Rice Genome Annotation Resource Report Resource Website 1000+ mentions |
Rice Genome Annotation (RRID:SCR_006663) | Osa1 | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | Database and resource that provides sequence and annotation data for the rice genome. This website provides genome sequence from the Nipponbare subspecies of rice and annotation of the 12 rice chromosomes. All structural and functional annotation is viewable through our Rice Genome Browser which currently supports 75 tracks of annotation. Enhanced data access is available through web interfaces, FTP downloads and a Data Extractor tool developed in order to support discrete dataset downloads. Rice is a model species for the monocotyledonous plants and the cereals which are the greatest source of food for the world''s population. While rice genome sequence is available through multiple sequencing projects, high quality, uniform annotation is required in order for genome sequence data to be fully utilized by researchers. The existence of a common gene set and uniform annotation allows researchers within the rice community to work from a common resource so that their results can be more easily interpreted by other scientists. The objective of this project has always been to provide high quality annotation for the rice genome. They generated, refined and updated gene models for the estimated 40,000-60,000 total rice genes, provided standardized annotation for each model, linked each model to functional annotation including expression data, gene ontologies, and tagged lines. They have provided a resource to extend the annotation of the rice genome to other plant species by providing comparative alignments to other plant species. Analysis/Tools are available including: BLAST, Locus Name Search, Functional Term Search, Protein Domain Search, Anatomy Expression Viewer, Highly Expressed Genes | rice, oryza sativa, maize, corn, zea mays, wheat, triticum aestivum, gene, genome, annotation, FASEB list |

Open Archives Initiative - Object Reuse and Exchange Initiative (RRID:SCR_006982) | OAI-ORE, OAI ORE | data or information resource, narrative resource, standard specification | Initiative which defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. The intent of the effort is to develop standards that generalize across all web-based information including the increasing popular social networks of web 2.0. The goal of these standards is to expose the rich content in these aggregations (sometimes called compound digital objects, they may combine distributed resources with multiple media types including text, images, data, and video) to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization, reuse, and preservation. The specific aim of the ORE effort is to promote (through creation or endorsement) effective and consistent mechanisms which: facilitate discovery of compound digital objects; reference (or link to) these objects (as well as parts thereof); obtain a variety of disseminations of these objects; aggregate and disaggregate objects; and enable processing of objects by automated agents. | compound digital object, aggregation, metadata standard, ontology, interoperability, atom, rdf, xml, rdfa | is listed by: FORCE11 | Open Archives Initiative ; Andrew W.

Comparative Sequencing of Plant Small RNAs Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Comparative Sequencing of Plant Small RNAs (RRID:SCR_007003) | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, data set, production service resource, service resource | This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction. | has parent organization: University of Delaware; Delaware; USA | NSF 0638525 | nlx_37749 | SCR_007003 | 2026-08-29 11:22:45 | 1 | ||||||||||

Genes to Cognition: Neuroscience Research Programme Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Genes to Cognition: Neuroscience Research Programme (RRID:SCR_007121) | data or information resource, portal, topical portal | A neuroscience research program that studies genes, the brain and behavior in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. Central to G2C investigations is the NMDA receptor complex (NRC/MASC), that is found at the synapses in the central nervous system which constitute the functional connections between neurons. Changes in the receptor and associated components are thought to be in a large part responsible for the phenomenon of synaptic plasticity, that may underlie learning and memory. G2C is addressing the function of synapse proteins using large scale approaches combining genomics, proteomics and genetic methods with electrophysiological and behavioral studies. This is incorporated with computational models of the organization of molecular networks at the synapse. These combined approaches provide a powerful and unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of disease genes in behavior and brain pathology as well as provide fundamental insights into the complexity of the human brain. Additionally, Genes to Cognition makes available its biological resources, including gene-targeting vectors, ES cell lines, antibodies, and transgenic mice, generated for its phenotyping pipeline. The resources are freely-available to interested researchers. | cognition, gene, neuroscience |
