A database of brain neuroanatomic volumetric observations spanning various species, diagnoses, and structures for both individual and group results. A major thrust effort is to enable electronic access to the results that exist in the published literature. Currently, there is quite limited electronic or searchable methods for the data observations that are contained in publications. This effort will facilitate the dissemination of volumetric observations by making a more complete corpus of volumetric observations findable to the neuroscience researcher. This also enhances the ability to perform comparative and integrative studies, as well as metaanalysis. Extensions that permit pre-published, non-published and other representation are planned, again to facilitate comparative analyses. Design strategy: The principle organizing data structure is the "publication". Publications report on "groups" of subjects. These groups have "demographic" information as well as "volume" information for the group as a whole. Groups are comprised of "individuals", which also have demographic and volume information for each of the individuals. The finest-grained data structure is the "individual volume record" which contains a volume observation, the units for the observation, and a pointer to the demographic record for individual upon which the observation is derived. A collection of individual volumes can be grouped into a "group volume" observation; the group can be demographically characterized by the distribution of individual demographic observations for the members of the group.

Software program that implemented a likelihood-based framework for calling single nucleotide variants and detecting de novo point mutation events in families for next-generation sequencing data. The program takes as input genotype likelihood format (GLF) files which can be generated following the Creation of GLF files instruction and outputs the result in the (VCF) format. The variant calling and de novo mutation detection are modelled jointly within families and can handle both nuclear and extended pedigrees without consanguinity loops. The input is a set of GLF files for each of family members and the relationships are specified through the .ped file. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

Database of known and predicted functional associations between protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) within proteins. In its first release it contains 13 different PTM types. PTM types are abbreviated in a two letter code as: Ph (phosphorylation), NG (N-linked glycosylation), Ac (acetylation), OG (O-linked glycosylation), Ub (ubiquitination), Me (methylation), SM (SUMOylation), Hy (hydroxylation), Ca (carboxylation), Pa (palmitoylation), Su (sulfation), Ni (nitrosylation) and CG (C-linked glycosylation). These PTMs are present in 25,765 proteins of 8 different eukaryotes. The database is focused on the exploration of the global post-translational regulation of proteins, not only by describing the set of its modifications, but by identifying the functional associations among the PTMs present in the protein. To do that, they combine five different evidence channels based on a literature survey, the modified residue co-evolution, their structural proximity, their competition for the same residue and the location within PTM highly-enriched protein regions (hotspots) and show the functional associations within the context of the protein architecture.

Database of microarray analysis of twelve major classes of fluorescent labeled neurons within the adult mouse forebrain that provide the first comprehensive view of gene expression differences. The publicly available datasets demonstrate a profound molecular heterogeneity among neuronal subtypes, represented disproportionately by gene paralogs, and begin to reveal the genetic programs underlying the fundamental divisions between neuronal classes including that between glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. Five of the 12 populations were chosen from cingulate cortex and included several subtypes of GABAergic interneurons and pyramidal neurons. The remaining seven were derived from the somatosensory cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and thalamus. Using these expression profiles, they were able to construct a taxonomic tree that reflected the expected major relationships between these populations, such as the distinction between cortical interneurons and projection neurons. The taxonomic tree indicated highly heterogeneous gene expression even within a single region. This dataset should be useful for the classification of unknown neuronal subtypes, the investigation of specifically expressed genes and the genetic manipulation of specific neuronal circuit elements. Datasets: * Full: Here you can query gene expression results for the neuronal populations * Strain: Here you can query the same expression results accessed under the full checkbox, with one additional population (CT6-CG2) included as a control for the effects of mouse strain. This population is identical to CT6-CG (YFPH) except the neurons were derived from wild-type mice of three distinct strains: G42, G30, and GIN. * Arlotta: Here you can query the same expression results accessed under the full checkbox, with nine additional populations from the dataset of Arlotta et al., 2005. These populations were purified by FACS after retrograde labeling with fluorescent microspheres. Populations are designated by the prefix ACS for corticospinal neurons, ACC for corticocallosal neurons and ACT for corticotectal neurons, followed by the suffix E18 for gestational age 18 embryos, or P3, P6 and P14 for postnatal day 3, 6 and 14 pups. For each successful gene query the following information is returned: # Signal level line plot: Signal level is plotted on Y-axis (log base 2) for each sample. Samples include the thirty six representing the twelve populations profiled in Sugino et al. In addition, six samples from homogenized (=dissociated and but not sorted) cortex are included representing two different strains: G42-HO is homogenate from strain G42, GIN-HO is homogenate from stain GIN. # Signal level raster plots: Signal level is represented by color (dark red is low, bright red is high) for all samples. Color scale is set to match minimum (dark red) and maximum (bright yellow) signal levels within the displayed set of probe sets. # Scaled signal level raster plots: Same as 2) except color scale is adjusted separately for each gene according to its maximum and minimum signal level. # Table: Basic information about the returned probe sets: * Affymetrix affyid of probe set * NCBI gene symbol, NCBI gene name * NCBI geneID * P-value score from ANOVA for each gene is also given if available (_anv column). P-value represents the probability that there is no difference in the expression across cell types.
