BioBank that collects, stores, processes and distributes biospecimens and the associated data. The biospecimens are human and non-human genetic materials, proteins, cells, tissues and biofluids. The data are the biological information associated to the samples and, in the case of human samples, the clinical information pertaining to the donor. The da Vinci European BioBank (daVEB) is a multicenter biobank with a centralized IT infrastructure and a main repository located at the Polo Scientifico (Scientific Campus of the University of Florence) in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence, Italy). Hosted by the Magnetic Resonance Center (CERM), an expert center on protein structure and metabolomics, daVEB's aim is to host as rich as possible biological human sample collections, stored accordingly to EU guidelines, in order to offer a powerful tool in the study of complex diseases. At the end of July 2011, the da Vinci European BioBank of the Pharmacogenomics FiorGen Onlus Foundation has been audited and got the quality certification according to UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 for Collection, storage and distribution of biological samples and the associated data for scientific research. Besides the samples stored at da Vinci European BioBank in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence), the daVEB is also the administrative biobank for research sample collections that are stored in the delocalized repositories. All the sample collections must be registered in the biobank: * sample collections taken within the regular health care * samples taken from healthy individuals or other persons out of the regular health care * samples that have been taken in hospitals within research protocols on specific pathologies all transferred to daVEB endowed with a transfer agreement signed by the donor. The Research Units actually afferent to daVEB are delocalized in the Florence, Prato, Pisa and Siena provinces. Delocalized repositories are under construction in Tuscany.

http://www.chr7.org

Database containing the DNA sequence and annotation of the entire human chromosome 7, encompassing nearly 158 million nucleotides of DNA and 1917 gene structures, are presented; the most up to date collation of sequence, gene, and other annotations from all databases (eg. Celera published, NCBI, Ensembl, RIKEN, UCSC) as well as unpublished data. To generate a higher order description, additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease. The objective of this project is to generate a comprehensive description of human chromosome 7 to facilitate biological discovery, disease gene research and medical genetic applications. There are over 360 disease-associated genes or loci on chromosome 7. A major challenge ahead will be to represent chromosome alterations, variants, and polymorphisms and their related phenotypes (or lack thereof), in an accessible way. In addition to being a primary data source, this site serves as a weighing station for testing community ideas and information to produce highly curated data to be submitted to other databases such as NCBI, Ensembl, and UCSC. Therefore, any useful data submitted will be curated and shown in this database. All Chromosome 7 genomic clones (cosmids, BACs, YACs) listed in GBrowser and in other data tables are freely distributed.

http://davinci.crg.es/deafness/

Database and data set of known mutations in connexins related to deafness with associated information including published work and classification scheme. Users may submit new mutations. A large number of subjects are affected by hearing impairment. In developed countries deafness has an important genetic origin and at least 60% of the cases are inherited. The pattern of inheritance can be dominant, recessive, X-linked and mitochondrial. Many genes are involved in the different types of deafness (syndromic and non-syndromic). Non-syndromic hereditary deafness is mainly (80%) due to recessive genes (or mutations). It is believed that more than one hundred genes could be involved in hearing impairment. Several of these genes have been identified recently by positional cloning or positional candidate gene approaches. Despite the fact that more than 20 loci have been described for non-syndromic autosomal recessive deafness (DFNB), a single locus, DFNB1, accounts for a high proportion of the cases, with variability depending on the population. The gene involved in this type of deafness is GJB2, which encodes the gap junction protein connexin 26(Cx26). NEW Recent data indicates that DFNB1 can also be due to a deletion of 342Kb involving GJB6, a gene that is very close to GJB2. This deletion has been reported to cause deafness both in the homozygous status and in heterozygosity with a GJB2 point mutation in trans (see big deletions affecting connexin genes...). Connexins are transmembrane proteins that form channels allowing rapid transport of ions or small molecules between cells. There are two types of connexins, alpha and beta, named GJA or GJB followed by a number. Connexins are expressed in many different tissues. Other connexin genes are also involved in deafness. These are GJB1 (Cx32), which is also responsible for X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type I; GJB3 (Cx31), involved in both deafness or a skin disease, erythrokeratodermia variabilis, depending on the location of the mutation; GJB6 (Cx30), which has been related to a dominant type of deafness in an Italian family and NEW GJA1 (Cx43), which has recently been shown to be involved in recessive deafness.

http://senselab.med.yale.edu/ordb/

Database of vertebrate olfactory receptors genes and proteins. It supports sequencing and analysis of these receptors by providing a comprehensive archive with search tools for this expanding family. The database also incorporates a broad range of chemosensory genes and proteins, including the taste papilla receptors (TPRs), vomeronasal organ receptors (VNRs), insect olfaction receptors (IORs), Caenorhabditis elegans chemosensory receptors (CeCRs), and fungal pheromone receptors (FPRs). ORDB currently houses chemosensory receptors for more than 50 organisms. ORDB contains public and private sections which provide tools for investigators to analyze the functions of these very large gene families of G protein-coupled receptors. It also provides links to a local cluster of databases of related information in SenseLab, and to other relevant databases worldwide. The database aims to house all of the known olfactory receptor and chemoreceptor sequences in both nucleotide and amino acid form and serves four main purposes: * It is a repository of olfactory receptor sequences. * It provides tools for sequence analysis. * It supports similarity searches (screens) which reduces duplicate work. * It provides links to other types of receptor information, e.g. 3D models. The database is accessible to two classes of users: * General public www users have full access to all the public sequences, models and resources in the database. * Source laboratories are the laboratories that clone olfactory receptors and submit sequences in the private or public database. They can search any sequence they deposited to the database against any private or public sequence in the database. This user level is suited for laboratories that are actively cloning olfactory receptors.
