SomaticCall Resource Report Resource Website |
SomaticCall (RRID:SCR_001196) | SomaticCall | software resource | Software program that finds single-base differences (substitutions) between sequence data from tumor and matched normal samples. It is designed to be highly stringent, so as to achieve a low false positive rate. It takes as input a BAM file for each sample, and produces as output a list of differences (somatic mutations). Note: This software package is no longer supported and information on this page is provided for archival purposes only. | somatic mutation, substitution, sequence, bam, mutation |

Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation Resource Report Resource Website |
Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation (RRID:SCR_004768) | SBTF | institution | Founded in 1995, the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation (SBTF), a 501c3 not-for-profit charitable foundation, is devoted to improve the quality of life for brain tumor patients and their families. By offering information, education and support services, we aspire to instill hope, knowledge and comfort to all involved. The Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation also raises funds for research and medical personnel so that a cure can be found. For over a decade, the SBTF has become a well-known fundraising entity supporting critical, cutting edge brain tumor research at major medical centers in the Southeast. Our annual Race for Research held in Atlanta, Georgia each summer, is our main fundraising event popular throughout Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan area and has funded over $1.2 million dollars in research grants to leading researchers at major medical centers throughout the Southeast over the past decade. We are proud of our dedicated, all volunteer Board of Directors who meet monthly. Our Board is a diverse group comprised of individuals who''ve been touched by brain tumors in many different ways. Ranging from patients and family members to healthcare professionals; we are all committed to promoting the awareness of brain tumors in the community, communicating with patients and families and raising critical funds for research grants furthering advancements in the treatment of brain tumors. Our monthly support group, lead by a nurse practitioner, welcomes patients and their families to sit side by side with each other, share their experiences, communicate and receive support. As a neurosurgeon-scientist focused on the treatment of patients with brain tumors, I am committed to advancing the mission of SBTF forward in the fight against brain tumors. Our ability to serve the brain tumor community is dependent on each of you. Whether you support us with a financial donation in our fundraising efforts or with your time as a volunteer, each of you are a vital and integral part of our success and we thank you. | brain, tumor | Cancer, Brain cancer, Brain tumor | Crossref funder ID: 100003421, ISNI: 0000 0004 5902 7216, grid.481206.9, nlx_143897 | https://ror.org/01v0qv381 | SCR_004768 | 2026-08-29 11:22:13 | 0 | ||||||||

SomaticSniper Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
SomaticSniper (RRID:SCR_005108) | SomaticSniper | software resource | Software program to identify single nucleotide positions that are different between tumor and normal (or, in theory, any two bam files). It takes a tumor bam and a normal bam and compares the two to determine the differences. It outputs a file in a format very similar to Samtools consensus format. It uses the genotype likelihood model of MAQ (as implemented in Samtools) and then calculates the probability that the tumor and normal genotypes are different. This probability is reported as a somatic score. The somatic score is the Phred-scaled probability (between 0 to 255) that the Tumor and Normal genotypes are not different where 0 means there is no probability that the genotypes are different and 255 means there is a probability of 1 ? 10(255/-10) that the genotypes are different between tumor and normal. This is consistent with how the SAM format reports such probabilities. It is currently available as source code via github or as a Debian APT package. |

University of Rochester Program for Brain Tumors and Spinal Tumors (RRID:SCR_005343) | URMC Program for Brain and Spinal Tumors, | biomaterial supply resource, brain bank, material resource, tissue bank | Collaborative neuro-oncology research program with a tissue repository (tumor bank) containing a wide range of clinical specimens, which they make available to researchers in order to study the effects of new drugs on a large number and wide range of tumor specimens. They provide highly coordinated, complex care in neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and neurology to patients afflicted with tumors of the brain and spine by combining the newest technologies and treatments available anywhere in the world. The program is formed from a multidisciplinary group with a goal of helping patients navigate the complex issues surrounding brain and spinal cancer care. The researchers are working to increase the number of targets that could be considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Many of their studies focus on the blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) themselves, which, unlike tumor cells, rarely mutate and so might be less likely to become resistant to therapy and are also more easily reached through the bloodstream. Their researchers are also attempting to better understand the changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that are associated with fluid accumulation and brain swelling (edema) in neuro-oncology patients. Normal brain tissue is shielded from the rest of the body by the BBB. This barrier is composed of very tight blood vessels that prevent most substances from entering the brain. Brain tumors have a leaky BBB ����?? this feature can be used to identify tumors on MRI scans. They have identified specific molecules that appear to be associated with the leaky, abnormal vessels while the normal blood vessels with intact BBB produce these molecules at very low levels or not at all. Inhibiting the function of these molecules may help control or prevent disruption of the BBB and limit cerebral edema in brain tumor patients, as well as patients suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injury. | brain tissue, brain, tissue, spine, spinal tumor, brain tumor, tumor, cancer, normal control, clinical trial, treatment, acoustic neuroma, anaplastic astrocytoma, brain metastases, brain stem glioma, chordoma, cns lymphoma, craniopharyngioma, ependymoma, gliomatosis cerebri, glioblastoma, low grade glioma, meningioma, medulloblastoma, oligodendroglioma, pineal tumor, pilocytic astrocytoma, pituitary adenoma, premature neuroectodermal tumor, oncology, neurooncology, stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema | is listed by: One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing | Tumor, Brain tumor, Cancer, Spinal tumor, Normal control | Available to researchers - not clear if internally or if provide specimens to the public | nlx_144398 | http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neurosurgery/neurooncology/overview/research/ | SCR_005343 | University of Rochester Brain Tumor and Spinal Tumor Program | 2026-08-29 11:22:19 | 0 | |||||
