http://tvmouse.compmed.ucdavis.edu/

Educational resource to introduce users to the anatomy, physiology, histology, and pathology of the laboratory mouse, with an emphasis on the Genetically Engineered Mouse (GEM). It provides access to histological images, scanned at high resolution and browsable through Zoomify, movie loops and animations derived from MRI, correlated MRI and histology. It has CNS data but is focused on the whole body, e.g., physiological data is available for the heart in the form of wave patterns, histology, CNS, pathology, magnetic resonance imaging, neoplasms; animation, virtual histology, mouse, correlated imaging, necropsy, whole mouse. It may be useful to neuroscientists by relating brain anatomy to the rest of the body. There is a movie illustrating necropsy of the mouse. A link to a compendium of histological slices of brain neoplasms is provided under the Image Archive link. There is a CNS link under construction for anatomical system, which presumably will include detailed CT imaging. This site still appears to be under construction.

http://www.geisha.arizona.edu/geisha/

Online repository for chicken in situ hybridization information. This site presents whole mount in situ hybridization images and corresponding probe and genomic information for genes expressed in chicken embryos in Hamburger Hamilton stages 1-25 (0.5-5 days). The GEISHA project began in 1998 to investigate using high throughput whole mount in situ hybridization to identify novel, differentially expressed genes in chicken embryos. An initial expression screen of approximately 900 genes demonstrated feasibility of the approach, and also highlighted the need for a centralized repository of in situ hybridization expression data. Objectives: The goals of the GEISHA project are to obtain whole mount in situ hybridization expression information for all differentially expressed genes in the chicken embryo between HH stages 1-25, to integrate expression data with the chicken genome browsers, and to offer this information through a user-friendly graphical user interface. In situ hybridization images are obtained from three sources: 1. In house high throughput in situ hybridization screening: cDNAs obtained from several embryonic cDNA libraries or from EST repositories are screened for expression using high throughput in situ hybridization approaches. 2. Literature curation: Agreements with journals permit posting of published in situ hybridization images and related information on the GEISHA site. 3. Unpublished in situ hybridization information from other laboratories: laboratories generally publish only a small fraction of their in situ hybridization data. High quality images for which probe identity can be verified are welcome additions to GEISHA.

http://gene3d.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/Gene3D/

A large database of CATH protein domain assignments for ENSEMBL genomes and Uniprot sequences. Gene3D is a resource of form studying proteins and the component domains. Gene3D takes CATH domains from Protein Databank (PDB) structures and assigns them to the millions of protein sequences with no PDB structures using Hidden Markov models. Assigning a CATH superfamily to a region of a protein sequence gives information on the gross 3D structure of that region of the protein. CATH superfamilies have a limited set of functions and so the domain assignment provides some functional insights. Furthermore most proteins have several different domains in a specific order, so looking for proteins with a similar domain organization provides further functional insights. Strict confidence cut-offs are used to ensure the reliability of the domain assignments. Gene3D imports functional information from sources such as UNIPROT, and KEGG. They also import experimental datasets on request to help researchers integrate there data with the corpus of the literature. The website allows users to view descriptions for both single proteins and genes and large protein sets, such as superfamilies or genomes. Subsets can then be selected for detailed investigation or associated functions and interactions can be used to expand explorations to new proteins. The Gene3D web services provide programmatic access to the CATH-Gene3D annotation resources and in-house software tools. These services include Gene3DScan for identifying structural domains within protein sequences, access to pre-calculated annotations for the major sequence databases, and linked functional annotation from UniProt, GO and KEGG., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/apbs/

APBS is a software package for modeling biomolecular solvation through solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), one of the most popular continuum models for describing electrostatic interactions between molecular solutes in salty, aqueous media. APBS was designed to efficiently evaluate electrostatic properties for such simulations for a wide range of length scales to enable the investigation of molecules with tens to millions of atoms. It also provides implicit solvent models of nonpolar solvation which accurately account for both repulsive and attractive solute-solvent interactions. APBS uses FEtk (the Finite Element ToolKit) to solve the Poisson-Boltzmann equation numerically. FEtk is a portable collection of finite element modeling class libraries written in an object-oriented version of C. It is designed to solve general coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations using adaptive finite element methods, inexact Newton methods, and algebraic multilevel methods.

http://mli.nih.gov/mli/

High throughput screening services to identify small molecules that can be optimized as chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. The NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative NIH is designed to discover small molecules that interact with biologically important proteins and pathways and to provide open access to the bioassay and chemical data generated by its research centers. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. As these HTS Technologies were not previously available to the public sector, many investigators may not be familiar with the components and requirements of high throughput screening. A key challenge is to identify small molecules effective at modulating a given biological process or disease state. The Molecular Libraries Roadmap, through one of its components, the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN), offers biomedical researchers access to the large-scale screening capacity, along with medicinal chemistry and informatics necessary to identify chemical probes to study the functions of genes, cells, and biochemical pathways. This will lead to new ways to explore the functions of genes and signaling pathways in health and disease. There are two kinds of data that are available to the scientific community through a dedicated database: Chemical Compounds and Bioassay Results (NCBI). Various types of data, including informative records on substances, compound structures, and biologically active properties of small molecules are housed respectively within PubChem''''s three primary databases: PCSubstance, PCCompound, and PCBioAssay. To date, PubChem contains over 11 million substance records, details about approximately 5.5 million unique compound structures with links to bioassay descriptions, relevant literature, references, and assay data points and over 250 bioassays, a good percentage of which were contributed by the pilot phase of the MLP. The deposition will continue during the current MLPCN phase. NIH anticipates that these projects will also facilitate the development of new drugs, by providing early stage chemical compounds that will enable researchers in the public and private sectors to validate new drug targets, which could then move into the drug-development pipeline. This is particularly true for rare diseases, which may not be attractive for development by the private sector. Funding opportunities are available through the site.
