Dr. Eric Turner''s laboratory studies the mechanisms underlying the development of the nervous system. The vertebrate brain is comprised of a tremendous variety of neurons, each class exhibiting a unique phenotype characterized by the expression of specific neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, patterns of axonal growth, and synapse formation. The research we conduct focuses on the critical role transcription factors play in the specification of neuronal cell type during development. We are particularly interested in transcription factors of the homeodomain family that bind to DNA and in doing so activate or repress gene expression. One area of study is the role of POU-domain transciption factor Brn3a in axon growth and survival. The primary research areas are: * Neuronal cell fate determination: The expression of regulatory genes is manipulated in living chick embryos using microsurgery and electroporation and the effects on neural marker genes studied. * Molecular mechanisms of gene regulation: Target DNA binding sites of neural transcription factors are biochemically characterized and findings coordinated with sequence data from the mouse and human genomes. * Targeted misexpression of regulatory genes: Transgenic and knockout mouse technology is used to misexpress genes of interest, and the effects on neural marker genes, axonal growth, and cell survival studied. * Global analysis of neural gene expression: Micro-arrays (GeneChips) are employed in conjunction with other areas of study to understand the coordinated regulation of gene expression in the nervous system. Dr. Turner is a member of the University of California, San Diego''s Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Biomedical Sciences Program and accepts students from these two programs. Interesting rotation projects are available using methods ranging from biochemistry and molecular biology to embryology. Additionally, Dr. Turner is also the Director of this NIMH-funded training program for research-oriented psychiatrists, psychologists, and basic neuroscientists working in areas relevant to psychiatry. Typically Fellows spend two years in the program, during which they develop a research project under the close supervision of one of the highly productive members of the UCSD Department of Psychiatry, or another investigator in the La Jolla (UCSD/Salk/Scripps) research community.

http://www.repairgenes.org/index.shtml

The aim of the repairGenes site is to be a source of information about DNA repair genes and a useful resource for research on DNA repair. At the moment, the site contains information about a number of DNA repair genes from a set of selected species. The information is organized by organism and by biological process term as defined by the Gene Ontology (GO) project. The coverage of DNA repair genes is not complete, but hopefully it satisfies to demonstrate the concept and generate ideas for future versions of the system. At present, the raw data about DNA repair genes is extracted from the SWISS-PROT database, and categorized using the GO system. SWISS-PROT entries are being annotated by the Gene Ontology Annotation project at EBI. GOA is an ongoing project which will become more complete with time. As more data is released, this will be fed into repairGenes to keep it up-to-date. In future versions, the user will be able to search freely among organisms and categories of repair genes, enabling easy comparisons between species. For a taste of this, please have a look at the overview of repair genes from five major organisms. The amount of information in the system will be increased and the quality will be improved in the future. So will the features of the system.

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 August 23, 2016.

Database of helpful set of CreERT2 driver lines expressing in various regions of the developing and adult zebrafish. The lines have been generated via the insertion of a mCherry-T2A-CreERT2 in a gene trap approach or by using promoter fragments driving CreERT2. You can search the list of all transgenic lines or single entries by insertions (gene) or expression patterns (anatomy/region). In most cases the CreERT2 expression profile using in situ hybridization at 24 hpf and 48 hpf is shown, but also additional information (e.g. mCherry or CreERT2 expression at adult stages, transactivation of a Cre-dependent reporter line) is displayed. Currently, not all insertions have been mapped to a genomic location but the database will be regularly updated adding newly generated insertions and mapping information. Your help in improving and broadening the database by giving your opinion or knowledge of expression patterns is highly appreciated.

http://meme.nbcr.net/meme/cgi-bin/gomo.cgi

Gene Ontology for Motifs (GOMO) is an alignment- and threshold-free comparative genomics approach for assigning functional roles to DNA regulatory motifs from DNA sequence. The algorithm detects associations between a user-specified DNA regulatory motif (expressed as a position weight matrix; PWM) and Gene Ontology terms. The original method for predicting the roles of transcription factors (TFs starts with a PWM motif describing the DNA-binding affinity of the TF. GOMO uses the PWM to score the promoter region of each gene in the genome for its likelihood to be bound by the TF. The resulting ''''affinity'''' scores are then used to test each term in the Gene Ontology for association with high-scoring genes. The algorithm was subsequently extended to leverage conserved signals using multiple, related species in a comparative approach, which greatly improves the resulting annotations.

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#OE2GO

Onto-Express is a web-based tool in the Onto-Tools suite that performs automated function profiling for a list of differentially expressed genes. However, Onto-Express does not support functional profiling for the organisms that do not have annotations in public domain, or use of custom (i.e. user-defined) ontologies. This limitation is also true for most of the other existing tools for functional profiling, which means that researchers working with uncommon organisms and/or new annotations or ontologies may be forced to construct such profiles manually. Onto-Express To Go (OE2GO) is a new tool added to the Onto-Tools ensemble to address these issues. OE2GO is built on top of OE to leverage its existing functionality. In OE2GO, the users now have an option to use either the Onto-Tools database as a source of functional annotations or provide their own annotations in a separate file. Currently, OE2GO supports annotation file in the Gene Ontology format. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
