Image resource including ascidian's three-dimensional (3D) and cross-sectional images through the developmental time course. These images were reconstructed from more than 3,000 high-resolution real images collected by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) at newly defined 26 distinct developmental stages (stages 1-26) from fertilized egg to hatching larva, which were grouped into six periods named the zygote, cleavage, gastrula, neurula, tailbud, and larva periods. The data set will be helpful in standardizing developmental stages for morphology comparison as well as for providing guidelines for several functional studies of a body plan in chordate.

http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/gwBrowser/

An interactive web application for visualizing genomic data of sequenced prokaryotic chromosomes. It allows users to carry out various analyses such as mapping alignments of homologous genes to other genomes, mapping of short sequencing reads to a reference chromosome, and calculating DNA properties such as curvature or stacking energy along the chromosome. The GeneWiz browser produces an interactive graphic that enables zooming from a global scale down to single nucleotides, without changing the size of the plot. Its ability to disproportionally zoom provides optimal readability and increased functionality compared to other browsers. The tool allows the user to select the display of various genomic features, color setting and data ranges. Custom numerical data can be added to the plot allowing, for example, visualization of gene expression and regulation data. Further, standard atlases are pre-generated for all prokaryotic genomes available in GenBank, providing a fast overview of all available genomes, including recently deposited genome sequences.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. It contains information about segmental duplications in the genomes of chimpanzee, mouse, and rat. The criteria used to identify regions of segmental duplication are: * Sequence identity of at least 90% * Sequence length of at least 5 kb * Not be entirely composed of repetitive elements. BACKGROUND: The high quality of the mouse genome draft sequence and its associated annotations are an invaluable biological resource. Identifying recent duplications in the mouse genome, especially in regions containing genes, may highlight important events in recent murine evolution. In addition, detecting recent sequence duplications can reveal potentially problematic regions of the genome assembly. We use BLAST-based computational heuristics to identify large (>/= 5 kb) and recent (>/= 90% sequence identity) segmental duplications in the mouse genome sequence. Here we present a database of recently duplicated regions of the mouse genome found in the mouse genome sequencing consortium (MGSC) February 2002 and February 2003 assemblies. RESULTS: We determined that 33.6 Mb of 2,695 Mb (1.2%) of sequence from the February 2003 mouse genome sequence assembly is involved in recent segmental duplications, which is less than that observed in the human genome (around 3.5-5%). From this dataset, 8.9 Mb (26%) of the duplication content consisted of "unmapped" chromosome sequence. Moreover, we suspect that an additional 18.5 Mb of sequence is involved in duplication artifacts arising from sequence misassignment errors in this genome assembly. By searching for genes that are located within these regions, we identified 675 genes that mapped to duplicated regions of the mouse genome. Sixteen of these genes appear to have been duplicated independently in the human genome. From our dataset we further characterized a 42 kb recent segmental duplication of Mater, a maternal-effect gene essential for embryogenesis in mice. CONCLUSION: Our results provide an initial analysis of the recently duplicated sequence and gene content of the mouse genome. Many of these duplicated loci, as well as regions identified to be involved in potential sequence misassignment errors, will require further mapping and sequencing to achieve accuracy. A Genome Browser database was set up to display the identified duplication content presented in this work. This data will also be relevant to the growing number of investigators who use the draft genome sequence for experimental design and analysis. The segmental duplication data and summary statistics are available for download and can also be visualized in a genome browser in the GBrowse section. Selected annotation tracks (except the segmental duplication track) have also been obtained from UCSC and loaded into the genome browser. Detailed information (e.g. overlapping genes, overlapping clones, detailed alignment) can be obtained by clicking on a duplication cluster in GBrowse. Both keyword search and BLAT search are available. Analyses based on previous genome assemblies can be found in the Previous Analyses section. Recent Developments The Non-Human Genome Segmental Duplication Database is continually updated including the archived copies of the analysis of all previous genome assemblies and will include all new species as they become available.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. An international research partnership of leading scientists determined to understand a rare form of Alzheimers disease that is caused by a gene mutation and to establish a research database and tissue repository to support research on Alzheimers disease by other investigators around the world. One goal of DIAN is to study possible brain changes that occur before Alzheimers disease is expressed in people who carry an Alzheimers disease mutation. Other family members without a mutation will serve as a comparison group. People in families in which a mutation has been identified will be tracked in order to detect physical or mental changes that might distinguish people who inherited the mutation from those who did not. DIAN currently involves eleven outstanding research institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. John C. Morris, M.D., Friedman Distinguished Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is the principal investigator of the project., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Doumented on September 23,2022. The National Cancer Institute initially established the Cooperative Prostate Cancer Tissue Resource (CPCTR) to provide prostate cancer tissue samples with clinical annotation to researchers. The Resource provides access to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded primary prostate cancer tissue with associated clinical and follow-up data for research studies, particularly studies focused on translating basic research findings into clinical application. Fresh-frozen tissue is also available with limited clinical follow up information since these are more recent cases. The Resource database contains pathologic and clinical information linked to a large collection of prostate tissue specimens that is available for research. Researchers can determine whether the Resource has the tissues and patient data they need for their individual research studies. Consultation and interpretive services: Assistance is available from trained CPCTR pathologists. The CPCTR can provide consultative assistance in staining interpretation, and scoring, on a collaborative basis. Fresh Frozen and Paraffin Tissue: The resource has over 7,000 annotated cases (including 7,635 specimens and 38,399 annotated blocks). Tissue Microarrays (TMA): The CPCTR has slides from prostate cancer TMAs with associated clinical data. The information provided for each case on the arrays (derived from radical prostatectomy specimens) includes: age at diagnosis, race, PSA at diagnosis, tumor size, TNM stage, Gleason score and grade, and vital status and other variables.
