http://compbio.uthsc.edu/miRSNP/

Database of naturally occurring DNA variations in microRNA (miRNA) seed regions and miRNA target sites. MicroRNAs pair to the transcripts of protein-coding genes and cause translational repression or mRNA destabilization. SNPs and INDELs in miRNAs and their target sites may affect miRNA-mRNA interaction, and hence affect miRNA-mediated gene repression. The PolymiRTS database was created by scanning 3'UTRs of mRNAs in human and mouse for SNPs and INDELs in miRNA target sites. Then, the potential downstream effects of these polymorphisms on gene expression and higher-order phenotypes are identified. Specifically, genes containing PolymiRTSs, cis-acting expression QTLs, and physiological QTLs in mouse and the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of human traits and diseases are linked in the database. The PolymiRTS database also includes polymorphisms in target sites that have been supported by a variety of experimental methods and polymorphisms in miRNA seed regions.

http://www.rhesusbase.org/drugDisc/CAM.jsp

OKCAM (Ontology-based Knowledgebase for Cell Adhesion Molecules) is an online resource for human genes known or predicted to be related to the processes of cell adhesion. These genes include members of the cadherin, immunoglobulin/FibronectinIII (IgFn), integrin, neurexin, neuroligin, and catenin families. Totally 496 human CAM genes were compiled and annotated. We have mapped these genes onto a novel cell adhesion molecule ontology (CAMO) that provides a hierarchical description of cell adhesion molecules and their functions. It is intended to provide a means to facilitate better and better understanding of the global and specific properties of CAMs through their genomic features, regulatory modes, expression patterns and disease associations become clearer. You may browse by CAM ontology, Chromosomes and Full Gene list.

https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/WDR78

Open source resource of manually curated and expert reviewed infant brain segmentations hosted on OpenNeuro.org. and OSF.io. Anatomical MRI data was segmented from 71 infant imaging visits across 51 participants, using both T1w and T2w images per visit. Images showed dramatic differences in myelination and intensities across 1–9 months, emphasizing the need for densely sampled gold-standard segmentations across early life. This dataset provides a benchmark for evaluating and improving pipelines dependent upon segmentations in the youngest populations. As such, this dataset provides a vitally needed foundation for early-life large-scale studies such as HBCD.

Data sets of clinical / behavioral and image data are available for download by qualified researchers from a seven year, multi-site, longitudinal study using magnetic resonance technologies to study brain maturation in healthy, typically-developing infants, children, and adolescents and to correlate brain development with cognitive and behavioral development. The information obtained in this study is expected to provide essential data for understanding the course of normal brain development as a basis for understanding atypical brain development associated with a variety of developmental, neurological, and neuropsychiatric disorders affecting children and adults. This study enrolled over 500 children, ranging from infancy to young adulthood. The goal was to study each participant at least three times over the course of the project at one of six Pediatric Centers across the United States. Brain MR and clinical/behavioral data have been compiled and analyzed at a Data Coordinating Center and Clinical Coordinating Center. Additionally, MR spectroscopy and DTI data are being analyzed. The study was organized around two objectives corresponding to two age ranges at the time of enrollment, each with its own protocols. * Objective 1 enrolled children ages 4 years, 6 months through 18 years (total N = 433). This sample was recruited across the six Pediatric Study Centers using community based sampling to reflect the demographics of the United States in terms of income, race, and ethnicity. The subjects were studied with both imaging and clinical/behavioral measures at two year intervals for three time points. * Objective 2 enrolled newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers from birth through 4 years, 5 months, who were studied three or more times at two Pediatric Study Centers at intervals ranging from three months for the youngest subjects to one year as the children approach the Objective 1 age range. Both imaging and clinical/behavioral measures were collected at each time point. Participant recruitment used community based sampling that included hospital venues (e.g., maternity wards and nurseries, satellite physician offices, and well-child clinics), community organizations (e.g., day-care centers, schools, and churches), and siblings of children participating in other research at the Pediatric Study Centers. At timepoint 1, of those enrolled, 114 children had T1 scans that passed quality control checks. Staged data release plan: The first data release included structural MR images and clinical/behavioral data from the first assessments, Visit 1, for Objective 1. A second data release included structural MRI and clinical/behavioral data from the second visit for Objective 1. A third data release included structural MRI data for both Objective 1 and 2 and all time points, as well as preliminary spectroscopy data. A fourth data release added cortical thickness, gyrification and cortical surface data. Yet to be released are longitudinally registered anatomic MRI data and diffusion tensor data. A collaborative effort among the participating centers and NIH resulted in age-appropriate MR protocols and clinical/behavioral batteries of instruments. A summary of this protocol is available as a Protocol release document. Details of the project, such as study design, rationale, recruitment, instrument battery, MRI acquisition details, and quality controls can be found in the study protocol. Also available are the MRI procedure manual and Clinical/Behavioral procedure manuals for Objective 1 and Objective 2.

