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. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the University of New Mexico. Keywords: Gastropod, Biomphalaria glabrata, Genomic, Data, Nucleotide, Genome,

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

An automatic pipeline based on an algorithm that identifies new resources in publications every month to assist the efficiency of NIF curators. The pipeline is also able to find the last time the resource's webpage was updated and whether the URL is still valid. This can assist the curator in knowing which resources need attention. Additionally, the pipeline identifies publications that reference existing NIF Registry resources as this is also of interest. These mentions are available through the Data Federation version of the NIF Registry, http://neuinfo.org/nif/nifgwt.html?query=nlx_144509 The RDF is based on an algorithm on how related it is to neuroscience. (hits of neuroscience related terms). Each potential resource gets assigned a score (based on how related it is to neuroscience) and the resources are then ranked and a list is generated.
