The goal of this project is the creation of an extensive biomaterials bank. Materials (blood, serum, plasma, DNA) from all patients who participate in studies in the network will be collected for this purpose. The objective is a consistently high quality standard for the processing, storage and management of all samples. The biomaterials bank is an investment in the future by the network. It enables the competence network and the research community in general to acquire new scientific knowledge about the development, progression and prognosis of the different forms of heart failure. Each time a patient is documented in a study in the competence network, blood (EDTA whole blood and serum) is drawn from the patient, sent by post to the central biomaterials bank and processed there in the central incoming sample laboratory according to specified standards. In the first two subsidization periods, a total of 100,000 samples from approximately 10,000 patients was documented and processed (aliquoting, DNA extraction). These samples are stored in climate-controlled rooms used especially for this purpose at the biomaterial bank of the Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC) in Berlin-Buch at temperatures between -20 and -80 degrees C. As the central infrastructure project for all samples, the biomaterials bank is deeply involved in the networking. There are also intensive collaborations with other competence networks (e.g. the Competence Network for Congenital Heart Defects) and biobanks. The biomaterial bank of the Heart Failure Competence Network also participates in domestic and European pilot projects for networking biomaterial banks (BBMRI, ESFRI, etc.). The goal of these projects is to develop uniform methods for sample processing and use.

PROCAP is a study of the importance of lifestyle and genetic factors in the progression of localized cancer of the prostate. Our study hypothesis is that the likelihood of disease recurrence of prostate cancer is modified or determined by genetic variation in the human genome and/or lifestyle factors. To be able to test our hypothesis, we are using a large, population-based cohort of men with localized prostate cancer in Sweden, recruited in 1997-2002, from which detailed clinical information and data on progression already have been collected. From this cohort, we are collecting lifestyle data and blood samples from 8,500 men. If men with progressive prostate cancer could be identified on their genetic make-up, they could be given additional therapies targeted specifically at prostate cancer progression or monitored even more frequently so that progressions could be treated even earlier. If lifestyle factors are important, these results have an impact on recommendations given to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. In the study, we are asking the study persons to fill in an Internet-based questionnaire focusing on diet and physical activity and we ask them to leave 2 test tubes of blood at their local urologist/health care center. The pilot study has recently been completed and evaluated and the remaining 7,500 men in the cohort will be included during 2007 and 2008. So far, we have a response rate of approximately 85% on the blood samples. The response rate for the questionnaire is approximately 80% (both in the web based and paper based versions combined). Genotyping and analysis will begin in the fall of 2008. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * Plasma * DNA Number of sample donors: 5492 (sample collection completed)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. We have completed the recruitment of this population-based prostate cancer case-control study, one of the largest prostate cancer case-control study populations available so far. This study population was recruited in two phases. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were the same for the first (CAPS1) and second phase (CAPS2), except for the timeframe. In total, 3,030 cases and 1,960 controls participated in CAPS donating blood samples and answering a questionnaire during 2001-2003. In addition we have detailed clinical information on all 3,000 cases. With data generated from CAPS we have 25 published papers and 10 manuscripts since 2004. During 2006 we completed a record linkage to the Cause of Death Registry to determine the cause of death for all participants. We could conclude that 347 of the cases in CAPS had died of prostate cancer. The CAPS study has provided data to several new studies on markers on prostate cancer progression. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * DNA Number of sample donors: 5015 (sample collection completed)

NIH initiative to support production of cDNA libraries, clones and 5'/3' sequences and to provide set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. Clones distribution is outsourced to for profit companies. Project concluded in September 2008. Resources generated by XGC are publicly accessible to biomedical research community. All sequences are deposited into GenBank.Corresponding clones are available through IMAGE clone distribution network. With conclusion of XGC project, GenBank records of XGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since knowledge of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have XGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order XGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

One Mind for Research''s plan to work smarter and share resources through public and private partnerships has the power to help us make more progress on every brain disorder from schizophrenia to traumatic brain injury. In the process, we will increase the investment in research by $1.5 billion each year for the next 10 years. And achieve a minimum 10% reduction in the cost of brain disease per year. This is how neurological cures that once seemed beyond our reach begin to take shape. When we''re all of one mind working toward the same goal, anything can be accomplished. $8 billion a year is spent on brain research, but the minimum cost of brain disease is one hundred times that. Yet amazingly, unlocking the mysteries of the human brain has less to do with resources than it does their coordination. Because though there is science, it exists in many different silos. There has never been a single organization that brings together the science, technology, financial resources and knowledge required to create an unprecedented understanding of brain disease. Until now. The One Mind for Research Forum began on May 23, 2011 and over the course of 2 days, the best and brightest from around the world gathered as part of a national collaboration of research universities, scientists, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Directors as they imagined an ambitious 10-year plan for neuroscience research. One Mind believes that new treatments and cures for neurological and psychiatric diseases that afflict one in three Americans, from children with autism to senior citizens with Alzheimer''s disease, are all within reach.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on January 08, 2013. A consortium of three facilities whose purpose is to establish, characterize, and distribute novel mutant mouse models with neural and/or behavioral phenotypes, and distribute them to the worldwide research community. Interested scientists are able to obtain information about mouse lines at all three sites in a single unified database. GOALS * Increase genomic and genetic tools for functional gene identification * Provide mice with mutations that alter the nervous system or behavior * Build collaborations between geneticists and neuroscientists The consortium is made up of three mutagenesis and phenotypic screening facilities, focused on identifying alterations in nervous system function and behavior, and established by NIH. They are the Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility at The Jackson Laboratory, and the Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium. The NIH Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University is directed by Dr. Joseph S. Takahashi, who also acts as the Director of the Neuromice.org consortium. Chemical mutagenesis is used to induce mutations throughout the genome and combined with phenotypic screens to detect mice with mutations. In order to maximize the genomic coverage and recover both dominant and recessive mutations, a dominant G1 screen and a recessive G3 screen are utilized. Phenotypic screens focus on five primary domains: learning and memory, behavioral responses to stress, responses to psychostimulants, circadian rhythmicity, and vision. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility at the Jackson Laboratory is directed by Dr. Wayne N. Frankel. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility is using a three-generation backcross breeding scheme to produce homozygous mutants and will thus recover dominant, semidominant, and recessive mutations. In addition, some mutagenesis will be done in ES cells followed by two generations of breeding. Phenotypic screens focus on identifying mutations affecting: motor function, seizure threshold, hearing, vision, and neurodevelopment. The Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium (TMGC) involves researchers throughout the state of Tennessee, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Goldowitz, Ph.D., at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis. TMGC also includes researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the University of Memphis. The Project is using regional mutagenesis, covering regions on chromosomes 10, 14, 15, 19, and X, thus including approximately 15 of the genome in the screened region. Phenotypic screens include: motor and sensory function, learning and memory, neurohistology, aging, alcohol response, abused drug response, visual function, and social behavior. Neuromice.org has stopped taking orders online but mutants are orderable please contact the originating center for availability and pricing details. Live targeted mutant Fragile X model mice are now available for distribution.
