IDEAL, Intrinsically Disordered proteins with Extensive Annotations and Literature, is a collection of knowledge on experimentally verified intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). IDEAL contains manually curated annotations on IDPs in locations, structures, and functional sites such as protein binding regions and posttranslational modification sites together with references and structural domain assignments. Protean segment One of the unique phenomena seen in IDPs is so-called the coupled folding and binding, where a short flexible segment can bind to its binding partner with forming a specific structure to act as a molecular recognition element. IDEAL explicitly annotates these regions as protean segment (ProS) when unstructured and structured information are both available in the region. Access to the data All the entries are tabulated in the list and individual entries can be retrieved by using the search tool at the upper-right corner in this page. IDEAL also provides the BLAST search, which can find homologs in IDEAL. All the information in IDEAL can be downloaded in the XML file.

Dynamic and interactive view of 222 world wide available mouse resources, classified in 22 categories. The massive generation of data has led to the propagation of mouse resources and databases and the concomitant need for formalized experimental descriptions, data standardization and database interoperability and integration. In this context and with these goals, information is collected through an online questionnaire and/or manual curation. All mouse resource data in MRB are broken up in four sections and presented in four tabs: * The General section/tab contains information such as URL(s), contact information, database description and categorization and related links. * The Ontologies & Standards tab indicates controlled vocabularies and data representation standards adopted by each resource, such as ontologies and minimum information standards. A hyperlink to an index of OBO and non-OBO ontologies can be found here; an index of minimum information standards can be found here. * The Technical tab holds technical information for each resource such as the server technology used, relational database management system(s) utilized, programming language(s) of implementation, schema descriptive documents or actual database dumps and most importantly information on each resource''s programmatic access, the integration and interoperability services. Additionally and through the integration with Molgenis, MRB is capable of generating a SOAP API for hosted resources. * The final section on Database Description Framework (DDF) Criteria, describes the compliance of each resource to the CASIMIR database criteria, which aim to capture key technical data about a database in a formal framework. All data in MRB are freely available to interested users through downloadable weekly database dumps. Programmatic access to some of MRB''s data is feasible via MRB''s SOAP web service. MRB is the front end of a relational, fully normalized PostgreSQL database. The source code is available under the GNU general public license (GPL) as a binary download and via cvs.

Center to advance research and training in mathematical, computational and modern imaging approaches to understanding the brain and its functions. Software tools and associated reconstruction data produced in the center are available. Researchers study the relationships between neural function and structure at levels ranging from the molecular and cellular, through network organization of the brain. This involves the development of new computational and analytic tools for imaging and visualization of 3-D neural morphology, from the gross topologic characteristics of the dendritic arbor to the fine structure of spines and their synapses. Numerical simulations of neural mechanisms based on these structural data are compared with in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiological recordings. The group also develops new theoretical and analytic approaches to exploring the function of neural models of working memory. The goal of this analytic work is to combine biophysically realistic models and simulations with reduced mathematical models that capture essential dynamical behaviors while reproducing the functionally important features of experimental data. Research areas include: Imaging Studies, Volume Integration, Visualization Techniques, Medial Axis Extraction, Spine Detection and Classification, Applications of Rayburst, Analysis of Spatially Complex Structures, Computational Modeling, Mathematical and Analytic Studies

The Electronic Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas, EPMBA, at present consists of two sets of annotated images of coronal sections from Gestational Day (GD) 12 heads and GD 16 brains of C57BL/6J mice. Ten micron thick sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Images were prepared at various resolutions for annotations and for high resolution presentation. A subset of sections were annotated and linked to anatomical terms. Additionally, horizontal sections of a GD 12 head were aligned and re-assembled into a 3D volume for digital sectioning in arbitrarily oblique planes. These images were captured using a Nikon E800 stereomicroscope with a 10X objective. The resolution is 1.35 pixels/micrometer. The PC program used to grab the images, Microbrightfield's Neurolucida (version 6), stitched together a mosaic of between 10 and 50 high-res images for each tissue slice, while the user focused the scope for each mosaic tile. Since the nature of optic lenses is to focus on one central point, it was difficult to obtain a uniformly-focused field of vision; as such, small areas of these images are blurred. Images were then transferred to a Macintosh and processed in Adobe Photoshop (version 7). Color levels were adjusted for maximum clarity of the tissue, and areas surrounding the tissue were cleared of artifacts. Each image is approximately 3350 pixels wide by 2650 pixels high. A scale bar with a length of 1350 pixels/mm is visible in the lower right-hand corner of each image. The annotations have been completed for the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Gestational (Embryonic) Day 12 (7/5/07) as well as the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Embryonic Day 16 (4/26/07). The 3D EPMBA data set has been mounted on a NeuroTerrain Atlas Server (NtAS). (6/27/07).

http://dire.dcode.org

Web server based on the Enhancer Identification (EI) method, to determine the chromosomal location and functional characteristics of distant regulatory elements (REs) in higher eukaryotic genomes. The server uses gene co-expression data, comparative genomics, and combinatorics of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) to find TFBS-association signatures that can be used for discriminating specific regulatory functions. DiRE's unique feature is the detection of REs outside of proximal promoter regions, as it takes advantage of the full gene locus to conduct the search. DiRE can predict common REs for any set of input genes for which the user has prior knowledge of co-expression, co-function, or other biologically meaningful grouping. The server predicts function-specific REs consisting of clusters of specifically-associated TFBSs, and it also scores the association of individual TFs with the biological function shared by the group of input genes. Its integration with the Array2BIO server allows users to start their analysis with raw microarray expression data.

Three-dimensional digital connectome atlas of the C57Black/6J mouse brain and catalog of neural tracer injection cases, which will eventually cover the entire brain. Serial sections of each case are available to view at 10x magnification in the interactive iConnectome viewer. The Image Gallery provides a glimpse into some of the highlights of their data set. Representative images of multi-fluorescent tracer labeling can be viewed, while more in depth examination of these and all other cases can be performed in the iConnectome viewer. Phase 1 of this project involves generating a physical map of the basic global wiring diagram by applying proven, state of the art experimental circuit tracing methods systematically, uniformly, and comprehensively to the structural organization of all major neuronal pathways in the mouse brain. Connectivity imaging data for the whole mouse brain at cellular resolution will be presented within a standard 3D anatomic frame available through the website and accompanied by a comprehensive searchable online database. A Phase 2 goal for the future will allow users to view, search, and generate driving direction-like roadmaps of neuronal pathways linking any and all structures in the nervous system. This could be looked on as a pilot project for more ambitious projects in species with larger brains, such as human, and for providing a reliable framework for more detailed local circuitry mapping projects in the mouse.
