The internet Primate Aging Database (iPAD) is a multi-centered, relational database of biological variables in aging, captive nonhuman primates. Through joint initiative of the National Institute on Aging (intramural and extramural programs), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), and the National Primate Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (WNPRC), we have organized a database to study biomarkers of aging in nonhuman primates. iPAD also provides an invaluable veterinary and clinical resource, and can generate normative data for numbers of animals across research settings. iPAD now contains over 400,000 data points for body weight, blood chemistry and hematology, for healthy, non-experimental subjects across time. ...

LarvalBase is a comprehensive information system on fish larvae that are relevant in the field of fisheries research and finfish aquaculture, combining traditional sources such as primary and “grey” literature. In addition, data from various sources as Internet and e.g. from practising aquaculturists, even in developing countries, are considered to be valuable for the database. (...) The LarvalBase-Project was started in the beginning of 1998 in close conjunction with FishBase, the largest data base on finfish worldwide (FishBase). However, FishBase holds little information on ichthyoplankton and lacks detailled data on fish larvae identification and rearing. The LarvalBase-Project aimed close these gaps. ...

FlyView is an image database on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Our aim is to establish the possibility to compare images on the computer screen and to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. FlyView presents three possibilities for searching: Search for pattern elements (with keywords in text descriptions, getting back images with links to the appropriate stocks), search for stocks (with stock number, allele, genotype, chromosome, insertion site, viability, developmental stage or expression pattern, getting back a list of found stocks that guide to full descriptions (including links to images, e-mail address for ordering and, in the case of BDGP lines, also direct links to FlyBase and/or EofD)) and Overview (an actual list of all lines included in FlyView, linked to stock descriptions and images). The success of this database exclusively depends on the activity of the Drosophila community. All Drosophila workers are asked to contribute to this database by submitting images and accompanying text. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This database presents the current results of large scale protein trapping screens that provide both information on which cells express each tagged gene, and subcellular localization of GFP-tagged proteins. It contains sequence coordinates of inserted transposons, information on the tagged genes, and images with expression patterns of GFP in Drosophila tissues. FlyTrap serves as the data repository for lines generated in the Chia, Cooley, and Spradling labs. The protein trap stocks listed in FlyTrap are available for distribution. ...

With increasing interest in organogenesis, tissue maintenance and integrity, and the use of zebrafish as a model for human disease, researchers are studying processes that extend further into the larval period. Despite many years of use as a model system an anatomical reference for larval zebrafish does not exist. In order to provide such a resource we developed FishNet an online anatomical reference for zebrafish larval development. Using the technique of optical projection tomography (OPT) (described in Bryson-Richardson and Currie 2004) we have created three- dimensional (3D) models of larval zebrafish from 5 mm to adulthood. Once a 3D model has been created it may be virtually sectioned in any plane or rendered to give a representation of the 3D organization of the sample. ... [Information of the supplier]
Planarians are free-living (non-parasitic) freshwater organisms possessing derivatives of all three germ layers (i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm). These animals are renowned for their developmental plasticity and have attracted the attention of generations of biologists (http://planaria.neuro.utah.edu). Among all flatworm species studied thus far, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is rapidly emerging as a key model organism for the study of regeneration, tissue homeostasis and stem cell biology. The Schmidtea mediterranea Genome Database (SmedGD) is a GMOD compliant database that integrates in a single web-accessible portal all available data associated with the planarian genome, including predicted and annotated genes, ESTs, protein homologies, gene expression patterns and RNAi phenotypes. ...

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. ...

AnAge is a curated database of ageing and life history in animals, including extensive longevity records. AnAge was primarily developed for comparative biology studies, in particular studies of longevity and ageing, but can also be useful for ecological and conservation studies and as a reference for zoos and field biologists. To search AnAge please type keywords or phrases relating to the species or common name of the organism you wish to find. Terms at any taxonomic level are acceptable. AnAge is used by many research groups and has been cited in several publications. It was highlighted in Science (307:187), Nature Reviews Genetics (5:1362), and BioTechniques (39:21). ...

EMAGE is a database of in situ gene expression data in the mouse embryo and an accompanying suite of tools to search and analyse the data. mRNA in situ hybridisation, protein immunohistochemistry and transgenic reporter data is included. These are sourced from the community and our curators take this data and describe it in a standardised way that allows data query and exchange. The description includes a text-based component but the unique aspect of EMAGE is its spatial annotation focus. It is the mission at EMAGE: a) To provide a focal point for biomedical and clinical researchers to access mouse embryo in situ gene expression data sourced from the community, b) To offer high-quality curation and annotation of this data in the spatio-temporal and anatomical framework of the EMAP Digital Atlas, c) To generate and offer methods for analysis of this data and d)To provide EMAGE in the broader context of other bioinformatics resources to generate a tool for understanding the genetic control of mouse development. ...

Welcome to GenAge, a manually curated database of genes related to ageing. GenAge is divided into genes related to longevity and/or ageing in model organisms and ageing-related human genes. The section on human ageing-related genes includes the few genes directly related to ageing in humans and the best candidate genes obtained from model organisms. Human genes are thus considerably better annotated and may serve as a starting point for future studies, including genetic association studies, or even for exploiting clinical interventions in human ageing. A list of genes analyzed for their possible association with human longevity, DNA repair genes classified as ageing- or non-ageing-related, and genes commonly differentially expressed during mammalian ageing which were identified based on our ageing microarray meta-analysis, are also available. The schema of GenAge is available online as well as GenAge's statistics. Release notes for the current build are also available. ... [Information of the supplier]
