A consortium of representatives from each of the NIH institutes and centers. BISTI was established in May 2000 to serve as the focus of biomedical computing issues at the NIH. The mission of BISTI is to make optimal use of computer science and technology to address problems in biology and medicine by fostering new basic understandings, collaborations, and transdisciplinary initiatives between the computational and biomedical sciences. In support of this mission, the BISTI coordinates research grants, training opportunities, and scientific symposia associated with biomedical computing. Regular monthly meetings are conducted to discuss program status, future needs and directions, and topics of interest to the bioinformatics community.

A multilingual application ontology aimed at the early detection of public health events in the media. It aims to describe the terms and relations necessary to detect and risk assess public health events in the grey literature at an early stage; and bridge the gap between the (multilingual) grey literature and existing standards in biomedicine. The BCO focuses on the usage of terms and relations within informal unstructured reports which are often made at a pre-diagnostic stage of a disease outbreak by non-medically trained reporters. This is done to provide monitoring and early warning about public health hazards from online media reports.

Consortium serving to develop and qualify promising biomarkers in order to help accelerate the delivery of successful new technologies, medicines and therapies for prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Current core disease areas of focus include Cancer, Inflammation and Immunity, Metabolic Disorders, and Neuroscience. One of the most difficult tasks facing biomarker assessment and evaluation is harmonizing the approaches of various stakeholders--government, industry, non-profits and foundations, providers, and academic institutions. Consortium founding members and other partners recognize the critical need for a coordinated cross-sector partnership effort. The Biomarkers Consortium brings together the expertise and resources of various partners to rapidly identify, develop, and qualify potential high-impact biomarkers. Biomarkers Consortium Goals: * Facilitate the development and qualification of biomarkers using new and existing technologies; * Help qualify biomarkers for specific applications in diagnosing disease, predicting therapeutic response or improving clinical practice; * Generate information useful to inform regulatory decision making; * Make consortium project results broadly available to the entire scientific community.

A not for profit organization to accelerate research into aging by sharing resources: providing access to cost and time effective, aged murine tissue through a biorepository and database of live ageing colonies, as well as promoting the networking of researchers and dissemination of knowledge through its online collaborative environment; MiCEPACE. ShARM will provide valuable resources for the scientific community while helping to reduce the number of animals used in vital research into aging. The biobank of tissue and networking facility will enable scientists to access shared research material and data. By making use of collective resources, the number of individual animals required in research experiments can be minimized. The project also has the added value of helping to reduce the costs of research by connecting scientists, pooling resource and combining knowledge. ShARM works in partnership with MRC Harwell and the Centre for Intergrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA).

A service for permanent archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical research projects. The JGA contains exclusive data collected from individuals whose consent agreements authorize data release only for specific research use or to bona fide researchers. Strict protocols govern how information is managed, stored and distributed by the JGA. Once processed, all data are encrypted. The JGA accepts only de-identified data approved by JST-NBDC. The JGA implements access-granting policy whereby the decisions of who will be granted access to the data resides with the JST-NBDC. After data submission the JGA team will process the data into databases and archive the original data files. The accepted data types include manufacturer-specific raw data formats from the array-based and new sequencing platforms. The processed data such as the genotype and structural variants or any summary level statistical analyses from the original study authors are stored in databases. The JGA also accepts and distributes any phenotype data associated with the samples. For other human biological data, please contact the NBDC human data ethical committee.

Services for the long-term preservation and curation of America's digital data - data of any type or size, with minimal requirements on the data provider. It has the capacity to preserve hundreds of terabytes of digital data and comprises several partner organizations that provide a wide range of services. The project leverages high-speed networks, mass-scale storage capabilities, and the expertise of the partners in order to provide a geographically distributed, heterogeneous, and highly redundant archive system. Features of the project include: * Three geographically distributed copies of the data * Curatorial audit reporting * Development of best practices for data packaging and sharing Chronopolis is available to anyone who wants to have their data preserved. Storage is based on a yearly, per-terabyte charge. The smallest unit available is one terabyte; collections smaller than this will be charged the one terabyte rate.

Community portal for researchers and content management system for data and databases. Intended to provide common source of data to research community and data about Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), which can be used in scientific publications. Central service where RRIDs can be searched and created. Designed to help communities of researchers create their own portals to provide access to resources, databases and tools of relevance to their research areas. Adds value to existing scientific resources by increasing their discoverability, accessibility, visibility, utility and interoperability, regardless of their current design or capabilities and without need for extensive redesign of their components or information models. Resources can be searched and discovered at multiple levels of integration, from superficial discovery based on limited description of resource at SciCrunch Registry, to deep content query at SciCrunch Data Federation.

An MRI data repository that holds a set of 7 Tesla images and behavioral metadata. Multi-faceted brain image archive with behavioral measurements. For each participant a number of different scans and auxiliary recordings have been obtained. In addition, several types of minimally preprocessed data are also provided. The full description of the data release is available in a dedicated publication. This project invites anyone to participate in a decentralized effort to explore the opportunities of open science in neuroimaging by documenting how much (scientific) value can be generated out of a single data release by publication of scientific findings derived from a dataset, algorithms and methods evaluated on this dataset, and/or extensions of this dataset by acquisition and integration of new data.

Database that provides a resource to store DNA methylation data and to make these data readily available to the public. Future development of the database will focus on environmental effects on DNA methylation. No restriction applies on the type of data, i.e. as well as global estimations (e.g. HPLC) as data from high resolution analysis (i.e. sequencing) can be stored. As much background information as possible should be provided by the users. This includes the origin of the sample, phenotype, expression of the related gene, etc..

EUCOMM contributes the largest fraction of conditionally trapped and targeted genes in mouse C57BL/6N embryonic stem (ES) cells to the IKMC. EUCOMM vectors, mutant ES cells and mutant mice are distributed worldwide, enabling functional genomics research in a standardized and cost-effective manner by a much wider biomedical research community than has been possible previously. EUCOMM mutant ES cells and vectors can be obtained from the European Mouse Mutant Cell Repository (EuMMCR). EUCOMM mutant mice are archived and distributed by the European Mouse Mutant Archive (EMMA). Mutagenesis Strategies * Conditional gene trapping - random approach for expressed genes * Conditional targeted trapping - directed approach, used for expressed genes * Conditional gene targeting - directed approach, used for non-expressed genes
