The Microbe Division in RIKEN-BRC has been collecting, preserving, and distributing cultured microbial strains as one of the leading culture collections in the world since established as Japan Collection of Microorganisms (JCM) in 1981. JCM aims to contribute to scientific communities by maintaining and serving high-quality microbial resources useful for general microbial studies and various research fields particularly in health and environmental science. JCM has participated in the National BioResource Project supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan as the core facility for General Microbes. JCM maintains approximately 19,900 strains as of Sept. 2010, and the approximate numbers of the available strains from JCM are: 7,400 strains of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria including actinomycetes, 300 strains of archaea, and 4,100 strains of fungi including yeasts (in total ca. 12,000 strains). Strains held at JCM are limited to those classified in Risk Group 1 or 2. Information of the available strains is opened to the public through the JCM On-line Catalogue Database. Genomic DNA samples of some strains are also distributed in cooperation with RIKEN BRC-DNA Bank. More than 3,500 strains are annually distributed to domestic and overseas researchers. JCM welcomes a deposit of microbial strains published or designed to be published in scientific papers as well as an order for microbial cultures.

The National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank is a collection of biological samples and clinical information used by qualified scientists to further the field of psoriasis genetics. Once completed, the National Psoriasis BioBank will be the largest collection of psoriasis DNA samples in the world, moving us closer to understanding the causes of psoriatic diseases, discovering more and better treatments and finding a cure. The BioBank is currently collecting DNA from people with and without psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis. Simply by donating your DNA����??a blood sample and a swab of your cheek cells����??and providing us with your medical history, you can help us find a cure. Samples will be processed and stored at a private laboratory and not at the National Psoriasis Foundation. The National Psoriasis BioBank is part of the Genetic Alliance BioBank (GA BioBank), a centralized repository for the collection, storage and distribution of biological samples (including DNA, serum, cells and tissues) and clinical data for genetic researchers.

Neuroinformatics (NI) is a new discipline that challenges the understanding of the structure and mechanism of the brain by combining neuroscience and information technology. The global collaborations in this field have been actively started with the support of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) launched in November 2005. The Laboratory for Neuroinformatics at RIKEN Brain Science Institute (BSI) is involved in developing various cutting-edge technologies related to NI such as XooNIps. XooNIps succeeded the concept and basic feature of the vision science platform; Visiome, constructed by the NRV (i.e., Neuroinformatics Research in Vision) Project and has been developed based on a content management system (CMS); XOOPS, as infrastructure for NI databases to share different types of data on the Internet. :XooNIps has three features: :The first is the flexibility of developing databases. CMS-based XooNIps makes it easy to change the design or to extend the functions of databases by combining the different modules available on XOOPS. Therefore, even those who are not expert in computer system can develop their database on XooNIps. :The second is the diversity and extensibility of the data which can be handled by XooNIps. In order to handle different types of actual data, it provides not only the various data forms per se, but also the extension method to handle a new data form, which enables to deal easily with even a non-standardized data form. :The third is the facility to distribute metadata. XooNIps implements OAI-PMH (i.e., Open Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) which is one of the standard protocols to distribute metadata. This enables to collect information on other databases which are developed on XooNIps or to coordinate databases by exchanging metadata with other databases which implement OAI-PMH than those on XooNIps. :Since April 2007, Neuroinformatics Japan Center (NIJC) at RIKEN BSI takes charge of extending and maintaining XooNIps, and is committed to manage the documentation hereafter. :NIJC, as a national node of INCF, is developing and operating various NI platforms in neuroscience based on XooNIps to establish and facilitate NI research in Japan. XooNIps is also being applied to databases or organizational repositories in several institutions and universities, and laboratory groupware in various fields. We hope XooNIps will be of universal use in and out of Japan. :database; binary executable; software development tool; metadata; data set; :

Biomedical technology resource center specializing in novel approaches and tools for neuroimaging. It develops novel strategies to investigate brain structure and function in their full multidimensional complexity. There is a rapidly growing need for brain models comprehensive enough to represent brain structure and function as they change across time in large populations, in different disease states, across imaging modalities, across age and sex, and even across species. International networks of collaborators are provided with a diverse array of tools to create, analyze, visualize, and interact with models of the brain. A major focus of these collaborations is to develop four-dimensional brain models that track and analyze complex patterns of dynamically changing brain structure in development and disease, expanding investigations of brain structure-function relations to four dimensions.

Characteristics of NIA 15K Mouse cDNA Clone Set * ~15,000 unique cDNA clones were rearrayed among 52,374 ESTs from pre- and periimplantation embryos, E12.5 female gonad/mesonephros, and newborn ovary. * Up to 50% are derived from novel genes. * ~1.5 kb average insert size. * Clones were sequenced from 5' and 3' termini to obtain longer reads and verify sequence. Sequence information is available at this Web Site. Clone names are from H3001A01 to H3159G07. * Handling of NIA 15k cDNA Clone Set(June3, 2000) Characteristics of NIA mouse 7.4K cDNA Clone Set * ~7407 cDNA clones with no redundancy within the set or with NIA Mouse 15K. * ~1.5 kb average insert size for short insert clones and ~2.5-3.0 kb average insert size for long-insert enriched clones.. * Clones were sequenced from 5' and 3' termini to obtain longer reads and verify sequence. Sequence information is available at this Web Site. Clone names are from H4001A01 to H4079G07. * Handling of NIA mouse 7.4k cDNA Clone Set (similar to handling of NIA mouse 15K, to be updated) Individual Clones are available from ATCC and MRC geneservice, UK. To obtain Clone, search the database using either the rearrayed clone name or GenBank accession number at the Key Word Search page. Follow the link to the sequence information page for the rearrayed clone to obtain source clone ATCC number. Clicking the ATCC number will bring up the ATCC ordering page for the source clone. There is essentially no overlap between the two clone sets (7.4K and 15K) said Minoru S.H. Ko, M.D., Ph.D., head of the Developmental Genomics and Aging Section in the NIA's Laboratory of Genetics. In addition, all cDNA clones in the NIA 7.4K set were purified by single colony isolation and sequence-verified, and more than half were prepared by a new procedure that yields long full-length cDNAs (average size 3-4 kb).
