http://neurolex.org/wiki/Main_Page
A freely editable semantic wiki for community-based curation of the terms used in Neuroscience. Entries are curated and eventually incorporated into the formal NIFSTD ontology. NeuroLex also includes a Resource branch for community members to freely add neuroscience relevant resources that do not become part of NIFSTD ontology but rather make up the NIF Registry. As part of the NIF, we provide a simple search interface to many different sources of neuroscience information and data. To make this search more effective, we are constructing ontologies to help organize neuroscience concepts into category hierarchies, e.g., neuron is a cell. These categories provide the means to perform more effective searches and also to organize and understand the information that is returned. But an important adjunct to this activity is to clearly define all of the terms that we use to describe our data, e.g., anatomical terms, techniques, organism names. Because wikis provide an easy interface for communities to contribute their knowledge, we started the NeuroLex.

Service that partners with the community to expose and simultaneously drill down into individual databases and data sets and return relevant content. This type of content, part of the so called hidden Web, is typically not indexed by existing web search engines. Every record links back to the originating site. In order for NIF to directly query these independently maintained databases and datasets, database providers must register their database or dataset with the NIF Data Federation and specify permissions. Databases are concept mapped for ease of sharing and to allow better understanding of the results. Learn more about registering your resource, http://neuinfo.org/nif_components/disco/interoperation.shtm Search results are displayed under the Data Federation tab and are categorized by data type and nervous system level. In this way, users can easily step through the content of multiple resources, all from the same interface. Each federated resource individually displays their query results with links back to the relevant datasets within the host resource. This allows users to take advantage of additional views on the data and tools that are available through the host database. The NIF site provides tutorials for each resource, indicated by the Professor Icon professor icon showing users how to navigate the results page once directed there through the NIF. Additionally, query results may be exported as an Excel document. Note: NIF is not responsible for the availability or content of these external sites, nor does NIF endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or information described or offered at these external sites. Integrated Databases: Theses virtual databases created by NIF and other partners combine related data indexed from multiple databases and combine them into one view for easier browsing. * Integrated Animal View * Integrated Brain Gene Expression View * Integrated Disease View * Integrated Nervous System Connectivity View * Integrated Podcasts View * Integrated Software View * Integrated Video View * Integrated Jobs * Integrated Blogs For a listing of the Federated Databases see, http://neuinfo.org/mynif/databaseList.php or refer to the Resources Listed by NIF Data Federation table below.

A virtual database of annotations made by 50 database providers (April 2014) - and growing (see below), that map data to publication information. All NIF Data Federation sources can be part of this virtual database as long as they indicate the publications that correspond to data records. The format that NIF accepts is the PubMed Identifier, category or type of data that is being linked to, and a data record identifier. A subset of this data is passed to NCBI, as LinkOuts (links at the bottom of PubMed abstracts), however due to NCBI policies the full data records are not currently associated with PubMed records. Database providers can use this mechanism to link to other NCBI databases including gene and protein, however these are not included in the current data set at this time. (To view databases available for linking see, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3807/#files.Databases_Available_for_Linking ) The categories that NIF uses have been standardized to the following types: * Resource: Registry * Resource: Software * Reagent: Plasmid * Reagent: Antibodies * Data: Clinical Trials * Data: Gene Expression * Data: Drugs * Data: Taxonomy * Data: Images * Data: Animal Model * Data: Microarray * Data: Brain connectivity * Data: Volumetric observation * Data: Value observation * Data: Activation Foci * Data: Neuronal properties * Data: Neuronal reconstruction * Data: Chemosensory receptor * Data: Electrophysiology * Data: Computational model * Data: Brain anatomy * Data: Gene annotation * Data: Disease annotation * Data: Cell Model * Data: Chemical * Data: Pathways For more information refer to Create a LinkOut file, http://neuinfo.org/nif_components/disco/interoperation.shtm Participating resources ( http://disco.neuinfo.org/webportal/discoLinkoutServiceSummary.do?id=4 ): * Addgene http://www.addgene.org/pgvec1 * Animal Imaging Database http://aidb.crbs.ucsd.edu * Antibody Registry http://www.neuinfo.org/products/antibodyregistry/ * Avian Brain Circuitry Database http://www.behav.org/abcd/abcd.php * BAMS Connectivity http://brancusi.usc.edu/ * Beta Cell Biology Consortium http://www.betacell.org/ * bioDBcore http://biodbcore.org/ * BioGRID http://thebiogrid.org/ * BioNumbers http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/ * Brain Architecture Management System http://brancusi.usc.edu/bkms/ * Brede Database http://hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/services/jerne/brede/ * Cell Centered Database http://ccdb.ucsd.edu * CellML Model Repository http://www.cellml.org/models * CHEBI http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/ * Clinical Trials Network (CTN) Data Share http://www.ctndatashare.org/ * Comparative Toxicogenomics Database http://ctdbase.org/ * Coriell Cell Repositories http://ccr.coriell.org/ * CRCNS - Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience - Data sharing http://crcns.org * Drug Related Gene Database https://confluence.crbs.ucsd.edu/display/NIF/DRG * DrugBank http://www.drugbank.ca/ * FLYBASE http://flybase.org/ * Gene Expression Omnibus http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ * Gene Ontology Tools http://www.geneontology.org/GO.tools.shtml * Gene Weaver http://www.GeneWeaver.org * GeneDB http://www.genedb.org/Homepage * Glomerular Activity Response Archive http://gara.bio.uci.edu * GO http://www.geneontology.org/ * Internet Brain Volume Database http://www.cma.mgh.harvard.edu/ibvd/ * ModelDB http://senselab.med.yale.edu/modeldb/ * Mouse Genome Informatics Transgenes ftp://ftp.informatics.jax.org/pub/reports/MGI_PhenotypicAllele.rpt * NCBI Taxonomy Browser http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html * NeuroMorpho.Org http://neuromorpho.org/neuroMorpho * NeuronDB http://senselab.med.yale.edu/neurondb * SciCrunch Registry http://neuinfo.org/nif/nifgwt.html?tab=registry * NIF Registry Automated Crawl Data http://lucene1.neuinfo.org/nif_resource/current/ * NITRC http://www.nitrc.org/ * Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas http://www.nursa.org * Olfactory Receptor DataBase http://senselab.med.yale.edu/ordb/ * OMIM http://omim.org * OpenfMRI http://openfmri.org * PeptideAtlas http://www.peptideatlas.org * RGD http://rgd.mcw.edu * SFARI Gene: AutDB https://gene.sfari.org/autdb/Welcome.do * SumsDB http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/ * Temporal-Lobe: Hippocampal - Parahippocampal Neuroanatomy of the Rat http://www.temporal-lobe.com/ * The Cell: An Image Library http://www.cellimagelibrary.org/ * Visiome Platform http://platform.visiome.neuroinf.jp/ * WormBase http://www.wormbase.org * YPED http://medicine.yale.edu/keck/nida/yped.aspx * ZFIN http://zfin.org

