AMAT is a Matlab-based, open source interface for searching fMRI coordinates together with a simple database of coordinates. The AMAT database is deliberately designed to be minimal. Effectively, the database reproduces the tables of XYZ coordinates which are common in fMRI papers. Each coordinate is associated with the anatomical label given by the authors of the original paper, a ag for Talaraich or MNI coordinates, a very brief description of the description of the functional task or contrast which activated this coordinate, and the PubMed ID of the published paper. The latter links directly to the abstract in PubMed and allows the user to retrieve the original publication. Anatomical information labeling a coordinate as a particular Brodmann area or functional region is optional, and is normally only included if the authors of the original paper included these labels. No other information is stored.

The Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology Project is developing an ontology for the phenotypic description of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases. The ontology can be used for integrative research in both biomedical and clinical research. Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDs) are Mendelian diseases, caused by defects or deletions of genes involved in the development, regulation and maintenance of the immune system. They usually affect newborns and toddlers, but can also manifest much later in life. Information about PIDs is often widely scattered across the research literature and a number of databases. PIDO is an attempt to develop both a machine- as well as a human-comprehensible representation of these diseases, starting with a phenotypic descriptions of disease.

PIDFinder is a tool for the exploration of the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. Apart from browsing the knowledge contained in the ontology, it can also be used for the identification of PIDs based on a set of observed Phenotypes. The PidFinder web application is a developing prototype application that allows non-bioinformaticians to quickly view and use the knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology. The application consists of a number of components: * The PIDFinder: allows the selection of a set of phenotypes and subsequently compares the set with the canonical set of phenotypes defined in the PID Ontology. The phenotypes, that can be selected are grouped by biomarker and are thus available in a number of different facets. Once phenotypes have been selected, the application compares them to canonical phenotypes associated with PIDs in the PID Ontology, by computing a semantic similarity measure. The similarity is determined using a Tanimoto Distance - the more closely related an observed phenotype is to a canonical ontology phenotype, the closer the calculated Tanimoto Distance is to 1 - with increasing dissimilarity, the Tanimoto Coefficient tends towards 0. * The Phenotype Explorer: a rudimentary browser for phenotypes currently contained in the PID Ontology. The browser allows the user to find phenotypes based on biomarker categories and provides some basic definitions (not all definitions are available at this stage) and disease association information. * A Heatmap comparing the phenotypic overlap of PIDs: In essence, the heatmap is a many-to-many comparison of the phenotypic overlap between all Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases contained in the PID Ontology. Again, overlap is calculated using a Tanimoto Distance. The heatmap is a matrix, plotting the Tanimoto coefficients for every PID/PID pair. Increased off-diagonal overlap between PIDs most likely indicates genes in the same pathway. * A Phenotype Frequency Visualization: The phenotype frequency visualization is a simple bar chart indicating how often a particular phenotype is associated with a Primary Immunodeficiency Disease in the Ontology. * A PID Expert map: All of the phenotypes and knowledge contained in the Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Ontology has been extracted from primary clinical or research literature. To construct the map, we have extracted the affiliations and locations of the authors of the literature sources and overlayed them on a map. The hope is that this will facilitate the identification of (local) experts on primary immunodeficiency diseases.

Tool for helping people identify and locate online repositories of research data. Users and bibliographers create and curate records that describe data repositories that users can search. * What repositories are appropriate for a researcher to submit his or her data to? * How do users find appropriate data repositories and discover datasets that meet their needs? * How can librarians help patrons locate and integrate data into their research or learning? Databib attempts to address these needs for the research community, including: * data users * data producers * publishers and professional societies * librarians * research funding agencies Are you familiar with a data repository that isn''t included in Databib? Please consider submitting a new record. You can suggest a repository for us to catalog by simply entering its title, URL, authority, and a subject for it... and we''ll do the rest!

Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot (WEGO) is a simple but useful tool for plotting Gene Ontology (GO) annotation results. Different from other commercial software for chart creating, WEGO is designed to deal with the directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure of GO to facilitate histogram creation of GO annotation results. WEGO has been widely used in many important biological research projects, such as the rice genome project and the silkworm genome project. It has become one of the useful tools for downstream gene annotation analysis, especially when performing comparative genomics tasks. Platform: Online tool

GOChase is a set of web-based utilities to detect and correct the errors in GO-based annotations. # GOChase-History resolves the whole modification history of GO IDs. # GOChase-Correct highlights merged GO IDs and redirects to the correct primary term into which the secondary ID was merged. For obsolete GO terms, the nearest non-discarded parent term is recommended by GOChase. This function may be used by GO browsers such as AmiGO and QuickGO to fix broken hyperlinks. # A whole database (such as LocusLink) as a flat file can be loaded into GOChase, reporting the annotation errors and GOChase corrections. # When one inputs a GO ID, GOChase will resolve all gene products annotated with the GO ID across all the major databases.
