Highly characterized cell lines and high quality DNA for cell and genetic research representing a variety of disease states, chromosomal abnormalities, apparently healthy individuals and many distinct human populations. The NIGMS Repository contains more than 10,600 cell lines, primarily fibroblasts and transformed lymphoblasts, and over 5,500 DNA samples. The NIGMS Repository has a major emphasis on heritable diseases and chromosomally aberrant cell lines. In addition, it contains a large collection dedicated to understanding human variation that includes samples from populations around the world, the CEPH collection, the Polymorphism Discovery Resource, and many apparently healthy controls. Human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, many of which were derived from NIGMS Repository fibroblasts, have recently become available through the NIGMS Repository. Sample donation facilitates all areas of research by making available well-characterized materials to any qualified researcher who might have otherwise been unable to invest the time and resources to collect needed samples independently. Donations to the Repository have created a resource of unparalleled scope. Samples from the collection have been used in more than 5,500 publications and are distributed to scientists in more than 50 countries. This resource is continuously expanding to support new directions in human genetics.

The Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) project aims to develop high quality, standard graphical languages for representing biological processes and interactions. Each SBGN language is based on the consensus of the broad international SBGN community of biologists, curators and software developers. Over the course of its development many individuals, organizations and companies made invaluable contributions to the SBGN through participating in discussions and meetings, providing feedback on the documentation and worked examples, adopting the standard and spreading the word. Circuit diagrams and Unified Modeling Language diagrams are just two examples of standard visual languages that help accelerate work by promoting regularity, removing ambiguity and enabling software tool support for communication of complex information. Ironically, despite having one of the highest ratios of graphical to textual information, biology still lacks standard graphical notations. The recent deluge of biological knowledge makes addressing this deficit a pressing concern. Toward this goal, we present the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN), a visual language developed by a community of biochemists, modelers and computer scientists. SBGN consists of three complementary languages: process diagram, entity relationship diagram and activity flow diagram. Together they enable scientists to represent networks of biochemical interactions in a standard, unambiguous way. We believe that SBGN will foster efficient and accurate representation, visualization, storage, exchange and reuse of information on all kinds of biological knowledge, from gene regulation, to metabolism, to cellular signaling. A list of software packages known to provide (or have started to develop) support for SBGN notations is available.

http://www.proconsortium.org/pro/

An ontological representation of protein-related entities by explicitly defining them and showing the relationships between them. Each PRO term represents a distinct class of entities (including specific modified forms, orthologous isoforms, and protein complexes) ranging from the taxon-neutral to the taxon-specific. The ontology has a meta-structure encompassing three areas: proteins based on evolutionary relatedness (ProEvo); protein forms produced from a given gene locus (ProForm); and protein-containing complexes (ProComp). NOTICE: The PRO ID format has changed from PRO: to PR: (e.g. PRO:000000563 is now PR:000000563).

An ontology to describe Dictyostelium where the structural makeup of Dictyostelium and its composing parts including the different cell types, throughout its life cycle is defined. There are two main goals for this new tool: (1) promote the consistent annotation of Dictyostelium-specific events, such as phenotypes (already in use), and in the future, of gene expression information; and (2) encourage researchers to use the same terms with the same intended meaning. To this end, all terms are defined. The complete ontology can be browsed using EBI''s ontology browser tool. (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ontology-lookup/browse.do?ontName=DDANAT)

http://stormo.wustl.edu/ScerTF

Catalog of over 1,200 position weight matrices (PWMs) for 196 different yeast transcription factors (TFs). They've curated 11 literature sources, benchmarked the published position-specific scoring matrices against in-vivo TF occupancy data and TF deletion experiments, and combined the most accurate models to produce a single collection of the best performing weight matrices for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ScerTF is useful for a wide range of problems, such as linking regulatory sites with transcription factors, identifying a transcription factor based on a user-input matrix, finding the genes bound/regulated by a particular TF, and finding regulatory interactions between transcription factors. Enter a TF name to find the recommended matrix for a particular TF, or enter a nucleotide sequence to identify all TFs that could bind a particular region.

http://www.peptideatlas.org

Multi-organism, publicly accessible compendium of peptides identified in a large set of tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments. Mass spectrometer output files are collected for human, mouse, yeast, and several other organisms, and searched using the latest search engines and protein sequences. All results of sequence and spectral library searching are subsequently processed through the Trans Proteomic Pipeline to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner to insure a high quality database, along with false discovery rates at the whole atlas level. The raw data, search results, and full builds can be downloaded for other uses. All results of sequence searching are processed through PeptideProphet to derive a probability of correct identification for all results in a uniform manner ensuring a high quality database. All peptides are mapped to Ensembl and can be viewed as custom tracks on the Ensembl genome browser. The long term goal of the project is full annotation of eukaryotic genomes through a thorough validation of expressed proteins. The PeptideAtlas provides a method and a framework to accommodate proteome information coming from high-throughput proteomics technologies. The online database administers experimental data in the public domain. You are encouraged to contribute to the database.

http://www.pathwaycommons.org/pc

Database of publicly available pathways from multiple organisms and multiple sources represented in a common language. Pathways include biochemical reactions, complex assembly, transport and catalysis events, and physical interactions involving proteins, DNA, RNA, small molecules and complexes. Pathways were downloaded directly from source databases. Each source pathway database has been created differently, some by manual extraction of pathway information from the literature and some by computational prediction. Pathway Commons provides a filtering mechanism to allow the user to view only chosen subsets of information, such as only the manually curated subset. The quality of Pathway Commons pathways is dependent on the quality of the pathways from source databases. Pathway Commons aims to collect and integrate all public pathway data available in standard formats. It currently contains data from nine databases with over 1,668 pathways, 442,182 interactions,414 organisms and will be continually expanded and updated. (April 2013)
