A data management tool which stores, classifies and manages digital resources such as publications, experimental data, presentation files, etc, together with its metadata. A key feature of the software is a high level of extensibility. By installing optional plug-ins, users can customize and extend the usability of the software based on their needs. It has a function of sharing data with open digital archives based on the XooNIps system, such as neuroinformatics platforms in operation and publicly available at J-Node (http://www.neuroinf.jp). The Concierge Project is a part of neuroinformatics research by Laboratory for Neuroinformatics in RIKEN Brain Science Institute. Concierge's primary goal is to encourage research resource sharing in neuroscience communities. A key feature of the software is its pluggable configuration. Based on the basic functions, various applications can be developed as plug-ins. It has already developed several application plug-ins specific to neuroscience research, e.g. literature manager, electronic laboratory notebook, etc.

Consortium promoting communication and collaboration among cancer cytogenomics laboratories, who are interested in applying microarray technologies to cancer diagnosis and cancer research. Their oals are to (1) establish platform-neutral and cancer specific microarray designs for diagnostic purposes, (2) share cancer microarray data between participating institutions for education purposes, (3) create a public cancer array database, and (4) carry out multicenter cancer genome translational research. Collaboration amongst the different laboratories and researchers will not only provide validation for the microarray design(s) but ultimately provide more comprehensive molecular information and more accurate interpretation to better serve cancer patients and further cancer research. The CGC was officially incorporated in June 2010 as a not-for-profit organization.

Database of images from medical and natural history texts, most of which were printed before 1800. They are organized by theme: diagnostics, human body, imaging, instruments, physician-patient culture, portraits, public health, reproduction, reproduction instruments, therapeutics. The Clendening History of Medicine Library and Museum is the rare books and manuscripts library of the University of Kansas Medical Center. We actively collect rare books as well as current works in the history of medicine, nursing, and the allied professions. The Library also supports the biomedical ethics and medical humanities curriculum by collecting contemporary secondary works in these areas. Under the auspices of its Museum, the Library also owns hundreds of medical artifacts.

IDbases are locus-specific databases for immunodeficiency-causing mutations. Our aim is to establish database for every immunodeficiency or provide links to those maintained elsewhere. IDbases contain in addition to gene mutation, also information about clinical presentation. Information has been collected from literature as well as received directly from researchers. It would be most glad if those analyzing mutations would send their information by using the interactive web submission available in each database. A number of articles have been published related to IDbases. IDbases are curated and distributed with proprietary MUTbase software suite.

International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is charged by the Virology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) with developing, refining, and maintaining the official, universal taxonomy of all viruses. The goal is to classify and name all known viruses into a single taxonomy that reflects their evolutionary relationships. It provides a variety of resources in support of that goal including online and downloadable versions of current and historical releases of the virus taxonomy.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 03, 2011. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEW UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot ANNOTATION PROGRAM CALLED UniProt Chordata protein annotation program. The Human Proteome Initiative (HPI) aims to annotate all known human protein sequences, as well as their orthologous sequences in other mammals, according to the quality standards of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. In addition to accurate sequences, we strive to provide, for each protein, a wealth of information that includes the description of its function, domain structure, subcellular location, similarities to other proteins, etc. Although as complete as currently possible, the human protein set they provide is still imperfect, it will have to be reviewed and updated with future research results. They will also create entries for newly discovered human proteins, increase the number of splice variants, explore the full range of post-translational modifications (PTMs) and continue to build a comprehensive view of protein variation in the human population. The availability of the human genome sequence has enabled the exploration and exploitation of the human genome and proteome to begin. Research has now focused on the annotation of the genome and in particular of the proteome. With expert annotation extracted from the literature by biologists as the foundation, it has been possible to expand into the areas of data mining and automatic annotation. With further development and integration of pattern recognition methods and the application of alignments clustering, proteome analysis can now be provided in a meaningful way. These various approaches have been integrated to attach, extract and combine as much relevant information as possible to the proteome. This resource should be valuable to users from both research and industry. We maintain a file containing all human UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entries. This file is updated at every biweekly release of UniProt and can be downloaded by FTP download, HTTP download or by using a mirroring program which automatically retrieves the file at regular intervals.

A MATLAB toolbox forpipeline data analysis of resting-state fMRI that is based on Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and a plug-in software within DPABI. After the user arranges the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data and results for functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. In addition, users can also use DPARSF to extract time courses from regions of interest. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use while DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is much more flexible and powerful. DPARSFA can parallel the computation for each subject, and can be used to reorient images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. Users can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely.

A database providing detailed mortality and population data to those interested in the history of human longevity. For each country, the database includes calculated death rates and life tables by age, time, and sex, along with all of the raw data (vital statistics, census counts, population estimates) used in computing these quantities. Data are presented in a variety of formats with regard to age groups and time periods. The main goal of the database is to document the longevity revolution of the modern era and to facilitate research into its causes and consequences. New data series is continually added to this collection. However, the database is limited by design to populations where death registration and census data are virtually complete, since this type of information is required for the uniform method used to reconstruct historical data series. As a result, the countries and areas included are relatively wealthy and for the most part highly industrialized. The database replaces an earlier NIA-funded project, known as the Berkeley Mortality Database. * Dates of Study: 1751-present * Study Features: Longitudinal, International * Sample Size: 37 countries or areas
