The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation currently makes grants in five core program areas: * Higher Education and Scholarship * Scholarly Communications and Information Technology * Art History, Conservation, and Museums * Performing Arts * Conservation and the Environment Within each of its core programs, the Foundation concentrates most of its grantmaking in a few areas. Institutions and programs receiving support are often leaders in fields of Foundation activity, but they may also be promising newcomers, or in a position to demonstrate new ways of overcoming obstacles to achieve program goals. Our grantmaking philosophy is to build, strengthen and sustain institutions and their core capacities, rather than be a source for narrowly defined projects. As such, we develop thoughtful, long-term collaborations with grant recipients and invest sufficient funds for an extended period to accomplish the purpose at hand and achieve meaningful results.

SIMILE, a joint project conducted by the MIT Libraries and MIT CSAIL, was focused on developing robust, open source tools that empower users to access, manage, visualize and reuse digital assets. SIMILE seeks to enhance interoperability among digital assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, metadata, and services. A key challenge is that the collections which must inter-operate are often distributed across individual, community, and institutional stores. We seek to be able to provide end-user services by drawing upon the assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, and metadata held in such stores. SIMILE will leverage and extend DSpace, enhancing its support for arbitrary schemata and metadata, primarily though the application of RDF and semantic web techniques. The project also aims to implement a digital asset dissemination architecture based upon web standards. The dissemination architecture will provide a mechanism to add useful views to a particular digital artifact (i.e. asset, schema, or metadata instance), and bind those views to consuming services. To guide the SIMILE effort we will focus on well-defined, real-world use cases in the libraries domain. Since parallel work is underway to deploy DSpace at a number of leading research libraries, we hope that such an approach will lead to a powerful deployment channel through which the utility and readiness of semantic web tools and techniques can be compellingly demonstrated in a visible and global community. The SIMILE Project and its members are fully committed to the open source principles of software distribution and open development and for this reason, it releases the created intellectual property (both software and reports) under a BSD-style license. The SIMILE Project Team Members gladly welcome community efforts.

A website containing the complete sequenced genome of the medaka fish. It presents a high-quality draft genome sequence of a small egg-laying freshwater teleost, medaka (Oryzias latipes). Medaka is native to East Asia and an excellent model system for a wide range of biology, including ecotoxicology, carcinogenesis, sex determination4, 5, 6 and developmental genetics7. In the assembled medaka genome (700 megabases), which is less than half of the zebrafish genome, we predicted 20,141 genes, including approx2,900 new genes, using 5’-end serial analysis of gene expression tag information. We found single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at an average rate of 3.42% between the two inbred strains derived from two regional populations; this is the highest SNP rate seen in any vertebrate species. Analyses based on the dense SNP information show a strict genetic separation of 4 million years (Myr) between the two populations, and suggest that differential selective pressures acted on specific gene categories. Four-way comparisons with the human, pufferfish (Tetraodon), zebrafish and medaka genomes revealed that eight major interchromosomal rearrangements took place in a remarkably short period of approx 50 Myr after the whole-genome duplication event in the teleost ancestor and afterwards, intriguingly, the medaka genome preserved its ancestral karyotype for more than 300 Myr.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. So far there is only limited knowledge about possible genetic influences in acute spinal cord injuries (SCI). In this project DNA is collected prospectively from persons with SCI admitted to the acute SCI rehabilitation unit of the Karolinska University Hospital. Trauma is the cause of injury in a majority of the patients. Other causes of injury are spinal abscesses, tumors or spinal infarctions. The aim of the project is to create a sufficiently large DNA biobank with samples from 200-400 individuals from clinically well characterized patients to allow for studies of association between candidate genes and clinical outcome parameters.
