The Cancer Genome Atlas Resource Report Resource Website 5000+ mentions |
The Cancer Genome Atlas (RRID:SCR_003193) | TCGA | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Project exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future). | genome, genome sequencing, breast, central nervous system, endocrine, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, head, neck, hematologic, skin, soft tissue, thoracic, urologic, clinical, genomic characterization, analysis, tumor genome, demographic, gene expression, copy number alteration, epigenetic, dna sequence, exome, snp, methylation, mrna, mirna, FASEB list |

KI Biobank - TwinGene Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
KI Biobank - TwinGene (RRID:SCR_006006) | TwinGene | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | In collaboration with GenomeEUtwin, the TwinGene project investigates the importance of quantitative trait loci and environmental factors for cardiovascular disease. It is well known that genetic factors are of considerable importance for some familial lipid syndromes and that Type A Behavior pattern and increased lipid levels infer increased risk for cardiovascular disease. It is furthermore known that genetic factors are of importance levels of blood lipid biomarkers. The interplay of genetic and environmental effects for these risk factors in a normal population is less well understood and virtually unknown for the elderly. In the TwinGene project twins born before 1958 are contacted to participate. Health and medication data are collected from self-reported questionnaires, and blood sampling material is mailed to the subject who then contacts a local health care center for blood sampling and a health check-up. In the simple health check-up, height, weight, circumference of waist and hip, and blood pressure are measured. Blood is sampled for DNA extraction, serum collection and clinical chemistry tests of C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, apolipo��protein A1 and B, glucose and HbA1C. The TwinGene cohort contains more than 10000 of the expected final number of 16000 individuals. Molecular genetic techniques are being used to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) for cardiovascular disease and biomarkers in the TwinGene participants. Genome-wide linkage and association studies are ongoing. DZ twins have been genome-scanned with 1000 STS markers and a subset of 300 MZ twins have been genome-scanned with Illumina 317K SNP platform. Association of positional candidate SNPs arising from these genomscans are planned. The TwinGene project is associated with the large European collaboration denoted GenomEUtwin (www.genomeutwin.org, see below) which since 2002 has aimed at gathering genetic data on twins in Europe and setting up the infrastructure needed to enable pooling of data and joint analyses. It has been the funding source for obtaining the genome scan data.

CAZy- Carbohydrate Active Enzyme Resource Report Resource Website 1000+ mentions |
CAZy- Carbohydrate Active Enzyme (RRID:SCR_012909) | CAZy | data or information resource, database | Database that describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. This specialist database is dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes). CAZy data are accessible either by browsing sequence-based families or by browsing the content of genomes in carbohydrate-active enzymes. New genomes are added regularly shortly after they appear in the daily releases of GenBank. New families are created based on published evidence for the activity of at least one member of the family and all families are regularly updated, both in content and in description. An original aspect of the CAZy database is its attempt to cover all carbohydrate-active enzymes across organisms and across subfields of glycosciences. One can search for CAZY Family pages using the Protein Accession (Genpept Accession, Uniprot Accession or PDB ID), Cazy family name or EC number. In addition, genomes can be searched using the NCBI TaxID. This search can be complemented by Google-based searches on the CAZy site. | carbohydrate, carbohydrate-binding, carbohydrate binding module, carbohydrate esterase, catalytic binding, glycosidic bond, glycosidic hydrolase, glycosyl transferase, polysaccharide lyase, enzyme class, enzyme, module, genome, virus, bio.tools, FASEB list |

PoPoolation Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
PoPoolation (RRID:SCR_003495) | PoPoolation | software resource | A collection of tools to facilitate population genetic studies of next generation sequencing data from pooled individuals. It builds upon open source tools (bwa, samtools) and uses standard file formats (gtf, sam, pileup) to ensure a wide compatibility. PoPoolation allows to calculate Tajima's Pi, Watterson's Theta and Tajima's D for reference sequences using a sliding window approach. Alternatively these population genetic estimators may be calculated for a set of genes (provided as gtf). One of the main challenges in population genomics is to identify regions of intererest on a genome wide scale. PoPoolation will greatly aid this task by allowing a fast and user friendly analysis of NGS data from DNA pools. | population genetics, next generation sequencing, sliding window, genome, bio.tools |
