Biological Biochemical Image Database Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Biological Biochemical Image Database (RRID:SCR_003474) | BBID | data repository, storage service resource, image collection, data or information resource, service resource, image repository, database | Database of images of putative biological pathways, macromolecular structures, gene families, and cellular relationships. It is of use to those who are working with large sets of genes or proteins using cDNA arrays, functional genomics, or proteomics. The rationale for this collection is that: # Except in a few cases, information on most biological pathways in higher eukaryotes is non-existent, incomplete, or conflicting. # Similar biological pathways differ by tissue context, developmental stages, stimulatory events, or for other complex reasons. This database allows comparisons of different variations of pathways that can be tested empirically. # The goal of this database is to use images created directly by biomedical scientists who are specialists in a particular biological system. It is specifically designed to NOT use average, idealized or redrawn pathways. It does NOT use pathways defined by computer algorithm or information search approaches. # Information on biological pathways in higher eukaryotes generally resides in the images and text of review papers. Much of this information is not easily accessible by current medical reference search engines. # All images are attributable to the original authors. All pathways or other biological systems described are graphic representations of natural systems. Each pathway is to be considered a work in progress. Each carries some degree of error or incompleteness. The end user has the ultimate responsibility to determine the scientific correctness and validity in their particular biological system. Image/pathway submissions are welcome. | eukaryota, gene, gene family, biochemical, biological role, cdna, cdna array, cellular relationship, genomics, macromolecule, protein, proteomics, image, pathway, structure, annotation, cell, macromolecular structure, protein, functional genomics, proteomics | has parent organization: Intramural Research Program | NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research | PMID:11099263 | IMAGES MAY NOT BE USED WITHOUT BOTH THE WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHER AND THE BBID DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR., The community can contribute to this resource | nif-0000-00205 | http://bbid.grc.nia.nih.gov/ | SCR_003474 | BBID-Biological Biochemical Image Database | 2026-02-14 02:00:27 | 11 | ||||

It is based on a state-space model which describes, in terms of abrupt shifts and more progressive drifts, the transcription level dynamics along the genome. Alongside variations of transcription level, it incorporates a component of short-range variation to pull apart local artifacts causing correlated dispersion. Reconstruction of the transcription level relies on a conditional sequential Monte Carlo approach that is combined with parameter estimation in a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm known as particle Gibbs. The method allows to estimate the local transcription level, to call transcribed regions, and to identify the transcript borders. | rna-seq, genome, transcription, bio.tools |
