Transcriptomic information (spatiotemporal gene expression profile data) on the postnatal cerebellar development of mice (C57B/6J & ICR). It is a tool for mining cerebellar genes and gene expression, and provides a portal to relevant bioinformatics links. The mouse cerebellar circuit develops through a series of cellular and morphological events, including neuronal proliferation and migration, axonogenesis, dendritogenesis, and synaptogenesis, all within three weeks after birth, and each event is controlled by a specific gene group whose expression profile must be encoded in the genome. To elucidate the genetic basis of cerebellar circuit development, CDT-DB analyzes spatiotemporal gene expression by using in situ hybridization (ISH) for cellular resolution and by using fluorescence differential display and microarrays (GeneChip) for developmental time series resolution. The CDT-DB not only provides a cross-search function for large amounts of experimental data (ISH brain images, GeneChip graph, RT-PCR gel images), but also includes a portal function by which all registered genes have been provided with hyperlinks to websites of many relevant bioinformatics regarding gene ontology, genome, proteins, pathways, cell functions, and publications. Thus, the CDT-DB is a useful tool for mining potentially important genes based on characteristic expression profiles in particular cell types or during a particular time window in developing mouse brains.

http://www.evidenceontology.org
A controlled vocabulary that describes types of scientific evidence within the realm of biological research that can arise from laboratory experiments, computational methods, manual literature curation, and other means. Researchers can use these types of evidence to support assertions about research subjects that result from scientific research, such as scientific conclusions, gene annotations, or other statements of fact. ECO comprises two high-level classes, evidence and assertion method, where evidence is defined as a type of information that is used to support an assertion, and assertion method is defined as a means by which a statement is made about an entity. Together evidence and assertion method can be combined to describe both the support for an assertion and whether that assertion was made by a human being or a computer. However, ECO can not be used to make the assertion itself; for that, one would use another ontology, free text description, or other means. ECO was originally created around the year 2000 to support gene product annotation by the Gene Ontology. Today ECO is used by many groups concerned with provenance in scientific research. ECO is used in AmiGO 2

A comprehensive transcription factor (TF) database in which they identified and classified all the genome-wide TFs in 50 sequenced animal genomes (Ensembl release version 60). In addition to TFs, it also collects transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of those genomes, which play regulatory roles in transcription. Here they defined the TFs as proteins containing a sequence-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD) and regulating target gene expression. Currently, the AnimalTFDB classifies all the animal TFs into 72 families according to their conserved DBDs. Gene lists of transcription factors, transcription co-factors and chromatin remodeling factors of each species are available for downloading., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

A publicly accessible knowledgebase about protein-protein, protein-lipid, protein-small molecules, ligand-receptor interactions, receptor-cell type information, transcriptional regulatory and signal transduction modules relevant to inflammation, cell migration and tumourigenesis. It integrates in-house curated information from the literature, biochemical experiments, functional assays and in vivo studies, with publicly available information from multiple and diverse sources across human, rat, mouse, fly, worm and yeast. The knowledgebase allowing users to search and to dynamically generate visual representations of protein-protein interactions and transcriptional regulatory networks. Signalling and transcriptional modules can also be displayed singly or in combination. This allow users to identify important "cross-talks" between signalling modules via connections with key components or "hubs". The knowledgebase will facilitate a "systems-wide" understanding across many protein, signalling and transcriptional regulatory networks triggered by multiple environmental cues, and also serve as a platform for future efforts to computationally and mathematically model the system behavior of inflammatory processes and tumourigenesis.

A database integrating data from the bee brain EST sequencing project with data from sequencing and gene research projects from other organisms, primarily the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The goal of Bee-ESTdb is to provide updated information on the genes of the honey bee, currently using annotation primarily from flies to suggest cellular roles, biological functions, and evolutionary relationships. The site allows searches by sequence ID, EST annotations, Gene Ontology terms, Contig ID and using BLAST. Very nice resource for those interested in comparative genomics of brain. A normalized unidirectional cDNA library was made in the laboratory of Prof. Bento Soares, University of Iowa. The library was subsequently subtracted. Over 20,000 cDNA clones were partially sequenced from the normalized and subtracted libraries at the Keck Center, resulting in 15,311 vector-trimmed, high-quality, sequences with an average read length of 494 bp. and average base-quality of 41. These sequences were assembled into 8966 putatively unique sequences, which were tested for similarity to sequences in the public databases with a variety of BLAST searches. The Clemson University Genomics Institute is the distributor of these public domain cDNA clones. For information on how to purchase an individual clone or the entire collection, please contact www.genome.clemson.edu/orders/ or generobi (at) life.uiuc.edu.
