The potential of a pesticide or biocide to cause adverse effects in the developing embryo or fetus is an important consideration in any health risk assessment for humans and wildlife. Such information is usually derived from experimental studies in which pregnant laboratory animals are exposed to various concentrations of compounds during critical stages of fetal development. The terms and diagnostic criteria used to describe fetal anomalies need to be consistent from one laboratory to another. Consequently, the DevTox Project has three main objectives: To harmonize the nomenclature used to describe developmental anomalies in laboratory animals, to assist in the visual recognition of developmental anomalies with the aid of photographs, and to provide a historical control database of developmental effects in laboratory animals. ...

This is the Hyperlinked Human Histology (HHH) Home Page. This is being developed for students to use when they want to tie together the micro and the macro of immunology. For example, in immunology classes, students learn about the proteins involved in T cell responses, but lose sight of where this happens in the body. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Pest Information Wiki has a literature database where each publication page contains information on which pests, diseases, or weeds the publication deals with. Related information like which research topic, host plants or field location (country or part of a country) the article has been covering can also be included in a publication page. These data can then be retrieved on other pages. For example, a page on a pest can then display lists of literature which are relevant to this pest, like lists sorted by research topics (e.g. Bibliography:Leptinotarsa decemlineata) or lists of distribution records or host plant records (e.g. see the top left in the page Leptinotarsa decemlineata). ...

This dataset contains 99 genes and comes from Catalina Betancur's review published in Brain Research in 2011 (Betancur, 2011). Different genetic and genomic disorders in which ASDs have been described as one of the possible manifestations were collected. Genes, CNVs and linkage regions associated with autism were searched from literature and curated. Six categories of literatures were included in our collection: genome-wide association studies, expression profiling, genome-wide CNV studies, linkage analysis, low-scale genetic association studies and other low-scale gene studies. Representative meta-data about key clinical and demographic characteristics was collected. ... [Information of the supplier]
Database of Bacterial ExoToxins for Human (DBETH) is a database of sequences, structures, interaction networks and analytical results for 229 exotoxins, from 26 different human pathogenic bacterial genus. All toxins are classified into 24 different Toxin classes. The aim of DBETH is to provide a comprehensive database for human pathogenic bacterial exotoxins. DBETH also provides a platform to its users to identify potential exotoxin like sequences through Homology based as well as Non-homology based methods. In homology based approach the users can identify potential exotoxin like sequences either running BLASTp against the toxin sequences or by running HMMER against toxin domains identified by DBETH from human pathogenic bacterial exotoxins. In Non-homology based part DBETH uses a machine learning approach to identify potential exotoxins (Toxin Prediction by Support Vector Machine based approach). ... [Information of the supplier]
The CEBS database houses data of interest to environmental health scientists. CEBS is a public resource, and has received depositions of data from academic, industrial and governmental laboratories. CEBS is designed to display data in the context of biology and study design, and to permit data integration across studies for novel meta analysis. ... [Information of the supplier]
This database is primary aimed at providing an exhaustive and updated registry of sequence variants identified in auto-inflammatory disorder related genes. Since we believe that an attempt to retrieve phenotypical information from all patients identified throughout the world would be an impossible task, we chose to allow only one inclusion per variant (duplicates are automatically rejected), although we allocated a short space for clinical information on the initial patient. The relatively high number of variants with unknown associated phenotype likely stems from the fact that most data are submitted by laboratories performing genetic diagnosis, which do not always have relevant clinical information about the patients. Conversely, a number of apparently simple polymorphisms, i.e. intronic variants not located in splice acceptor or donor sites and silent mutations, were found in symptomatic individuals during the diagnostic test. Since functional experiments are generally lacking, we cannot rule out that these variants do not alter regulatory splice elements, thus acting as true mutations. For all these reasons, we recommend that this database should not be used as a reference for phenotype-genotype correlation. ... [Information of the supplier]
AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library, as well as a primary public source for world-wide access to agricultural information. The database covers materials in all formats and periods, including printed works from as far back as the 15th century. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. Although the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA) does not contain the text of the materials it cites, thousands of its records are linked to full-text documents online, with new links added daily. ...

AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms. At present, the data for the marine algae, particularly seaweeds, are the most complete. (...) AlgaeBase Literature Search offers a bibliographic database with 35,000+ titles. [Information of the supplier, modified]
ALTBIB: Bibliography on Alternatives to the Use of Live Vertebrates in Biomedical Research and Testing - The intent of the bibliography is to assist in identifying methods and procedures helpful in supporting the development, testing, application, and validation of alternatives to the use of vertebrates in biomedical research and toxicology testing. This bibliography is produced from MEDLARS database searches, performed and analyzed by subject experts from the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) of the Specialized Information Services Division (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). ...
