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.Software to detect rare or de novo copy number alterations in normal DNA samples. Please note that QuantiSNP is no longer under active development.

GenomeRNAi is a database of phenotypes from systematic RNA interference (RNAi) screens in cultured Drosophila cells. The phenotype database can be searched by keywords, RNAi identifiers or Drosophila gene sequences. Searches with homologous sequences from human or C. elegans are also possible. Integrated tools evaluate the specificity of long double-stranded RNAs (RNAi probes) by similarity searches against all predicted Drosophila transcripts. This site can also be used to identify pre-designed RNAi probes from available Drosophila RNAi libraries. Caenorhabditis elegans genome, human genome

Collects novel cell lines, developed by Australian researchers, submits these cell lines to rigorous testing to confirm their integrity, and then distributes the cell lines to researchers throughout the world. Distributes, throughout Australia and New Zealand, cell lines from the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) at Public Health England, a major international cell line repository based in the UK and from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources (JCRB), both collections also include many ATCC cell lines.

A frameshift correction and nearest neighbor classification tool for use with high-throughput amplicon sequencing. It uses a dynamic programming algorithm to align each query DNA sequence against a set of target protein sequences, produces frameshift-corrected protein and DNA sequences and an optimal global or local protein alignment. It also helps filter out non-target reads. The online version of FrameBot is available on http://fungene.cme.msu.edu/FunGenePipeline.

The Homeodomain Resource is a curated collection of sequence, structure, interaction, genomic, and functional information on the homeodomain family. A description of each of the major sections of the database can be found below, and users can navigate through the site using the links found in the menu that appears on the left-hand side of every page within the site. The website provides lists of Homeodomain proteins, solved three-dimensional structures of homeodomain proteins and protein-DNA complexes, lists of protein-protein interactions involving homeodomain proteins, DNA binding sites, and human genetic and genomic disorders linked to homeodomain proteins. Preexisting Description: homeodomain, protein, protein-DNA complex,

The Chordoma Foundation is an international nonprofit organization working to improve the lives of chordoma patients by accelerating the development of effective treatments, and by helping patients to get the best care possible. Guided by a comprehensive research roadmap, the Foundation initiates and funds research, facilitates information exchange and collaboration among researchers, and provides scientific resources needed for research. Chordoma is a relentless and difficult to treat bone cancer that occurs in the head and spine in people of all ages. No drugs are approved to treat chordoma and the average survival after diagnosis is 7 years; a statistic we are determined to improve. Our Approach: * Fund results-oriented research: We proactively fund research projects identified by our Scientific Advisory Board as strategic priorities for advancing the development of new treatments for chordoma. * Provide scientific resources: We create, collect, store, and distribute the information and biological materials that researchers need in order to study chordoma and develop new treatments. * Facilitate communication and collaboration: We connect physicians, scientists and companies from across the world to share information and collaborate on projects they can only achieve together. * Guide patients to obtain quality care: We provide accurate information about treatment options and clinical trials, refer patients to experienced doctors, and match patients with trained peer-support mentors.

MIT-BIH Polysomnographic Database is a collection of recordings of multiple physiologic signals during sleep. Subjects were monitored in Boston''s Beth Israel Hospital Sleep Laboratory for evaluation of chronic obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and to test the effects of constant positive airway pressure (CPAP), a standard therapeutic intervention that usually prevents or substantially reduces airway obstruction in these subjects. The database contains over 80 hours'' worth of four-, six-, and seven-channel polysomnographic recordings, each with an ECG signal annotated beat-by-beat, and EEG and respiration signals annotated with respect to sleep stages and apnea

JSNP is a database of Japanese Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. It includes BLAST capability, keyword search, mapping information, and other tools that allow users to gather information on SNP's. SNPs are the most common form of DNA sequence variation. They are useful polymorphic markers to investigate genes susceptible to diseases or those related to drug responsiveness. Furthermore, a small subset of SNPs directly influences to the quality and/or quantity of the gene product, and increase a risk to certain diseases and to severe side effect by drugs. Through a discovery of a large number of SNPs, we would like to contribute to identification of disease-related genes and also to establish a diagnostic method to avoid drug side-effect.
