The Hannon laboratory comprises a broad spectrum of programs in small RNA biology, mammalian genetics and genomics. We study RNAi and related pathways in a wide variety of organisms to extract common themes that define both the mechanisms by which small RNAs act and the biological processes which they impact. Currently, we focus on microRNAs, endogenous siRNAs and piRNAs and their roles in gene regulation, cancer biology, stem cell biology and in defense of the genome against transposons. In collaboration with Steve Elledge (Harvard) and Scott Lowe (CSHL), we develop genome-wide shRNA tools for RNAi-based genetics in mammalian cells, and we are now producing similar collections of artificial microRNAs for Arabidopsis with Detlef Weigel (MPI), Dick McCombie (CSHL) and Rob Martienssen (CSHL) as part of the 2010 project (see 2010.cshl.edu). Our genomic efforts include the application of RNAi-based genetic screens to cancer biology and stem cells. We also make heavy use of next generation sequencing methodologies for probing small RNA populations, in part as a member of the ENCODE consortium (with Tom Gingeras, CSHL). Finally, we develop (with Dick McCombie) and apply focal re-sequencing methods for identifying disease relevant mutations, for probing the epigenetic landscape and for the study of human evolution.

A comprehensive processing pipeline developed and used at University of North Carolina and University of Utah for brain MRIs. The processing pipeline includes image registration, filtering, segmentation and inhomogeneity correction. The tool is cross-platform and can be run within 3D Slicer or as a stand-alone program. The image segmentation algorithm is based on the EMS software developed by Koen van Leemput.

A software plugin for 3D Slicer that matches morphological signatures of medical images automatically. HAMMER is an acronym for Hierarchical Attribute Matching Mechanism for Elastic Registration (Dinggang Shen, Christos Davatzikos, HAMMER: Hierarchical Attribute Matching Mechanism for Elastic Registration, IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging, 21(11):1421-1439, Nov 2002) - an elastic registration algorithm for medical images, matching morphological signatures of images in a hierarchical multi-scale regime. White matter lesion (WML) segmentation is a novel multi-spectral WML segmentation protocol via incorporating information from T1-w, T2-w, PD-w and FLAIR MR brain images. (Zhiqiang Lao, Dinggang Shen, Dengfeng Liu, Abbas F Jawad, Elias R Melhem, Lenore J Launer, Nick R Bryan, Christos Davatzikos, Computer-Assisted Segmentation of White Matter Lesions in 3D MR images, Using Pattern Recognition, Academic Radiology, 15(3):300-313, March 2008).

A free, user-friendly software package that allows researchers to record and analyze hand movements traveling toward potential responses on the screen (via the x, y coordinates of the computer mouse). By looking at the dynamics of how participants' hand movements settle into a response alternative--and how they may be partially pulled toward other alternatives--researchers glean valuable information about real-time cognitive processing. It's like opening up a single reaction time into a continuous stream of rich cognitive output. MouseTracker has impressive temporal resolution, comparable to eye-tracking and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures. Experiments can incorporate images, letter strings, sounds, and videos. Once recorded, mouse trajectories can be visualized, averaged, and explored, and measures of attraction/curvature, complexity, velocity, and acceleration can be computed. Precise characterizations of mouse trajectories' temporal and spatial dynamics are available, and these can shed light on a variety of important empirical questions across psychology, cognitive science, and beyond.

A collection of software plug-ins developed for the automatic segmentation of magnetic resonance brain images. The tools include multiple published algorithms developed at Johns Hopkins University. The SPECTRE algorithm performs brain extraction. The TOADS algorithm generates a topology-preserving tissue classification into cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar structures. The CRUISE algorithm produces inner, central, and outer cortical surfaces suitable for computing thickness and other geometric measures. Tools are also included for performing gyral labeling, lesion segmentation, thickness computation, surface visualization, and surface file conversion. All tools are released as plug-ins for the MIPAV software package and were developed using the Java Image Science Toolkit (both available at NITRC: http://nitrc.org). They are therefore cross-platform and compatible with a wide variety of file formats.

A tool for automatically scheduling events for rapid-presentation event-related (RPER) fMRI experiments (the schedule is the order and timing of events). Events in RPER are presented closely enough in time that their hemodynamic responses will overlap. This requires that the onset times of the events be jittered in order to remove the overlap from the estimate of the hemodynamic response. RPER is highly resistant to habituation, expectation, and set because the subject does not know when the next stimulus will appear or which stimulus type it will be. RPER is also more efficient than fixed-interval event related (FIER) because more stimuli can be presented within a given scanning interval at the cost of assuming that the overlap in the hemodynamic responses will be linear. In SPM parlance, RPER is referred to as ''stochastic design''. This is a subproject of the Center for Functional Neuroimaging Techniques (http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cfnt/)

EPI-images of 25 participants gathered during rest as well as anonymized anatomical images of the same participants. The resting-state fMRI images were collected on several occasions: # the first resting-state scan in a scan session # 5-11 months after the first resting-state scan # about 30 (< 45) minutes after 2. Each scan occasion is released as a new version release of the resource. ---Caution: Participants here are part of the NewYork_a contribution to the 1000 Functional Connectomes Project. DO NOT combine datasets.

One of eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers nationwide providing comprehensive web-based genomics resources including a relational database and web application supporting data storage, annotation, analysis, and information exchange to support scientific research directed at viruses belonging to the Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Poxviridae, and Togaviridae families. These centers serve the scientific community and conduct basic and applied research on microorganisms selected from the NIH/NIAID Category A, B, and C priority pathogens that are regarded as possible bioterrorist threats or as emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases. The VBRC provides a variety of analytical and visualization tools to aid in the understanding of the available data, including tools for genome annotation, comparative analysis, whole genome alignments, and phylogenetic analysis. Each data release contains the complete genomic sequences for all viral pathogens and related strains that are available for species in the above-named families. In addition to sequence data, the VBRC provides a curation for each virus species, resulting in a searchable, comprehensive mini-review of gene function relating genotype to biological phenotype, with special emphasis on pathogenesis.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented July 23, 2015. Of note: most functions have been integrated in 1000 Functional Connectomes Project (www.nitrc.org/projects/fcon_1000). This package is not updated, thus please visit 1000 Functional Connectomes Project site and download relevant bash scripts. BASH Scripts for a resting-state functional MRI study. The functions include seed-based correlation analysis, amplitude analysis and independent component analysis. Note: this tool is just a plug-in for FSL, AFNI and FreeSurfer. Thus, you need have them before you use BASH4RfMRI.
