Building a Robust Research Toolkit
Sharing information about research tools is critical to help the neurofibromatosis (NF) research community discover tools available to enable and support their research. The NF Research Tools Database aims to support the development of a robust research toolkit and lower the barrier of entry to neurofibromatosis ( NF ) research. The database includes information on NF-associated animal models, cell lines, antibodies, and genetic reagents and ; details on tool characteristics and sourcing, ; as well as observational and experimental data.We allow .
Information available in the database has been generously contributed by the research community, as well as aggregated from publicly-available information across several research resource catalogs. Community contributions are encouraged at both the pre-publication and published stages, and may be annotated to indicate various stages of tool development and characterization. Contributors may provide details on tool availability, including any MTA requirements, instructions, and contact information to acquire a particular research tool.

Please note:Contributed information on research tools and associated observations will be made publicly available in the NF Research Tools Database. Contributions to the database are welcome at all stages of tool development and characterization. You are encouraged to speak with your institutional technology transfer office prior to sharing any proprietary information to confirm any restrictions on how and when information related to a particular tool may be shared publicly. Non-public information should not be submitted to the NF Research Tools Database without permission of the tool developer. |
The database currently supports contributions of information about any animal models, cell lines, antibodies, genetic reagents, and biobanks that are related to the study of neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, or schwannomatosis. Information has been generously contributed by the research community and has also been aggregated from several research resource catalogs. If you are interested in contributing a research tool to the database, please visit How to Contribute a Tool.
