UI Updates, New Datasets and Annual Meeting Dates

Read on for information about our latest data offerings, the latest UI updates to the Data Browser and dates for the next Annual Meeting.

Latest Datasets

Here are the latest data offerings from the FaceBase projects:

From Integrated research of functional genomics and craniofacial morphogenesis:

• MicroCT scans of the head tissue of Wnt1-Cre;Alk5fl/fl at P0 (FB00000911, FB00000915 and FB00000916)

• Another dataset of microCT scans of the skull of Wnt1-Cre;Alk5fl/fl at P0

• Cell Proliferation Heat Maps of:

  • E 10.5 mouse embryo (two replicates: FB00000918 and FB00000919),

  • E12.5 mandible

  • E14.5 maxilla.

• Whole-genome transcriptome profiling of E13.4 Wnt1-Cre;Tgfbr2flfl by microarray of maxilla and mandible

From Genomic and Transgenic Resources for Craniofacial Enhancer Studies:

• 4 datasets of transgenic mouse enhancer assays: mm1089, mm1094, mm1096, mm636

• ChIP-seq of multiple histone marks and RNA-seq from CS18 human embryonic face tissue

UI Updates

We’ve been taking feedback from users and submission projects and are constantly working to improve the Data Browser experience. Below are some of the recent steps we’ve taken but there’ll be many more to come in the next couple of months!

• Mouse age stages are sorted according to developmental stage (E8.5, …E10,… P0) rather than alphabetically.

• No longer displaying the dataset thumbnails.

• PubMed IDs are now displayed as either “PMID:xxxxx” or “Link to PubMed (PMID:xxxx)” depending on where they are displayed.

• Vocabulary tags (phenotype, age stage, organism, experiment type, etc.) are now displayed towards the top of the page for a dataset rather than in a new section w/ heading for each.

• Chromosome (when shown on a dataset page) is formatter per usual convention “chrN: start – end”

• We’ve stopped automatically opening a new browser tab for every new page.

FaceBase Annual Meeting 2018

We also are happy to announce the next FaceBase Annual meeting is May 15th and 16th in Los Angeles. The first day will be open to the public and you can attend either onsite or virtually. Be on the look out for the public registration form.
