Abbreviated reference atlas for the P56 mouse. All sections were nissl stained and digitized. To assist in the initial identification of sites of gene expression sites, maps of brains are available for E15.5, P7 and the adult. These maps depict the boundaries of major brain regions (cortex, thalamus, striatum, globus pallidus, ventral striatum, septum, basal forebrain, hippocampus, midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum) and also show the more prominent nerve tracts. Maps are most efficiently used by placing the window depicting the map of interest next to the gene expression image. Browsing is permitted between planes of sectioning thus allowing the most appropriate plane to be selected. Abbreviations are found in a list accessed by clicking the see abbreviation link at the bottom of each map. Alternatively, passing the cursor directly across the abbreviation on the map will result in the appearance of the appropriate term in the rider on top of the map panel. The annotation of anatomical details such as brain nuclei is currently beyond the scope of the GenePaint database. Hence, such information on the anatomy of the brain and embryo should be obtained from published atlases of mouse anatomy (Kaufman, 1995; Paxinos and Franklin, 2001; Jacobowitz and Abbott, 1997; Schambra et al., 1992; Valverde1998).

Database of key numbers in molecular and cell biology--the quantitative properties of biological systems of interest to computational, systems and molecular cell biologists. Contents of the database range from cell sizes to metabolite concentrations, from reaction rates to generation times, from genome sizes to the number of mitochondria in a cell. Along with the numbers, you'll find the relevant references to the original literature, useful comments, and related numbers. While always of importance to biologists, having numbers in hand is becoming increasingly critical for experimenting, modeling, and analyzing biological systems. BioNumbers was motivated by an appreciation of how long it can take to find even the simplest number in the vast biological literature. All numbers are taken directly from a literature source and that reference is provided with the number. BioNumbers is designed to be highly searchable and queries can be performed by keywords or browsed by menus. BioNumbers is a collaborative community platform where registered users can add content and make comments on existing data. All new entries and commentary are curated to maintain high quality.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Database and customized tools to study the PFAM protein domain content of the transcriptome for all expressed genes of Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans tethered to both a genomics array repository database and a range of external information resources. GeneSpeed has merged information from several existing data sets including the Gene Ontology Consortium, InterPro, Pfam, Unigene, as well as micro-array datasets. GeneSpeed is a database of PFAM domain homology contained within Unigene. Because Unigene is a non-redundant dbEST database, this provides a wide encompassing overview of the domain content of the expressed transcriptome. We have structured the GeneSpeed Database to include a rich toolset allowing the investigator to study all domain homology, no matter how remote. As a result, homology cutoff score decisions are determined by the scientist, not by a computer algorithm. This quality is one of the novel defining features of the GeneSpeed database giving the user complete control of database content. In addition to a domain content toolset, GeneSpeed provides an assortment of links to external databases, a unique and manually curated Transcription Factor Classification list, as well as links to our newly evolving GeneSpeed BetaCell Database. GeneSpeed BetaCell is a micro-array depository combined with custom array analysis tools created with an emphasis around the meta analysis of developmental time series micro-array datasets and their significance in pancreatic beta cells.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, Documented on March 24, 2014. A resource for gene expression studies, storing highly curated MIAME-compliant studies (i.e. experiments) employing a variety of technologies such as filter arrays, 2-channel microarrays, Affymetrix chips, SAGE, MPSS and RT-PCR. Data were available for querying and downloading based on the MGED ontology, publications or genes. Both public and private studies (the latter viewable only by users having appropriate logins and permissions) were available from this website. Specific details on protocols, biomaterials, study designs, etc., are collected through a user-friendly suite of web annotation forms. Software has been developed to generate MAGE-ML documents to enable easy export of studies stored in RAD to any other database accepting data in this format. RAD is part of a more general Genomics Unified Schema (http://gusdb.org), which includes a richly annotated gene index (http://allgenes.org), thus providing a platform that integrates genomic and transcriptomic data from multiple organisms. NOTE: Due to changes in technology and funding, the RAD website is no longer available. RAD as a schema is still very much active and incorporated in the GUS (Genomics Unified Schema) database system used by CBIL (EuPathDB, Beta Cell Genomics) and others. The schema for RAD can be viewed along with the other GUS namespaces through our Schema Browser.

A physiologic and molecular look at drug addiction involving many factors including: basic neurobiology, a scientific examination of drug action in the brain, the role of genetics in addiction, and ethical considerations. Designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public, the materials meet selected US education standards for science and health. Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by changes in the brain which result in a compulsive desire to use a drug. A combination of many factors including genetics, environment and behavior influence a person's addiction risk, making it an incredibly complicated disease. The new science of addiction considers all of these factors - from biology to family - to unravel the complexities of the addicted brain. * Natural Reward Pathways Exist in the Brain: The reward pathway is responsible for driving our feelings of motivation, reward and behavior. * Drugs Alter the Brain's Reward Pathway: Drugs work over time to change the reward pathway and affect the entire brain, resulting in addiction. * Genetics Is An Important Factor In Addiction: Genetic susceptibility to addiction is the result of the interaction of many genes. * Timing and Circumstances Influence Addiction: If you use drugs when you are an adolescent, you are more likely to develop lifetime addiction. An individual's social environment also influences addiction risk. * Challenges and Issues in Addiction: Addiction impacts society with many ethical, legal and social issues.
