Software for simple linear inequalities based Mate-Pair reads filtering and scaffolding. A set of simple linear inequalities (SLIQ) derived from the geometry of contigs on the line that can be used to predict the relative positions and orientations of contigs from individual mate pair reads and thus produce a contig digraph. The SLIQ inequalities can also filter out unreliable mate pairs and can be used as a pre-processing step for any scaffolding algorithm. This tool filters mate pairs and then produces a Directed Contig Graph (contig diGraph). Also provided is a Naive scaffolder that can then produce scaffolds out of the contig diGraph.

The Center for Children''s Environmental Health and Disease Prevention is a multi-disciplinary collaborative research organization established to examine how toxic chemicals may influence the development of autism in children. The Center''s goal is to contribute knowledge about autism that will lead to new strategies for the prevention and treatment of this mysterious condition. Parents and health professionals have raised concerns about how environmental factors such as pesticides, a variety of chemicals, or even some ingredients included in vaccines may effect the development of the disorder. We are the first center to examine the roles of a wide range of toxic chemicals, genetic predisposition, and the interplay between these two in altering brain development during early life and leading to abnormal social behavior in children. Scientists in the CCEH study the effects of the environment on children''s health, with a particular focus on autism. Researchers come from all fields including molecular biology, medicine, nutrition, psychology, animal behavior, and genetics. The Center''s research is guided by an Advisory Board with representatives including parents, activists, non-profits, government agencies, and concerned citizens. This Center is one of several children''s centers throughout the nation funded by the U.S. EPA and NIEHS.

A modularity-based clustering software for Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) picking of 16S rRNA sequences. The algorithm does not require a predetermined cut-off level, and our simulation studies suggest that it is superior to existing methods that require specified distance or variance levels to define OTUs.

As an umbrella organization for medical research networks, the TMF is responsible for improving the organization and infrastructure of medical research in networked structures. It supports researchers at the various locations in jointly identifying and solving problems of an organizational, legal and technical nature that are often not associated with the particular clinical problem or research focus. The network not only focuses on legal and ethical frameworks for networked medical research but also on the development of IT infrastructure, quality management activities for science-initiated trials and questions on the intermeshing of research and patient care. Under the umbrella organization of the TMF, expert opinions, studies, concepts, requirements specifications, services and tools are created. The products of the cooperation within the TMF are available to the research community. The aims of joint work in the TMF are: * Improvement of medical research in terms of quality, organization and cooperation * Solution of questions spanning networked medical research, e.g. on the collection, processing and exchange of research data * Clarification of the legal and ethical foundations for performing medical research * Issues of quality assurance and quality management * Development and extension of efficient IT infrastructures and their implementation in cross-institutional networked structures * Realization of cross-location solutions * Contributions to sustainable and efficient health research by means of the improved transfer of research findings to patient care

Tennessee Donor Services (TDS) is a nonprofit, independent organization authorized by the Federal Government to accept anatomical gifts for transplantation and research. Its mission is to support families in our communities who have sustained the loss of a loved one by providing an opportunity for organ, eye and tissue donation and by facilitating the recovery and transplantation of these gifts to help others in need. In our area (TN & VA), over 4,600 people now wait for an organ transplant, (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, intestine or pancreas). Annually, our service area has approximately 300 people who donate one or more organs upon death and over 900 who donate corneas and/or tissues annually. The need for transplants far exceeds the number of donations in the area covered by TDS, and across the nation. Currently, in the United States, more than 108,000 people wait for an organ transplant. One third of them will die waiting for a transplant. TDS'' designated service area includes 84 counties in Tennessee, 10 counties in Virginia, 3 counties in Georgia and 1 county in Kentucky.

German biobank registry containing names, addresses of the contact persons, web links and basic information of the biobanks. The Registry is available in German and English and is organized by content and by region. The goal is to create public awareness and understanding of the objectives and functions of biobanks, and to arrange collaborations between scientists. The registry cooperates with the European initiative Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI). Currently the first phase is implemented as an open access registry. A further expansion is planned with the possibility of online data entry and correction. The German Biobank Registry should help scientists and researchers, but also the interested public as an information gateway to serve. The functions of the registry are: * providing a publicly available registry of the medically relevant biobanks in Germany * improving the national and international visibility of German biobanks; * provision of partners for cooperation; * networking among biobanks; * promoting the exchange of information and of samples between research groups and institutions (hospitals, research institutes and pharmaceutical and biotech companies) operating biobanks; * improved use of existing resources; * promotion of transparency and understanding of the objectives and functions of biobanks in the general public; * Establishing a community to develop common solutions for legal and regulatory issues and thus avoiding redundant expenses for the individual researcher; * provide a planning basis for selective and efficient investments in new biobanks and the expansion of the existing infrastructure. The TMF is cooperating with the European BBMRI project to improve the biobank infrastructure in Europe. Data collection for the national registry is consistent with the survey of BBMRI project. You have to sample the data of your biobank only once and your biobank will be visible nationally and internationally. On the last page of the questionnaire you can give your consent for the use and publication of data for both projects (TMF and BBMRI) specifically. If you participate in the survey that has been harmonized for use throughout Europe by the BBMRI your biobank will be presented to the scientific community, potential partners for cooperations, funding organizations and sponsors. Furthermore, the survey provides an overview of the existing biobank infrastructure in Germany, and by this supports plans to ensure the sustainability and international competitiveness of German biobanks and the necessity of further financial support.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on December 17, 2021. Database to store, annotate, view, analyze and share microarray data. It provides registered users access to their own data, provides users access to public data, and tools with which to analyze those data, to any public user anywhere in the world. The GenePattern software package has been incorporated directly into SMD, providing access to many new analysis tools, as well as a plug-in architecture that allows users to directly integrate and share additional tools through SMD. This extension is available with the SMD source code that is fully and freely available to others under an Open Source license, enabling other groups to create a local installation of SMD with an enriched data analysis capability. SMD search options allow the user to Search By Experiments, Search By Datasets, or Search By Gene Names. Web services are provided using common standards, such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). This enables both local and remote researchers to connect to an installation of the database and retrieve data using pre-defined methods, without needing to resort to use of a web browser.
