Web-based access to mouse models of human cancers: the Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database.

Project description:The Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) Database serves as a curated, integrated resource for information about tumor genetics and pathology in genetically defined strains of mice (i.e., inbred, transgenic and targeted mutation strains). Sources of information for the database include the published scientific literature and direct data submissions by the scientific community. Researchers access MTB using Web-based query forms and can use the database to answer such questions as 'What tumors have been reported in transgenic mice created on a C57BL/6J background?', 'What tumors in mice are associated with mutations in the Trp53 gene?' and 'What pathology images are available for tumors of the mammary gland regardless of genetic background?'. MTB has been available on the Web since 1998 from the Mouse Genome Informatics web site (http://www.informatics.jax.org). We have recently implemented a number of enhancements to MTB including new query options, redesigned query forms and results pages for pathology and genetic data, and the addition of an electronic data submission and annotation tool for pathology data.

The Mouse Genome Database (MGD): integrating biology with the genome.

Project description:The Mouse Genome Database (MGD) is one component of the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) system (http://www.informatics.jax.org), a community database resource for the laboratory mouse. MGD strives to provide a comprehensive knowledgebase about the mouse with experiments and data annotated from both literature and online sources. MGD curates and presents consensus and experimental data representations of genetic, genotype (sequence) and phenotype information including highly detailed reports about genes and gene products. Primary foci of integration are through representations of relationships between genes, sequences and phenotypes. MGD collaborates with other bioinformatics groups to curate a definitive set of information about the laboratory mouse and to build and implement the data and semantic standards that are essential for comparative genome analysis. Recent developments in MGD discussed here include an extensive integration of the mouse sequence data and substantial revisions in the presentation, query and visualization of sequence data.

Identifying mouse models for skin cancer using the Mouse Tumor Biology Database.

Project description:In recent years, the scientific community has generated an ever-increasing amount of data from a growing number of animal models of human cancers. Much of these data come from genetically engineered mouse models. Identifying appropriate models for skin cancer and related relevant genetic data sets from an expanding pool of widely disseminated data can be a daunting task. The Mouse Tumor Biology Database (MTB) provides an electronic archive, search and analysis system that can be used to identify dermatological mouse models of cancer, retrieve model-specific data and analyse these data. In this report, we detail MTB's contents and capabilities, together with instructions on how to use MTB to search for skin-related tumor models and associated data.

UTGB/medaka: genomic resource database for medaka biology.

Project description:Medaka (Oryzias latipes) is a small egg-laying freshwater teleost native to East Asia that has become an excellent model system for developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. The draft medaka genome sequence (700 Mb) was reported in June 2007, and its substantial genomic resources have been opened to the public through the University of Tokyo Genome Browser Medaka (UTGB/medaka) database. This database provides basic genomic information, such as predicted genes, expressed sequence tags (ESTs), guanine/cytosine (GC) content, repeats and comparative genomics, as well as unique data resources including (i) 2473 genetic markers and experimentally confirmed PCR primers that amplify these markers, (ii) 142,414 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and 217,344 fosmid end sequences that amount to 15.0- and 11.1-fold clone coverage of the entire genome, respectively, and were used for draft genome assembly, (iii) 16,519,460 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and 2 859 905 insertions/deletions detected between two medaka inbred strain genomes and (iv) 841 235 5'-end serial analyses of gene-expression (SAGE) tags that identified 344 266 transcription start sites on the genome. UTGB/medaka is available at: http://medaka.utgenome.org/.

RiTE database: a resource database for genus-wide rice genomics and evolutionary biology.

