THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 27,2023. A controlled terminology of resources, which is used to improve the sensitivity and specificity of web searches. It includes ''resource_type'', ''area of research'', and ''activity''. It is under development by a number of NIH-funded researchers who have a combined interest in classification of biomedical resources. The biositemaps site is no longer available but the biomedical resource ontology is still available via bioportal Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO).

The Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA) is the federally-designated organ procurement organization for the State of Louisiana. The agency focuses on educating the medical community and the general public about organ and tissue donation issues, working with families through the donation process, recovering donated organs and tissue, and placing the organs and tissue for transplant. Our mission is to save and enhance lives through organ and tissue donation. We envision a world in which no one suffers due to a lack of donor organs or tissues. LOPA has its main office in Metairie, with regional offices in Lafayette, and Shreveport. Additionally, LOPA has representatives in Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Lake Charles, and Monroe.

The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation is dedicated to funding basic science research to find answers that will lead to the prevention, clinical treatment programs and a potential cure for Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) Spectrum Disease. The decision to create our Foundation came from a personal family crisis. Our daughter was officially diagnosed with NMO in June 2008. Since that time, we have met with many clinicians and researchers in order to understand what this means for our beautiful daughter and our family. Additionally, we have gathered and read every piece of information and NMO research article that is available on the Web. We are now beginning to understand that NMO is not only considered an orphan disease, but that very little research is available. We met with the All Greater Good Foundation in early July 2008 when it became clear that there is little-to-no funding available to research this rare and often misunderstood disease. We joined hands with the All Greater Good Foundation to immediately begin our work, and thus, The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation was born. The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation is dedicated to funding biomedical research in the search to understand the pathophysiology and biochemistry of NMO Spectrum Disease. It is our greatest hope that together we will reverse the effects of NMO and eventually cure this disease.

MindSpec is a nonprofit organization that utilizes innovative bioinformatics strategies to accelerate research on common neurodevelopmental disorders. With our research we hope to foster discovery and development of treatments that alleviate the symptoms of affected individuals. Our core mission at MindSpec is to advance research on neurodevelopmental conditions. Founded in 2006, MindSpec is an independent, non-profit research organization established to facilitate the discovery of a cure for autism. Although the initial focus was autism, we have gradually expanded our scope to other neurological disorders. We develop bioinformatics strategies using current information technology platforms to build disease specific databases. At MindSpec we place a strong emphasis on translational research, that is, closing the gap between basic science discoveries and practical treatments with the potential of benefiting people who have autism. Goals: * Build an integrated, up-to-date, relevant, searchable resource on autism, AutDB. * Build a community of scientists, practitioners, educators, policymakers and people affected by autism to share and disseminate knowledge of autism. * Identify gaps in autism research around the world. * Identify priority areas in autism research based on real-world needs. * Build an autism dictionary and digital information library. * Address cultural differences in treatments for autism, a social disease. * Build knowledge about autism for immediate use.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented October 13, 2014. The resource has moved to the NIDDKInformation Network (dkNET) project. Contact them at info_at_dknet.org with any questions. Database of large pools of data relevant to the mission of NIDDKwith the goal of developing a community-based network for integration across disciplines to include the larger DKuniverse of diseases, investigators, and potential users. The focus is on greater use of this data with the objective of adding value by breaking down barriers between sites to facilitate linking of different datasets. To date (2013/06/10), a total of 1,195 resources have been associated with one or more genes. Of 11,580 total genes associated with resources, the ten most represented are associated with 359 distinct resources. The main method by which they currently interconnect resources between the providers is via EntrezGene identifiers. A total of 780 unique genes provide the connectivity between 3,159 resource pairs across consortia. To further increase interconnectivity, the groups have been further annotating their data with additional gene identifiers, publications, and ontology terms from selected Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO).

An ontology for describing the nature of reference citations in scientific research articles and other scholarly works, both to other such publications and to Web information resources, and for publishing these descriptions on the Semantic Web. Citation are described in terms of the factual and rhetorical relationships between citing publication and cited publication, the in-text and global citation frequencies of each cited work, and the nature of the cited work itself, including its publication and peer review status. CiTO is useful both for the annotation of bibliographic reference lists and for the visualization of citation networks. CiTO is written in the Web Ontology Language OWL, uses the namespace http://purl.org/net/cito/, and is available from http://purl.org/net/cito/. This site uses content negotiation to deliver to the user an OWLDoc Web version of the ontology if accessed via a Web browser, or the OWL ontology itself if accessed from an ontology management tool such as Protege 4 (http://protege.stanford.edu/). Collaborative work is under way to harmonize CiTO with other ontologies describing bibliographies and the rhetorical structure of scientific discourse.

This is a wiki on diagnostic radiology. Major topics include General Types of Radiology, Imaging Modalities, Radiography, CT scanning, Sonography, MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Nuclear medicine, Normal Radiological Anatomy, Imaging of Specific Anatomic Regions, Diagnosis of Specific Anatomic Regions, Imaging in Pediatric Radiology, and External resources. Radiology is the branch of medical science dealing with medical imaging. It may use x-ray machines or other such radiation devices. It also uses techniques that do not involve radiation, such as MRI and ultrasound. The medical information provided on Wikibooks is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional (for instance, a qualified doctor/physician, nurse, pharmacist/chemist, and so on). Wikibooks is not a doctor.

Central repository for collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate and consistent annotation. In addition to capturing core data mandatory for each UniProtKB entry (mainly, the amino acid sequence, protein name or description, taxonomic data and citation information), as much annotation information as possible is added. This includes widely accepted biological ontologies, classifications and cross-references, and experimental and computational data. The UniProt Knowledgebase consists of two sections, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (reviewed) is a high quality manually annotated and non-redundant protein sequence database which brings together experimental results, computed features, and scientific conclusions. UniProtKB/TrEMBL (unreviewed) contains protein sequences associated with computationally generated annotation and large-scale functional characterization that await full manual annotation. Users may browse by taxonomy, keyword, gene ontology, enzyme class or pathway.
