Mouse BIRN Resources
BIRN Data Sharing Policy - Data will be openly shared and made available with no restrictions other than subject confidentiality.
- Data users should cite data contributors and reference the corresponding BIRN accession number(s).
- To maintain the protection of human subjects, you agree not to attempt in any way to discover the identity of any of the human subjects.
Shared Data Highlights
- Mouse 3D Atlas - An atlas based on a magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) image diffusion-weighted in the Z-direction acquired from a normal, 100-day old male C57BL/6J mouse. The atlas is comprised of a diffusion-weighted image volume, a label volume, a mask volume, and a label index.
- Mouse Shiverer DTI - High-resolution (80um isotropic) contrast-enhanced diffusion tensor data was acquired from six background control (C3HeB) and six dysmyelinating shiverer (C3Fe.SWV shi/shi) mouse brains. The data consists of nominally unweighted and diffusion weighted images with optimized icosahedral sampling.
- Cerebellum Large Scale Mosaic - Large scale multiphoton microscopy mosaic image from cerebellum of C57BL/6H normal mouse. A high resolution multiphoton microscopy mosaic image of a cerebellar distribution of cell bodies (Hoescht 33342; blue) and alpha-synuclein (green) from a non-transgenic animal.
- Hippocampus Large Scale Mosaic - Large scale multiphoton microscopy mosaic image from hippocampus of C57BL/6H D-line transgenic mouse overexpressing alpha-synuclein. A high resolution multiphoton microscopy mosaic image of distribution of cell bodies (Hoescht 33342; blue) and alpha-synuclein (green) from a D-line transgenic animal overexpressing alpha-synuclein under the PDGF promoter.
Data Management Tools
Data query - UTHSC (Rob Williams)
Modified search commands that facilitate mouse BIRN integration with GeneNetwork microarray data. These commands are being used by groups in the mouse BIRN to query this database. For information on how to use this interface, see http://www.genenetwork.org/CGIDoc.html.
