Provide quality human tissue grafts for transplantation, research or education through the compassionate support of families, outreach and education to communities. The Allograft Resources Tissue Bank was developed to fill a particular need within a single hospital in the San Antonio area. The tissue industry, as a whole, had persistently struggled with fulfilling the need for cryopreserved heart valves for the pediatric Cardiothoracic program at University Hospital. The region serviced by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio medical school and the University Hospital has a high population of pediatric patients with cardiothoracic anomalies which require pediatric heart surgery. From this need the Allograft Resource Program was developed and has continued to grow rapidly. The Allograft Resource Program has continued to add services as demanded by the local community and now offers a vast array of services to include compliance assistance, recovery services, bereavement support, and location and delivery of difficult to find grafts for implantation.

Collection of curated structural variation in the human genome. Catalogue of human genomic structural variation identified in healthy control samples for studies aiming to correlate genomic variation with phenotypic data. It is continuously updated with new data from peer reviewed research studies. The Database is no longer accepting direct submission of data as they are currently part of a collaboration with two new archival CNV databases at EBI and NCBI, called DGVa and dbVAR, respectively. One of the changes to DGV as part of this collaborative effort is that they will no longer be accepting direct submissions, but rather obtain the datasets from DGVa (short for DGV archive). This will ensure that the three databases are synchronized, and will allow for an official accessioning of variants.

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

An experiment in web-database access to large multi-dimensional data sets using a standardized experimental platform to determine if the larger scientific community can be given simple, intuitive, and user-friendly web-based access to large microarray data sets. All data in PEPR is also available via NCBI GEO. The structure and goals of PEPR differ from other mRNA expression profiling databases in a number of important ways. * The experimental platform in PEPR is standardized, and is an Affymetrix - only database. All microarrays available in the PEPR web database should ascribe to quality control and standard operating procedures. A recent publication has described the QC/SOP criteria utilized in PEPR profiles ( The Tumor Analysis Best Practices Working Group 2004 ). * PEPR permits gene-based queries of large Affymetrix array data sets without any specialized software. For example, a number of large time series projects are available within PEPR, containing 40-60 microarrays, yet these can be simply queried via a dynamic web interface with no prior knowledge of microarray data analysis. * Projects in PEPR originate from scientists world-wide, but all data has been generated by the Research Center for Genetic Medicine, Children''''s National Medical Center, Washington DC. Future developments of PEPR will allow remote entry of Affymetrix data ascribing to the same QC/SOP protocols. They have previously described an initial implementation of PEPR, and a dynamic web-queried time series graphical interface ( Chen et al. 2004 ). A publication showing the utility of PEPR for pharmacodynamic data has recently been published ( Almon et al. 2003 ).

A database of human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat proteases and protease inhibitors, as well as as the growing number of hereditary diseases caused by mutations in protease genes. Analysis of the human and mouse genomes has allowed us to annotate 581 human, 580 chimpanzee, 667 mouse, and 655 rat protease genes. Proteases are classified in five different classes according to their mechanism of catalysis. Proteases are a diverse and important group of enzymes representing >2% of the human, chimpanzee, mouse and rat genomes. This group of enzymes is implicated in numerous physiological processes. The importance of proteases is illustrated by the existence of 99 different hereditary diseases due to mutations in protease genes. Furthermore, proteases have been implicated in multiple human pathologies, including vascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegenerative processes, and cancer. During the last ten years, our laboratory has identified and characterized more than 60 human protease genes. Due to the importance of proteolytic enzymes in human physiology and pathology, we have recently introduced the concept of Degradome, as the complete repertoire of proteases expressed by a tissue or organism. Thanks to the recent completion of the human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat genome sequencing projects, we were able to analyze and compare for the first time the complete protease repertoire in those mammalian organisms, as well as the complement of protease inhibitor genes. This webpage also contains the Supplementary Material of Human and mouse proteases: a comparative genomic approach Nat Rev Genet (2003) 4: 544-558, Genome sequence of the brown Norway rat yields insights into mammalian evolution Nature (2004) 428: 493-521, A genomic analysis of rat proteases and protease inhibitors Genome Res.

Database containing several body fluid proteomes, including plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. Cell lines have been mapped to a depth of several thousand proteins and the red blood cell proteome has also been analyzed in depth. The liver proteome is represented with 3200 proteins. By employing high resolution MS and stringent validation criteria, false positive identification rates in MAPU are lower than 1:1000. Thus MAPU datasets can serve as reference proteomes in biomarker discovery. MAPU contains the peptides identifying each protein, measured masses, scores and intensities using a clickable interface of cell or body parts. Proteome data can be queried across proteomes by protein name, accession number, sequence similarity, peptide sequence and annotation information. More than 4500 mouse and 2500 human proteins have already been identified in at least one proteome. Basic annotation information and links to other public databases are provided in MAPU and we plan to add further analysis tools.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 8/12/13. An expanded version of the Alternative Splicing Annotation Project (ASAP) database with a new interface and integration of comparative features using UCSC BLASTZ multiple alignments. It supports 9 vertebrate species, 4 insects, and nematodes, and provides with extensive alternative splicing analysis and their splicing variants. As for human alternative splicing data, newly added EST libraries were classified and included into previous tissue and cancer classification, and lists of tissue and cancer (normal) specific alternatively spliced genes are re-calculated and updated. They have created a novel orthologous exon and intron databases and their splice variants based on multiple alignment among several species. These orthologous exon and intron database can give more comprehensive homologous gene information than protein similarity based method. Furthermore, splice junction and exon identity among species can be valuable resources to elucidate species-specific genes. ASAP II database can be easily integrated with pygr (unpublished, the Python Graph Database Framework for Bioinformatics) and its powerful features such as graph query, multi-genome alignment query and etc. ASAP II can be searched by several different criteria such as gene symbol, gene name and ID (UniGene, GenBank etc.). The web interface provides 7 different kinds of views: (I) user query, UniGene annotation, orthologous genes and genome browsers; (II) genome alignment; (III) exons and orthologous exons; (IV) introns and orthologous introns; (V) alternative splicing; (IV) isoform and protein sequences; (VII) tissue and cancer vs. normal specificity. ASAP II shows genome alignments of isoforms, exons, and introns in UCSC-like genome browser. All alternative splicing relationships with supporting evidence information, types of alternative splicing patterns, and inclusion rate for skipped exons are listed in separate tables. Users can also search human data for tissue- and cancer-specific splice forms at the bottom of the gene summary page. The p-values for tissue-specificity as log-odds (LOD) scores, and highlight the results for LOD >= 3 and at least 3 EST sequences are all also reported.
