THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility of the Jackson Laboratory (NMF) was established to produce new neurological mouse models that could serve as experimental models for the exploration of basic neurobiological mechanisms and diseases. The protocols are available. The impetus for the program resulted from the recognition that * the value of genomic data would remain limited unless more information about the functionality of its individual components became available, and * the task of linking genes to specific behavior would best be accomplished by employing a combination of different approaches. In an effort to complement already existing programs, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility decided to use: a random, genome-wide approach to mutagenesis, i.e. N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) as the mutagen; a three-generation back-cross breeding scheme to focus on the detection of recessive mutations; behavioral screens selective for the detection of phenotypes deemed useful for the program goals. Protocols: * Genetics ** Production of Mice for a Genome-Wide ENU Mutagenesis Screen ** Production of Mice using Chemical Mutagenesis of Mouse ES Cells * Protocols ** Step by step procedures-- Mouse mutagenesis with ENU ** Step by step procedures-- ES Cell mutagenesis with EMS * Phenotyping: Overview * Protocols:(currently only screens marked * are in use) ** Acoustic startle response (ASR) ** Auditory brainstem response (ABR) ** CLAMSTM(former CCMS) ** Creatine kinase ** Developmental Screen * ** Eye and Vision * ** Gait Analysis ** Gustation ** Observation * ** Seizure threshold * ** Additional Background Information

DTP has been involved in the discovery or development of more than 70 percent of the anticancer therapeutics on the market today, and will continue helping the academic and private sectors to overcome various therapeutic development barriers, particularly through supporting high-risk projects and therapeutic development for rare cancers. Initially DTP made its drug discovery and development services and the results from the human tumor cell line assay publicly accessible to researchers worldwide. At first, the site offered in vitro human cell line data for a few thousand compounds and in vitro anti-HIV screening data for roughly 42,000 compounds. Today, visitors can find: * Downloadable in vitro human tumor cell line data for some 43,500 compounds and 15,000 natural product extracts * Results for 60,000 compounds evaluated in the yeast assay * In vivo animal model results for 30,000 compounds * 2-D and 3-D chemical structures for more than 200,000 compounds * Molecular target data, including characterizations for at least 1,200 targets, plus data from multiple cDNA microarray projects In addition to browsing DTP's databases and downloading data, researchers can request individual samples or sets of compounds on 96-well plates for research, or they can submit their own compounds for consideration for screening via DTP's online submission form. Once a compound is submitted for screening, researchers can follow its progress and retrieve data using a secure web interface. The NCI has collected information on almost half a million chemical structures in the past 50 years. DTP has made this information accessible and useful for investigators through its 3-D database, a collection of three-dimensional structures for more than 200,000 drugs. Investigators use the 3-D database to screen compounds for anticancer therapeutic activity. Also available on DTP's website are 127,000 connection tables for anticancer agents. A connection table is a convenient way of depicting molecular structures without relying on drawn chemical structures. As unique lists of atoms and their connections, the connection tables can be indexed and stored in computer databases where they can be used for patent searches, toxicology studies, and precursor searching, for example., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 5, 2023. MUGEN Mouse Database (MMdb) is a virtual and fully searchable repository of murine models of immune processes and immunological diseases. MMdb is being developed within the context of the MUGEN network of Excellence, a consortium of 21 leading research institutes and universities, and currently holds all mutant mouse models that were developed within the consortium. Its primary aim is to enable information exchange between participating institutions on mouse strain characteristics and availability. More importantly, it aims to create a mouse-centric international forum on modelling of immunological diseases and pave the way to systems biology of the mouse by correlating various genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. The basic categorization of models is based on three major research application categories: * Model of Human Disease * Model of Immune Processes * Transgenic Tool Mutant strains carry detailed information on affected gene(s), mutant alleles and genetic background (DNA origin, targeted, host and backcrossing background). Each gene/transgene index also includes IDs and direct links to Ensembl (EBI��s genome browser), ArrayExpress (providing expression profiles), Eurexpress II (for embryonic expression patterns) and NCBI��s Entrez Gene database. Phenotypic description is standardized and hierarchically structured, based on MGI��s mammalian phenotypic ontology terms, but also includes relevant images and references. Since version 2.1.0 MMdb is also utilizing PATO. Availability (in the form of live mice, cryopreserved embryos or sperm, as well as ES cells) is clearly indicated, along with handling and genotyping details (in the form of documents or hyperlinks) and all relevant contact information (including EMMA and JAX hyperlinks where available).

