An on-line database and query system based on Administration-on-Aging (AoA)-related data files and surveys, and includes population characteristics from the Census Bureau for comparison purposes. Four options or paths through AGID were designed to provide different levels of focus and aggregation of the data from individual data elements within Data-at-a-Glance, to State-level summaries in State Profiles, to detailed, multi-year tables in Custom Tables, and finally, to full database access within Data Files.

The department of Neuroscience was founded in 2001, resulting from a merger between the Physiology and Anatomy department. In 2008, the BNT department joined forces. At present we consist of about 150 people. Our research is dedicated to Plasticity and Dynamics of Sensori-Motor Systems, which we investigate at the physiological, anatomical end molecular level in 18 different research groups. We have teaching responsibilities within the whole bachelor's phase of the medical curriculum at the Erasmus MC, teaching both basic anatomy and physiology, as well as neuroscience. The department hosts its own Master of Neuroscience program. The department of Neuroscience is embedded in the ONWAR, Helmholtz, and MGC research school

Neuroscience was implemented as a new interdisciplinary major in 1999, replacing the Psychobiology Program and providing a base of experiences in biology, chemistry and psychology. Our students benefit from being able to work in small classes and to experience investigative lab experiences even in their introductory courses. Wellesley's neuroscience majors graduate with a liberal arts background coupled with sufficient concentration in this specialized field to be competitive among students coming from exclusively research-oriented institutions. The best proofs of the success of this approach are its products: * 60% of our graduates proceed to medical school; * 15% of our graduates continue on with graduate work in neuroscience, psychology, or neuropsychology; * 10% of our graduates pursue careers that intersect with neuroscience - for example, patent law or work in the biotech industry. Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of neurons and how they are assembled to produce behaviors. This topic uses a multidisciplinary approach that extends from the molecular, through the cellular, and to the behavioral level.

A tool set for pathway-based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.

Freely available corpus of manually annotated brain region mentions created to facilitate text mining of neuroscience literature. The corpus contains 1,377 abstracts with 18,242 brain region annotations. Interannotator agreement was evaluated for a subset of the documents, and was 90.7% and 96.7% for strict and lenient matching respectively. We observed a large vocabulary of over 6,000 unique brain region terms and 17,000 words. For automatic extraction of brain region mentions we evaluated simple dictionary methods and complex natural language processing techniques. The dictionary methods based on neuroanatomical lexicons recalled 36% of the mentions with 57% precision. The best performance was achieved using a conditional random field (CRF) with a rich feature set. Features were based on morphological, lexical, syntactic and contextual information. The CRF recalled 76% of mentions at 81% precision, by counting partial matches recall and precision increase to 86% and 92% respectively. We suspect a large amount of error is due to coordinating conjunctions, previously unseen words and brain regions of less commonly studied organisms. We found context windows, lemmatization and abbreviation expansion to be the most informative techniques. We encourage you to test new methods and applications of the dataset. Please contact us if you do, we would like to hear about and link to your work. The abstracts are from PubMed/Medline, specifically The Journal of Comparative Neurology.

FunSimMat is a comprehensive resource of semantic and functional similarity values. It allows ranking disease candidate proteins for OMIM diseases and searching for functional similarity values for proteins (extracted from UniProt), and protein families (Pfam, SMART). FunSimMat provides several different semantic and functional similarity measures for each protein pair using the Gene Ontology annotation from UniProtKB and the Gene Ontology Annotation project at EBI (GOA). There are several search options available: Disease candidate prioritization: * Rank candidate proteins using any OMIM disease entry * Compare a list of proteins to any OMIM disease entry * Compare all human proteins to any OMIM disease entry Functional similarity: * Compare one protein / protein family to a list of proteins / protein families * Compare a list of GO terms to a list of proteins / protein families Semantic similarity: * For a list of GO terms, FunSimMat performs an all-against-all comparison and displays the semantic similarity values. FunSimMat provides an XML-RPC interface for performing automatic queries and processing of the results as well as a RestLike Interface. Platform: Online tool

The Rodent Brain WorkBench is the portal to atlases, databases and tools developed by the Neural Systems and Graphics Computing Laboratory (NeSys) at the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN), University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway. The Rodent Brain WorkBench presents a collection of brain mapping and atlasing oriented database applications and tools. The main category of available data is high resolution mosaic images covering complete histological sections through the rat and mouse brain. A highly structured relational database system for archiving, retrieving, viewing, and analysing microscopy and imaging data, aiming at presentation in standardized brain atlas space, is used to present a series of web applications for individual research projects. * Brain Connectivity * Atlases of Mouse Brain Promoter Gene Expression * General Brain Atlas and Navigation Systems * Downloadable tools for 3-DVisualization Open Access: * Atlas 3D * Cerebro-Cerebellar I * Cerebro-Cerebellar II * Neurotransporter Atlas * Rat Hippocampus * Tet-Off Atlas I (PrP) * Tet-Off Atlas II (PrP/CamKII) * Whole Brain Connectivity Atlas The data presented have been produced in collaboration with a large number of laboratories in Europe and the United States.

Database for scientists interested in fungal genomics. Multiple species are included, and the database provides information on DNA C-values and genomic size. It also gives information derived from electrophoresis experiments and genome sequencing projects. The database accepts data submissions. We appreciate receiving published offprints, preprints, and personal communications providing C-value estimates for fungi.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Database of secondary structure assignments (and much more) for all protein entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the program that calculates DSSP entries from PDB entries. DSSP is distributed on a basis of trust and instructions are available on the site. * Precompiled executables are also available for Linux and Windows. (The Windows .exe file was compiled under Linux using Mingw32, has never seen a Windows environment and should thus be virus-free. Download the source if you want to be 100% sure.) Under Windows the DSSP output does not make it to the console, so redirect it to a file instead: dsspcmbi source.pdb destination.dssp > messages.txt * Several changes have been made to the DSSP program to solve problems with recent PDB files. These are documented in the source code. * FTP access to the DSSP files resides at the CMBI: ftp.cmbi.kun.nl/pub/molbio/data/dssp or ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/dssp/. If you have problems downloading the DSSP files, it is likely that your FTP program is not able to handle tens of thousands of files in one directory. In this case, install a proper FTP program, for example NCFTP. However, it is recommended that you download DSSP files with the rsync command.
