http://www.bioguo.org/AnimalTFDB/

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.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented September 2, 2016. Database for defining official rat gene symbols. It includes rat gene symbols from three major sources: the Rat Genome Database (RGD), Ensembl, and NCBI-Gene. All rat symbols are compared with official symbols from orthologous human genes as specified by the Human Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). Based on the outcome of the comparisons, a rat gene symbol may be selected. Rat symbols that do not match a human ortholog undergo a strict procedure of comparisons between the different rat gene sources as well as with the Mouse Genome Database (MGD). For each rat gene this procedure results in an unambiguous gene designation. The designation is presented as a status level that accompanies every rat gene symbol suggested in the database. The status level describes both how a rat symbol was selected, and its validity. Rat Gene Symbol Tracker approves rat gene symbols by an automatic procedure. The rat genes are presented with links to RGD, Ensembl, NCBI Gene, MGI and HGNC. RGST ensures that each acclaimed rat gene symbol is unique and follows the guidelines given by the RGNC. To each symbol a status level associated, describing the gene naming process.

http://www.ncbcs.org/biositemaps/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 27,2023. Biositemaps represent a mechanism for computational biologists and bio-informaticians to openly broadcast and retrieve meta-data about biomedical data, tools and services (i.e., biomedical resources) over the Internet. All Institutions with an interest in biomedical research can publish a biositemap.rdf file on their Internet site. The technology, developed by the Biositemaps Working Group of the NIH Roadmap National Centers of Biomedical Computing (NCBC), addresses (i) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) mining biomedical resources. Each site which intends to contribute to the inventory instantiates a file on its Internet site biositemap.rdf which conforms to a defined RDF schema and uses concepts from the Biomedical Resource Ontology to describe the resources. Each biositemap.rdf file is simply a list of controlled metadata about resources (software tools, databases, material resources) that your organization uses or believes are important to biomedical research. The key enabling technologies are the Information Model (IM) which is the list of metadata fields about each resource (resource_name, description, contact_person, resource_type,...) and the Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO) which is a controlled terminology for the resource_typeand which is used to improve the sensitivity and specificity of web searches. Biositemaps blend the features of Sitemaps (enabling efficient web-content exploration) and RSS Feeds (a mechanism for wide and effective news dissemination). As a hybrid between Sitemaps and RSS feeds, the Biositemap infrastructure facilitates a decentralized, portable, extensible and computationally tractable generation and consumption of meta-data about existent, revised and new resources for biomedical computation. Web browsers, crawlers and robots can discover, accumulate, process, integrate and deliver Biositemaps content to (human or machine) users in a variety of graphical, tabular, computational formats. Biositemaps content allows such web browsers to pool resource-associated metadata from disparate and diverse sites and present it to the user in an integrated fashion. The Biositemaps protocol provides clues, information and directives for all Biositemap web harvesters that point to the existence and content of such biomedical resources at different sites.

http://www.blueprint-epigenome.eu/

Consortium to further the understanding of how genes are activated or repressed in both healthy and diseased human cells with a focus on distinct types of haematopoietic cells from healthy individuals and on their malignant leukemic counterparts. They will generate at least 100 reference epigenomes and study them to advance and exploit knowledge of the underlying biological processes and mechanisms in health and disease. Reference epigenomes will be generated by state-of-the-art technologies from highly purified cells for a comprehensive set of epigenetic marks in accordance with quality standards set by International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC). Access to the data is provided as well as the protocols used to collect the different blood cell types, to perform the different types of epigenomic analyses, etc.). This resource-generating activity will be complemented by hypothesis-driven research into blood-based diseases, including common leukemias and autoimmune disease (Type 1 Diabetes), by discovery and validation of epigenetic markers for diagnostic use and by epigenetic target identification. Since epigenetic changes are reversible, they can be targets for the development of novel and more individualized medical treatments. The involvement of companies will energize epigenomic research in the private sector by the development of smart technologies for better diagnostic tests and by identifying new targets for compounds. Thus the results of the project may lead to targeted diagnostics, new treatments and preventive measures for specific diseases in individual patients, an approach known as "personalized medicine". The Blueprint Data Access Committee will consider applications for access to data sets stored in the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA) when authorized to do so by the Blueprint consortium and the holders of the original consent documents. Access is conditional upon availability of samples and/or data and signed agreement by the researcher(s) and the responsible employing Institution to abide by policies related to publication, data disposal, ethical approval and confidentiality. At EBI, the ftp site with the data can be found. You can either opt to link to the track hubs yourself or you can add the track hub to a genome browser - UCSC or ENSEMBL. Also Meta Data files and README are available. The data can also be accessed via the BIOMART system.