http://rostlab.org/services/nlsdb/

A database of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) and of nuclear proteins targeted to the nucleus by NLS motifs. NLSs are short stretches of residues mediating transport of nuclear proteins into the nucleus. The database contains 114 experimentally determined NLSs that were obtained through an extensive literature search. Using "in silico mutagenesis" this set was extended to 308 experimental and potential NLSs. This final set matched over 43% of all known nuclear proteins and matches no currently known non-nuclear protein. NLSdb contains over 6000 predicted nuclear proteins and their targeting signals from the PDB and SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL databases. The database also contains over 12 500 predicted nuclear proteins from six entirely sequenced eukaryotic proteomes (Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). NLS motifs often co-localize with DNA-binding regions. This observation was used to also annotate over 1500 DNA-binding proteins. From this site you can: * Query NLSdb * Find out how to use NLSdb * Browse the entries in NLSdb * Find out if your protein has an NLS using PredictNLS * Predict subcellular localization of your protein using LOCtree

http://phenome.jax.org/

Database enables integration of genomic and phenomic data by providing access to primary experimental data, data collection protocols and analysis tools. Data represent behavioral, morphological and physiological disease-related characteristics in naive mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. Collaborative standardized collection of measured data on laboratory mouse strains to characterize them in order to facilitate translational discoveries and to assist in selection of strains for experimental studies. Includes baseline phenotype data sets as well as studies of drug, diet, disease and aging effect., protocols, projects and publications, and SNP, variation and gene expression studies. Provides tools for online analysis. Data sets are voluntarily contributed by researchers from variety of institutions and settings, or retrieved by MPD staff from open public sources. MPD has three major types of strain-centric data sets: phenotype strain surveys, SNP and variation data, and gene expression strain surveys. MPD collects data on classical inbred strains as well as any fixed-genotype strains and derivatives that are openly acquirable by the research community. New panels include Collaborative Cross (CC) lines and Diversity Outbred (DO) populations. Phenotype data include measurements of behavior, hematology, bone mineral density, cholesterol levels, endocrine function, aging processes, addiction, neurosensory functions, and other biomedically relevant areas. Genotype data are primarily in the form of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). MPD curates data into a common framework by standardizing mouse strain nomenclature, standardizing units (SI where feasible), evaluating data (completeness, statistical power, quality), categorizing phenotype data and linking to ontologies, conforming to internal style guides for titles, tags, and descriptions, and creating comprehensive protocol documentation including environmental parameters of the test animals. These elements are critical for experimental reproducibility.

http://mouseNET.princeton.edu

A functional network for laboratory mouse based on integration of diverse genetic and genomic data. It allows the users to accurately predict novel functional assignments and network components. MouseNET uses a probabilistic Bayesian algorithm to identify genes that are most likely to be in the same pathway/functional neighborhood as your genes of interest. It then displays biological network for the resulting genes as a graph. The nodes in the graph are genes (clicking on each node will bring up SGD page for that gene) and edges are interactions (clicking on each edge will show evidence used to predict this interaction). Most likely, the first results to load on the results page will be a list of significant Gene Ontology terms. This list is calculated for the genes in the biological network created by the mouseNET algorithm. If a gene ontology term appears on this list with a low p-value, it is statistically significantly overrepresented in this biological network. The graph may be explored further. As you move the mouse over genes in the network, interactions involving these genes are highlighted.If you click on any of the highlighted interactions graph, evidence pop-up window will appear. The Evidence pop-up lists all evidence for this interaction, with links to the papers that produced this evidence - clicking these links will bring up the relevant source citation(s) in PubMed.

https://www.bioconductor.org/packages//2.12/bioc/html/dexus.html

Software package that identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. It works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. It does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power.

https://github.com/Ensembl

Public database that stores areas of genome that differ between individual genomes (variants) and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information. Different types of variants for several species: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short nucleotide insertions and/or deletions, and longer variants classified as structural variants (including CNVs). Effects of variants on the Ensembl transcripts and regulatory features for each species are predicted. You can run same analysis on your own data using Variant Effect Predictor. These data are integrated with other data sources in Ensembl, and can be accessed using the API or website. For several different species in Ensembl, they import variation data (SNPs, CNVs, allele frequencies, genotypes, etc) from a variety of sources (e.g. dbSNP). Imported variants and alleles are subjected to quality control process to flag suspect data. In human, they calculate linkage disequilibrium for each variant, by population.
