Cellular Open Resource is a Microsoft Windows environment for cellular modeling that is built around CellML (except for reactions and metadata which are not supported). It offers, through CellML, an ''out of the box'' access to a large database of single cell models. COR was among the early adopters of this standard, eventually forming the first publicly available CellML-based modeling and collaboration environment. From the onset, COR was designed to provide an environment that could not only be used by experienced modelers, but also by experimentalists, teachers and students. It therefore tries to combine a user-friendly interface with a computationally efficient numerical engine. In this paper, we introduce the philosophy behind COR, explain its user interface and current functionality, including the editing and running of CellML files, highlight lessons learned from user feedback and problems experienced during the development of COR and conclude by exploring future development potential. Sponsors: This study has been supported by a grant from the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BB/E024955/1).

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.

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.
