Public data warehouse for searching cell line data extracted from both ATCC and HyperCLDB. The knowledge base uses the Cell Line Ontology, created with the Protege ontology editing tool from the National Center for Biomedical Ontologies (NCBO) and merges concepts from other ontologies, including the Cell Type Ontology. The Cell Line Knowledge Base uses our Cell Line Ontology as the underlying data model. The ontology defines the following cell line attributes: Cell Line ID, Organism, Tissue, Pathology, Growth Mode, MeSH ID. To report errors in the data or to add cell line data to the knowledge base, please email: clbk-data (at) umich.edu

An interactive reference atlas providing a systematic overview of cyto- and chemoarchectonical features of the hippocampus proper, fasciola, and associated parahippocampal cortices. This atlas system has been developed to serve the need to integrate detailed descriptions of structures and criteria defining boundaries and atlas images in which the underlying histological features can be explored. Features * Alphabetical and hierarchical overview of 18 hippocampal structures * Detailed, illustrated descriptions of 63 boundaries * Interactive image repository with ~100 coronal histological images stained for NeuN, calbindin, and parvalbumin * Triple image viewer in which differently stained neighboring sections can be interactively compared * Graphical overlay of substructures based on described boundary criteria * Bidirectional links between structure descriptions and image repository The atlas is based on histological material from an adult Long Evans rat, stained for NeuN, calbindin, and parvalbumin. The system is intended for researchers working in the field, as well as students interested in this brain region. The atlas is accessed through the structure index or image viewer. Re-use of data from this repository is allowed provided that reference is given to the publication.

The Peptide Sequence Database contains putative peptide sequences from human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. Compressed to eliminate redundancy, these are about 40 fold smaller than a brute force enumeration. Current and old releases are available for download. Each species'' peptide sequence database comprises peptide sequence data from releveant species specific UniGene and IPI clusters, plus all sequences from their consituent EST, mRNA and protein sequence databases, namely RefSeq proteins and mRNAs, UniProt''s SwissProt and TrEMBL, GenBank mRNA, ESTs, and high-throughput cDNAs, HInv-DB, VEGA, EMBL, IPI protein sequences, plus the enumeration of all combinations of UniProt sequence variants, Met loss PTM, and signal peptide cleavages. The README file contains some information about the non amino-acid symbols O (digest site corresponding to a protein N- or C-terminus) and J (no digest sequence join) used in these peptide sequence databases and information about how to configure various search engines to use them. Some search engines handle (very) long sequences badly and in some cases must be patched to use these peptide sequence databases. All search engines supported by the PepArML meta-search engine can (or can be patched to) successfully search these peptide sequence databases.

Multidimensional atlas of the adult Wistar rat brain based on magnetic resonance histology (MRH). The atlas has been carefully aligned with the widely used Paxinos-Watson atlas based on optical sections to allow comparisons between histochemical and immuno-marker data, and the use of the Paxinos-Watson abbreviation set. Our MR atlas attempts to make a seamless connection with the advantageous features of the Paxinos-Watson atlas, and to extend the utility of the data through the unique capabilities of MR histology: a) ability to view the brain in the skull with limited distortion from shrinkage or sectioning; b) isotropic spatial resolution, which permits sectioning along any arbitrary axis without loss of detail; c) three-dimensional (3D) images preserving spatial relationships; and d) widely varied contrast dependent on the unique properties of water protons. 3D diffusion tensor images (DTI) at what we believe to be the highest resolution ever attained in the rat provide unique insight into white matter structures and connectivity. The 3D isotropic data allow registration of multiple data sets into a common reference space to provide average atlases not possible with conventional histology. The resulting multidimensional atlas that combines Paxinos-Watson with multidimensional MRH images from multiple specimens provides a new, comprehensive view of the neuroanatomy of the rat and offers a collaborative platform for future rat brain studies. To access the atlas, click view supplementary materials in CIVMSpace at the bottom of the following webpage.
