A 20 year, 20,000 person, open longitudinal epidemiological study of a cohort town. GAZEL was not constructed to answer a specific question rather it was designed to help analyze a wide range of scientific problems and is accessible to the community of researchers specializing in epidemiology. Translation is not available for all pages. The GAZEL cohort, set up in 1989 by Inserm Unit 88 (subsequently Unit 687), in cooperation with several departments of ��lectricit�� de France-Gaz de France (EDF-GDF), was a public utility firm in France involved in production, transmission and distribution of energy. GAZEL initially included 20 624 volunteers working at EDF-GDF (15 010 men and 5614 women), aged from 35 to 50 years. In accordance with its purpose as a scientific research platform, the GAZEL cohort is permanently open to epidemiologic research teams. Today, more than 50 projects on very diversified themes have been set up in GAZEL by some 20 teams, French, belonging to different bodies, and foreign (Germany, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, and USA).

Human genetics data from an immense (78,000) and ethnically diverse population available for secondary analysis to qualified researchers through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). It offers the opportunity to identify potential genetic risks and influences on a broad range of health conditions, particularly those related to aging. The GERA cohort is part of the Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), which includes more than 430,000 adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system. Data from this larger cohort include electronic medical records, behavioral and demographic information from surveys, and saliva samples from 200,000 participants obtained with informed consent for genomic and other analyses. The RPGEH database was made possible largely through early support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to accelerate such health research. The genetic information in the GERA cohort translates into more than 55 billion bits of genetic data. Using newly developed techniques, the researchers conducted genome-wide scans to rapidly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomes of the people in the GERA cohort. These data will form the basis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that can look at hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs at the same time. The RPGEH then combined the genetic data with information derived from Kaiser Permanente''s comprehensive longitudinal electronic medical records, as well as extensive survey data on participants'' health habits and backgrounds, providing researchers with an unparalleled research resource. As information is added to the Kaiser-UCSF database, the dbGaP database will also be updated.

http://geneticassociationdb.nih.gov/

The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. The data is from published scientific papers. Study data is recorded in the context of official human gene nomenclature with additional molecular reference numbers and links. It is gene centered. That is, each record is a record of a gene or marker. If a study investigated 6 genes for a particular disorder, there will be 6 records. Anyone may view this database and anyone may submit records. You do not have to be an author on the original study to submit a record. All submitted records will be reviewed before inclusion in the archive. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to human diseases. Most common diseases are influenced by a large number of genetic and environmental factors, most of which individually have only a modest effect on the disease. Though genetic contributions are relatively well characterized for some monogenetic diseases, there has been no effort at curating the extensive list of environmental etiological factors. From a comprehensive search of the MeSH annotation of MEDLINE articles, they identified 3,342 environmental etiological factors associated with 3,159 diseases. They also identified 1,100 genes associated with 1,034 complex diseases from the NIH Genetic Association Database (GAD), a database of genetic association studies. 863 diseases have both genetic and environmental etiological factors available. Integrating genetic and environmental factors results in the etiome, which they define as the comprehensive compendium of disease etiology.

http://www.translatingtime.net

Web tool for translating neurodevelopemental time across species and predicting neurodevelopemental events. This tool was created because clinicians and researchers rely on neurodevelopment data obtained from a variety of non-human species, it is essential to be able to relate studies across the different experimental animals, and ultimately to humans, in an easily accessible format. This web site is based on a mathematical model originally described by Finlay and Darlington (Science, 268:1578-84) that predicts post conception (PC) dates using log transformations. It integrates hundreds of empirically-derived neural events to translate neurodevelopmental time across hamsters, mice, rats, rabbits, spiny mice, guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, rhesus monkeys and humans.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. For updated mutant information, please visit MMRRC or The Jackson Laboratory. Produces, characterizes, and distributes mutant mouse strains with defects in embryonic and postembryonic development. The goal of the ENU Mutagenesis project III is to determine the function of genes on mouse Chromosome 11 by saturating the chromosome with recessive mutations. The distal 40 cM of mouse Chr 11 exhibits linkage conservation with human Chromosome 17. We are using the chemical N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to saturate wild type chromosomes with point mutations. By determining the function of genes on a mouse chromosome, we can extrapolate to predict function on a human chromosome. We expect many of the new mutants to represent models of human diseases such as birth defects, patterning defects, growth and endocrine defects, neurological anomalies, and blood defects. Because many of the mutations we expect to isolate may be lethal or detrimental to the mice, we are using a unique approach to isolate mutations. This approach uses a balancer chromosome that is homozygous lethal and carries a dominant coat color marker to suppress recombination over a reasonable interval.

This is a multiscale network diagram of aging pathways, from molecules to organism. The many observable signs of human senescence have been hypothesized by various researchers to result from several primary causes. Close inspection of the biochemical and physiological pathways associated with age-related changes and with the hypothesized causes reveals several parallel cascades of events that involve several important interactions and feedback loops. This network diagram is presented to aid in conceptualizing the many processes and interactions among them, including promising intervention points for therapy development. Environmental effects and proposed interventions are highlighted around the margins of the network. This diagram is maintained on the Web as a reference for researchers and students. Content is updated as new information comes to light. Sponsors: This work has been supported by Legendary Pharmaceuticals.
