THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 2nd, 2023. Sequence composition based classifier for metagenomic sequences. It works by capturing signatures of each sequence based on the sequence composition. Each sequence is modeled as a walk in a de Bruijn graph with underlying Markov chain properties. ClaMS captures stationary parameters of the underlying Markov chain as well as structural parameters of the underlying de Bruijn graph to form this signature. In practice, for each sequence to binned, such a signature is computed and matched to similar signatures computed for the training sets. The best match that also qualifies the normalized distance cut-off wins. In the case that the best match does not qualify this cut-off, the sequence remains un-binned.

A flexible software platform for distributed processing, analysis, exchange and visualization of brain imaging data. The expected result is a middleware platform that will render the processing environment (hardware, operating systems, storage servers, etc...) transparent to a remote user. Interaction with a standard web browser allows application of complex algorithm pipelines to large datasets stored at remote locations using a mixture of network available resources such as small clusters, neuroimaging tools and databases as well as Compute Canada's High Performance Computing Centers (HPC). Though the focus of CBRAIN is providing tools for use by brain imaging researchers, the platform is generalizable to other imaging domains, such as radiology, surgical planning and heart imaging, with profound consequences for Canadian medical research. CBRAIN expanded its concept to include international partners in the US, Germany and Korea. As of December 2010, GBRAIN has made significant progress with the original three partners and has developed new partners in Singapore, China, India, and Latin America. CBRAIN is currently deployed on 6 Compute Canada HPC clusters, one German HPC cluster and 3 clusters local to McGill University Campus, totaling more than 80,000 potential CPU cores.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 24, 2013. BMDExpress is a Java application used to analyze dose-response data from microarray experiments. The program was designed to perform a stepwise analysis on microarray data that combines bench mark dose (BMD) calculations with gene ontology (GO) classification analysis. The combination provides dose estimates at which different cellular processes are altered at a defined increase in risk based on expression levels in the untreated controls. The fitting of the data to the statistical models (linear, 2 polynomial models, 3 polynomial, and power models) is performed using source code borrowed from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency''''s BMDS software. The MPPD model is a computational model that can be used for estimating human and rat airway particle dosimetry. The model is applicable to risk assessment, research, and education. The MPPD model calculates the deposition and clearance of monodisperse and polydisperse aerosols in the respiratory tracts of rats and human adults and children (deposition only) for particles ranging in size from ultrafine (0.01 m) to coarse (20 m). The models are based on single-path and multiple-path methods for tracking air flow and calculating aerosol deposition in the lung. The single-path method calculates deposition in a typical path per airway generation, while the multiple-path method calculates particle deposition in all airways of the lung and provides lobar-specific and airway-specific information. Within each airway, deposition is calculated using theoretically derived efficiencies for deposition by diffusion, sedimentation, and impaction within the airway or airway bifurcation. Filtration of aerosols by the head is determined using empirical efficiency functions. The MPPD model includes calculations of particle clearance in the lung following deposition. Eight tutorials are provided so that the user can learn to interact with the software.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 28,2025. The Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database (SPReD) initiative creates the infrastructure needed for the collection of a wide range of data related to stroke risk factors and to stroke recovery. It also promotes the analysis and management of large brain and vessel images. A major goal is to create a comprehensive electronic database Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database or SPReD and populate it with patient data, including demographic, biomarker, genetic and proteomic data and imaging data. SPReD will enable us to combine descriptions of our stroke patients from multiple projects that are geographically distributed. We will do this in a uniform fashion in order to enhance our ability to document rates of recovery; to study the effects of vascular risk factors and inflammatory biomarkers; and to use these data to improve their physical and cognitive recovery through innovative intervention programs. This comprehensive database will provide an integrated repository of data with which our researchers will investigate and test original ideas, ultimately leading to knowledge that can be applied clinically to benefit stroke survivors.
