THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE,documented on January,18, 2022. FaceBase Biorepository is now collecting biological samples from people with cleft lip/palate and their family members. Information for Prospective Cases: Clefts of the lip and/or palate can be caused by a wide range of genetic, environmental and other factors. The FaceBase Biorepository will serve as a common source of both biological samples and information that can be made available to investigators trying to determine the underlying cause of these common birth defects. Genetic studies, in particular, will benefit from both family history information and having samples from affected individuals as well as their family members. DNA is the information containing molecules found in all the cells of our body and can be easily obtained from material such as blood or saliva samples. As part of the FaceBase Biorepository, we are requesting families to submit biological samples from specific family members as well as information from other family members that might be affected with either the same condition or a similar condition. The medical and family history information that is collected includes other relevant information such as exposure to possible environmental causes during pregnancy. The biorepository is managed by Nichole Nidey, a research study coordinator, and Jeff Murray, a pediatric clinical geneticist and researcher. They are available to speak with family members regarding questions they may have, including providing information about the biorepository and making arrangements for the collection of samples for those who wish to participate. All participation is voluntary. Your name or other personally identifiable information (name, address, etc) will be removed before information is placed in the biorepository. Summary data to show how the database itself has been used overall as well as updates on whether specific findings might have been made using this database will be available on the FaceBase website at www.facebase.org. A newsletter containing this information will also be given to families and referring clinicians so that they may discuss the specifics with the families if there appears to be information that might be relevant in a particular case. Families will also need to sign a consent form that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Iowa. Also, any submitted samples or data can also be removed from the database at any time should the family no longer wish to participate. Investigators interested in requesting DNA samples or for more information, please contact cleftresearch (at) uiowa.edu, Nichole Nidey, nichole-nidey (at) uiowa.edu or (319) 353-4365, or Jeff Murray, jeff-murray (at) uiowa.edu.

http://www.nia.nih.gov/research/nonhuman-primate-tissue-bank-handbook

A repository of tissue collected from nonhuman primate (NHP) species under contractual arrangement with Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WI NPRC). NIA''''s Nonhuman Primate Tissue Bank collects and archives tissue from necropsies performed at primate centers nationwide. The goal is to collect various tissues from aged monkeys with smaller amounts of the same tissues from young and middle-aged monkeys. Tissue will be provided as: (1) fresh frozen, stored at ����?��������??80 degrees Celsius; (2) formalin fixed; or (3) fresh frozen tissue in OCT medium.Most frozen tissues are provided in approximately 1 gram of tissue per vial. Fixed tissue is available as slides (sections) from paraffin-embedded blocks. Slides can be stained if requested. Tissue from NIA''''s Nonhuman Primate Tissue Bank is available to investigators at academic and nonprofit research institutions who are engaged in funded research on aging. The project name and funding source must accompany all orders. The NIA will not be able to ship non-human primate tissue outside of the United States or US territories. Investigators at for-profit entities are not eligible to purchase tissue from NIA''''s Nonhuman Primate Tissue Bank unless it is for a Small Business Innovation Research grant from NIA. NIA provides the health information as given by the donor site and cannot guarantee other aspects of the health status not explicitly stated in the Vital Statistics Information Sheet. Concerns about the specific health status of donor animals should be indicated on the order form.

http://murphylab.web.cmu.edu/services/SLIF/

SLIF finds fluorescence microscope images in on-line journal articles, and indexes them according to cell line, proteins visualized, and resolution. Images can be accessed via the SLIF Web database. SLIF takes on-line papers and scans them for figures that contain fluorescence microscope images (FMIs). Figures typically contain multiple FMIs, to SLIF must segment these images into individual FMIs. When the FMI images are extracted, annotations for the images (for instance, names of proteins and cell-lines) are also extracted from the accompanying caption text. Protein annotation are also used to link to external databases, such as the Gene Ontology DB. The more detailed process includes: segmentation of images into panels; panel classification, to find FMIs; segmentation of the caption, to find which portions of the caption apply to which panels; text-based entity extraction; matching of extracted entities to database entries; extraction of panel labels from text and figures; and alignment of the text segments to the panels. Extracted FMIs are processed to find subcellular location features (SLFs), and the resulting analyzed, annotated figures are stored in a database, which is accessible via SQL queries.
