A web server and database that organizes, analyzes and predicts interactions between proteins and other biomolecules. For a given protein sequence or structure query, it reports protein-protein, protein-small molecule, protein nucleic acids and protein-ion interactions observed in experimentally-determined structural biological assemblies. It also infers/predicts interacting partners and binding sites by homology, by inspecting the protein complexes formed by close homologs of a given query. To ensure biological relevance of inferred binding sites, the IBIS algorithm clusters binding sites formed by homologs based on binding site sequence and structure conservation.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Located in Spain, the Andalusian Regional Tumour Bank is a regional tumor bank. In the last decades cancer knowledge is growing exponentially due human genome knowledge and technological advantages. However, this disease is the biggest problem of health in Europe, with more than 2,5 million new cases per year. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is now allowing to identify the characteristics that the disease has on each person. The next step is meant to be a great revolution in the treatment of cancer. This scientific development is dependent on the availability of human tumour samples preserved in demanding conditions. Current technology requires the availability of tissue morphological and molecular conditions similar to those that had the sample before being removed. Tumor banks are responsible for these new quality requirements to foster the development of research and health care of patients.

This collection of software is designed to rapidly identify identifies primer and microarray probe binding sites for a query sequence in genomic DNA. This software suite has four main programs:1. A program for indexing a sequence file to speed up the binding site search. 2. A program for retrieving the binding sites of a query sequence. 3. A program for identifying sites where PCR primers could co-operate to exponentially amplify a sequence 4. A program for analyzing a set of binding sites to tailor the search for different reaction conditions. This software is implemented in C.

The only national patient waiting list and an online database system, called UNet, that links all of the professionals involved in the donation and transplantation system for the collection, storage, analysis, and publication of all OPTN data pertaining to the patient waiting list, organ matching, and transplants. The system contains data regarding every organ donation and transplant event occurring in the U.S. since October 1, 1987. UNet is a fail-safe, 24/7, secure Internet-based transplant information database created to enable the nation''''s organ transplant institutions to: * register patients for transplants * match donated organs to waiting patients * manage the time-sensitive, life-critical data of all patients, before and after their transplants Data reports are available by type: National Data, Regional Data, State Data, Center Data, Build Advanced Report, and Annual Report Data. UNet is being used right now by all of the nation''''s organ transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, and histocompatibility (tissue typing) laboratories working cooperatively to efficiently share a limited number of donated organs among thousands of patients.

The Tissue Procurement Core Facility and Tumor Bank is a collaborative effort between the Siteman Cancer Center and the Department of Pathology and Immunology. This shared resource facility provides the resources, infrastructure, and technologies for biospecimen-based translational pathology research. Services include: Tissue Procurement, Processing, and Storage; Archival Frozen Tissue Bank; and Laser Capture Microdissection. * Tissue Procurement, Processing, and Storage: For investigators initiating new protocols that involve biospecimen collection (e.g. solid tissues, blood, bone marrow), the Core can provide model consent forms and personnel to collect specimens through the Division of Surgical Pathology and other clinical sites on campus. Solid tissues are usually snap frozen in the surgical pathology suite, although investigators may request alternate preservation methods. Blood specimens are generally processed to frozen serum aliquots and peripheral leukocyte cell pellets. Other specimens (e.g. lymph node needle aspirations) that may be obtained in a variety of other patient care areas can be collected and processed immediately by a staff member who is on call at all times to receive specimens. * Archival Frozen Tissue Bank: For investigators desiring immediate access to material for molecular and histological studies, an archive of over 18,000 frozen human biospecimens is available. Specimens include solid tumors, patient-matched non-malignant tissue, serum, and peripheral blood leukocytes. Each specimen is accompanied with basic patient demographic information and pathology diagnostic data. Generally, each frozen tissue specimen is reviewed to confirm that the specimen is representative of the written pathology diagnosis. Investigators may request frozen tissue sections for immunohistochemical analysis, genomic DNA, protein extracts, or cellular RNA derived from any specimen in the archive. * RNA Assessment: Cellular RNA prepared by the Core from banked specimens or any other RNA submitted by investigators can be qualitatively assessed by Agilent Bioanalyzer capillary microelectrophoresis and quantified by fiberoptic spectrophotometry, prior to use for downstream applications such as microarray or qRT-PCR analysis. * Laser Capture Microdissection: Pure cell populations are often needed for clonality, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), gene mutation, and mRNA expression analysis studies. The Core''s Pixcell II Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) instrument can be used to dissect pure populations of cells from heterogeneous tissue sections. The instrument greatly enhances the speed and ease of dissection as compared to traditional manual methods. The instrument is available for use to investigators who wish to microdissect cells from either specimens stored in the Tissue Procurement Core or their own sets of collected tissue specimens.

Non-profit research institution that studies marine and non-marine organisms to learn about the basic biology of life. Our scientists make critical discoveries about how organisms adapt to their environment and how environment, health, and genetics are related. They study a wide range of organisms such as sharks, skates, and sea urchins to learn about development and regeneration. They investigate the root causes of diseases like cystic fibrosis, and they examine the mechanisms that make living creatures age. Research at MDIBL takes place within three centers: the Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine, the Martha and Wistar Morris Center for Environmental Health Sciences, and the John W. and Jean C. Boylan Center for Cellular and Molecular Physiology. Scientists at each center include both permanent MDIBL faculty and adjunct faculty who come to MDIBL for a few weeks or an entire season, often year after year. Short courses, symposia, and fellowships provide research experience and training to students and scientists at all levels, from high school and college through medical school and senior investigators. Our education programs are always hands-on and engage students in meaningful research. MDIBL is the lead institution for the Maine IDeA Network for Biomedical Researcha research and education network linking MDIBL with The Jackson Laboratory and ten Maine colleges and universities.
