http://gemma-doc.chibi.ubc.ca/neurocarta/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Neurocarta is a knowledgebase that consolidates information on genes and phenotypes across multiple resources and allows tracking and exploring of the associations. The system enables automatic and manual curation of evidence supporting each association, as well as user-enabled entry of their own annotations. Phenotypes are recorded using controlled vocabularies such as the Disease Ontology to facilitate computational inference and linking to external data sources. The gene-to-phenotype associations are filtered by stringent criteria to focus on the annotations most likely to be relevant. Neurocarta is constantly growing and currently holds more than 30,000 lines of evidence linking over 6,800 genes to 1,800 different phenotypes. Neurocarta is a one-stop shop for researchers looking for candidate genes for any disorder of interest. In Neurocarta, they can review the evidence linking genes to phenotypes and filter out the evidence they're not interested in. In addition, researchers can enter their own annotations from their experiments and analyze them in the context of existing public annotations. Neurocarta's in-depth annotation of neurodevelopmental disorders makes it a unique resource for neuroscientists working on brain development.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Database of genetic and gene expression data from the published literature on psychiatric disorders. Users can search the accumulated data to find the evidence in support of the involvement of a particular genomic region with a set of important psychiatric disorders, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and smoking behavior. It contains findings from manual reviews of 144 papers in psychiatric genetics, 136 primary reports and 8 meta-analyses. Disorders covered include schizophrenia (44 papers), autism (24 papers), bipolar disorder (24 papers), smoking behavior (24 papers), major depressive disorder and neuroticism (14 papers), ADHD (8 papers), eating disorders (3 papers), and a combined schizophrenia-bipolar phenotype (3 papers). The unbiased searches integrated into SLEP include genomewide linkage (117 papers), genomewide association (15 papers), copy number variation (9 papers), and gene expression studies of post-mortem brain tissue (3 meta-analyses courtesy of the Stanley Foundation). In total, SLEP captures 3,741 findings from these 144 papers. SLEP also contains over 70,000 SignPosts. These annotations derive from many different sources and are designed to try to capture current state of knowledge about disease associations in the human genome. SignPosts can be searched simultaneously with the psychiatric genetics literature in order to integrate these two bodies of knowledge. The SignPosts include: accumulated GWAS findings from the human genetics literature, the OMIM database, candidate gene association study literature, CNV location and frequency data, SNPs that influence gene expression in brain, genes expressed in brain, genes with evidence of imprinting and random monoalleleic expression, genes mutated in breast or colorectal cancer, and pathway data from BioCyc.

Database of human tissue protein-protein interactions (PPIs) that associates each interaction with human tissues that express both pair mates. This was achieved by integrating current data of experimentally detected PPIs with extensive data of gene and protein expression across 16 main human tissues. Users can query TissueNet using a protein and retrieve its PPI partners per tissue, or using a PPI and retrieve the tissues expressing both pair mates. The graphical representation of the output highlights tissue-specific and tissue-wide PPIs. Thus, TissueNet provides a unique platform for assessing the roles of human proteins and their interactions across tissues.

Annotated magnetic resonance brain images, both slices and surface views, normalized to Talairach space, along with annotations and a nice tutorial on image normalization. A viewer for MRI images (MRicro) is available and is described in a separate entry. Series of coronal, axial and sagittal brain slices along with some rendered volumes with major brain structures delineated. Slices are presented as static series with partial overlap of slices, so they are not suitable for 3d reconstruction. This neuroanatomy atlas shows regions on normalized MRI scans. Normalization is the process of warping a brain to match a standard size, orientation and shape of other brains. You can normalize MRI scans using programs like AIR, FLIRT or SPM. Once normalized, the overall shape of your MRI scan will approximately match those in this atlas. However, normalization preserves the unique sulcal features of each brain, so there will be some variation between your image and the images shown in this atlas. There is a great deal of individual variability even after normalization, so any atlas is only a rough guide to the shape and location of structures in an individuals brain. As I have noted before, secondary and tertiary sulci are not found in all individuals (Ono et al. 1990, Atlas of Cerebral Sulci). Another benefit of normalizing brains is it makes it easy to complete an accurate "scalp stripping" with brain extracting software (my MRIcro software implements Steve Smith's BET for this task). You can then create a useful volume rendering of the cortical surface. Typically, it is much easier to identify cortical sulci and gyri by looking at a rendered image of the brain's surface. This atlas shows you how to recognize these landmarks on a rendered MRI scan.

An experiment in web-database access to large multi-dimensional data sets using a standardized experimental platform to determine if the larger scientific community can be given simple, intuitive, and user-friendly web-based access to large microarray data sets. All data in PEPR is also available via NCBI GEO. The structure and goals of PEPR differ from other mRNA expression profiling databases in a number of important ways. * The experimental platform in PEPR is standardized, and is an Affymetrix - only database. All microarrays available in the PEPR web database should ascribe to quality control and standard operating procedures. A recent publication has described the QC/SOP criteria utilized in PEPR profiles ( The Tumor Analysis Best Practices Working Group 2004 ). * PEPR permits gene-based queries of large Affymetrix array data sets without any specialized software. For example, a number of large time series projects are available within PEPR, containing 40-60 microarrays, yet these can be simply queried via a dynamic web interface with no prior knowledge of microarray data analysis. * Projects in PEPR originate from scientists world-wide, but all data has been generated by the Research Center for Genetic Medicine, Children''''s National Medical Center, Washington DC. Future developments of PEPR will allow remote entry of Affymetrix data ascribing to the same QC/SOP protocols. They have previously described an initial implementation of PEPR, and a dynamic web-queried time series graphical interface ( Chen et al. 2004 ). A publication showing the utility of PEPR for pharmacodynamic data has recently been published ( Almon et al. 2003 ).

3D interactive atlas of two mouse brains, 129S1/SvImJ and C57Bl/6J. The aim of this resource is to enhance comparative morphometric analyses and stereotactic surgical procedures in mice. These representations of the murine brain and skull, in conjunction with the resource''s development of a new, more dynamic master coordinate system, provide improved accuracy with respect to targeting CNS structures during surgery compared with previous systems. The interactive three-dimensional nature of these atlases also provide users with stereotactic information necessary to perform accurate off-axis surgical procedures, as is commonly required for experiments such as in vivo micro-electroporation. In addition, three-dimensional analysis of the brain and skull shape in C57Bl, 129Sv, CD1, and additional murine strains, suggests that a stereotactic coordinate system based upon the lambda and rostral confluence of the sinuses at the sagittal midline, provides improved accuracy compared with the traditional lambdabregma landmark system. These findings demonstrate the utility of developing highly accurate and robust three-dimensional representations of the murine brain and skull, in which experimental outputs can be directly compared using a unified coordinate system.
