Accepts and provides access to biogeographic data collected throughout the global oceans. The datasets are integrated so you can search them all seamlessly by species name, higher taxonomic level, geographic area, depth, and time; and then map and find environmental data related to the locations. Created by the Census of Marine Life, OBIS is now part of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, under its International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) programme

Program that develops materials and methods to improve measurements of autoantibodies that are predictive of type 1 diabetes. These are the most sensitive and meaningful measures for predicting this disease. Historically, autoantibody measures have been variable among laboratories; therefore, this program, in collaboration with the Immunology of Diabetes Society, was established. The goals of DASP are to improve laboratory methods, evaluate laboratory performance, support the development of sensitive and specific measurement technologies, and develop reference methods. Currently, 48 key laboratories from 19 countries participate in DASP.

http://bric.unc.edu/ideagroup/free-softwares/ABSORB/

This software package implements an algorithm for effective groupwise registration. The required input is a set of 3D MR intensity images (in Analyze format with paired .hdr and .img files) with a text file (.txt) listing all header file (.hdr) names. The output is the set of registered images together with the corresponding dense deformation fields. This software has been tested on Windows XP (32-bit) and Linux (64-bit, kernel version 2.6.18-194.el5). The images should be pre-processed before applying ABSORB: * All brain MR images used as inputs to ABSORB should be in the same situation (e.g., skull-stripped or not, cerebellum removed or not, etc.). * The input images should be in Analyze format with paired header and image files. This software was developed in IDEA group in UNC-Chapel Hill.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Software to support registering brain images to the stereotaxic coordinate system of a brain atlas. It was specifically designed to work with the large scale brain mosaics. When data are uploaded to the CCDB, users may launch Jibber, a custom tool for defining correspondence points between the image and an atlas overlay. Jibber automatically downsamples the data, so that users can define the warping and scaling parameters with good interactive performance on the smaller copy. Once the warping transformation is computed, the original image and the transformation matrix are sent to a cluster of computers for warping. The current version of Jetsam is running on a 30 Sun V20 nodes and the execution time is roughly about 20 minutes per GB. The warped images are then automatically registered with an image web server that supports spatial queries based on stereotaxic coordinates. These servers generate optimized downsampled images, which can be displayed by standard online clients regardless of the size of the original image.

Catalog of internet resources relating to biological model organisms, and is part of the Biosciences area of the Virtual Library project. The main Model Organisms Library discussed in this website are: * E. coli (bacterium) * Yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and other species) * Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) * Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) * Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) Many aspects of biology are similar in most or all organisms, but it is frequently much easier to study particular aspects in particular organisms - for instance, genetics is easier in small organisms that breed quickly, and very difficult in humans! The most popular model organisms have strong advantages for experimental research, and become even more useful when other scientists have already worked on them, discovering techniques, genes and other useful information.

This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction.

http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/myrna/index.shtml

A cloud computing tool for calculating differential gene expression in large RNA-seq datasets. It uses Bowtie for short read alignment and R/Bioconductor for interval calculations, normalization, and statistical testing. These tools are combined in an automatic, parallel pipeline that runs in the cloud (Elastic MapReduce in this case) on a local Hadoop cluster, or on a single computer, exploiting multiple computers and CPUs wherever possible.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. A command line program in Unix to convert images to a variety of formats (PNG, TIFF, JPEG, PPM..etc). It is uniquely different from other programs such as Adobe Photoshop or ImageMagick because it is designed for dealing with the high-resolution images with file sizes of several gigabytes. Image Converter does not require any additional RAM or virtual memory to run. Also, run-time is relatively fast for high resolution data.

Composed of many projects, including the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS) and The Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS), this research center seeks to identify genetic and environmental influences on development and psychological traits. Both projects are longitudinal research studies including twins, siblings, and parents. Over 9800 individuals have contributed to these exciting projects! By studying twins and siblings and their families, we can estimate how genes and environment interact to influence character, strengths, vulnerabilities and values. Participants in the MTFS include families with same-sex identical or fraternal twins who were born in Minnesota. The SIBS study is comprised of adoptive and biological siblings and their parents. Most participants partake in day-long visits to the MCTFR, and due to the longitudinal nature of our projects, they return every 3-4 years for follow-up visits.
