The Brain Biodiversity Bank refers to the repository of images of and information about brain specimens contained in the collections associated with the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. Atlases and brain sections are available for a variety of mammals, and we are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. These collections include, besides the Michigan State University Collection, the Welker Collection from the University of Wisconsin, the Yakovlev-Haleem Collection from Harvard University, the Meyer Collection from the Johns Hopkins University, and the Huber-Crosby and Crosby-Lauer Collections from the University of Michigan. What we are doing currently at Michigan State is a series of demonstration projects for publicizing the contents of the collections and ways in which they can be used. For example, the images from the collection can be used for comparative brain study. We have prepared databases of the contents of the collections for presentation and use on this site, as well as for downloading by users in several formats. We are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. This internet site is associated with the Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections site. All of the images are in JPEG or GIF format.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 26, 2019.

Database of published microarray gene expression data, and a software tool for comparing that published data to a user''''s own microarray results. It is very simple to use - all you need is a web browser and a list of the probes that went up or down in your experiment. If you find L2L useful please consider contributing your published data to the L2L Microarray Database in the form of list files. L2L finds true biological patterns in gene expression data by systematically comparing your own list of genes to lists of genes that have been experimentally determined to be co-expressed in response to a particular stimulus - in other words, published lists of microarray results. The patterns it finds can point to the underlying disease process or affected molecular function that actually generated the observed changed in gene expression. Its insights are far more systematic than critical gene analyses, and more biologically relevant than pure Gene Ontology-based analyses. The publications included in the L2L MDB initially reflected topics thought to be related to Cockayne syndrome: aging, cancer, and DNA damage. Since then, the scope of the publications included has expanded considerably, to include chromatin structure, immune and inflammatory mediators, the hypoxic response, adipogenesis, growth factors, hormones, cell cycle regulators, and others. Despite the parochial origins of the database, the wide range of topics covered will make L2L of general interest to any investigator using microarrays to study human biology. In addition to the L2L Microarray Database, L2L contains three sets of lists derived from Gene Ontology categories: Biological Process, Cellular Component, and Molecular Function. As with the L2L MDB, each GO sub-category is represented by a text file that contains annotation information and a list of the HUGO symbols of the genes assigned to that sub-category or any of its descendants. You don''''t need to download L2L to use it to analyze your microarray data. There is an easy-to-use web-based analysis tool, and you have the option of downloading your results so you can view them at any time on your own computer, using any web browser. However, if you prefer, the entire L2L project, and all of its components, can be downloaded from the download page. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

We are an interdisciplinary team dedicated to annotating gene function related to human fetal development. We are contributing new functional annotation to the Gene Ontology, curating and mining gene sets suitable for the interpretation of developmental genomic data, and creating the computational tools needed to apply genomics for better understanding the molecular mechanisms of human development. Our GO annotation is in the process of being incorporated into the GOA public release. The GONE (Gene Ontology Non-Eligible) database is where we store annotations relevant to our research but that don''t quite meet GOA''s standards. Usually an annotation falls into this category because either the gene/protein described is a family of genes/proteins rather than a specific one, there is no UniProt ID to identify the gene/protein in the system, a GO term does not yet exist to describe the particular function, process, or location of the gene/protein, the species is not clearly identifiable in the paper, or the evidence is not as reliable (GO evidence codes TAS and NAS). As individual annotations these are more suspect than current GO annotation. However, for functional analysis of expression data, these gene sets can be valuable even with a certain amount of noise. We also include here a link to the supplementary data from our forthcoming PSB 2011 paper on gene set mining.

http://vega.sanger.ac.uk/

Central repository for high quality frequently updated manual annotation of vertebrate finished genome sequence. Human, mouse and zebrafish are in the process of being completely annotated, whereas for other species the annotation is only of specific genomic regions of particular biological interest. The majority of the annotation is from the HAVANA group at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute. Users can BLAST, search for specific text, export, and download data. Genomes and details of the projects for each species are available through the homepages for human mouse and zebrafish. The website is built upon code from the EnsEMBL (http://www.ensembl.org) project. Some Ensembl features are not available in Vega. From the users point of view perhaps the most significant of these is MartView. However due to their inclusion in Ensembl, Vega human and mouse data can be queried using Ensembl MartView. Vega contains annotation of the human MHC region in eight haplotypes, and the LRC region in three haplotypes. Vega also contains annotation on the Insulin Dependent Diabetes (IDD) regions on non-reference assemblies for mouse.

http://mmil.ucsd.edu/

An interdisciplinary group of scientists and clinicians who study the human brain using a variety of imaging, recording, and computational techniques. Their primary goal is to bridge non-invasive imaging technologies to the underlying neurophysiology of brain neuronal circuits for a better understanding of healthy human brain function, and mechanisms of disruption of this function in diseases such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy and stroke. The other goal of the MMIL is to develop and apply advanced imaging techniques to understanding the human brain and its disorders. In order to ground these methodological developments in their underlying neurobiology, invasive studies in humans and animals involving optical and micro physiological measures are also performed. These methodologies are applied to understanding normal function in sleep, memory and language, development and aging, and diseases such as dementia, epilepsy and autism.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2022. Human Gut Microbiome Initiative (HGMI) seeks to provide simply annotated, deep draft genome sequences for 100 cultured representatives of the phylogenetic diversity documented by 16S rRNA surveys of the human gut microbiota. Humans are supra-organisms, composed of 10 times more microbial cells than human cells. Therefore, it seems appropriate to consider ourselves as a composite of many species - human, bacterial, and archaeal - and our genome as an amalgamation of human genes and the genes in ''our'' microbial genomes (''microbiome''). In the same sense, our metabolome can be considered to be a synthesis of co-evolved human and microbial traits. The total number of genes present in the human microbiome likely exceeds the number of our H. sapiens genes by orders of magnitude. Thus, without an understanding of our microbiota and microbiome, it not possible to obtain a complete picture of our genetic diversity and of our normal physiology. Our intestine is home to our largest collections of microbes: bacterial densities in the colon (up to 1 trillion cells/ml of luminal contents) are the highest recorded for any known ecosystem. The vast majority of phylogenetic types in the distal gut microbiota belong to just two divisions (phyla) of the domain Bacteria - the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes. Members of eight other divisions have also been identified using culture-independent 16S rRNA gene-based surveys. Metagenomic studies of complex microbial communities residing in our various body habitats are limited by the availability of suitable reference genomes for confident assignment of short sequence reads generated by highly parallel DNA sequencers, and by knowledge of the professions (niches) of community members. Therefore, HGMI, which represents a collaboration between Washington University''s Genome Center and its Center for Genome Sciences, seeks to provide simply annotated, deep draft genome sequences for 100 cultured representatives of the phylogenetic diversity documented by 16S rRNA surveys of the human gut microbiota.