Consortium that has aggregated resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) and diffusion imaging data from laboratories around the world, creating an open science resource for the imaging community, that facilitates the assessment of test-retest reliability and reproducibility for functional and structural connectomics. Given that this was a retrospective data collection, they have focused on basic phenotypic measures that are relatively standard in the neuroimaging field, as well as fundamental for analyses and sample characterization. Their phenotypic key is organized to reflect three classifications of variables: 1) core (i.e., minimal variables required to characterize any dataset), 2) preferred (i.e., variables that were strongly suggested for inclusion due to their relative import and/or likelihood of being collected by most sites), and 3) optional (variables that are data-set specific or only shared by a few sites). CoRR includes 33 datasets consisting of: * 1629 Subjects * 3357 Anatomical Scans * 5093 Resting Functional Scans * 1302 Diffusion Scans * 300 CBF and ASL Scans

http://trans.nih.gov/bmap/index.htm

The Brain Molecular Anatomy Project is a trans-NIH project aimed at understanding gene expression and function in the nervous system. BMAP has two major scientific goals: # Gene discovery: to catalog of all the genes expressed in the nervous system, under both normal and abnormal conditions. # Gene expression analysis: to monitor gene expression patterns in the nervous system as a function of cell type, anatomical location, developmental stage, and physiological state, and thus gain insight into gene function. In pursuit of these goals, BMAP has launched several initiatives to provide resources and funding opportunities for the scientific community. These include several Requests for Applications and Requests for Proposals, descriptions of which can be found in this Web site. BMAP is also in the process of establishing physical and electronic resources for the community, including repositories of cDNA clones for nervous system genes, and databases of gene expression information for the nervous system. Most of the BMAP initiatives so far have focused on the mouse as a model species because of the ease of experimental and genetic manipulation of this organism, and because many models of human disease are available in the mouse. However, research in humans, other mammalian species, non-mammalian vertebrates, and invertebrates is also being funded through BMAP. For the convenience of interested investigators, we have established this Web site as a central information resource, focusing on major NIH-sponsored funding opportunities, initiatives, genomic resources available to the research community, courses and scientific meetings related to BMAP initiatives, and selected reports and publications. When appropriate, we will also post initiatives not directly sponsored by BMAP, but which are deemed relevant to its goals. Posting decisions are made by the Trans-NIH BMAP Committee

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. A hardware and software package with which a scientist could trace the structure of neurons and other neuroscientific features directly from tissue sections or from a stack of their images into a computer. Then it also could edit, merge, filter, display in 3D, and make realistic plots of the structures. The NTS also includes a substantial statistical package that provided many, now standardized, mathematical and statistical summaries that described each neuron and compared one population to another. Additionally, NTS also provided an embryonic electrotonic modeler that simulates and displayes the electrical functioning of a cell. The NTS uses a special purpose graphics display processor called the VDP3 whose output is presented on a very high resolution CRT. During tracing, the VDP3 presents a variable-diameter cursor and other information directly in the microscope and enables tracing at a high spatial resolution and with measurement of process diameters limited only by the microscope''s optics. Control of tracing is done with a 3D joystick that allows easy control of five input variables: X,Y,Z position, cursor diameter, and a numeric tag. Finally, superb 3D interactive displays of completed cells are provided on the VDP3.
