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.

http://scirus.com/

Science-specific search engine with over 575 million scientific items indexed at last count (May 2013), it allows researchers to search for not only journal content but also scientists'' homepages, courseware, pre-print server material, patents and institutional repository and website information. Scirus helps you quickly locate scientific information on the Web: * Filters out non-scientific sites. For example, if you search on REM, Google finds the rock group - Scirus finds information on sleep, among other things * Finds peer-reviewed articles such as PDF and PostScript files, which are often invisible to other search engines. * Searches the most comprehensive combination of web information, preprint servers, digital archives, repositories and patent and journal databases. Scirus goes deeper than the first two levels of a Web site, thereby revealing much more relevant information. Scirus has proved so successful at locating science-specific results on the Web that the Search Engine Watch Awards voted Scirus ''Best Specialty Search Engine'' in 2001 and 2002 and ''Best Directory or Search Engine Website'' WebAward from Web Marketing Association in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Give your Web site greater functionality and enhance the experience of your users, by adding Scirus to your home page for free. Scirus uses the latest in search engine technology to pinpoint precise scientific information that other search engines can not reach, including pdf files and peer reviewed articles. Make your Web site more visible to the scientific community, by submitting it for inclusion on Scirus. You will increase the chance of scientists finding your site when looking for information and you could increase your visitor rate.

http://www.psoriasis.org/netcommunity/act_biobank

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.

http://www.fruitfly.org

Database on the sequence of the euchromatic genome of Drosophila melanogaster In addition to genomic sequencing, the BDGP is 1) producing gene disruptions using P element-mediated mutagenesis on a scale unprecedented in metazoans; 2) characterizing the sequence and expression of cDNAs; and 3) developing informatics tools that support the experimental process, identify features of DNA sequence, and allow us to present up-to-date information about the annotated sequence to the research community. Resources * Universal Proteomics Resource: Search for clones for expression and tissue culture * Materials: Request genomic or cDNA clones, library filters or fly stocks * Download Sequence data sets and annotations in fasta or xml format by http or ftp * Publications: Browse or download BDGP papers * Methods: BDGP laboratory protocols and vector maps * Analysis Tools: Search sequences for CRMs, promoters, splice sites, and gene predictions * Apollo: Genome annotation viewer and editor September 15, 2009 Illumina RNA-Seq data from 30 developmental time points of D. melanogaster has been submitted to the Short Read Archive at NCBI as part of the modENCODE project. The data set currently contains 2.2 billion single-end and paired reads and over 201 billion base pairs.

http://brainhealthregistry.org/

A website aimed at recruiting and assessing subjects for all types of neuroscience studies with the internet. The hope is to accelerate various types of observational studies and clinical trials, and also reduce costs. They are interested in having people, including healthy subjects of all ages, join the registry. Joining only takes a few minutes. The web-based project is designed to speed up cures for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other brain disorders. It uses online questionnaires and online neuropsychological tests (which are very much like online brain games).
