Olfactory Bulb Odor Map DataBase (OdorMapDB) Resource Report Resource Website |
Olfactory Bulb Odor Map DataBase (OdorMapDB) (RRID:SCR_007287) | OdorMapDB | data or information resource, database, atlas | OdorMapDB is designed to be a database to support the experimental analysis of the molecular and functional organization of the olfactory bulb and its basis for the perception of smell. It is primarily concerned with archiving, searching and analyzing maps of the olfactory bulb generated by different methods. The first aim is to facilitate comparison of activity patterns elicited by odor stimulation in the glomerular layer obtained by different methods in different species. It is further aimed at facilitating comparison of these maps with molecular maps of the projections of olfactory receptor neuron subsets to different glomeruli, especially for gene targeted animals and for antibody staining. The main maps archived here are based on original studies using 2-deoxyglucose and on current studies using high resolution fMRI in mouse and rat. Links are also provided to sites containing maps by other laboratories. OdorMapDB thus serves as a nodal point in a multilaboratory effort to construct consensus maps integrating data from different methodological approaches. OdorMapDB is integrated with two other databases in SenseLab: ORDB, a database of olfactory receptor genes and proteins, and OdorDB, a database of odor molecules that serve as ligands for the olfactory receptor proteins. The combined use of the three integrated databases allows the user to identify odor ligands that activate olfactory receptors that project to specific glomeruli that are involved in generating the odor activity maps. | odor, male, urine, mouse, methyl anisole, patchone, indole, helional, butyrophenone, fenchone, olfactory bulb, fmri, rat, odor ligand, olfactory receptor, smell |

CADRO (RRID:SCR_004046) | CADRO | controlled vocabulary, data or information resource | A classification system developed by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association that can be used to integrate and compare Alzheimer's disease (AD) research portfolios from public and private organizations supporting AD research in the US and abroad. The CADRO was constructed as a three-tier classification system organized around seven major categories: five in research and two resource-related: * Category A. Molecular Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology of Alzheimer's Disease * Category B. Diagnosis, Assessment and Disease Monitoring * Category C. Translational Research and Clinical Interventions * Category D. Epidemiology * Category E. Care, Support and Health Economics of Alzheimer's Diseases * Category F. Research Resources * Category G. Consortia and Public Private Partnerships * Category H. Alzheimer's Disease - Related Dementias Using information from project abstracts and research aims, the above categories were stratified into research topics and these were further divided into research themes. The three levels of classification are meant to enable a fine-grained portfolio analysis that can inform strategic planning and funding decisions. The CADRO was developed as a dynamic portfolio analysis tool that can be used to: (i) capture the changing landscape of AD research funded by different organizations, (ii) identify opportunities for coordination of support for AD research, and (iii) identify funding gaps as well as areas of overlap within and across organizations. | late adult human, alzheimer, aging |

Gait in Aging and Disease Database Resource Report Resource Website |
Gait in Aging and Disease Database (RRID:SCR_006886) | GaitDB | data set, training material, data or information resource, narrative resource | A mini-collection of human gait data that was constructed as a teaching resource for an intensive course (The Modern Science of Human Aging, conducted at MIT) that includes walking stride interval time series from 15 subjects: 5 healthy young adults (23 - 29 years old), 5 healthy old adults (71 - 77 years old), and 5 older adults (60 - 77 years old) with Parkinson's disease. For each subject, two columns of data are included. The first column is time (in seconds) and the second is the stride interval (variously known as stride time, gait cycle duration, and time between successive heel strikes of the same foot). The same data are also available as standard PhysioBank-format annotation (.str) and header (.hea) files, for viewing or analysis using PhysioToolkit software from this site. Subjects walked continuously on level ground around an obstacle-free path. The stride interval was measured using ultra-thin, force sensitive resistors placed inside the shoe. The analog force signal was sampled at 300 Hz with a 12 bit A/D converter, using an ambulatory, ankle-worn microcomputer that also recorded the data. Subsequently, the time between foot-strikes was automatically computed. The method for determining the stride interval is a modification of a previously validated method that has been shown to agree with force-platform measures, a gold standard. Data were collected from the healthy subjects as they walked in a roughly circular path for 15 minutes, and from the subjects with Parkinson's disease as they walked for 6 minutes up and down a long hallway. | early adult human, late adult human, gait, stride | has parent organization: Physiobank | Aging, Healthy, Parkinson's disease | nlx_45963 | SCR_006886 | 2026-02-16 09:46:49 | 0 | ||||||||

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 26, 2019. Database of published microarray gene expression data, and a software tool for comparing that published data to a user''''s own microarray results. It is very simple to use - all you need is a web browser and a list of the probes that went up or down in your experiment. If you find L2L useful please consider contributing your published data to the L2L Microarray Database in the form of list files. L2L finds true biological patterns in gene expression data by systematically comparing your own list of genes to lists of genes that have been experimentally determined to be co-expressed in response to a particular stimulus - in other words, published lists of microarray results. The patterns it finds can point to the underlying disease process or affected molecular function that actually generated the observed changed in gene expression. Its insights are far more systematic than critical gene analyses, and more biologically relevant than pure Gene Ontology-based analyses. The publications included in the L2L MDB initially reflected topics thought to be related to Cockayne syndrome: aging, cancer, and DNA damage. Since then, the scope of the publications included has expanded considerably, to include chromatin structure, immune and inflammatory mediators, the hypoxic response, adipogenesis, growth factors, hormones, cell cycle regulators, and others. Despite the parochial origins of the database, the wide range of topics covered will make L2L of general interest to any investigator using microarrays to study human biology. In addition to the L2L Microarray Database, L2L contains three sets of lists derived from Gene Ontology categories: Biological Process, Cellular Component, and Molecular Function. As with the L2L MDB, each GO sub-category is represented by a text file that contains annotation information and a list of the HUGO symbols of the genes assigned to that sub-category or any of its descendants. You don''''t need to download L2L to use it to analyze your microarray data. There is an easy-to-use web-based analysis tool, and you have the option of downloading your results so you can view them at any time on your own computer, using any web browser. However, if you prefer, the entire L2L project, and all of its components, can be downloaded from the download page.
