Collection of databases and tools designed to help researchers study the genetics of human ageing using modern approaches such as functional genomics, network analyses, systems biology and evolutionary analyses. A major resource in HAGR is GenAge, which includes a curated database of genes related to human aging and a database of ageing- and longevity-associated genes in model organisms. Another major database in HAGR is AnAge. Featuring over 4,000 species, AnAge provides a compilation of data on aging, longevity, and life history that is ideal for the comparative biology of aging. GenDR is a database of genes associated with dietary restriction based on genetic manipulation experiments and gene expression profiling. Other projects include evolutionary studies, genome sequencing, cancer genomics, and gene expression analyses. The latter allowed them to identify a set of genes commonly altered during mammalian aging which represents a conserved molecular signature of aging. Software, namely in the form of scripts for Perl and SPSS, is made available for users to perform a variety of bioinformatic analyses potentially relevant for studying aging. The Perl toolkit, entitled the Ageing Research Computational Tools (ARCT), provides modules for parsing files, data-mining, searching and downloading data from the Internet, etc. Also available is an SPSS script that can be used to determine the demographic rate of aging for a given population. An extensive list of links regarding computational biology, genomics, gerontology, and comparative biology is also available.

A Java program that functionally annotates variants from whole-exome sequencing data starting from a VCF (Variant Call Format) file (version 4). The functional annotation code is based on Annovar and uses UCSCKnownGene transcript definitions and hg19 genomic coordinates. Variants are prioritized according to user-defined criteria on variant frequency, pathogenicity, quality, inheritance pattern, phenotype data from human and model organisms, and proximity in the interactome to phenotypically similar genes.

Project to improve data and sample exchanges and to facilitate large scale analysis of data by improving interoperability of French Biological Resources Centres (BRC or biobanks) IT systems and biological databases. The work done in this project will be linked to other national (IBiSA, ANR, R��seau des Biobanques, Club 3C-R), European (BBMRI, ELIXIR) or international project (P3G). In the preliminary phase (2009-2010) I3-CRB has developed a directory of French Biological Resource Centres / Biobanks where one may register their French BRC or perform a search across all of them. Detail by overall data or kingdom is provided as well as many filtering options. Access to biological samples is provided by the participating BRC''''s. Biological Resources Centres (BRC or biobanks) collect annotated biological samples from various sources (human, animal, plant, bacteria...). The type of samples depends on the collection and the associated thematic (DNA, proteins, cells, tissues, blood, serum, organisms...). The aims of these centers are to collect, to store, to transform and to distribute the biological samples. They constitute a vital infrastructure for life science and health research. Goals of the French Biobanks/Biological Resource Centres: * List French biobanks and their biological collections * Improve sample exchanges * Improve the international visibility of the French biological collections MeSH terms have been integrated: Domains, diseases, and location of the disease (Anatomy). Collections/species are based on NCBI Taxonomy.

Collaborative network of investigators with a focus on prevention of autoimmune disease, defined as halting the development of autoimmune disease prior to clinical onset by means other than global immunosuppression, and an emphasis on Type 1 diabetes. Its mission is to engage in scientific discovery that significantly advances knowledge for the prevention and regulation of autoimmune disease. The specific goals enunciated in pursuit of this mission are: * To create improved models of disease pathogenesis and therapy to better understand immune mechanisms that will provide opportunities for prevention strategies * To use these models as validation platforms with which to test new tools applicable to human studies * To encourage core expertise and collaborative projects designed for rapid translation from animal to human studies, emphasizing the development of surrogate markers for disease progression and/or regulation which can be utilized in the context of clinical trials
