Tissue and pathology services (ACVP board certified Veterinary Pathologists), full histology services (including immunohistochemistry and frozen sectioning), and protocol development consultation are available. The Pathology and Tissue Program is an integration of comparative pathology activities occurring at the Washington National Primate Research Center and those occurring within the University of Washington Department of Comparative Medicine ((DCM). Using this model, Washington National Primate Research Center pathologists provide routine pathology support for Washington National Primate Research Center animals, with ancillary support, expertise, and guidance provided by DCM pathologists and mission-dedicated technicians and laboratories. This integrated comparative pathology unit also provides an excellent training opportunity for students such as those enrolled in the Department of Comparative Medicine post-doctoral training program, which offers training in laboratory animal medicine and comparative pathology. A particularly important function of this comparative pathology unit is support of the Tissue Distribution Program. The TDP provides a wide variety of nonhuman primate tissues to investigative groups within and outside the WaNPRC. This program is an extremely valuable method of conserving the nonhuman primate resource. NHP tissues and biological materials are collected in preparation for RNA/DNA isolation, cell culture, immunohistochemistry/histology, anatomic dissection, and cell sorting. Capabilities of the TDP include, but are not limited to flash frozen preservation, sterile preparation, perfusion, technical surgical dissections, and OCT embedding. In conjunction with the Histology and Imaging core of the University of Washington DCM, research capabilities post-collection include in situ hybridization, confocal and fluorescent microscopy, live cell imaging (DeltaVision), and whole slide scanning with image analysis (Visiopharm, Nikon Elements, and Image Pro). Centralized coordination of nonhuman primate tissue requests with animal availability allows support for a large number of biomedical programs with significantly decreased impact on the animal resource.

tranSMART is a knowledge management platform that enables scientists to develop and refine research hypotheses by investigating correlations between genetic and phenotypic data, and assessing their analytical results in the context of published literature and other work. tranSMART is licensed through GPL 3. The integration, normalization, and alignment of data in tranSMART permits users to explore data very efficiently to formulate new research strategies. Some of tranSMART''s specific applications include: * Revalidating previous hypotheses * Testing and refining novel hypotheses * Conducting cross-study meta-analysis * Searching across multiple data sources to find associations of concepts, such as a gene''s involvement in biological processes or experimental results * Comparing biological processes and pathways among multiple data sets from related diseases or even across multiple therapeutic areas Data Repository The tranSMART Data Repository combines a data warehouse with access to federated sources of open and commercial databases. tranSMART accommodates: * Phenotypic data, such as demographics, clinical observations, clinical trial outcomes, and adverse events * High content biomarker data, such as gene expression, genotyping, pharmacokinetic and pharmaco-dynamics markers, metabolomics data, and proteomics data * Unstructured text-data, such as published journal articles, conference abstracts and proceedings, and internal studies and white papers * Reference data from sources such as MeSH, UMLS, Entrez, GeneGo, Ingenuity, etc. * Metadata providing context about datasets, allowing users to assess the relevance of results delivered by tranSMART Data in tranSMART is aligned to allow identification and analysis of associations between phenotypic and biomarker data, and it is normalized to conform with CDISC and other standards to facilitate search and analysis across different data sources. tranSMART also enables investigators to search published literature and other text sources to evaluate their analysis in the context of the broader universe of reported research. External data can also be integrated into the tranSMART data repository, either from open data projects like GEO, EBI Array Express, GCOD, or GO, or from commercially available data sources. Making data accessible in tranSMART enables organizations to leverage investments in manual curation, development costs of automated ETL tools, or commercial subscription fees across multiple research groups. Dataset Explorer tranSMART''s Dataset Explorer provides flexible, powerful search and analysis capabilities. The core of the Dataset Explorer integrates and extends the open source i2b2 application, Lucene text indexing, and GenePattern analytical tools. Connections to other open source and commercial analytical tools such as Galaxy, Integrative Genomics Viewer, Plink, Pathway Studio, GeneGo, Spotfire, R, and SAS can be established to expand tranSMART''s capabilities. tranSMART''s design allows organizations flexibility in selecting analytical tools accessible through the Dataset Explorer, and provides file export capabilities to enable researchers to use tools not accessible in the tranSMART portal.

A database containing genome-wide brain DNA methylation profiles for human and mouse brains. The DNA methylation profiles were generated by Methylation Mapping Analysis by Paired-end Sequencing (Methyl-MAPS) method and analyzed by Methyl-Analyzer software package. The methylation profiles cover over 80% CpG dinucleotides in human and mouse brains in single-CpG resolution. The integrated genome browser (modified from UCSC Genome Browser allows users to browse DNA methylation profiles in specific genomic loci, to search specific methylation patterns, and to compare methylation patterns between individual samples. Two species were included in the Brain Methylome Database: human and mouse. Human postmortem brain samples were obtained from three distinct cortical regions, i.e., dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), and auditory cortex (AC). Human samples were selected from our postmortem brain collection with extensive neuropathological and psychopathological data, as well as brain toxicology reports. The Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute have assembled this brain collection, where a validated psychological autopsy method is used to generate Axis I and II DSM IV diagnoses and data are obtained on developmental history, history of psychiatric illness and treatment, and family history for each subject. The mouse sample (strain 129S6/SvEv) DNA was collected from the entire left cerebral hemisphere. The three human brain regions were selected because they have been implicated in the neuropathology of depression and schizophrenia. Within each cortical region, both disease and non-psychiatric samples have been profiled (matching subjects by age and sex in each group). Such careful matching of subjects allows one to perform a wide range of queries with the ability to characterize methylation features in non-psychiatric controls, as well as detect differentially methylated domains or features between disease and non-psychiatric samples. A total of 14 non-psychiatric, 9 schizophrenic, and 6 depression methylation profiles are included in the database.
