About FamilySearch FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world. Millions of people use FamilySearch records, resources, and services to learn more about their family history. For over 100 years, FamilySearch has been actively gathering, preserving, and sharing genealogical records worldwide. Patrons may freely access our resources and service online at FamilySearch.org, or through over 4,500 family history centers in 70 countries, including the renowned Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Family Connection Families are meant to be central to our livesFamilySearch is a service provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our commitment to helping people connect with their ancestors is rooted in our beliefs. We believe that families are meant to be central to our lives and that family relationships are intended to continue beyond this life. We therefore believe that all family membersthose living, those past, and those futureshare an enduring bond that reaches across the generations. All Are Welcome We encourage all people to seek out their ancestors and preserve their family histories. Because interest in family history is not limited by culture, ethnicity, or religious faith, we welcome all who wish to discover more about their family and their heritage.

Map of identifyied genes controlling traits of economic and welfare significance in the pig. The project objectives were to produce a genetic map with markers spaced at approximately 20 centiMorgan intervals over at least 90% of the pig genome; to produce a physical map with at least one distal and one proximal landmark locus mapped on each porcine chromosome arm and also genetically mapped; to develop a flow karyotype for the pig based on FACS sorted chromosomes; to develop PCR based techniques to enable rapid genotyping for polymorphic markers; to evaluate synteny conservation between pigs, man, mice and cattle; to develop and evaluate the statistical techniques required to analyze data from QTL mapping experiments and to plan and initiate the mapping of QTLs in the pig; to map loci affecting traits of economic and biological significance in the pig; and to develop the molecular tools to allow the future identification and cloning of mapped loci. Animal breeders currently assume that economically important traits such as growth, carcass composition and reproductive performance are controlled by an infinite number of genes each of infinitessimal effect. Although this model is known to be unrealistic, it has successfully underpinned the genetic improvement of livestock, including pigs, over recent decades. A map of the pig genome would allow the development of more realistic models of the genetic control of economic traits and the ultimately the identification of the major trait genes. This would allow the development of more efficient marker assisted selection which may be of particular value for traits such as disease resistance and meat quality.

The web site includes genomic data for humans and mice, including transcript sequence, gene expression patterns, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, clone resources, and cytogenetic information. Descriptions of the methods and reagents used in deriving the CGAP datasets are also provided. An extensive suite of informatics tools facilitates queries and analysis of the CGAP data by the community. One of the newest features of the CGAP web site is an electronic version of the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer. The data in the Mitelman Database is manually culled from the literature and subsequently organized into three distinct sub-databases, as follows: -The sub-database of cases contains the data that relates chromosomal aberrations to specific tumor characteristics in individual patient cases. It can be searched using either the Cases Quick Searcher or the Cases Full Searcher. -The sub-database of molecular biology and clinical associations contains no data from individual patient cases. Instead, the data is pulled from studies with distinct information about: -Molecular biology associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and tumor histologies to genomic sequence data, typically genes rearranged as a consequence of structural chromosome changes. -Clinical associations that relate chromosomal aberrations and/or gene rearrangements and tumor histologies to clinical variables, such as prognosis, tumor grade, and patient characteristics. It can be searched using the Molecular Biology and Clinical (MBC) Associations Searcher -The reference sub-database contains all the references culled from the literature i.e., the sum of the references from the cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. It can be searched using the Reference Searcher. CGAP has developed six web search tools to help you analyze the information within the Mitelman Database: -The Cases Quick Searcher allows you to query the individual patient cases using the four major fields: aberration, breakpoint, morphology, and topography. -The Cases Full Searcher permits a more detailed search of the same individual patient cases as above, by including more cytogenetic field choices and adding search fields for patient characteristics and references. -The Molecular Biology Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to gene rearrangements as a consequence of cytogenetic aberrations. -The Clinical Associations Searcher does not search any of the individual patient cases. It searches studies pertaining to clinical associations of cytogenetic aberrations and/or gene rearrangements. -The Recurrent Chromosome Aberrations Searcher provides a way to search for structural and numerical abnormalities that are recurrent, i.e., present in two or more cases with the same morphology and topography. -The Reference Searcher queries only the references themselves, i.e., the references from the individual cases and the molecular biology and clinical associations. Sponsors: This database is sponsored by the University of Lund, Sweden and have support from the Swedish Cancer Society and the Swedish Children''s Cancer Foundation

An international consortium has successfully pursued the development of an internationally supported a molluscan genome project, one that is focused mainly on the freshwater gastropod Biomphalaria glabrata. This site provides information on design, management and progress of this initiative. Currently, the consortium encourages investigators to pursue external funding available at the national level, towards hypothesis-driven research projects that include a gene discovery component. Individual research groups may combine efforts in national and international settings to apply for large scale resources such as funding for exchange of information and investigators, production of BAC libraries, and sequencing capacity. The sequences generated as part of the consortium effort will be released to public databases in a timely fashion Data: - NCBI databases : 55767 nucleotide (54309 ESTs)/1 genome/650 protein entries. - Genome Project 12879: 265,481 records (WGS/EST/454/BES) in the trace archives. - Short Read Archive (SRA): 454 data projects: 23Gbases gDNA.

Flash GViewer is a customizable Flash movie that can be easily inserted into a web page to display each chromosome in a genome along with the locations of individual features on the chromosomes. It is intended to provide an overview of the genomic locations of a specific set of features - eg. genes and QTLs associated with a specific phenotype, etc. rather than as a way to view all features on the genome. The features can hyperlink out to a detail page to enable to GViewer to be used as a navigation tool. In addition the bands on the chromosomes can link to defineable URL and new region selection sliders can be used to select a specific chromosome region and then link out to a genome browser for higher resolution information. Genome maps for Rat, Mouse, Human and C. elegans are provided but other genome maps can be easily created. Annotation data can be provided as static text files or produced as XML via server scripts. This tool is not GO-specific, but was built for the purpose of viewing GO annotation data. Platform: Online tool
