Curator Dashboard

Open-source software tool to assign taxonomic labels to as many reads as possible in very large metagenomic datasets and report the taxonomic profile of the input sample. The quick "single pass" analysis of every read allows read binning to support additional more computationally expensive analysis such as metagenomic assembly or sensitive database searches on targeted subsets of reads.

Repository of genetic samples from approximately 3,000 families, each of which has one child affected with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and parents unaffected with ASD. A central database characterizing all of the study subjects is available to any qualified researcher and biospecimens are freely available to SFARI grant holders, and to other researchers on a modest fee-for-use basis. Each genetic sample will have an associated collection of data that provides a precise characterization of the individual (phenotype). Rigorous phenotyping will maximize the value of the resource for a wide variety of future research projects into the causes and mechanisms of autism. The Simons Simplex Collection is operated by SFARI in collaboration with twelve university-affiliated research clinics.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 24,2025. In 2009, the Medical School and the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) unveiled a new biorepository for U-M researchers in need of a controlled storage environment for biological samples. MICHR is pleased to be able to add to its many services for the research community a centralized biological repository for controlled storage of biological samples, and related services (including DNA, RNA, and other downstream preparation) within the U-M campus. The biorepository, located in the CAP/CLIA-certified Michigan Center for Translational Pathology (MCTP) laboratory at the U-M Traverwood facility on Huron Parkway, will store biologic material, including blood and urine. Sample accessioning and tracking will be accomplished using the caTISSUE suite of programs, and samples will be processed and stored in compliance with CAP/CLIA guidelines. Initially, all samples will be used only with the authorization of the individual investigator who directed the project under which the samples were obtained. Samples will be used in accordance with the relevant informed consent. Long-term plans include federating the database in order to facilitate sharing of data and samples between research teams.

At the UMACC our mission is to improve the lives of individuals with autistic spectrum disorders and their families through the education of current and future leaders in the field, research that enhances the understanding of causation, intervention, prevention, and course, and provision of clinical services to individuals, families and the community. At UMACC, research and training initiatives strengthen clinical services by incorporating the latest research findings and sharing this information with families. At the same time, families have the opportunity to be a part of the research studies-and help expand scientific knowledge through their participation.

Since its creation in 1990, the mission of the Genethon''s DNA and Cell Bank is to promote advances in genetic research by providing the scientific community with a high quality cell and human tissue products resource. Europe''s leading bank for genetic diseases, it serves the whole of the medical and scientific community. Each year, Genethon''s DNA and Cell Bank: * Produces approximately 2,000 lymphoblastoid cell lines * Performs approximately 3,000 DNA extractions * Prepares primary myoblast and fibroblast cultures from approximately 100 biopsies Genethon has developed a computer database for ensuring sample management and traceability, which has been submitted to and approved by the CNIL. The Genethon DNA and Cell Bank has been AFNOR certified, according to French biological research center standard NF S 96-900. The activities of the DNA and Cell Bank are as follows: * Collecting blood or DNA from patients affected with genetic diseases and their families with the minimum identification data necessary for the monitoring and follow-up of samples. * Processing the samples in order to make them available to the scientific community and perpetuating DNA preservation (serum isolation and DNA extraction), isolating lymphocytes and establishing lymphoblastoid B lines and primary cultures (mainly myoblasts and fibroblasts). * Storing samples for future research and preserving the genetic heritage by ensuring the long-term physical security of the preserved samples. * Distributing samples as necessary for ongoing research while complying with the principles and laws of bioethics and using the best available technologies at minimum cost.All these activities are carried out following Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) validated by the Quality Assurance department at Genethon. The Bank is open to researchers in France or abroad wishing to store samples or use the services provided (extraction, establishment of cell lines etc.). Each sample received at Genethon is coded in order to guarantee confidentiality, in accordance with the rules established by the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority). All requests for collaboration with the DNA and Cell Bank should be made in writing to Dr Safaa SAKER-DELYE.

The Central England Haemato-Oncology Research Biobank stores excess material from oncology samples referred for diagnostic testing and disease monitoring at the West Midlands Regional Genetics Laboratory (WMRGL). The bank is housed within the WMRGL. Types of material stored include viable cells, fixed cell suspensions, DNA, RNA / cDNA, and plasma. The material is made available to all cancer research groups both locally and nationally. Excess sample (mainly from blood and bone marrow) is stored from diagnostic patient material and from samples received throughout their disease course. The WMRGL serves a population of about 5.5 million and is the largest UK NHS genetic Lab. Due to the large patient population CEHRB is able to collate sufficient research material from all classifications of neoplastic haematological disorders including those that are rare.

SAS is a tool for applying structural information to a given protein sequence. It uses FASTA to scan a given protein sequence against all the proteins of known 3D structure in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The resultant multiple alignment can be colored according to different structural features and the matching 3D structures can be superimposed and viewed in RasMol. Use the form to identify your protein sequence of interest by: a) providing a PDB code, b) providing a UniProt code or accession number, c) pasting in your sequence, or d) uploading a PDB file. By default the whole PDB will be searched, but you can restrict the search using the Search Option box at the bottom.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. BioVU is a research resource providing a View into biology at the level of DNA and other important macromolecules. BioVU has two major components. The first is a repository of DNA samples (extracted from discarded blood samples) that are coded solely by a Research Unique Identifier (RUI) derived from the Medical Record Number (MRN) using a one-way hash function. This is a computer algorithm that creates a transformation of each MRN such that the resulting RUI (which is in this instance is a 512 byte identifier) is unique, and has the property that it is not possible to infer or compute the MRN that generated it. As of early 2009, over 50,000 DNA samples were in the biobank, with new samples being added at the rate of approximately 700 per week. The second component of the resource is the creation of a database known as the Synthetic Derivative which is a collection of de-identified information extracted from VUMC''s electronic clinical information systems, indexed by the same one-way RUI used to track samples, and with content changed by deletion or permutation of all identifiers contained within each record. The Synthetic Derivative search interface is available to Vanderbilt researchers via the StarBRITE research portal created and maintained by the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. This user interface enables investigators meeting protocol approval criteria and other user agreement requirements to receive protocol-specific sets of data derived from DNA samples and from the Synthetic Derivative., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
