Repository of rejections of papers - letters and comments - that were ultimately accepted by a journal to educate others. Your rejection letters and comments are welcome. Some journals have begun including reviewers' comments with accepted papers to make the views of experts available to the reader. However, often the paper has been submitted to several journals and rejected before it is finally accepted. The rejection letters and comments are equally useful in helping to judge what kind of papers might be acceptable to a journal, and what kind of comments lead to rejections. Rather than hiding these low points in the trajectory of a scientific paper, this forum offers a place to publish these letters and comments to educate others.

A catalog of gene-expression data collected from human cells treated with chemical compounds and genetic reagents. Computational methods to reduce the number of necessary genomic measurements along with streamlined methodologies enable the current effort to significantly increase the size of the CMap database and along with it, our potential to connect human diseases with the genes that underlie them and the drugs that treat them. The NIH has funded a large expansion of the Connectivity Map dataset through the Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS). The Broad Institute's LINCS center aims to create a first installment of data generation and analysis for the LINCS program. Through these data LINCS intends to accelerate the discovery process by systematically revealing connections between genes/compounds discovered in screens and molecular pathways that underlie disease states.

Ontology to describe and categorize chemical biology and drug screening assays and their results including high-throughput screening (HTS) data for the purpose of categorizing assays and data analysis. BAO is an extensible, knowledge-based, highly expressive (currently SHOIQ(D)) description of biological assays making use of descriptive logic based features of the Web Ontology Language (OWL). BAO currently has over 700 classes and also makes use of several other ontologies. It describes several concepts related to biological screening, including Perturbagen, Format, Meta Target, Design, Detection Technology, and Endpoint. Perturbagens are perturbing agents that are screened in an assay; they are mostly small molecules. Assay Meta Target describes what is known about the biological system and / or its components interrogated in the assay (and influenced by the Perturbagen). Meta target can be directly described as a molecular entity (e.g. a purified protein or a protein complex), or indirectly by a biological process or event (e.g. phosphorylation). Format describes the biological or chemical features common to each test condition in the assay and includes biochemical, cell-based, organism-based, and variations thereof. The assay Design describes the assay methodology and implementation of how the perturbation of the biological system is translated into a detectable signal. Detection Technology relates to the physical method and technical details to detect and record a signal. Endpoints are the final HTS results as they are usually published (such as IC50, percent inhibition, etc). BAO has been designed to accommodate multiplexed assays. All main BAO components include multiple levels of sub-categories and specification classes, which are linked via object property relationships forming an expressive knowledge-based representation.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 14,2026. A high-resolution ontology has been developed by members of the GUDMAP consortium to describe the subcompartments of the developing murine genitourinary tract. This ontology incorporates what can be defined histologically and begins to encompass other structures and cell types already identified at the molecular level. The GUDMAP ontology encompasses Theiler stage (TS) 17-27 of development as well as the sexually mature adult. It has been written as a partonomic, text-based, hierarchical ontology that, for the embryological stages, has been developed as a high-resolution expansion of the existing Edinburgh Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP) ontology. It also includes group terms for well-characterized structural and/or functional units comprising several sub-structures, such as the nephron and juxtaglomerular complex. Each term has been assigned a unique identification number. Synonyms have been used to improve the success of query searching and maintain wherever possible existing EMAP terms relating to this organ system.

A standardized file format for multidimensional microscopy image data. OME-TIFF maximizes the respective strengths of OME-XML and TIFF. It takes advantage of the rich metadata defined in OME-XML while retaining the pixel structure in multi-page TIF format for compatibility with many image-processing applications. An OME-TIFF dataset has the following characteristics: * Image planes are stored within one multi-page TIFF file, or across multiple TIFF files. Any image organization is feasible. * A complete OME-XML metadata block describing the dataset is embedded in each TIFF file's header. Thus, even if some of the TIFF files in a dataset are misplaced, the metadata remains intact. * The OME-XML metadata block may contain anything allowed in a standard OME-XML file. * OME-TIFF uses the standard TIFF mechanism for storing one or more image planes in each of the constituent files, instead of encoding pixels as base64 chunks within the XML. Since TIFF is an image format, it makes sense to only use OME-TIFF as opposed to OME-XML, when there is at least one image plane.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 14,2026. A web-based, multi-dimensional image data-viewing application for original microscopy image datasets associated with articles published in The Journal of Cell Biology, a peer-reviewed journal published by The Rockefeller University Press. The JCB DataViewer can host multidimensional fluorescence microscopy images, 3D tomogram data, very large (gigapixel) images, and high content imaging screens. Images are presented in an interactive viewer, and the scores from high content screens are presented in interactive graphs with data points linked to the relevant images. The JCB DataViewer uses the Bio-Formats library to read over 120 different imaging file formats and convert them to the OME-TIFF image data standard. Image data are archived by the Journal and may be freely accessed by readers using the JCB DataViewer. Download of author-provided image data and associated metadata in OME-TIFF format is also possible with author permission, allowing for independent analysis of image data irrespective of acquisition or viewing software. Although the JCB DataViewer is designed to host and facilitate sharing and analysis of original microscopy image data, authors may also upload other types of original image data as supplements to their manuscripts, including histology and electron micrographs and digital scans of gels or blots.

Data set containing a gene-specific connectome file for each human gene and computer programs for ranking lists of genes within a gene-specific connectome, clustering and plotting the genes by the functional genomic alignment (FGA) approach, and generating gene-specific connectomes. The programs were developed and tested on Mac and Linux systems. The external software required for running these programs is open-source and free of charge. The HGC is the set of all biologically plausible routes, distances, and degrees of separation between all pairs of human genes. A gene-specific connectome contains the set of all available human genes sorted on the basis of their predicted biological proximity to the specific gene of interest. The HGC is a powerful approach for human genotype-phenotype high-throughput studies, for which it can be used to rank any list of genes within a gene-specific connectome for an experimentally validated core gene. Functional genomic alignment (FGA) is equivalent to traditional multiple sequence alignment (MSA), except that it clusters genes in trees on the basis of the functional biological distance between them predicted by HGC, rather than on the basis of molecular evolutionary genetic distance. This method is therefore more suitable for disease and phenotypic studies.
