genes or transgenes to defined genetic backgrounds and combining transgenes and/or targeted mutations to create new mouse models for research. The function of the IMR is to: * select biomedically important stocks of transgenic, chemically induced, and targeted mutant mice * import these stocks into the Jackson Laboratory by rederivation procedures that rid them of any pathogens they might carry * cryopreserve embryos from these stocks to protect them against accidental loss and genetic contamination * backcross the mutation onto an inbred strain, if necessary * distribute them to the scientific community More than 1000 mutant stocks have been accepted by the IMR from 1992 through December 2006. Current holdings include models for research on cancer; breast cancer; immunological and inflammatory diseases; neurological diseases; behavioral, cardiovascular and heart diseases; developmental, metabolic and other diseases; reporter (e.g., GFP) and recombinase (e.g., cre/loxP) strains. About eight strains a month are being added to the IMR holdings. Research is being conducted on improved methods for assisted reproduction and speed congenic production. Most of the targeted mutants arrive on a mixed 129xC57BL/6 genetic background, and as many of these as possible are backcrossed onto an inbred strain (usually C57BL/6J). In addition, new mouse models are being created by intercrossing carriers of specific transgenes and/or targeted mutations. Simple sequence length polymorphism DNA markers are being used to characterize and evaluate differences between inbred strains, substrains, and embryonic stem cell lines.

http://meme.nbcr.net/meme/cgi-bin/gomo.cgi

Gene Ontology for Motifs (GOMO) is an alignment- and threshold-free comparative genomics approach for assigning functional roles to DNA regulatory motifs from DNA sequence. The algorithm detects associations between a user-specified DNA regulatory motif (expressed as a position weight matrix; PWM) and Gene Ontology terms. The original method for predicting the roles of transcription factors (TFs starts with a PWM motif describing the DNA-binding affinity of the TF. GOMO uses the PWM to score the promoter region of each gene in the genome for its likelihood to be bound by the TF. The resulting ''''affinity'''' scores are then used to test each term in the Gene Ontology for association with high-scoring genes. The algorithm was subsequently extended to leverage conserved signals using multiple, related species in a comparative approach, which greatly improves the resulting annotations. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.ctspedia.org/do/view/CTSpedia

CTSpedia is a national effort to collect wisdom, tools, educational materials, and other items useful for clinical and translational researchers and to provide timely and useful advice to clinical and translational researchers with specific problems. The CTSpedia is a collaborative vehicle for the CTSA''s Biostatistics/Epidemiology/Research/Design (BERD) Online Resources and Education taskforce to identify and share resources across the national consortium and community researchers world-wide. With the support of the national BERD consortia, the project obtained funding and support from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) to expand the original scope and content of CTSpedia and foster collaboration amongst CTSAs. The main goal of CTSpedia.org is to create a definable academic home on the internet for the discipline of clinical and translational sciences across the country and the world. * While the CTSA consortium serves the onsite physical level of the institutions involved, CTSpedia.org seeks to fill the gaps where the network is lacking, and to augment that network as the central hub for the peer to peer sharing of knowledge and resources. * While the CTSA national scope comes to fruition, the international scope of the consortia is more readily facilitated with an online resource like CTSpedia. * Utilizing the collaborative nature of the wiki-style website, CTSpedia.org allows for researchers anywhere in the world to ask questions and receive answers and related information in a timely and efficient manner, overcoming the logistical issues of distance and scheduling. * The streamlined availability of an online resource and knowledge repository will aid in addressing common issues that arise in clinical research, which will filter out consultation requests for minor questions, allowing for CTSA consultants to address more prevalent consultations.
