http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~csuros/quadgt/

Software package for calling single-nucleotide variants in four sequenced genomes comprising a normal-tumor pair and the two parents. Genotypes are inferred using a joint model of parental variant frequencies, de novo germline mutations, and somatic mutations. The model quantifies the descent-by-modification relationships between the unknown genotypes by using a set of parameters in a Bayesian inference setting. Note that you can use it on any subset of the four related genomes, including parent-offspring trios, and normal-tumor pairs without parental samples.

Software to estimate purity / ploidy, and from that compute absolute copy-number and mutation multiplicities. When DNA is extracted from an admixed population of cancer and normal cells, the information on absolute copy number per cancer cell is lost in the mixing. The purpose of ABSOLUTE is to re-extract these data from the mixed DNA population. This process begins by generation of segmented copy number data, which is input to the ABSOLUTE algorithm together with pre-computed models of recurrent cancer karyotypes and, optionally, allelic fraction values for somatic point mutations. The output of ABSOLUTE then provides re-extracted information on the absolute cellular copy number of local DNA segments and, for point mutations, the number of mutated alleles.

http://compbio.bccrc.ca/software/mutationseq/

A software suite using feature-based classifiers for somatic mutation prediction from paired tumour/normal next-generation sequencing data. mutationSeq has the advantages of integrating different features (e.g., base qualities, mapping qualities, strand bias, and tailed distance features), and validated somatic mutations to make predictions. Given paired normal/tumour bam files, mutationSeq will output the probability of each candidate site being somatic.

Data set of manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. Please see the MediaWiki for more information. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results.

Dataset from an investigation of biochemical evidence of myocardial strain, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte injury in 55 acute KD subjects (30 with paired convalescent samples), 54 febrile control (FC), and 50 healthy control (HC) children by measuring concentrations of cardiovascular biomarkers. NT-proBNP and sST2 were elevated in acute KD subjects and correlated with impaired myocardial relaxation. These findings, combined with elevated levels of cTnI, suggest that both cardiomyocyte stress and cell death are associated with myocardial inflammation in acute KD.

A database of brain neuroanatomic volumetric observations spanning various species, diagnoses, and structures for both individual and group results. A major thrust effort is to enable electronic access to the results that exist in the published literature. Currently, there is quite limited electronic or searchable methods for the data observations that are contained in publications. This effort will facilitate the dissemination of volumetric observations by making a more complete corpus of volumetric observations findable to the neuroscience researcher. This also enhances the ability to perform comparative and integrative studies, as well as metaanalysis. Extensions that permit pre-published, non-published and other representation are planned, again to facilitate comparative analyses. Design strategy: The principle organizing data structure is the "publication". Publications report on "groups" of subjects. These groups have "demographic" information as well as "volume" information for the group as a whole. Groups are comprised of "individuals", which also have demographic and volume information for each of the individuals. The finest-grained data structure is the "individual volume record" which contains a volume observation, the units for the observation, and a pointer to the demographic record for individual upon which the observation is derived. A collection of individual volumes can be grouped into a "group volume" observation; the group can be demographically characterized by the distribution of individual demographic observations for the members of the group.

http://www.loni.usc.edu/BIRN/Projects/Mouse/

Animal model data primarily focused on mice including high resolution MRI, light and electron microscopic data from normal and genetically modified mice. It also has atlases, and the Mouse BIRN Atlasing Toolkit (MBAT) which provides a 3D visual interface to spatially registered distributed brain data acquired across scales. The goal of the Mouse BIRN is to help scientists utilize model organism databases for analyzing experimental data. Mouse BIRN has ended. The next phase of this project is the Mouse Connectome Project (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mcp/). The Mouse BIRN testbeds initially focused on mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases. Mouse BIRN testbed partners provide multi-modal, multi-scale reference image data of the mouse brain as well as genetic and genomic information linking genotype and brain phenotype. Researchers across six groups are pooling and analyzing multi-scale structural and functional data and integrating it with genomic and gene expression data acquired from the mouse brain. These correlated multi-scale analyses of data are providing a comprehensive basis upon which to interpret signals from the whole brain relative to the tissue and cellular alterations characteristic of the modeled disorder. BIRN's infrastructure is providing the collaborative tools to enable researchers with unique expertise and knowledge of the mouse an opportunity to work together on research relevant to pre-clinical mouse models of neurological disease. The Mouse BIRN also maintains a collaborative Web Wiki, which contains announcements, an FAQ, and much more.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 31, 2016. The UMKC Neuroscience Brain Tissue Bank and Research Laboratory has been established to obtain, process, and distribute human brain tissue to qualified scientists and clinicians dedicated to neuroscience research. No other living organ approaches the human brain in complexity or capacity. Healthy, it astounds and inspires miracles. Diseased, it confounds and diminishes hope. The use of human brain tissue for research will provide insight into the anatomical and neurochemical aspects of diseased and non-diseased brains. While animal models are helpful and necessary in understanding disease, certain disorders can be more efficiently studied using human brain tissue. Also, modern research techniques are often best applied to human tissue. We also need samples of brain tissue that have not been affected by disease. They help us to compare a 'normal' brain with a diseased one. Also, we have a critical need for brain donations from relatives who have genetically inherited disorders. Tissue preparation consists of fresh quick-frozen tissue blocks or coronal slices (nitrogen vapor frozen; custom dissection of specific anatomic regions) or formalin-fixed coronal slices (custom dissection of specific anatomic regions).

A linear average model atlas produced by the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) project. A set of full- brain volumetric images from a normative population specifically for the purposes of generating a model were collected by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), UCLA, and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Research Imaging Center (RIC). 152 new subjects were scanned using T1, T2 and PD sequences using a specific protocol. These images were acquired at a higher resolution than the original average 305 data and exhibit improved contrast due predominately to advances in imaging technology. Each individual was linearly registered to the average 305 and a new model was formed. In total, three models were created at the MNI, the ICBM152_T1, ICBM152_T2 and ICBM152_PD from 152 normal subjects. This resulting model is now known as the ICBM152 (although the model itself has not been published). One advantage of this model is that it exhibits better contrast and better definition of the top of the brain and the bottom of the cerebellum due to the increased coverage during acquisition. The entirely automatic analysis pipeline of this data also included grey/white matter segmentation via spatial priors. The averaged results of these segmentations formed the first MNI parametric maps of grey and white matter. The maps were never made publicly available in isolation but have formed parts of other packages for some time including SPM, FSL AIR and as models of grey matter for EEG source location in VARETTA and BRAINWAVE. Again, as these models are an approximation of Talairach space, there are differences in varying areas, to continue our use of origin shift as an example, the ICBM models are approximately 152: +3.5mm in Z and +-co-ordinate -3.5mm and 2.0mm in Y as compared to the original Talairach origin. In addition to the standard analysis performed on the ICBM data, 64 of the subjects data were segmented using model based segmentation. 64 of the original 305 were manually outlined and a resulting parametric VOI atlas built. The native data from these acquisitions was 256x256 with 1mm slices. The final image resolution of this data was 181x217x181 with 1mm isotropic voxels. Refer to the ICBM152 NonLinear if you are fitting an individual to model and do not care about left/right comparisons. A short history of the various atlases that have been produced at the BIC (McConnell Brain Imaging Center, Montreal Neurological Institute) is provided.
