Manually curated, comprehensive repository of clusters of differentiation (CDs) which are a) defined as distinct oligosaccharide sequences as part of either glycoproteins and/or glycosphingolipids and b) defined as proteins which have carbohydrate recognition sites (CRDs) or as carbohydrate binding lectins. The data base is generated by exhaustive search of literature and other online data banks related to carbohydrates and proteins. This data bank is the beginning of an effort to provide concise, relevant information of carbohydrate-related CDs in a user- friendly manner. For users convenience the data bank under menu browse of GlycoCD is arranged in two section namely carbohydrate recognition CDs (CRD CD) and glycan CD. The carbohydrate recognition CD part is the collection of proteins which recognize glycan structures by means of the CRDs. Glycan CD is the part in which CDs are summarized which characterize specific oligosaccharide structures. The GlycoCD databank has been developed with the aim to assist the immunologist, cell biologist as well as the clinician who wants to keep up with the present knowledge in this field of glycobiology.

HC2 is an EU funded project that aims to promote, support and help define future lines of research in Human Computer Confluence (HCC). HCC is the study of the intersection of HCI, Cognitive Neuroscience, VR/AR, Presence, Pervasive Computing and how they can enable new forms of sensing, perception, interaction and understanding. In a sense it is the study of the disappearing interface. HCC, Human-Computer Confluence, is an ambitious research program studying how the emerging symbiotic relation between humans and computing devices can enable radically new forms of sensing, perception, interaction, and understanding. The horizontal character of HCC makes it a fascinating and fertile interdisciplinary field, but it can also compromise its growth, with researchers scattered across disciplines and groups worldwide. To address this we are building a community of HCC researchers. There are lots of ways you can join in. Add your name to the HCC Players Map, take advantage of our Exchange Program to work with colleagues at your favorite lab, sign up for our Summer School or just follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn to see what''s happening. In order to foster interdisciplinary research and promote HCC research we have set up an Exchange Program. Students that wish to apply for financial support from our Exchange Program should follow the steps provided. The Exchange Program is open to all graduate students (Masters and PhD). A maximum of 500 Euro support will be provided per student.

Database providing access to information about transmembrane proteins that exist under different conformations, with three primary subfamilies: the cys-loop superfamily, the ATP gated channels superfamily, and the glutamate activated cationic channels superfamily. Due to the lack of evolutionary relationship, these three superfamilies are treated separately. It currently contains 554 entries of ligand-activated ion channel subunits. In this database one may find: the nucleic and proteic sequences of the subunits. Multiple sequence alignments can be generated, and some phylogenetic studies of the superfamilies are provided. Additionally, the atomic coordinates of subunits, or portion of subunits, are provided when available. Redundancy is kept to a minimum, i.e. one entry per gene. Each entry in the database has been manually constructed and checked by a researcher of the field in order to reduce the inaccuracies to a minimum. NOTE: This database is not actively maintained anymore. People should not consider it as an up-to-date trustable resource. For any new work, they should consider using alternative sources, such as UniProt, Ensembl, Protein Databank etc.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th, 2023. A database of human data from functional neuroimaging scientific articles containing Talairach coordinates that provides data for novel information retrieval techniques and automated meta-analyses. Each article in this database is identified by a unique number: A WOBIB. Some of the structure of the Brede database is similar to the structure of the BrainMap database (Research Imaging Center, San Antonio). The database is inspired by the hierarchical structure of BrainMap with scientific articles (bib structures) on the highest level containing one or more experiments (exp structure, corresponding to a contrast in general linear model analyses), these in turn comprising one or more locations (loc structures). The information on the bib level (author, title, ...) is setup automatically from PubMed while the rest of the information is entered manually in a Matlab graphical user interface. On the loc level this includes the 3D stereotactic coordinates in either Talairach or MNI space, the brain area (functional, anatomical or cytoarchitectonic area) and magnitude values such as Z-score and P-value. On the exp level information such as modality, scanner and behavioral domain are recorded with external components (such as face recognition or kinetic boundaries) organized in a directed graph and marked up with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) where possible. The database is distributed as part of the Brede neuroinformatics toolbox (hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/software/brede/) which also provides the functions to manipulate and analyze the data. The Brede Toolbox is a program package primarily written in Matlab. As of 2006/11, 186 papers with 586 experiments.

