"Our lab recently completed a study investigating several genes associated with mouse grooming behavior.NIF's user friendly interface and linkage to many of the important databases used in our study gave us access to information we otherwise would not have found.

"NIF is a great tool (and a great way of promoting neuroscience resources: we got our highest peak of visits the day we were included in the NIF registry!!!)"

NIFSTD has been used as a "trusted" ontology in Experimental Factor Ontology for Array Express (EBI)http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/ |

Testimonials |
"I like that resources pop up in separate windows: multiple resources can be compared, and I never lost my search results (and therefore my train of thought...)." |
"I really like having multiple atlases all in one place." |
|
"I have really only ever worked off of PubMed before and had no idea of all of these sites and databases that would have general information, instead of individual article information. Allen Bran Atlas is a favorite to have access to now." |
|
"I like that NIF holds a wide variety of information (gene expressions to neuroanatomy) (functions to diseases) (mice to humans)." |
|
"There are a lot of resources in the registry, and the great thing about the NIF is that I can access them from one website. " |
|
"I was looking for the 'common naming project' by its former name 'shared naming project' . . . . I could not find it in Google, as I either got too many results that all seemed irrelevant, or no results when I added quotes. I looked in NIF for shared naming project and the cluster engine showed the link to common naming project at the top of the list. It was exactly what I was looking for." |