Portal providing identifiers for Antibodies, Model Organisms, and Tools (software, databases, services) created in support of the Resource Identification Initiative, which aims to promote research resource identification, discovery, and reuse. The portal offers a central location for obtaining and exploring Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) - persistent and unique identifiers for referencing a research resource. A critical goal of the RII is the widespread adoption of RRIDs to cite resources in the biomedical literature and other places that reference their generation or use. RRIDs use established community identifiers where they exist, and are cross-referenced in their system where more than one identifier exists for a single resource.

MMMDB, Mouse Multiple tissue Metabolome DataBase, is a freely available metabolomic database containing a collection of metabolites measured from multiple tissues from single mice. The datases are collected using a single instrument and not integrated from literatures, which is useful for capturing the holistic overview of large metabolomic pathway. Currently data from cerabra, cerebella, thymus, spleen, lung, liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, testis, and plasma are provided. Non-targeted analyses were performed by capillary electropherograms time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS) and, therefore, both identified metabolites and unknown (without matched standard) peaks were uploaded to this database. Not only quantified concentration but also processed raw data such as electropherogram, mass spectrometry, and annotation (such as isotope and fragment) are provided.

mirEX is a comprehensive platform for comparative analysis of primary microRNA expression data. quantitative real-time PCR-based gene expression profiles are stored in a universal and expandable database scheme and wrapped by an intuitive user-friendly interface. A new way of accessing gene expression data in mirEX includes a simple mouse operated querying system and dynamic graphs for data mining analyses. In contrast to other publicly available databases, the mirEX interface allows a simultaneous comparison of expression levels between various microRNA genes in diverse organs and developmental stages. Currently, mirEX integrates information about the expression profile of 190 Arabidopsis thaliana pri-miRNAs in seven different developmental stages: seeds, seedlings and various organs of mature plants. Additionally, by providing RNA structural models, publicly available deep sequencing results, experimental procedure details and careful selection of auxiliary data in the form of web links, mirEX can function as a one-stop solution for Arabidopsis microRNA information. This database aims to be useful to anyone investigating the role of microRNAs in shaping plant development, organ formation and response to different biotic and abiotic stresses. To start exploring the database just press the "Browse Atlas" button or search for a particular microRNA record by typing at least two numbers from its ID in the window.

Comprehensive lists of plant and animal species, with a rarity rank and legal status for each. It has has over 635,000 geo-located records of species occurrences and over 40,000 records of extremely rare to uncommon species in the Atlantic region, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. The Atlantic CDC also maintains biological and other types of data in a variety of linked databases. The CDC welcomes inquiries from those who would like to contribute data about plant or animal species at risk or rare communities in Atlantic Canada. Its mission is to assemble and provide objective and understandable data and expertise about species and ecological communities of conservation concern, including those at risk, and undertake field biological inventories to support decision-making, research, and education in Atlantic Canada. The Atlantic CDC develops species location data, known as element occurrence records. Occurrence precision (accuracy) ranges from quite precise (within meters) to less precise (within counties) but most commonly it is within 1 5 km. Element occurrence (EO) refers to one or more locations considered important to the continued existence of a species or ecological community. For species, over 30 types of data: taxonomy, biology, etc. are typically examined when identifying EOs. An EO is generally the habitat occupied by a local population. However, occurrence varies among species and some species have more than one type of occurrence (e.g., breeding and winter occurrences). Breeding colonies, breeding ponds, denning sites, and hibernacula are general examples of different types of animal EOs. For an ecological community, an EO may be the area containing a patch of that community type.
