Stewart of the NINDS passed on these links to really useful
resources in neuroscience.
Neuroscience Research Resources
1) Human Genetics Resource Center:
http://locus.umdnj.edu/ninds/genetic.html
The repository banks samples from control subjects and
patients with cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, motor
neuron diseases and Parkinsonism.
2) UC Davis/NINDS/NIMH NeuroMab Facility:
http://www.neuromab.org
The Facility generates and distributes at low cost
monoclonal antibodies against nervous system targets.
3) Gene Expression Nervous System Atlas (GENSAT): Includes
adult and developmental expression of genes in the mouse
nervous system
Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) constructs:
http://www.gensat.org/index.html
In Situ Hybridization:
http://www.stjudebgem.org/web/mainPage/mainPage.php
NCBI (hosts both the in situ and BAC data):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gensat/
4) Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center
(MMRRC):
http://www.mmrrc.org/catalog/StrainCatalogSearchForm.jsp,
Contains mice with knocked out and knocked in genes, and
with GENSAT BAC transgenic gene expression reporter
constructs.
5) Allen Brain Atlas:
http://www.brain-map.org/welcome.do
A project to map brain expression of 20,000 mouse genes by
in situ hybridization, and display the expression of these
genes in a easily accessible and useable format.
