http://genome.ufl.edu/mapper/

A platform composed of three modules: the Database, the Search Engine, and rSNPs, for the computational identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in multiple genomes, that combines TRANSFAC and JASPAR data with the search power of profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). The Database contains putative TFBSs found in the upstream sequences of genes from the human, mouse and D.melanogaster genomes. For each gene, they scanned the region from 10,000 base pairs upstream of the transcript start to 50 base pairs downstream of the coding sequence start against all their models. Therefore, the database contains putative binding sites in the gene promoter and in the initial introns and non-coding exons. Information displayed for each putative binding site includes the transcription factor name, its position (absolute on the chromosome, or relative to the gene), the score of the prediction, and the region of the gene the site belongs to. If the selected gene has homologs in any of the other two organisms, the program optionally displays the putative TFBSs in the homologs. The Search Engine allows the identification, visualization and selection of putative TFBSs occurring in the promoter or other regions of a gene from the human, mouse, D.melanogaster, C.elegans or S.cerevisiae genomes. In addition, it allows the user to upload a sequence to query and to build a model by supplying a multiple sequence alignment of binding sites for a transcription factor of interest. rSNPs MAPPER is designed to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that may have an effect on the presence of one or more TFBSs.

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 2, 2016. Relational database containing the compositions of multi-protein complexes in the nucleus of budding yeast and human cells. Its content is limited to information curated from the proteomics literature and primarily comprises of components of the general transcription and DNA repair machinery. In addition to database browsing and searching capabilities, the PINdb web portal also includes user-friendly interactive tools for comparative analysis of the composition of multiple protein complexes and for clustering and visualizing network of protein complexes. Currently, PINdb contains mostly protein complexes that may be involved in gene transcription. To facilitate comparative analyses and identification of protein complexes, the compositional information is integrated with standardized gene nomenclature, annotation and protein sequences from public databases. The PINdb web interface provides a number of tools for (1) comparison of protein complexes, (2) search for a protein complex by its published name or by a partial list of its components and (3) browsing specific subsets or a functional classification of the complexes.

WebServer that identifies high-probability signaling and regulatory paths that connect input data sets. The input includes two weighted lists of condition-related proteins and genes, such as a set of disease-associated proteins and a set of differentially expressed disease genes, and a molecular interaction network (i.e., interactome). The output is a sparse, high-probability interactome sub-network connecting the two sets that is biased toward signaling pathways. This sub-network exposes additional proteins that are potentially involved in the studied condition and their likely modes of action. Computationally, it is formulated as a minimum-cost flow optimization problem that is solved using linear programming.

http://hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/services/jerne/brede/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th, 2023. A database of human data from functional neuroimaging scientific articles containing Talairach coordinates that provides data for novel information retrieval techniques and automated meta-analyses. Each article in this database is identified by a unique number: A WOBIB. Some of the structure of the Brede database is similar to the structure of the BrainMap database (Research Imaging Center, San Antonio). The database is inspired by the hierarchical structure of BrainMap with scientific articles (bib structures) on the highest level containing one or more experiments (exp structure, corresponding to a contrast in general linear model analyses), these in turn comprising one or more locations (loc structures). The information on the bib level (author, title, ...) is setup automatically from PubMed while the rest of the information is entered manually in a Matlab graphical user interface. On the loc level this includes the 3D stereotactic coordinates in either Talairach or MNI space, the brain area (functional, anatomical or cytoarchitectonic area) and magnitude values such as Z-score and P-value. On the exp level information such as modality, scanner and behavioral domain are recorded with external components (such as face recognition or kinetic boundaries) organized in a directed graph and marked up with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) where possible. The database is distributed as part of the Brede neuroinformatics toolbox (hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/software/brede/) which also provides the functions to manipulate and analyze the data. The Brede Toolbox is a program package primarily written in Matlab. As of 2006/11, 186 papers with 586 experiments.

The EuroBioBank network is the first operating network of biobanks in Europe providing human DNA, cell and tissue samples as a service to the scientific community conducting research on rare diseases. It is the only network dedicated to rare disease research in Europe. By creating a critical mass of collections and facilitating the exchange of biological material, the EuroBioBank network helps accelerate research on these diseases. * Over 440,000 samples are available across the network and can be requested via the online catalogue. Approximately 13,000 samples are collected each year and 7,000 samples distributed in Europe and beyond. The biological samples are obtained from patients affected by rare diseases, including rare neuromuscular disorders. * The EuroBioBank Network is currently composed of 18 members, of which 16 biobanks from 8 European countries (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Spain and the United-Kingdom) as well as Israel and Canada. Goals * Identify and localize biological material of interest to researchers * Build a critical mass of rare disease sample collections * Distribute high quality material and associated data to users * Promote best-practice guidelines for biobanking activities * Disseminate knowledge and know-how to the scientific community through training courses * Enhance collaboration with the medical and scientific community in the field of rare diseases EuroBioBank acts as a clearing house or virtual bank, with all samples listed in the central online catalogue remaining in the possession of the member biobanks, where they are located and can be requested. The network was established by patients and researchers to facilitate research on rare diseases by guaranteeing quick and easy access to samples via an online catalogue. The catalogue lists the samples available throughout the EuroBioBank network by type of biomaterial. A search engine enables a search by disease or by bank contact. Once a sample has been located in the catalogue, it can be requested by email. Therefore, the biological material is exchanged faster. If a sample does not appear in the EuroBioBank catalogue, help can be provided to further search it at: eurobiobank (at) telethon.it Funding and Collaboration Originally funded by the EC between 2003-2006, the EuroBioBank received further EC support between 2007-2011 within the European Network of Excellence TREAT-NMD (FP6), which covered the cost sustained by Eurordis for the network coordination and website hosting. Each biobank of the network is financed by its own Institution or charitable organization. As of January 2012, the Fondazione Telethon provides the administrative support for coordinating the EuroBioBank network and hosting the website.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9, 2023. In this web site you will find the central European database of OECI-TuBaFrost collecting the information of biobanks or in the project support environment on human material; i.e., frozen tumor tissue specimens, pathology blocks, blood samples in different forms, cell lines, Tissue Micro Arrays, etc. Our goal is by centralizing the tumor tissues information to facilitate the search of doctors / researchers for tumor materials, which they need for their cancer research there with facilitating cancer research. OECI members only can participate in the OECI-TuBaFrost exchange platform, or those introduced by an OECI member. We are a group of pathology and research departments as well as bio-bankers in clinical based biobanking based in comprehensive cancer centers or hospitals with a competence in comprehensive cancer care across Europe. Each participating institute is involved in cancer research resulting in innovative procedures, new drugs, improved diagnosis and new insights in disease development. The overall result is better care and treatment for cancer patients. To maximize the scientific value of the human tissue samples, information about the clinical status of the patient in combination with the quality and type of samples is very important. A TuBaFrost electronic database will securely store all this information. Within the closed project supporting environments, the data collected will include: * Diagnosis - identification of the type of cancer * Type of tissue collected - the origin, i.e. breast, skin, colorectal * Quality of tissue collected - collection and storage details The tissue is stored in the hospital where the donor was diagnosed/treated. It stays there until it is used or sent to another hospital or research center within the TuBaFrost group. The electronic database will track samples throughout the network. The tissue is not sold. The exchange of tissue to other hospitals is regulated by a contract, which uses the national regulations of the country supplying the tissue. Tissue samples within the TuBaFrost collection will only be used for research, which has been approved by ethics committees. This ensures that the tissue is only used for the best quality research and only for the specific reasons given to the ethics committee.
