Under the direction of Stella Somiari, Ph.D., the tissue bank at Windber Research Institute acquires and banks large numbers of high quality and well annotated normal and diseased tissue specimens. These specimens are obtained from fully informed and consented donors using Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocols and are accompanied by detailed clinical, family history and demographic information. The tissue bank has established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for tissue acquisition, handling, processing, packaging and shipping. All collaborators at participating clinics/medical centers utilize these procedures to ensure that the integrity of the specimen is maintained. Tissue types in our collection include plasma, serum, tissue embedded in optimum cutting temperature (OCT), formalin fixed paraffin embedded, and flash frozen. We also isolate and bank tissue derived products such as DNA, RNA and protein for research. Very stringent SOPs are in place for the process of extraction of these tissue-derived products and for quality control/quality assurance (QA/QC). The WRI tissue bank currently has 5 isothermal freezers each with the capacity to store 36,000 specimens. For all specimens obtained from surgical procedures, routine histology is performed to obtain representative Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) stained sections for imaging/archiving. All H & E sections are imaged on the Trestle SL-50 imaging system and these images are available online to designated collaborative sites. A certified pathologist verifies all tissue specimens and WRI has telepathology capabilities, which can also be utilized for pathology verification when a second pathologist opinion is required to confirm specimen diagnosis. Other uses of the telepathology capabilities include the verification of Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) sections (by pathologist) to ensure the correct areas are captured for research. The telepathology system at WRI is the Trestle Corporation's Medmicro system, which permits the pathologist to remotely view, navigate and share images at sub-micron resolution over standard internet connections in real-time.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/carp/

Service that generates Ramachandran-like plots of carbohydrate linkage torsions in pdb-files. The Ramachandran Plot, where backbone torsion angles are plotted against each other, is a frequently used tool to evaluate the quality of a protein 3D structure. For carbohydrate structures, linkage torsions can be evaluated in a similar way. Preferred Phi/Psi values of the torsion angles of glycosidic bonds depend strongly on the types of monosaccharides involved in the linkage, the kind of linkage (1-3, 1-4, etc) as well as the degree of branching of the structure. CARP analyses carbohydrate data given in PDB files using the pdb2linucs algorithm. For each different linkage type a separate plot is generated. The user can choose between two sources for plot background information for comparison: data obtained from PDB provided by GlyTorsion or from GlycoMapsDB. GlycoMapsDB provides calculated conformational maps, which show energetically preferred regions for a specific linkage, while PDB data are based on experimentally solved structures. For seldom occuring linkages, however, PDB data are often rare, so maybe not sufficient background information for comparison will be available from this source., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.cdtdb.brain.riken.jp/CDT/Top.jsp

Transcriptomic information (spatiotemporal gene expression profile data) on the postnatal cerebellar development of mice (C57B/6J & ICR). It is a tool for mining cerebellar genes and gene expression, and provides a portal to relevant bioinformatics links. The mouse cerebellar circuit develops through a series of cellular and morphological events, including neuronal proliferation and migration, axonogenesis, dendritogenesis, and synaptogenesis, all within three weeks after birth, and each event is controlled by a specific gene group whose expression profile must be encoded in the genome. To elucidate the genetic basis of cerebellar circuit development, CDT-DB analyzes spatiotemporal gene expression by using in situ hybridization (ISH) for cellular resolution and by using fluorescence differential display and microarrays (GeneChip) for developmental time series resolution. The CDT-DB not only provides a cross-search function for large amounts of experimental data (ISH brain images, GeneChip graph, RT-PCR gel images), but also includes a portal function by which all registered genes have been provided with hyperlinks to websites of many relevant bioinformatics regarding gene ontology, genome, proteins, pathways, cell functions, and publications. Thus, the CDT-DB is a useful tool for mining potentially important genes based on characteristic expression profiles in particular cell types or during a particular time window in developing mouse brains.

http://prospector.ucsf.edu

A package of over twenty mass spectrometry-based tools primarily geared toward proteomic data analysis and database mining. It can be run from the command line, but is primarily used through a web browser, and there is a public website that allows anyone to use the software without local installation. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis tools are used for database searching and identification of peptides, including post-translationally modified peptides and cross-linked peptides. Support for isotope and label-free quantification from this type of data is provided. MS-Viewer software allows sharing and displaying of annotated spectra from many different tandem mass spectrometry data analysis packages. Other tools include software for analyzing peptide mass fingerprinting data (MS-Fit); prediction of theoretical fragmentation of peptides (MS-Product); theoretical chemical or enzymatic digestion of proteins (MS-Digest); and theoretical modeling of the isotope distribution of any chemical, including peptides (MS-Isotope). Searches using amino acid sequence can be used to identify homologous peptides in a database (MS-Pattern); the use of the combination of amino acid sequence and masses can be used for homologous peptide and protein identification using MS-Homology. Tandem mass spectrometry peak list files can be filtered for the presence of certain peaks or neutral losses using MS-Filter. Given a list of proteins, MS-Bridge can report all potential cross-linked peptide combinations of a specified mass. Given a precursor peptide mass and information about known amino acid presence, absence, or modifications, MS-Comp can report all amino acid combinations that could lead to the observed mass.
