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.

http://ccdb.ucsd.edu/SAO

Ontology that describes structures from the dimensional range encompassing cellular and subcellular structure, supracellular domains, and macromolecules. It is built according to ontology development best practices (re-use of existing ontologies; formal definitions of terms; use of foundational ontologies). It describes the parts of neurons and glia and how these parts come together to define supracellular structures such as synapses and neuropil. Molecular specializations of each compartment and cell type are identified. The SAO was designed with the goal of providing a means to annotate cellular and subcellular data obtained from light and electron microscopy, including assigning macromolecules to their appropriate subcellular domains. The SAO thus provides a bridge between ontologies that describe molecular species and those concerned with more gross anatomical scales. Because it is intended to integrate into ontological efforts at these other scales, particular care was taken to construct the ontology in a way that supports such integration.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented October 4, 2017.

A sub-project of the Cell Centered Database (http://ccdb.ucsd.edu) providing a public repository for animal imaging data sets from MRI and related techniques. The public AIDB website provides the ability for browsing, visualizing and downloading the animal subjected MRI data. The AIDB is a pilot project to serve the current need for public imaging repositories for animal imaging data. The Cell Centered Database (CCDB) is a web accessible database for high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy. The AIDB data model is modified from the basic model of the CCDB where microscopic images are combined to make 2D, 3D and 4D reconstructions. The CCDB has made available over 40 segmented datasets from high resolution magnetic resonance imaging of inbred mouse strains through the prototype AIDB. These data were acquired as part of the Mouse BIRN project by Drs. G. Allan Johnson and Robert Williams. More information about these data can be found in Badea et al. (2009) (Genetic dissection of the mouse CNS using magnetic resonance microscopy - Pubmed: 19542887)

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

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Software to support registering brain images to the stereotaxic coordinate system of a brain atlas. It was specifically designed to work with the large scale brain mosaics. When data are uploaded to the CCDB, users may launch Jibber, a custom tool for defining correspondence points between the image and an atlas overlay. Jibber automatically downsamples the data, so that users can define the warping and scaling parameters with good interactive performance on the smaller copy. Once the warping transformation is computed, the original image and the transformation matrix are sent to a cluster of computers for warping. The current version of Jetsam is running on a 30 Sun V20 nodes and the execution time is roughly about 20 minutes per GB. The warped images are then automatically registered with an image web server that supports spatial queries based on stereotaxic coordinates. These servers generate optimized downsampled images, which can be displayed by standard online clients regardless of the size of the original image.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Software application that is a web-based tool for viewing and annotating images. The application is based on the open source Google Web Toolkit (GWT) version 1.7, which generates Javascript code that runs on the user''s web browser. No special installation or software other than a Javascript-enabled web browser is required for use. Images to be viewed or annotated are preprocessed into multi-resolution tiles by either the commercial Zoomify preprocessor application or a locally written `zoomify_create'' tool, which produces lossless Portable Network Graphics (PNG) tiles. The WebImageBrowser application reads and manages tiled images in a manner similar to Google Maps or similar applications, allowing viewing of images of arbitrarily large size. The source code is available at https://github.com/OpenCCDB/WebImageBrowser . It requires a build. If you want the annotation function to be enabled, then you will need to install the CCDB schema in the Postgres database.

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.
