Project to addresses challenges associated with the preservation of scientific experiments in data-intensive science, including: * The definition of models to describe, in a standard way, scientific experiments by means of workflow-centric Research Objects, which comprise scientific workflows, the provenance of their executions, interconnections between workflows and related resources (e.g., datasets, publications, etc.), and social aspects related to such scientific experiments. * The collection of best practices for the creation and management of Research Objects. * The analysis and management of decay in scientific workflows. To address these challenges they are creating an architecture and tooling for the access, manipulation, sharing, reuse and evolution of Research Objects in a range of disciplines. This will result into the next generation RO-enabled myExperiment.

Database of high-quality craniofacial anthropometric normative data for the research and clinical community based on digital stereophotogrammetry. Unlike traditional craniofacial normative datasets that are limited to measures obtained with handheld calipers and tape measurers, the anthropometric data provided here are based on digital stereophotogrammetry, a method of 3D surface imaging ideally suited for capturing human facial surface morphology. Also unlike more traditional normative craniofacial resources, the 3D Facial Norms Database allows users to interact with data via an intuitive graphical interface and - given proper credentials - gain access to individual-level data, allowing users to perform their own analyses.

Our core is affiliated with the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine (ULAM) at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. We provide animal pathology services in support of non-GLP preclinical, translational, or basic science studies. Services include histology preparation, immunohistochemistry, animal hematology and serum chemistry assays, digital slide scanning/image analysis, and pathology interpretation by board-certified veterinary pathologists. Our core mission is to reduce bias and increase rigor within non-GLP animal research by providing high quality, documented, pathology support that may not be otherwise accessible within individual laboratories. Our laboratory maintains internal SOPs, documented quality control practices, and accountability/chain-of-custody records for all submissions. Additionally, we participate in an external quality control program through the Veterinary Laboratory Association.

Mouse models for the study of human and animal disease for Australian and international researchers. It has reduced the cost to researchers of accessing mouse models of disease, and provides equipment and expertise to undertake characterization and further research of these models. The APN brought together mouse production, strain storage and pathology capabilities, later extending the core services of the network, and include new services (RNAi and genomics services). Twelve Australian facilities and institutions currently constitute the APN. The APN partners contribute their expertise and infrastructure for the production of mouse models, as well as providing cryopreservation and pathology services. * Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research * Monash University * Queensland Institute of Medical Research * Animal Resources Centre * Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science * University of Melbourne * Institute of Molecular Bioscience * Menzies Research Institute * Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre * Australian National University * Western Australian Institute of Medical Research * Centenary Institute In addition, the APN is working with the Atlas of Living Australia to develop a framework for Australia''''s e-science infrastructure to improve the capture, annotation and dissemination of research data. The APN''''s core expertise and infrastructure is also extended by key national and international partnerships. These include the Garvan Institute, the National Institutes of Health (United States), the Wellcome Trust (United Kingdom), and the University of Manitoba (Canada). Services * ES Cell to Mouse: Create a mouse model from embryonic stem cells * RNAi: Screen full genomes to identify novel gene targets * ENU Mutagenesis - Produce chemically-induced mouse models * Pathology - Investigate mouse models using clinical and histopathology * Genomics - Further mouse mutant identification via new discovery pipeline * NHMRC Australian PhenomeBank - a non-profit repository of mouse strains used in Medical Research.

A clustering and visualization tool that enables the interactive exploration of genome-wide data, with a specialization in epigenomics data. Spark is also available as a service within the Epigenome toolset of the Genboree Workbench. The approach utilizes data clusters as a high-level visual guide and supports interactive inspection of individual regions within each cluster. The cluster view links to gene ontology analysis tools and the detailed region view connects to existing genome browser displays taking advantage of their wealth of annotation and functionality.

An ontology for the description of biological and clinical investigations built with international, collaborative effort. The ontology represents the design of an investigation, the protocols and instrumentation used, the material used, the data generated and the type analysis performed on it. This includes a set of universal terms that are applicable across various biological and technological domains, and domain-specific terms relevant only to a given domain. Currently OBI is being built under the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). This project was formerly titled the Functional Genomics Investigation Ontology (FuGO) project.
