Synapse consists of a web portal integrated with the R/Bioconductor statistical package and will be integrated with additional tools. The web portal is organized around the concept of a Project which is an environment where you can interact, share data, and analysis methods with a specific group of users or broadly across open collaborations. Projects provide an organizational structure to interact with data, code and analyses, and to track data provenance. A project can be created by anyone with a Synapse account and can be shared among all Synapse users or restricted to a specific team. Public data projects include the Synapse Commons Repository (SCR) (syn150935) and the metaGenomics project (syn275039). The SCR provides access to raw data and phenotypic information for publicly available genomic data sets, such as GEO and TCGA. The metaGenomics project provides standardized preprocessed data and precomputed analysis of the public SCR data. | data sharing, collaboration, data management, analysis, genome, phenotype, crowd sourcing, open data, provenance, resource management, annotation, authoring, markup, r, python, java, command-line, cloud, FASEB list |

CTDatabase (RRID:SCR_007614) | data or information resource, database | A database of information about each Cancer-Testis (CT) gene, its gene products and the immune response induced in cancer patients by these proteins. CT antigens are proteins normally expressed only in the human germ line but that are also present in a significant subset of malignant tumors. The practical importance of these proteins is that due to their restricted expression pattern they are frequently recognized by the immune system of cancer patients. Moreover, this antigenicity has raised the possibility of their being used as vaccines to actively stimulate immune responses in order to combat tumor growth. As a result worldwide research into many aspects of CT antigens is rapidly growing prompting the construction of this database as a resource for investigators involved in this area. | data set, FASEB list | is listed by: 3DVC | Cancer | nif-0000-02704 | SCR_007614 | CTDatabase | 2026-08-29 11:29:56 | 109 | ||||||||

Resource for Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Resource for Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging (RRID:SCR_010472) | GERA | data or information resource, database | Human genetics data from an immense (78,000) and ethnically diverse population available for secondary analysis to qualified researchers through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). It offers the opportunity to identify potential genetic risks and influences on a broad range of health conditions, particularly those related to aging. The GERA cohort is part of the Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), which includes more than 430,000 adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system. Data from this larger cohort include electronic medical records, behavioral and demographic information from surveys, and saliva samples from 200,000 participants obtained with informed consent for genomic and other analyses. The RPGEH database was made possible largely through early support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to accelerate such health research. The genetic information in the GERA cohort translates into more than 55 billion bits of genetic data. Using newly developed techniques, the researchers conducted genome-wide scans to rapidly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomes of the people in the GERA cohort. These data will form the basis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that can look at hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs at the same time. The RPGEH then combined the genetic data with information derived from Kaiser Permanente''s comprehensive longitudinal electronic medical records, as well as extensive survey data on participants'' health habits and backgrounds, providing researchers with an unparalleled research resource. As information is added to the Kaiser-UCSF database, the dbGaP database will also be updated. | genotype, phenotype, genome-wide association study, saliva, dna, male, female, health condition, electronic medical record, single nucleotide polymorphism, adult human, late adult human, gene, genome |

UCL Biobank Resource Report Resource Website |
UCL Biobank (RRID:SCR_000517) | UCL Biobank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Two University College London (UCL) biobanks, one based at the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) Campus and the other based at Bloomsbury supporting Pathology and the Cancer Institute, will act as physical repositories for collections of biological samples and data from patients consented at UCLH, Partners Hospitals and external sources. This will incorporate collections of existing stored samples and new collections. UCL-RFH BioBank, the physical repository at the Royal Free, presents a unique opportunity to advance medical research through making access to research tissue easier, faster and much more efficient. The BioBank is both a physical repository, with capacity for up to 1 million cryogenically stored samples and a virtual repository for all tissue, cell, plasma, serum, DNA and RNA samples stored throughout UCLP. In particular, samples considered "relevant material", such as tissues and cells, that are licensed by the Human Tissue Authority, can be stored long term. Existing holdings of tissues and cells where appropriate can be transferred to the Physical BioBank at the Royal Free. UCL - Royal Free BioBank provides a flexible approach to banking, allowing the Depositor to pick and choose services that are tailored to fit their requirements. Collaborations arising from publicizing of the existence of the holdings are entirely at the discretion of the depositor, as the facility ensures that access to the deposits remains at the decision of the Depositor/User. UCL Biobank for studying Health and Disease (based at Pathology-Rockefeller building and the UCL-Cancer Institute will support projects principally involved in the study of human disease. The aim is to support primarily, research in the Pathology Department, UCLH and the UCL-Cancer Institute but it will also support other UCLH partners. The biobank will store normal and pathological specimens, surplus to diagnostic requirements, from relevant tissues and bodily fluids. Stored tissues will include; snap-frozen or cryopreserved tissue, formalin-fixed tissue, paraffin-embedded tissues, and slides prepared for histological examination. Tissues will include resection specimens obtained surgically or by needle core biopsy. Bodily fluids will include; whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, saliva and buccal smears and cytological specimens such as sputum and cervical smears. Fine needle aspirates obtained from tissues and bodily cavities (e.g. pleura and peritoneum) will also be collected. Where appropriate the biobank will also store separated cells, protein, DNA and RNA isolated from collected tissues and bodily fluids described above. Some of the tissue and aspirated samples will be stored in the diagnostic archive. | tissue, cell, plasma, serum, dna, rna, blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebral spinal fluid, milk, saliva, buccal smear, sputum, cervical smear, pleura, peritoneum, protein, body fluid, cryopreserved, frozen, snap-frozen, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, slide, cancer, disease, normal |
