http://genomics.senescence.info/

Collection of databases and tools designed to help researchers study the genetics of human ageing using modern approaches such as functional genomics, network analyses, systems biology and evolutionary analyses. A major resource in HAGR is GenAge, which includes a curated database of genes related to human aging and a database of ageing- and longevity-associated genes in model organisms. Another major database in HAGR is AnAge. Featuring over 4,000 species, AnAge provides a compilation of data on aging, longevity, and life history that is ideal for the comparative biology of aging. GenDR is a database of genes associated with dietary restriction based on genetic manipulation experiments and gene expression profiling. Other projects include evolutionary studies, genome sequencing, cancer genomics, and gene expression analyses. The latter allowed them to identify a set of genes commonly altered during mammalian aging which represents a conserved molecular signature of aging. Software, namely in the form of scripts for Perl and SPSS, is made available for users to perform a variety of bioinformatic analyses potentially relevant for studying aging. The Perl toolkit, entitled the Ageing Research Computational Tools (ARCT), provides modules for parsing files, data-mining, searching and downloading data from the Internet, etc. Also available is an SPSS script that can be used to determine the demographic rate of aging for a given population. An extensive list of links regarding computational biology, genomics, gerontology, and comparative biology is also available.

The CellML language is an open standard based on the XML markup language. The purpose of CellML is to store and exchange computer-based mathematical models. CellML allows scientists to share models even if they are using different model-building software. It also enables them to reuse components from one model in another, thus accelerating model building. Although CellML was originally intended for the description of biological models; CellML includes information about model structure (how the parts of a model are organizationally related to one another), mathematics (equations describing the underlying processes) and metadata (additional information about the model that allows scientists to search for specific models or model components in a database or other repository). The CellML team is committed to providing freely available tools for creating, editing, and using CellML models. We provide information regarding tools we are developing internally and links to external projects developing tools which utilize the CellML format. Please let us know if you have an open source CellML tool looking for a home on the internet, as we are able to offer limited hosting services on cellml.org.

http://www.orcid.org/

Non-profit organization dedicated to solving the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID and other current author ID schemes. These identifiers, and the relationships among them, can be linked to the researcher''s output to enhance the scientific discovery process and to improve the efficiency of research funding and collaboration within the research community. The ideal solution is to establish a registry that is adopted and embraced as the de facto standard by the whole of the community. A resolution to the systemic name ambiguity problem, by means of assigning unique identifiers linkable to an individual''s research output, will enhance the scientific discovery process and improve the efficiency of funding and collaboration. The organization brings together the leaders of the most influential universities, funding organizations, societies, publishers and corporations from around the globe and is managed by a fourteen member Board of Directors. A disambiguated set of authors will allow new services and benefits to be built for the research community by all stakeholders in scholarly communication: from commercial actors to non-profit organizations, from governments to universities.

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 September 6, 2016. Set of orthogonal controlled vocabularies that unifies gene expression data by facilitating a link between the genome sequence and expression phenotype information. The system associates labelled target cDNAs for microarray experiments, or cDNA libraries and their associated transcripts with controlled terms in a set of hierarchical vocabularies. eVOC consists of four orthogonal controlled vocabularies suitable for describing the domains of human gene expression data including Anatomical System, Cell Type, Pathology and Developmental Stage. The four core eVOC ontologies provide an appropriate set of detailed human terms that describe the sample source of human experimental material such as cDNA and SAGE libraries. These expression terms are linked to libraries and transcripts allowing the assessment of tissue expression profiles, differential gene expression levels and the physical distribution of expression across the genome. Analysis is currently possible using EST and SAGE data, with microarray data being incorporated. The eVOC data is increasingly being accepted as a standard for describing gene expression and eVOC ontologies are integrated with the Ensembl EnsMart database, the Alternate Transcript Diversity Project and the UniProt Knowledgebase. Several groups are currently working to provide shared development of this resource such that it is of maximum use in unifying transcript expression information.

http://www.mlst.net/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 17, 2022. A nucleotide sequence based approach for the unambiguous characterisation of isolates of bacteria and other organisms via the internet. The aim of MLST is to provide a portable, accurate, and highly discriminating typing system that can be used for most bacteria and some other organisms. It is envisaged that this approach will be particularly helpful for the typing of bacterial pathogens. To achieve this aim we have taken the proven concepts of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE) and have adapted them so that alleles at each locus are defined directly, by nucleotide sequencing, rather than indirectly from the electrophoretic moblity of their gene products. MLST was developed in the laboratories of Martin Maiden, Dominique Caugant, Ian Feavers, Mark Achtman and Brian Spratt. This site is hosted at Imperial College with funding from the Wellcome Trust. The location of the subsites for the individual species are shown on their respective front pages.
