A project that observes the processes of adaptive evolution in nature, and tests evolutionary hypotheses, by studying populations of guppies on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Darwin thought that evolution by natural selection occurred very slowly, over hundreds if not thousands of years. Evolutionary biologists now know that evolutionary changes in species can happen very quickly, over a relatively few generations. The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Biological Research (FIBR) program, is funding a 5-year study by 13 biologists from colleges, universities, and research institutions throughout the United States and Canada, to study the relationship of adaptive evolution and environmental circumstances. The Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is an excellent species for these purposes because: * It matures rapidly (one generation = 3-4 months) * It inhabits different ecological environments that can be easily manipulated On Trinidad, guppies live in streams, or portions of streams, that can differ in the species of predators that the guppies have to contend with. Some streams are high-predation environments, others low-predation. Different predation environments are often right next to one another, separated by a waterfall (which neither guppies nor predators can cross). Guppies from high-predation environments experience much higher mortality rates than do guppies in low-predation environments. High mortality is associated with the following characteristics, all of which have a genetic basis: * Earlier maturity * Greater investment of resources in reproduction * More and smaller offspring. We have found that mortality rates can be manipulated by: * Transplanting guppies from high-predation localities into sites from which they and their predators had previously been excluded by natural waterfalls, thus lowering mortality rates; * Introducing predators into low-predation sites, thus increasing mortality rates. Such experiments have shown that species evolve as predicted by theory. We have also found that evolution by natural selection can be remarkably fast, on the order of four to seven orders of magnitude faster than had been inferred from the fossil record.

Non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant strains essential for basic biomedical research. Users may browse by strain, gene, phenotype, or human disease. Its primary objective is to establish and manage a unified repository for maintaining medically relevant mouse mutants and making them available to the scientific community. Therefore, EMMA archives mutant strains and distributes them to requesting researchers. EMMA also hosts courses in cryopreservation, to promote the use and dissemination of frozen embryos and spermatozoa. Dissemination of knowledge is further fostered by a dedicated resource database. Anybody who wants their mutant mouse strains cryopreserved may deposit strains with EMMA. However depositors must be aware that these strains become freely available to other researchers after being deposited.With more than 8400 mutant mouse strains and asmall but increasing number of rat mutant strains available, EMMA is the primary mouse repository in Europe and the third largest non-profit repository worldwide.

Curated database of experimentally supported data of RNA Splicing mutation and disease. The RNA Splicing mutations include cis-acting mutations that disrupt splicing and trans-acting mutations that affecting RNA-dependent functions that cause disease. Information such as EntrezGeneID, gene genomic sequence, mutation (nucleotide substitutions, deletions and insertions), mutation location within the gene, organism, detailed description of the splicing mutation and references are also given. Users are able to submit new entries to the database. This database integrating RNA splicing and disease associations would be helpful for understanding not only the RNA splicing but also its contribution to disease. In SpliceDisease database, they manually curated 2337 splicing mutation disease entries involving 303 genes and 370 diseases, which have been supported experimentally in 898 publications. The SpliceDisease database provides information including the change of the nucleotide in the sequence, the location of the mutation on the gene, the reference PubMed ID and detailed description for the relationship among gene mutations, splicing defects and diseases. They standardized the names of the diseases and genes and provided links for these genes to NCBI and UCSC genome browser for further annotation and genomic sequences. For the location of the mutation, they give direct links of the entry to the respective position/region in the genome browser.

A publicly accessible database containing data on Affymetrix DNA microarray experiments, and Serial Analysis of Gene Expression, mostly on human and mouse stem cell samples and their derivatives to facilitate the discovery of gene functions relevant to stem cell control and differentiation. It has grown in both size and scope into a system with analysis tools that examine either the whole database at once, or slices of data, based on tissue type, cell type or gene of interest. There is currently more than 210 stem cell samples in 60 different experiments, with more being added regularly. The samples were originated by researchers of the Stem Cell Network and processed at the Core Facility of Stemcore Laboratories under the management of Ms. Pearl Campbell in the frame of the Stem Cell Genomics Project. Periodically, new expression data is submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository at the National Center for Biotechnological Information, in order to allow researchers to compare the data deposited in StemBase to a large amount of gene expression data sets. StemBase is different from GEO in both focus and scope. StemBase is concerned exclusively with stem cell related data. we are focused in Stem Cell research. We have made a significant effort to ensure the quality and consistency of the data included. This allows us to offer more specialized analysis tools related to Stem Cell data. GEO is intended as a large scale public archive. Deposition in a public repository such as GEO is required by most important scientific journals and it is advantageous for a further diffusion of the data since GEO is more broadly used than StemBase.

A package for neuroinformatics and neuroimaging analysis mostly programmed in Matlab with a few additional programs in Python and Perl. It allows coordinate-based meta-analysis and visualization, neuroimaging analysis of voxel or regional data - not the original data but rather the summary images (e.g., statistical parametric images) and location data in stereotactic space. Among the algorithms implemented are kernel density estimation (for coordinate-based meta-analysis), independent component analysis, non-negative matrix factorization, k-means clustering, singular value decomposition, partial correlation analysis with permutation testing and partial canonical correlation analysis. Visualization of coordinate, surfaces and volumes are possible in 2D and 3D. Generation of HTML for results are possible and algorithms can be accessed from the command line or via a flexible graphical interface. With the Brede Toolbox comes the Brede Database with a small coordinate database from published neuroimaging studies, and ontologies for, e.g., brain function and brain regions.

Clearinghouse and exchange portal for gene variant (mutation) data produced by diagnostics laboratories, offering users a portal through which to announce, discover and acquire a comprehensive listing of observed neutral and disease-causing gene variants in patients and unaffected individuals. Cafe Variome is not a ''''database'''' for the hosting/display/release of data, but a shop window for finding data. As such, it holds only core info for each record, and uses this merely to enable holistic searching across resources. Diagnostics laboratories routinely assess DNA samples from patients with various inherited disorders, and so produce a great wealth of data on the genetic basis of disease. Unfortunately, those data are not usually shared with others. To address this gross deficiency, a novel system has been developed that aims to facilitate the automated transfer of diagnostic laboratory data to the wider community, via an internet based Cafe for routinely exchanging genetic variation data. The flow of research data concerning the genetic basis of health and disease is critical to understanding and developing treatments for a range of genetic diseases. Overall, the project aims to lower the barriers and provide incentives for a willing community to share data, and thereby facilitate the broader exploitation of diagnostic laboratory data. Cafe Variome aims to address the above data flow problems by: # Minimizing the effort required to publish variant data # Ensuring attribution for data creators working in diagnostic laboratories Key elements of the project strategy are: * Data publication will be automated by endowing standard analysis tools used by laboratories with an online data submission function. Submissions will be received by a central Internet depot, which will serve as a place where published datasets are advertised, and subsequently discovered by diverse 3rd parties. * Each dataset will be unambiguously linked with the data submitter''''s identity, and systems devised to facilitate citation of published variant datasets so they can be cited in the literature. Data creators will thus be credited for their contributions. Data submitters can use Cafe Variome to simply announce or publicize their data to the world. To enable this, only core, non-identifiable data is submitted to the central repository, enabling users to search and discover records of interest in the source repository. The data are not automatically handed on to the user (unless intended by the submitters). Hence, the concept is used to deal with the challenge of maximally sharing data whilst fully respecting ethico-legal considerations.
