http://neuromorpho.org/index.jsp

Centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications that contains some of the most complete axonal arborizations digitally available in the community. Each neuron is represented by a unique identifier, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction, and a set of morphometric features. It contains contributions from over 100 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. Users may browse by species, brain region, cell type or lab name. Users can also download morphological reconstructions for research and analysis. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss. Centralized curation and annotation aims at minimizing the effort required by data owners while ensuring a unified format. It also provides a one-stop entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 6, 2016. The Allen Institute Neurowiki is a joint project between Vulcan Inc. and the Allen Institute to build a Semantic Wiki mapping genetic instances. It is a finished prototype testing the import pipelines and display componenets for combining 5 major RDF datasets from 4 different sources. Current planning includes mapping complete datasets, curating a better ontology, and creating multiple ontology management for a user class. Biological Linked Data Map: * Open, public online access * Data from multiple RDF data stores * Complete import pipeline using LDIF framework * Outlines of each imported instance embedding inline wiki properties and providing views of imported properties from original RDF datasets * Charting tools that ''''pivot'''' SPARQL queries providing several views of each query * Navigation and composition tools for accessing and mining the data Where did we get the data? * KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes: KEGG GENES is a collection of gene catalogs for all complete genomes generated from publicly available resources, mostly NCBI RefSeq * Diseasome: The Diseasome website is a disease / disorder relationships explorer and a sample of an innovative map-oriented scientific work. Built by a team of researchers and engineers, it uses the Human Disease Network dataset. * DrugBank: The DrugBank database is a unique bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug data with comprehensive drug target information. * Sider: Sider contains information on marketed medicines and their recorded adverse drug reactions. The information is extracted from public documents and package inserts. Every piece of content on every instance page is generated by Semantic Result Formatters interpreting SPARQL results.

http://cellfinder.de/

Database of mapped validated gene and protein expression, phenotype and images related to cell types. The data allow characterization and comparison of cell types and can be browsed by using the body browser and by searching for cells or genes. All cells are related to more complex systems such as tissues, organs and organisms and arranged according to their position in development. CellFinder provides long-term data storage for validated and curated primary research data and provides additional expert-validation through relevant information extracted from text. Operated under the Open Source/Access model, community and scientific networking applications will allow users to store and retrieve their data and to explore cells and their interactions on singular and complex resolution levels. The involvement of stem cell registries and banks will allow direct access to selected cells. The set up the stem cell data repository will involve three lines of action: * the acquisition of scientific data and contents * the standardized description of this data, its organization with the help of ontologies and technical implementation * the integration of existing sources/logistics and to ensure sustainable long-term operation
