http://neuromorpho.org/index.jsp

Centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications that contains some of the most complete axonal arborizations digitally available in the community. Each neuron is represented by a unique identifier, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction, and a set of morphometric features. It contains contributions from over 100 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. Users may browse by species, brain region, cell type or lab name. Users can also download morphological reconstructions for research and analysis. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss. Centralized curation and annotation aims at minimizing the effort required by data owners while ensuring a unified format. It also provides a one-stop entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact.

Data set of pictures representing genetic linkage maps of the rat resulting from the integration of two F2 intercrosses (SHRSP x BN and FHH x ACI). Markers in common between the two crosses are connected by a line to define integration points. There are a total of 4,786 markers on these maps; 4375 WIBR/MIT CGR markers; 223 markers from the previously released Mit/Mgh rat maps and 188 markers from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Arb rat maps. Pictures are drawn to a scale of 5cm (Kosombi) per inch. The changes in color of the backbone of the chromosome for each cross represents the space between any two framework loci. Markers in blue type are framework loci. Markers in green type are unique placement loci. Markers in black type are bouncy placement loci.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented June 5, 2017. It has been merged with Cell Image Library. Database for sharing and mining cellular and subcellular high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy, including correlated imaging that makes unique and valuable datasets available to the scientific community for visualization, reuse and reanalysis. Techniques range from wide field mosaics taken with multiphoton microscopy to 3D reconstructions of cellular ultrastructure using electron tomography. Contributions from the community are welcome. The CCDB was designed around the process of reconstruction from 2D micrographs, capturing key steps in the process from experiment to analysis. The CCDB refers to the set of images taken from microscope the as the Microscopy Product. The microscopy product refers to a set of related 2D images taken by light (epifluorescence, transmitted light, confocal or multiphoton) or electron microscopy (conventional or high voltage transmission electron microscopy). These image sets may comprise a tilt series, optical section series, through focus series, serial sections, mosaics, time series or a set of survey sections taken in a single microscopy session that are not related in any systematic way. A given set of data may be more than one product, for example, it is possible for a set of images to be both a mosaic and a tilt series. The Microscopy Product ID serves as the accession number for the CCDB. All microscopy products must belong to a project and be stored along with key specimen preparation details. Each project receives a unique Project ID that groups together related microscopy products. Many of the datasets come from published literature, but publication is not a prerequisite for inclusion in the CCDB. Any datasets that are of high quality and interest to the scientific community can be included in the CCDB.

https://www.genevestigator.com/gv/

A high performance search engine for gene expression that integrates thousands of manually curated public microarray and RNAseq experiments and nicely visualizes gene expression across different biological contexts (diseases, drugs, tissues, cancers, genotypes, etc.). There are two basic analysis approaches: # for a gene of interest, identify which conditions affect its expression. # for condition(s) of interest, identify which genes are specifically expressed in this/these conditions. Genevestigator builds on the deep integration of data, both at the level of data normalization and on the level of sample annotations. This deep integration allows scientists to ask new types of questions that cannot be addressed using conventional tools.

Database of microRNA target predictions and expression profiles. Target predictions are based on a development of the miRanda algorithm which incorporates current biological knowledge on target rules and on the use of an up-to-date compendium of mammalian microRNAs. MicroRNA expression profiles are derived from a comprehensive sequencing project of a large set of mammalian tissues and cell lines of normal and disease origin. This website enables users to explore: * The set of genes that are potentially regulated by a particular microRNA. * The implied cooperativity of multiple microRNAs on a particular mRNA. * MicroRNA expression profiles in various mammalian tissues. The web resource provides users with functional information about the growing number of microRNAs and their interaction with target genes in many species and facilitates novel discoveries in microRNA gene regulation.

The Edwards lab conducts research in various aspects of computational biology and bioinformatics, particularly proteomics and mass spectrometry informatics and DNA and protein based signatures for pathogen detection. Some tools provided by Edwards Lab are the PepArML Meta-Search Engine, PeptideMapper Web-Service, Peptide Sequence Databases, Rapid Microorganism Identification Database (RMIDb), and GlycoPeptideSearch. Our primary area of research is the analysis of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics. Proteomics, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the expressed proteins of a cell, makes it possible to detect and compare the protein abundance profiles of different samples. Proteins observed to be under or over expressed in disease samples can lead to diagnostic markers or drug targets. The observation of mutated or alternatively spliced protein isoforms may provide domain experts with clues to the mechanisms by which a disease operates. The detection of proteins by mass spectrometry can even signal the presence of airborne microorganisms, such as anthrax, in the detect-to-protect time-frame. Recent research has focused on the discovery of novel peptides in proteomics datasets, improving the sensitivity and specificity of peptide identification using spectral matching with hidden Markov models, and unsupervised machine-learning based peptide identification result combining. Outside of proteomics, we work on computational tools for the design of highly specific oligonucleotides useful for pathogen signatures and PCR assay design. Recent research has focused on precomputing all human oligos of length 20 that are unique up to 4 string edits; and all bacterial 20-mer oligos that are species specific up to 4 string edits.

http://akt.ucsf.edu/EGAN/

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible
