Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on July 7, 2022. Functional Genomics Data Society - FGED Society, founded in 1999 as the MGED Society, advocates for open access to genomic data sets and works towards providing concrete solutions to achieve this. Our goal is to assure that investment in functional genomics data generates the maximum public benefit. Our work on defining minimum information specifications for reporting data in functional genomics papers have already enabled large data sets to be used and reused to their greater potential in biological and medical research. We work with other organizations to develop standards for biological research data quality, annotation and exchange. We facilitate the creation and use of software tools that build on these standards and allow researchers to annotate and share their data easily. We promote scientific discovery that is driven by genome wide and other biological research data integration and meta-analysis.

BiblioSpec enables the identification of peptides from tandem mass spectra by searching against a database of previously identified spectra. This suite of software tools is for creating and searching MS/MS peptide spectrum libraries. BiblioSpec is available free of charge for noncommercial use through an interactive web-site at http://depts.washington.edu/ventures/UW_Technology/Express_Licenses/bibliospec.php The BiblioSpec package contains the following programs: * BlibBuild creates a library of peptide MS/MS spectra from MS2 files. * BlibFilter removes redundant spectra from a library. * BlibSearch searches a spectrum library for matches to query spectra, reporting the results in an SQT file. In addition to the primary programs, the following auxiliary programs are available: * BlibStats writes summary statistics describing a library. * BlibToMS2 writes a library in MS2 file format. * BlibUpdate adds, deletes, or annotates spectra. * BlibPpMS2 processes spectra (bins peaks, removes noise, normalizes intensity) as done in BlibSearch and prints the resulting spectra to a text file. Several reference libraries are available for download. These libraries are updated regularly and are for use under the Linux operating system. You will find libraries for * Escherichia coli * Saccharomyces cerevisiae * Caenorhabditis elegans

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on January 19, 2022.The mission of the Human Antibody Initiative (HAI) aims to promote and facilitate the use of antibodies for proteomics research. The initiative consists of two separate activities; (1) the generation of a catalogue of validated antibodies from many different sources and (2) a protein atlas for the expression and localization of human proteins in normal and disease tissue. The two separate activities have as their primary deliverables to generate databases with free public accessibility. The Antibody Resource database (www.antibodypedia.org) is aimed to produce a comprehensive catalogue of validated antibodies towards human proteins. This initiative depends on input from a large number of academic groups and commercial companies. The Protein Atlas initiative (www.proteinatlas.org) is aimed to provide comprehensive and annotated database of high-resolution images showing tissue profiles in normal and cancer tissues. Both databases will be open to the public without restriction (no passwords).

Fonstein, Kogan, Osterman, Overbeek and Vonstein found the non-profit Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) to follow their vision of seeking advances in understanding through comparative analysis of the growing body of genomic data. The team at FIG began a new open source comparative genomics environment, the SEED. The Project to Annotate 1000 Genomes is a central goal of FIG. FIG is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing support for those analyzing genomes. It focuses on organizing the data needed to support interpretation of genomes, providing the infrastructure needed by the world community in its efforts to achieve understanding. FIG offers the key services required to architect and implement a comparative framework for interpreting genomes. In addition, we pick specific, critical problems and attempt to actively participate in the unraveling of the secrets within these amazing entities. It is only by merging the work of building infrastructure with the applications that use it that we will more deeply understand what is needed at each step.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. The projected cluster includes the LBIs for Applied Cancer Research, Clinical Oncology and Photodynamic Therapy, Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology, Stem Cell Transplantation and Surgical Oncology. The aim of the projected cluster Translational Oncology is the cooperative investigation of genetic and molecular biological characteristics of the tumor cells involved in minimal residual disease (MRD) in vitro and translation of the experimental and diagnostic results into the clinical practice involving therapeutic modalities with the newest generation of antitumoral drugs. Minimal residual disease is the designation for the occurrence of a low number of tumor cells remaining clinically undetected following curative therapy that give rise to tumor relapses. MRD is a central question in cancer therapy, since a major subpopulation of patients which underwent curative resection and therapy ultimately relapse and would have received more aggressive adjuvant therapy, provided that residual disease had been clearly proven. Otherwise low-risk patients would have not been treated aggressively in an adjuvant setting. MRD can be detected by methods in bone marrow or by extremely sensitive PCR (polymerase-chain-reaction)-based methods in peripheral blood. PCR-based methods allow for the characterization of tumor-specific gene expression in circulating tumor cells and thereby provide additional information in regard to malignity of cells and prognosis. The different participating institutions have extensive experience in patient care, organization of clinical studies and laboratory investigation. In particular, expert knowledge in stem cell transplantation and histological detection of MRD, multicentric clinical testing of new anticancer drugs, specialized treatment of various selected tumor entities such as neuroendocrine tumors, gene expression analysis of circulating tumor cells and tumor signatures, and in vitro characterization of chemosensitivity as well as tumor cell biology have been acquired at the individual LBIs in the past and are complementary to each other to be combined in a larger cluster structure. The detection of circulating tumor cells will be supported by ongoing EU (OVCAD OVarian CAncer Diagnosis) and GenAU projects aiming at identification of ovarian cancer cells in the blood. The assessment of methylated DNA sequences (suppressor genes) in peripheral blood as an indicator of MRD can be performed with the help of OncoLab Diagnostics GmbH. Cooperative action in this cluster, using a common tumor bank/clinical data collection and the combined clinical and experimental efforts are the base for the execution of the presented MRD project.
