Upcoming
The CCDB is under active development. Several enhancements
to the database and related tools are planned in the near
future. Efforts are underway to create more advanced query
and data input forms that will maximize the benefits offered
by the CCDB's rich data model. A feature that outputs
data in XML format will also be available. Regular updates will be posted here.

What Is the Cell Centered Database?
The Cell Centered Database (CCDB), launched in 2002 as
one of the first Internet databases for cellular imaging
data, makes 3D microscopic imaging data available to the
structural biology and neuroscience communities. This
database houses structural and protein distribution information
derived from confocal, multiphoton, and electron microscopy,
including correlated microscopy. [more]
What Kind of Data Is Stored in
the CCDB?
The CCDB was designed to store and manage cell level information from
tissue, cultured cells, and subcellular fractions, regardless
of the type of tissue being studied. The CCDB models the
entire process of reconstruction, from specimen preparation
to segmentation and analysis. [View
schema] A volume reconstruction is stored along with
pointers to all of the raw images and the processing details
required to reconstruct the volume from the raw data.
Each object segmented from the 3D volume is stored as
a separate object indexed to the parent reconstruction.

Who Created
the CCDB and Why?
The National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research
(NCMIR)
created the CCDB in March 2002 to accommodate high-resolution
3D light and electron microscopic reconstructions.The
CCDB also is one of a series of linked and federated databases
across multiple biological scales as part of the Biomedical
Informatics Research Network (BIRN) project, a National
Institutes of Health (NIH) initiative that uses emerging
cyberinfrastructure, such as high-speed networks, distributed
high-performance computing, and software and data integration
capabilities, to foster large-scale biomedical science
collaborations. [more] |
