Prion diseases reflect conformational conversion of benign isoforms of prion protein (PrP(C)) to malignant PrP(Sc) isoforms. Networks perturbed by PrP(Sc) accumulation and their ties to pathological events are poorly understood. Time-course transcriptomic and phenotypic data in animal models are critical for understanding prion-perturbed networks in systems biology studies. Here, we present the Prion Disease Database (PDDB), the most comprehensive data resource on mouse prion diseases to date. The PDDB contains: (i) time-course mRNA measurements spanning the interval from prion inoculation through appearance of clinical signs in eight mouse strain-prion strain combinations and (ii) histoblots showing temporal PrP(Sc) accumulation patterns in brains from each mouse-prion combination. To facilitate prion research, the PDDB also provides a suite of analytical tools for reconstructing dynamic networks via integration of temporal mRNA and interaction data and for analyzing these networks to generate hypotheses.Database URL:http://prion.systemsbiology.net.

PDGene - A database for Parkinsons disease genetic association studies (tool)

RRID:SCR_006666

The PDGene database aims to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and regularly updated collection of genetic association studies performed on Parkinson's disease (PD) phenotypes. Eligible publications are identified following systematic searches of scientific literature databases, as well as the table of contents of journals in genetics, neurology, and psychiatry. The database can be searched either by a variety of dropdown menus or by specific keywords. For each gene, summary overviews are provided displaying key characteristics for each publication, including links to genotype distributions of the polymorphisms studied, random-effects allelic meta-analyses, and funnel plots for an assessment of publication bias. The PDGene database, developed by Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, The Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Alzheimer Research Forum, is supported by a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation in partnership with the Alzheimer Research Forum.

T1DBase (tool)

RRID:SCR_007959

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 26,2019. In October 2016, T1DBase has merged with its sister site ImmunoBase (https://immunobase.org). Documented on March 2020, ImmunoBase ownership has been transferred to Open Targets (https://www.opentargets.org). Results for all studies can be explored using Open Targets Genetics (https://genetics.opentargets.org). Database focused on genetics and genomics of type 1 diabetes susceptibility providing a curated and integrated set of datasets and tools, across multiple species, to support and promote research in this area. The current data scope includes annotated genomic sequences for suspected T1D susceptibility regions; genetic data; microarray data; and global datasets, generally from the literature, that are useful for genetics and systems biology studies. The site also includes software tools for analyzing the data.
