The reports is based on RRID and text mining of open access articles from PubMed Central. To help you find all resource mentions, you can also click “Google Scholar” in this section.
Cell lines: Find urology related cell lines
- Do you know what is the most used cell line with issues?
  - You can use Resource Reports - Cell lines to find the answer: Refine your search by selecting “issue found” and “problematic” under the “Issues” facet, and “yes” under the “Mention” facet. See results
Antibodies: Find antibodies with your target antigen, for example, IL-1α
- Do you know how to find antibodies with available validation information?
  - You can select “information available” under the Validation facet. To see the validation information, click the resource name and it will bring you to the Resource Reports. In the Resource Reports, check the “Comments” under “Antibody Information”, and scroll down to the Rating and Alerts section, you can find more information there! Check this example: anti-CD44 polyclonal antibody
Organisms: Find model organisms with your affected gene, for example, Abi1
- Do you know that you can find the information of the repositories about model organisms, for example, zebrafish models?
  - At Resource Reports - Organisms, under “Species” facet, select “danio rerio”, and click search. Now check out the “Database” facet, you will find the source information there. You can click URL under “Organism Information”, this will give you more detailed information. For example, by clicking the URL of this report, it will bring you to ZIRC resource page and you can request it there.
Plasmids: Find plasmids with your insert gene, for example, Abi1

Discovery Portal

dkNET can help you search for data and resources across 100s databases Tutorial

All resources: Discover urology related resources and data through +100 Biomedical databases
- Do you know that you can refine your search by selecting categories and subcategories?
  - For example, if you are interested in expression data of urology related resources and data results, you can select “Data or Model”, and then select “Expression”, a list of databases and data information will be shown in the Results. You can then click the database, such as ArrayExpress, it will bring you to the ArrayExpress view table. You can then discover more information there! By clicking the accession number, it will bring you to the original data at ArrayExpress (example page).
Funding information: Search for urology related funding opportunities or information about funded grant
- Do you know how to find NIDDK-funded grant information using Discovery Portal?
  - Scroll down to the Results, and then click RePORTER, you will then go to RePORTER view page. You can use the facet “Funding Institute Abbreviation” and select NIDDK to refine your search or you can use the word cloud icon next to the title of Funding Institute Abbreviation in the table to refine your search.

Authentication Reports

dkNET can help you to prepare authentication plans for key biological resources Tutorial

NIH Policy on Rigor and Reproducibility: Learn about NIH's mandates on resource identification and authentication
Create an authentication report
- Tips:
  - You can create the authentication plans for your key biological resources manually. Check out the information by clicking “Cell Line Authentication Plan Information” or “Antibody Authentication Plan Information”
  - By creating an authentication report using dkNET’s tool, you can save the information under your account. It would be easier to manage your resources, and you can also add more resources later. If there are issues found later, you can see the updated information.