Project description:Comparative evolutionary analysis of whole genomes requires not only accurate annotation of gene space, but also proper annotation of the repetitive fraction which is often the largest component of most if not all genomes larger than 50 kb in size.Here we present the Rice TE database (RiTE-db)--a genus-wide collection of transposable elements and repeated sequences across 11 diploid species of the genus Oryza and the closely-related out-group Leersia perrieri. The database consists of more than 170,000 entries divided into three main types: (i) a classified and curated set of publicly-available repeated sequences, (ii) a set of consensus assemblies of highly-repetitive sequences obtained from genome sequencing surveys of 12 species; and (iii) a set of full-length TEs, identified and extracted from 12 whole genome assemblies.This is the first report of a repeat dataset that spans the majority of repeat variability within an entire genus, and one that includes complete elements as well as unassembled repeats. The database allows sequence browsing, downloading, and similarity searches. Because of the strategy adopted, the RiTE-db opens a new path to unprecedented direct comparative studies that span the entire nuclear repeat content of 15 million years of Oryza diversity.

The TRIPLES database: a community resource for yeast molecular biology.

Project description:TRIPLES is a web-accessible database of TRansposon-Insertion Phenotypes, Localization and Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae-a relational database housing nearly half a million data points generated from an ongoing study using large-scale transposon mutagenesis to characterize gene function in yeast. At present, TRIPLES contains three principal data sets (i.e. phenotypic data, protein localization data and expression data) for over 3500 annotated yeast genes as well as several hundred non-annotated open reading frames. In addition, the TRIPLES web site provides online order forms linked to each data set so that users may request any strain or reagent generated from this project free of charge. In response to user requests, the TRIPLES web site has undergone several recent modifications. Our localization data have been supplemented with approximately 500 fluorescent micrographs depicting actual staining patterns observed upon indirect immunofluorescence analysis of indicated epitope-tagged proteins. These localization data, as well as all other data sets within TRIPLES, are now available in full as tab-delimited text. To accommodate increased reagent requests, all orders are now cataloged in a separate database, and users are notified immediately of order receipt and shipment. Also, TRIPLES is one of five sites incorporated into the new functional analysis tool Function Junction provided by the Saccharomyces Genome Database. TRIPLES may be accessed from the Yale Genome Analysis Center (YGAC) homepage at http://ygac.med.yale.edu.

Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) expression resource-RNAseq

Project description:The Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) expression resource is a new resource for studying prenatal human brain development. It consists of two parts which have been uploaded as two submissions: HDBR expression resource- RNAseq (E-MTAB-4840, this submission) and HDBR expression resource- SNP data (E-MTAB-4843). It is unique in the age range (4 post conception weeks [PCW] to 17PCW) and number of brains studied, particularly those under 8PCW. It is also unique in that both the large-scale data sets and the corresponding RNA and DNA samples are available, the latter via the MRC-Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR; http://www.hdbr.org). There are 628 RNA-seq datasets from different regions of the brains studied. The number of regions depends on the stage and size of the sample and/or the tissue available. Embryos (4-8PCW) have been staged using a modified Carnegie staging system, details can be found at http://database.hudsen.eu/. All the RNAseq datasets from the same brain have the same embryo/fetus number (e.g. RNAseq datasets HDBR251-HDBR254 are from different tissues from embryo number 1406). The embryo/fetus ID number is recorded in the individual column. The majority of the brains studied are between 4 and 12PCW. During this time the major brain regions are established and there are the early stages of cortex development. DNA was prepared from all the tissues used for RNA-seq analysis and SNP genotype data generated from one tissue from each brain. RNA-seq data and SNP-data from the same tissue and brain have the same name (e.g. HDBR469). There are also SNP genotype data from 229 additional specimens in paraffin wax blocks available for individual gene expression studies. These data are in the accompanying HDBR expression resource- SNP data (E-MTAB-4843).

Integrating computationally assembled mouse transcript sequences with the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database.

Project description:Databases of experimentally generated and computationally derived transcript sequences are valuable resources for genome analysis and annotation. The utility of such databases is enhanced when the sequences they contain are integrated with such biological information as genomic location, gene function, gene expression and phenotypic variation. We present the analysis and results of a semi-automated process of connecting transcript assemblies with highly curated biological information for mouse genes that is available through the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database.
