The AMP-AD Knowledge Portal is a platform to access data, analytical results and tools generated within the National Institute of Aging’s AD Translational Research Program. All projects within this program operate as an open science collaboration and openly share resources early in the research life cycle for evaluation and reuse. The Portal is named for the first consortium to be initiated, the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Alzheimer’s Disease Target Discovery and Preclinical Validation Project (AMP-AD). The majority of the content in the Portal is genomic data generated from human samples or experimental model systems, including the MODEL-AD Consortium. In addition to this, the Portal also contains bioinformatic analytical results including some generated by teams within individual projects and some generated through multi-team working groups. Bioinformaticians can download these resources for use in their own research. You will need a Synapse account to access the data in the AMP AD Knowledge Portal. The AMP-AD Knowledge Portal is funded by the National Institute on Aging. It is developed and maintained by Sage Bionetworks.

Conditional mutagenesis is a powerful technique that allows studies of gene function where knockout homozygotes are lethal or where the mutation affects multiple systems. This technique is dependent on activity of a recombinase in a tissue or life stage of interest. Information on cre activity and specificity in mice that express recombinases is collected in the Cre Portal. Mouse resources expressing recombinases in a spatial or temporal manner can be queried by tissue or by driver of recombinase expression. Autocomplete of these search boxes will show all available terms; terms in bold indicate data is available for that term. Downloadable reports, data metrics and links to related queries are also available. Data are also available at www.mousemine.org via custom queries and API.

We developed the Mouse Mutant Resource Database (https://mmrdb.jax.org) to host annotated variant calls and sample metadata and to facilitate data sorting, filtering, querying, and sharing. The database employs an algorithm for variant prioritization. The algorithm makes the following assumptions about causative variants: they will be rare (<3%) in the database, the allele ratio of the variant in the sample will fall within expectations for the sample genotype (>0.9 homozygous; 0.2–0.8 heterozygous), and the chromosomal position of the variant will be in agreement with chromosomal linkage data. We optimized the algorithm iteratively by reanalyzing exome data sets with previously confirmed, known mutations.

GXD stores primary data from different types of expression assays. By integrating these data, GXD provides, as data accumulate, increasingly complete information about the expression profiles of transcripts and proteins in different mouse strains and mutants. GXD also describes expression patterns using an extensive, hierarchically-structured dictionary of anatomical terms. In this way, expression results from assays with differing spatial resolution are recorded in a standardized and integrated manner and expression patterns can be queried at different levels of detail. GXD places the gene expression data in the larger biological context by establishing and maintaining interconnections with many other resources. Integration with MGD enables a combined analysis of genotype, sequence, expression, and phenotype data. Links to PubMed, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), sequence databases, and databases from other species further enhance the utility of GXD.

The Glaucoma Discovery Platform allows a user to visualize and interrogate gene expression changes in glaucoma, based on a study done in the lab of Simon John at the Jackson Laboratory. At the time of development existing resources such as GEO and ArrayExpress were not suitable for interrogating and visualizing such as complex dataset. Therefore, to maximize the benefit of this study for us, and the wider scientific community, we developed Glaucoma Discovery Platform, a freely available web-based environment. Glaucoma Discovery Platform was developed using a suite of scripts we term Datgan. To our knowledge, no other resource was available that provided this combination of user-friendly functionality.

Patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) mouse models are a versatile oncology research platform for studying tumor biology and for testing chemotherapeutic approaches tailored to genomic characteristics of individual patient’s tumors. PDX models are generated and distributed by a diverse group of academic labs, multi-institution consortia, and contract research organizations. The distributed nature of PDX repositories and the use of different metadata standards presents a significant challenge to finding PDX models relevant to specific cancer research questions. The Jackson Laboratory and EMBL-EBI are addressing these challenges by co-developing PDX Finder, a comprehensive open global catalog of PDX models and their associated datasets. Within PDX Finder, model attributes are harmonized and integrated using a previously developed community minimal information standard to support consistent searching across the originating resources. Links to repositories are provided from the PDX Finder search results to facilitate model acquisition and/or collaboration.

Comprehensive and accurate Structural Variation (SV) discovery from next generation sequencing data remains a major challenge. Popular approaches to overcome performance limitations of existing SV-calling algorithms are to use complementary algorithms to determine the SV loci and then merge them under a heuristic manner. However, such approaches do not consider the strengths and weaknesses of individual algorithms and either under or over merge the variant loci resulting in false SV calls. Here, we present FusorSV, an open source tool that uses a data mining approach to assess performance and merge callsets from an ensemble of SV-calling algorithms. We developed a FusorSV SV calling model using an ensemble of eight SV-calling algorithms for the analysis of 27 deep-coverage human genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project (1000GP). For an easy-to-use SV detection pipeline, we also built Structural Variation Engine (SVE) that is capable of performing gold standard SV analysis for whole genome sequencing projects.

Image Echelon is a tool to quantify images where meaningful differences are discernible by eye, but difficult to quantify using traditional methods. It was developed to quantify neuronal fasciculation in microscopy images, but can be used to rank images based on any qualitative criteria. Classical methods ask observers to score an image in isolation along a scale (e.g., 1-5), which can be difficult to control between observers, especially in a highly variable data set. Image Echelon asks observers to compare two images and pick a “winner” and a “loser” along some criteria, an easier and more reliable task.

Support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are trained to distinguish whether a gene is or is not an LDO by comparing the predictions of the consituent algorithms across a set of high-confidence examples of known LDOs (the PANTHER LDOs). Originally conceived to predict orthologs between humans and worms, the scope was later expanded to include five commonly used eukaryotic model organisms: humans (Homo sapiens), mice (Mus musculus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), and nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans). The WORMHOLE SVMs are used to calculate LDO confidence scores (aka WORMHOLE Scores) for genome-wide gene pairs between combination of species.
