http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. International interdisciplinary Internet based unbiased forum for review of medical literature. Very much like an on-line journal club, we aim to provide a venue which will improve communication amongst physicians and lead to better understanding and interpretation of medical literature. In the academic world, Journal Clubs are a common way to discuss and critically question medical literature. The knowledge gained by this activity can be immeasurable, and often leads to ideas both relating to patient care and to future research. However, many clinicians are unable to participate in these academic activities. In addition, information shared within an individual journal club is seldom disseminated. Here you will find a free, user-friendly website where you can rate and discuss medical literature. It offers innovative and powerful search tools that will allow you to quickly query the medical literature and identify the information you need. In addition, their exclusive tools will help identify the most important and controversial articles. It is their hope to bring both insight and questions to the literature -- both of which will be used to shape future research. Clinicians will have a better understanding of the evidence, and ability to partake in a venue that fosters communication between peers.

The collection of chapters in this eBook is written to provide guidance to investigators who are interested in developing assays useful for the evaluation of collections of molecules to identify probes that modulate the activity of biological targets, pathways, and cellular phenotypes. These probes may be candidates for further optimization and investigation in drug discovery and development. Originally written as a guide for therapeutic project teams within a major pharmaceutical company, this manual has been adapted to provide guidelines for scientists in academic, non-profit, government and industrial research laboratories to develop potential assay formats compatible with High Throughput Screening (HTS) and Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) measurements of new and known molecular entities. Topics addressed in this manual include: * Development of optimal assay reagents. * Optimization of assay protocols with respect to sensitivity, dynamic range, signal intensity and stability. * Adopting screening assays from bench scale assays to automation and scale up in microtiter plate formats. * Statistical concepts and tools for validation of assay performance parameters. * Secondary follow up assay development for chemical probe validation and SAR refinement. * Data standards to be followed in reporting screening and SAR assay results. * Glossaries and definitions. This manual will be continuously updated with contributions from experienced scientists from multiple disciplines working in drug discovery & development worldwide. An open submission and review process will be implemented in the near future on this eBook website, hosted by the National Library of Medicine with content management by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS, http://ncats.nih.gov/), the newest component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Bookshelf, the books division of the NLM Literature Archive, is an online collection of full-text books, reports, databases and other documents, providing free access to over 700 texts in life science and healthcare. A vital node in the data-rich resource network at NCBI, Bookshelf enables users to easily browse, retrieve, and read content, and spurs discovery of related information. Some Bookshelf contents have a corresponding entry in PubMed. The books we host have been given to us by the publishers (we do not pay them any kind of fee). Each book is viewed as a new candidate for Bookshelf. Whether the next edition of a book comes out on Bookshelf depends on whether we have a new agreement for that edition with the publisher. The publisher must contact us with this request. You may also contact the publisher directly to request that the next edition be placed on Bookshelf.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/HTGS/

Database of high-throughput genome sequences from large-scale genome sequencing centers, including unfinished and finished sequences. It was created to accommodate a growing need to make unfinished genomic sequence data rapidly available to the scientific community in a coordinated effort among the International Nucleotide Sequence databases, DDBJ, EMBL, and GenBank. Sequences are prepared for submission by using NCBI's software tools Sequin or tbl2asn. Each center has an FTP directory into which new or updated sequence files are placed. Sequence data in this division are available for BLAST homology searches against either the htgs database or the month database, which includes all new submissions for the prior month. Unfinished HTG sequences containing contigs greater than 2 kb are assigned an accession number and deposited in the HTG division. A typical HTG record might consist of all the first-pass sequence data generated from a single cosmid, BAC, YAC, or P1 clone, which together make up more than 2 kb and contain one or more gaps. A single accession number is assigned to this collection of sequences, and each record includes a clear indication of the status (phase 1 or 2) plus a prominent warning that the sequence data are unfinished and may contain errors. The accession number does not change as sequence records are updated; only the most recent version of a HTG record remains in GenBank.
