Genes to Cognition: Neuroscience Research Programme Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Genes to Cognition: Neuroscience Research Programme (RRID:SCR_007121) | data or information resource, topical portal, portal | A neuroscience research program that studies genes, the brain and behavior in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. Central to G2C investigations is the NMDA receptor complex (NRC/MASC), that is found at the synapses in the central nervous system which constitute the functional connections between neurons. Changes in the receptor and associated components are thought to be in a large part responsible for the phenomenon of synaptic plasticity, that may underlie learning and memory. G2C is addressing the function of synapse proteins using large scale approaches combining genomics, proteomics and genetic methods with electrophysiological and behavioral studies. This is incorporated with computational models of the organization of molecular networks at the synapse. These combined approaches provide a powerful and unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of disease genes in behavior and brain pathology as well as provide fundamental insights into the complexity of the human brain. Additionally, Genes to Cognition makes available its biological resources, including gene-targeting vectors, ES cell lines, antibodies, and transgenic mice, generated for its phenotyping pipeline. The resources are freely-available to interested researchers. | cognition, gene, neuroscience |

The specific aim of the ORE effort is to promote (through creation or endorsement) effective and consistent mechanisms which: facilitate discovery of compound digital objects; reference (or link to) these objects (as well as parts thereof); obtain a variety of disseminations of these objects; aggregate and disaggregate objects; and enable processing of objects by automated agents. | compound digital object, aggregation, metadata standard, ontology, interoperability, atom, rdf, xml, rdfa | is listed by: FORCE11 | Open Archives Initiative ; Andrew W.

Comparative Sequencing of Plant Small RNAs Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Comparative Sequencing of Plant Small RNAs (RRID:SCR_007003) | data or information resource, production service resource, analysis service resource, service resource, data analysis service, data set | This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction. | has parent organization: University of Delaware; Delaware; USA | NSF 0638525 | nlx_37749 | SCR_007003 | 2026-02-17 10:01:09 | 1 | ||||||||||

NSR Physiome Project (RRID:SCR_007379) | NSR Physiome Project | software application, data or information resource, topical portal, training resource, software resource, professional program, portal, simulation software | Database of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological information on humans and other organisms and integration through computational modeling. Models include everything from diagrammatic schema, suggesting relationships among elements composing a system, to fully quantitative, computational models describing the behavior of physiological systems and an organism''s response to environmental change. Each mathematical model is an internally self-consistent summary of available information, and thereby defines a working hypothesis about how a system operates. Predictions from such models are subject to test, with new results leading to new models.BR /> A Tool developed for the NSR Physiome project is JSim, an open source, free software. JSim is a Java-based simulation system for building quantitative numeric models and analyzing them with respect to experimental reference data. JSim''s primary focus is in physiology and biomedicine, however its computational engine is quite general and applicable to a wide range of scientific domains. JSim models may intermix ODEs, PDEs, implicit equations, integrals, summations, discrete events and procedural code as appropriate. JSim''s model compiler can automatically insert conversion factors for compatible physical units as well as detect and reject unit unbalanced equations. JSim also imports the SBML and CellML model archival formats. All JSim models are open source. Goals of the Physiome Project: - To develop and database observations of physiological phenomenon and interpret these in terms of mechanism (a fundamentally reductionist goal). - To integrate experimental information into quantitative descriptions of the functioning of humans and other organisms (modern integrative biology glued together via modeling). - To disseminate experimental data and integrative models for teaching and research. - To foster collaboration amongst investigators worldwide, to speed up the discovery of how biological systems work. - To determine the most effective targets (molecules or systems) for therapy, either pharmaceutic or genomic. - To provide information for the design of tissue-engineered, biocompatible implants. | physiome, computational modeling, cell, organ, organism, human, model, physiological, pharmacological, pathological, model repository, sbml, cellml, biophysics, biochemistry, database, proteome, jsim simulation analysis system, data analysis tool, parameter optimization tool, integrating biological system | has parent organization: University of Washington; Seattle; USA | NSF BE08407; NHLBI T15 HL88516-01; NSF BES-0506477; NHLBI R01HL073598; NIBIB R01EB001973 |
