Database of mitochondrial and human nuclear encoded proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function. This database consolidates information from SwissProt, LocusLink, Protein Data Bank (PDB), GenBank, Genome Database (GDB), Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Human Mitochondrial Genome Database (mtDB), MITOMAP, Neuromuscular Disease Center and Human 2-D PAGE Databases. The mitochondrion plays a central role in cellular metabolism, and evidence of mitochondrial involvement in a number of different human diseases is increasing. This database is intended as a tool not only to aid in studying the mitochondrion but in studying the associated diseases. Mitochondrial DNA Sequence: A graphical tool was developed to visualize the human mitochondrial DNA sequences that highlight coding regions for RNAs and proteins. Disease susceptible mutations are also noted in the sequence. Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism: Human mitochondrial sequences of different ethnic groups were obtained from the Human Mitochondrial Genome Database. A DNA sequence analysis tool was developed to compare polymorphisms of different human mitochondrial DNA sequences. This tool allows the user to select mitochondrial sequences from any two human populations and compare them for sequences variations. Mitochondrial proteins related diseases: Malfunction of mitochondrial proteins affect many cells from brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and the endocrine and the respiratory systems which lead to many diseases. Relevant information for mitochondrial related diseases from OMIM, the Neuromuscular Disease Center and MITOMAP are gathered, and mitochondrion-associated diseases are grouped, categorized, and linked to OMIM. 3-D Structures of Mitochondrial proteins: The available 3D structures for mitochondrial proteins are presented through a custom-made interface. A concise HTML page is generated for reporting the structural details and the associated information obtained from relevant web sites (PDBREPORT, Interatomic Contacts of Structural Units (CSU), PROCHECK, Ligand Protein Contacts (LPC), PROMOTIF and CastP). References are linked to the PubMed site. The 3-D structures are presented through the use of a Kinemage.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Program developing a self-sustaining colony of baboons free of all known herpesviruses, four retroviruses, and SV40 for research. When the program is fully developed, they will provide healthy, behaviorally normal, SPF baboons that are free of all known herpes viruses, four retroviruses, and SV40. To accomplish this goal, the center has established in collaboration with co-investigators and consultants serological and PCR tests for each of the 11 target viruses. These baboon viruses include six herpesviruses (analogs of human HSV, VZV, CMV, HHV6, EBV, and HHV8), four retroviruses (simian foamy virus, SRV/D, SIV, and STLV), and SV40. Twenty-four infant baboons are being recruited into the SPF program in each of the first five years, for a final total of at least 66 SPF baboons. All infants will be repeatedly tested for each of the target viruses. At one month of age, larger social groups of 4-6 SPF animals are formed. Beginning at 2-3 years of age, SPF animals will be integrated into larger socially compatible groups. These groups will eventually mature into breeding harems of SPF animals. This approach provides infants with age-matched companions for socialization during their early period of development, minimizes opportunities for transmission of viruses to the infants from adult animals, and allows for the simultaneous elimination of many different viruses from SPF animals.

The mission of the SRF is to help in the search for causes, treatments, and understanding of the devastating disease of schizophrenia. Our goal is to foster collaboration among researchers by providing an international online forum where ideas, research news, and data can be presented and discussed. The website is intended to bring together scientists working specifically on schizophrenia, scientists researching related diseases, and basic scientists whose work can shed light on these diseases. In this way, we hope that the Schizophrenia Research Forum will be a catalyst for creative thinking in the quest to understand a deeply complex disease. It is our goal to create and maintain up-to-date content of the highest quality. The website is free of charge to users, independent of industry sponsorship, and open to the public. Though geared toward researchers, we welcome other visitorspeople with mental illnesses, families, the media, and others who need accurate information on research into schizophrenia. We do, however, require that users who wish to post comments and other materials be registered members. All such materials are subject to approval by the editorial team.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.Service to design PCR primers from protein multiple sequence alignments. NOTICE: This version of CODEHOP is no longer maintained.

ORNIS is a database of bird specimens as well as a portal to connect the academic and museum communities involved with studying birds. This project expands on existing infrastructure developed for distributed mammal (MaNIS), amphibian and reptile (HerpNet), and fish (FishNet) databases. Over 5 million bird specimens are housed in North American collections, documenting the composition, distribution, ecology, and systematics of the world's estimated 10,000-16,000 bird species. Millions of additional observational records are held in diverse data sets. ORNIS addresses the urgent call for increased access to these data in an open and collaborative manner, and involves development of a suite of online software tools for data analysis and error-checking. This project expands on existing infrastructure developed for distributed mammal (MaNIS), amphibian and reptile (HerpNet), and fish (FishNet) databases. Improved access to avian data sets will allow predictive uses to reveal patterns and processes of evolutionary and ecological phenomena that have not been apparent heretofore. Along with similar infrastructures for other vertebrate groups, it also will enable detailed and synthetic knowledge of the earth's biodiversity for tracking climate change, emerging diseases (e.g., West Nile Virus), and other conservation challenges for species in the 21st century.