Data set of metabolic pathways for the malaria parasite based on the present knowledge of parasite biochemistry and on pathways known to occur in other unicellular eukaryotes. This site extracted the pertinent information from the universal sites and presented them in an educative and informative format. The site also includes, cell-cell interactions (cytoadherence and rosetting), invasion of the erythrocyte by the parasite and transport functions. It also contains an artistic impression of the ultrastructural morphology of the interaerythrocytic cycle stages and some details about the morphology of mitochondria and the apicoplast. Most pathways are relevant to the erythrocytic phase of the parasite cycle. All maps were checked for the presence of enzyme-coding genes as they are officially annotated in the Plasmodium genome (http://plasmodb.org/). The site is constructed in a hierarchical pattern that permits logical deepening: * Grouped pathways of major chemical components or biological process ** Specific pathways or specific process *** Chemical structures of substrates and products or process **** Names of enzymes and their genes or components of process Each map is linked to other maps thus enabling to verify the origin of a substrate or the fate of a product. Clicking on the EC number that appears next to each enzyme, connects the site to BRENDA, SWISSPROT ExPASy ENZYME, PlasmoDB and to IUBMB reaction scheme. Clicking of the name of a metabolite, connects the site to KEGG thus providing its chemical structure and formula. Next to each enzyme there is a pie that depicts the stage-dependent transcription of the enzyme''s coding gene. The pie is constructed as a clock of the 48 hours of the parasite cycle, where red signifies over-transcription and green, under-transcription. Clicking on the pie links to the DeRisi/UCSF transcriptome database.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. Database containing information on the cattle genome comprising loci list, phenes list, homology query, cattle maps, gene list, and chromosome homology. The objective of BovMap is to develop a set of anchored loci for the cattle genome map. In total, 58 clones were hybridized with chromosomes and identified loci on 22 of the 31 different bovine chromosomes. Three clones contained satellite DNA. Two or more markers were placed on 12 chromosomes. Sequencing of the microsatellites and flanking regions was performed directly from 43 cosmids, as previously reported. Primers were developed for 39 markers and used to describe the polymorphism associated with the corresponding loci. Users are also allowed to summit their own data for Bovmap. An integrated cytogenetic and meiotic map of the bovine genome has also been developed around the Bovmap database. One objective that Bovmap uses as the mapping strategy for the bovine genome uses large insert clones as a tool for physical mapping and as a source of highly polymorphic microsatellites for genetic typing.

