Owl Monkey research portal that is a national resource providing owl monkeys of known genetic background, tissues, cell lines and biological fluids from owl monkeys, and a registry of normal values and reagents that can be used in studies that utilize owl monkeys. This is the only such resource for owl monkeys available to the NIH extramural grantee community and has expanded the mission of the Keeling Center's Neotropical Primate Breeding and Research Resource (NPBRR) to a second New World monkey genus. This resource helps meet the needs of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intramural malaria research program. The longer term goal, to create a self-sustaining breeding resource of owl monkeys, is being accomplished by applying expertise that has been developed at the NPBRR for owl monkeys with resource-related research that specifically focuses on reducing adult mortality and improving reproductive efficiency of the owl monkey. This project is helping address the need for resources of alternative primate species to reduce the demand for rhesus monkeys, which are in critically short supply. The OBMRR meets the needs of the biomedical research community in three ways: * It provides a national resource for laboratory-born owl monkeys. The resource provides tissues and biological fluids to investigators throughout the country, thus reducing the need for living animals for these studies. * It has an active research component that continues to add new information about the biology of the owl monkey, with a particular emphasis on reproduction and colony management. * The resource is a source of expertise for owl monkey biology, management and husbandry that can be accessed by anyone anytime.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. A clinical database and PTB were created in 1990 and 2000, respectively, to collect clinical information and biospecimens from patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer, other pancreatic diseases, and tumors of the duodenum, ampulla of Vater, and distal bile duct. Standard procedures for biospecimen collection and data entry were developed. The use of human tissue for research is an invaluable tool to understand the basic mechanisms of tumor biology, which will hopefully lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to pancreatic cancer treatment. The cornerstone of any large translational research program is the development of an accurate and comprehensive tumor bank. All tumors removed in the operating room are sampled for careful pathologic study and the remainder of the tumor is promptly stored in our Pancreas Tissue Bank (PTB) to be used for research. Other samples, including blood, pancreatic juice and biopsy material, can also be utilized to identify early markers for pancreatic cancer. The molecular profile of tumors in the PTB can be linked to information in our clinical database to provide insight on the relationship between molecular events and clinical outcome. Patients may contribute to the tissue banking effort by choosing to participate in select research protocols. Protecting patient privacy is of great importance and thus, to maintain the confidentiality of health information, the PTB complies with all federal and institutional regulations governing research with human participants.

http://bioinformatics.mdanderson.org/main/SpliceSeq:Overview
A Java application to investigate alternative mRNA splicing patterns in data from high-throughput mRNA sequencing studies. Sequence reads are mapped to splice graphs that unambiguously quantify the inclusion level of each exon and splice junction. The graphs are then traversed to predict the protein isoforms that are likely to result from the observed exon and splice junction reads. UniProt annotations are mapped to each protein isoform to identify potential functional impacts of alternative splicing. This tool may be used on a single RNASeq sample to identify genes with multiple spliceforms, on a pair of samples to identify differential splicing between the two, or on groups of samples to identify statistically significant group level differences in splicing patterns. SpliceSeq can be run from the install page as a java web start application to explore the sequencing data on their server or can be installed locally to analyze your own mRNA-Seq data.

One of only four NCRR-supported centers with the capability to conduct biomedical research in the chimpanzee, it offers chimpanzee-derived cell lines, antibodies and other biological materials, along with a registry of biologic reagents that are known to work in the chimpanzee. The Resource and Management Core is responsible for providing animal resources, tissues/biological fluids, cell lines, expert advice and research support to NIH extramural and intramural programs, other federal agencies and private sponsors. The Resource-Related Research Core conducts research to improve the health of the animals maintained, with special emphasis on studies that will enhance the usefulness of the chimpanzee as a model for studies of human disease. Resource-related research will focus on characterization of the immune system of the chimpanzee, expansion of our understanding of chimpanzee cardiomyopathy as a potential human disease model and comparisons of the physiologic and immunological consequences of research manipulations on chimpanzees trained to voluntarily cooperate with research procedures. By expanding the resources available, conducting resource-related research and containing costs, the CBRR will continue to provide a critically important, highly specialized research resource to address important human health issues.

This colony provides a national resource of rhesus monkeys and their tissues to carry out research benefiting the scientific community. The RMBRR maintains a colony of monkeys that have been derived to be specific pathogen free for members of both the herpes and retrovirus families. Over its history, the RMBRR has developed specialized management techniques, housing facilities and highly trained staff to avail these purposefully bred laboratory models, which are 93% genetically identical to humans, to researchers worldwide. Historically, this animal model has been instrumental in research involving blood classification, polio vaccine development, and drug safety and efficacy while currently they are the preferred model for studying the mechanisms of immunodeficiency diseases. Their susceptibility to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus and their homology to the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I, II and TCR genes make them valuable in HIV research. They are currently the models of choice for HIV/AIDS vaccine development and study. Other areas of research include atherosclerosis, myocarditis, alcoholism, diabetes, cancer and aging. The overall objectives of this resource are to improve the resources available at the RMBRR and to conduct resource-relevant research that improves both the health of the rhesus colony and its usefulness for studies of human disease. The Resource and Management Core is responsible for providing animal resources, tissues/biological fluids, cell lines, expert advice and research support to NIH extramural and intramural programs, other federal agencies and to private sponsors. The Resource-Related Research Core conducts research to improve the health of the animals maintained with special emphasis on studies that will enhance the usefulness of the rhesus as a model for studies of human disease.
