Developed for Allen Reference Atlas and follows terminology from Brain Maps: Structure for the Rat Brain (Swanson, 2004, 2018). The ontology has been subsequently extended and revised to also serve as structure ontology for Allen Mouse Common Coordinate Framework.Defines hierarchical partonomy of anatomical structures of adult mouse brain. At top level, brain is divided into gray matter, fiber tracts and ventricular systems. Gray matter is subdivided into cerebrum, brain stem, and cerebellum, which are themselves organized into subregions in hierarchical tree.

Of 11,580 total genes associated with resources, the ten most represented are associated with 359 distinct resources. The main method by which they currently interconnect resources between the providers is via EntrezGene identifiers. A total of 780 unique genes provide the connectivity between 3,159 resource pairs across consortia. To further increase interconnectivity, the groups have been further annotating their data with additional gene identifiers, publications, and ontology terms from selected Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO).

http://www.brainarchitecture.org/mouse-home

An atlas project whose goal is to enerate brainwide maps of inter-regional neural connectivity that specify the inputs and outputs of every brain region, at a "mesoscopic" level of analysis. A 3D injection viewer is used to view the mouse brain. To determine the outputs of a brain region, anterograde tracers are used which are taken up by neurons locally ("the input"), then transported actively down the axons to the "output regions." The whole brain is then sliced thinly, and each slice is digitally imaged. These 2-D images are reconstructed in 3D. The majority of the resulting 3-D brain image is unlabeled. Only the injected region and its output regions have tracer in them, allowing for identification of this small fraction of the connectivity map. This procedure is repeated identically, to account for individual variability. To determine the inputs to the same brain region as above, a retrograde tracer is injected in the same stereotaxic location ("the input"), and the process is repeated. In order to accumulate data from different mice (each of whom has a slightly different brain shape and size), 3-D spatial normalization is performed using registration algorithms. These gigapixel images of whole-brain sections can be zoomed to show individual neurons and their processes, providing a "virtual microscope." Each sampled brain is represented in about 500 images, each image showing an optical section through a 20 micron-thick slice of brain tissue. A multi-resolution viewer permits users to journey through each brain, following the pathways taken through three-dimensional brain space by tracer-labeled neuronal pathways. A key point is that at the mid-range "mesoscopic" scale, the team expects to assemble a picture of connections that are stereotypical and probably genetically determined in a species-specific manner. By dividing the volume of a hemisphere of the mouse brain into 250 equidistant, predefined grid-points, and administering four different kinds of tracer injections at each grid point -- in different animals of the same sex and age a complete wiring diagram that will be stitched together in "shotgun" fashion from the full dataset.

https://www.bioconductor.org/packages//2.12/bioc/html/dexus.html

Software package that identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. It works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. It does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power.

https://github.com/Ensembl

Public database that stores areas of genome that differ between individual genomes (variants) and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information. Different types of variants for several species: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short nucleotide insertions and/or deletions, and longer variants classified as structural variants (including CNVs). Effects of variants on the Ensembl transcripts and regulatory features for each species are predicted. You can run same analysis on your own data using Variant Effect Predictor. These data are integrated with other data sources in Ensembl, and can be accessed using the API or website. For several different species in Ensembl, they import variation data (SNPs, CNVs, allele frequencies, genotypes, etc) from a variety of sources (e.g. dbSNP). Imported variants and alleles are subjected to quality control process to flag suspect data. In human, they calculate linkage disequilibrium for each variant, by population.

http://ancora.genereg.net/

Web resource that provides data and tools for exploring genomic organization of highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) for multiple genomes. It includes a genome browser that shows HCNE locations and features novel HCNE density plots as a powerful tool to discover developmental regulatory genes and distinguish their regulatory elements and domains. They identify HCNEs as non-exonic regions of high similarity between genome sequences from distantly related organisms, such as human and fish, and provide tools for studying the distribution of HCNEs along chromosomes. Major peaks of HCNE density along chromosomes most often coincide with developmental regulatory genes. Their aim with this site is to aid discovery of developmental regulatory genes, their regulatory domains and their fundamental regulatory elements.