The EuroBioBank network is the first operating network of biobanks in Europe providing human DNA, cell and tissue samples as a service to the scientific community conducting research on rare diseases. It is the only network dedicated to rare disease research in Europe. By creating a critical mass of collections and facilitating the exchange of biological material, the EuroBioBank network helps accelerate research on these diseases. * Over 440,000 samples are available across the network and can be requested via the online catalogue. Approximately 13,000 samples are collected each year and 7,000 samples distributed in Europe and beyond. The biological samples are obtained from patients affected by rare diseases, including rare neuromuscular disorders. * The EuroBioBank Network is currently composed of 18 members, of which 16 biobanks from 8 European countries (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Spain and the United-Kingdom) as well as Israel and Canada. Goals * Identify and localize biological material of interest to researchers * Build a critical mass of rare disease sample collections * Distribute high quality material and associated data to users * Promote best-practice guidelines for biobanking activities * Disseminate knowledge and know-how to the scientific community through training courses * Enhance collaboration with the medical and scientific community in the field of rare diseases EuroBioBank acts as a clearing house or virtual bank, with all samples listed in the central online catalogue remaining in the possession of the member biobanks, where they are located and can be requested. The network was established by patients and researchers to facilitate research on rare diseases by guaranteeing quick and easy access to samples via an online catalogue. The catalogue lists the samples available throughout the EuroBioBank network by type of biomaterial. A search engine enables a search by disease or by bank contact. Once a sample has been located in the catalogue, it can be requested by email. Therefore, the biological material is exchanged faster. If a sample does not appear in the EuroBioBank catalogue, help can be provided to further search it at: eurobiobank (at) telethon.it Funding and Collaboration Originally funded by the EC between 2003-2006, the EuroBioBank received further EC support between 2007-2011 within the European Network of Excellence TREAT-NMD (FP6), which covered the cost sustained by Eurordis for the network coordination and website hosting. Each biobank of the network is financed by its own Institution or charitable organization. As of January 2012, the Fondazione Telethon provides the administrative support for coordinating the EuroBioBank network and hosting the website.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9, 2023. In this web site you will find the central European database of OECI-TuBaFrost collecting the information of biobanks or in the project support environment on human material; i.e., frozen tumor tissue specimens, pathology blocks, blood samples in different forms, cell lines, Tissue Micro Arrays, etc. Our goal is by centralizing the tumor tissues information to facilitate the search of doctors / researchers for tumor materials, which they need for their cancer research there with facilitating cancer research. OECI members only can participate in the OECI-TuBaFrost exchange platform, or those introduced by an OECI member. We are a group of pathology and research departments as well as bio-bankers in clinical based biobanking based in comprehensive cancer centers or hospitals with a competence in comprehensive cancer care across Europe. Each participating institute is involved in cancer research resulting in innovative procedures, new drugs, improved diagnosis and new insights in disease development. The overall result is better care and treatment for cancer patients. To maximize the scientific value of the human tissue samples, information about the clinical status of the patient in combination with the quality and type of samples is very important. A TuBaFrost electronic database will securely store all this information. Within the closed project supporting environments, the data collected will include: * Diagnosis - identification of the type of cancer * Type of tissue collected - the origin, i.e. breast, skin, colorectal * Quality of tissue collected - collection and storage details The tissue is stored in the hospital where the donor was diagnosed/treated. It stays there until it is used or sent to another hospital or research center within the TuBaFrost group. The electronic database will track samples throughout the network. The tissue is not sold. The exchange of tissue to other hospitals is regulated by a contract, which uses the national regulations of the country supplying the tissue. Tissue samples within the TuBaFrost collection will only be used for research, which has been approved by ethics committees. This ensures that the tissue is only used for the best quality research and only for the specific reasons given to the ethics committee.

In collaboration with GenomeEUtwin, the TwinGene project investigates the importance of quantitative trait loci and environmental factors for cardiovascular disease. It is well known that genetic factors are of considerable importance for some familial lipid syndromes and that Type A Behavior pattern and increased lipid levels infer increased risk for cardiovascular disease. It is furthermore known that genetic factors are of importance levels of blood lipid biomarkers. The interplay of genetic and environmental effects for these risk factors in a normal population is less well understood and virtually unknown for the elderly. In the TwinGene project twins born before 1958 are contacted to participate. Health and medication data are collected from self-reported questionnaires, and blood sampling material is mailed to the subject who then contacts a local health care center for blood sampling and a health check-up. In the simple health check-up, height, weight, circumference of waist and hip, and blood pressure are measured. Blood is sampled for DNA extraction, serum collection and clinical chemistry tests of C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, apolipo��protein A1 and B, glucose and HbA1C. The TwinGene cohort contains more than 10000 of the expected final number of 16000 individuals. Molecular genetic techniques are being used to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) for cardiovascular disease and biomarkers in the TwinGene participants. Genome-wide linkage and association studies are ongoing. DZ twins have been genome-scanned with 1000 STS markers and a subset of 300 MZ twins have been genome-scanned with Illumina 317K SNP platform. Association of positional candidate SNPs arising from these genomscans are planned. The TwinGene project is associated with the large European collaboration denoted GenomEUtwin (www.genomeutwin.org, see below) which since 2002 has aimed at gathering genetic data on twins in Europe and setting up the infrastructure needed to enable pooling of data and joint analyses. It has been the funding source for obtaining the genome scan data. Types of samples: * EDTA whole blood * DNA * Serum Number of sample donors: 12 044 (sample collection completed)
