SSBD:database

Introduction

Systems Science of Biological Dynamics database (SSBD:database) is an added-value database for biological dynamics. It provides a rich set of open resources for analyzing quantitative data and microscopy images of biological objects, such as single-molecule, cell, tissue, individual, etc., and software tools for analysis. Quantitative biological data and microscopy images are collected from a variety of species, sources, and methods. These include data obtained from both experiments and computational simulations.

Find the dataset from the search box above, or see the dataset list on the Resources.

See Citation Policies（PDF) for citation instructions.

SSBD:database started operation in 2013, under the life science database integration promotion project of the Japan Science and Technology (JST), National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC). Currently, it is funded by RIKEN, JST, and Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan (MEXT).

Share your data in SSBD:database

SSBD:database is an added-value database (Ellenberg, J. et al. (2018) Nat Methods) for quantitative data and microscopy images of biological dynamics with expert curation; therefore, our curators will offer to register your data in SSBD database. If you have any data of biological dynamics that you would like to deposit, please consider using SSBD:repository, or contact us via e-mail.

See image_submission_guidelines_en (PDF) for image submission,
and also see quantitative_data_submission_guidelines_en (PDF) for quantitative data submission.

  [Press Release] Launch of “NeuroGT Database”, a brain atlas of neurogenic tagging CreER mouse drivers
  Drs. Yukako Tohsato and Hiroya Itoga in our SSBD team, together with Prof. Tatsumi Hirata (NIG) and colleagues, developed the “NeuroGT database,” which contains whole-brain image data of tagged neurons based on time of neurogenesis. Through NeuroGT, researchers can find suitable neurogenic tagging driver lines for their research. https://so.riken.jp/2021/05/26/press-release-launch-of-neurogt-database-a-brain-atlas-of-neurogenic-tagging-creer-mouse-drivers/
