The Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation, established in 2002, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group that provides support services for those who have family members affected by 22q13 Deletion Syndrome / Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. It also raises money to further awareness of the syndrome through research and sponsoring an international conference every two years that brings together families, researchers and therapists. The Foundation facilitates connections between families through networking, communications and support services. We also build alliances with other rare diseases groups to expand our reach and exposure. The syndrome, which affects families worldwide, is a rare genetic occurrence and is the result of a damaged or missing protein on the 22nd chromosome. Our Foundation works with researchers who are looking into the cause and possible cure for the syndrome. PMSF's grants and fellowships program is intended to encourage research projects that will advance the development of treatments and cures for PMS. Our mission is to bring together everyone affected by 22q13 Deletion Syndrome/Phelan-McDermid Syndrome to help them through the challenges they face every day and to raise awareness in the medical and research communities.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Time-series data sets spanning twelve time-points between E12-P9 for exploring cerebellar development of the mouse in time and space. The database contains a number of mutant / wildtype microarray datasets including two complete wildtype microarray time-series (C57BL/6 and DBA/2J). The dataset also includes in situ hybridization and bioinformatic analyses. Exploration of this dataset will allow the investigator to assess differential gene expression profiles from a developing mutant cerebella, to assess the temporal changes in gene expression in the wildtype, and to verify the cellular expression of these genes in images from our in situ hybridization library. Using the database, the investigator can explore the developmental expression or differential expression patterns of a particular gene, or create lists of similarly expression genes by building simple search algorithms. These lists can then be mined across all the datasets in both space and time. Cb GRiTS's current datasets represent gene expression analyses from multiple cerebellar mutant and wildtype single time-point and developmental series.

ABCdb is a public resource devoted to the ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) transporters encoded by completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes. In order to establish, in a complete genome, the repertory of ABC systems, we have to: i) identify the different partners, ii) assemble the partners in putative systems, and iii) classify the system into the correct functional subfamily (Quentin et al., 2002). The main pitfalls were the identification of loosely conserved domains and the assembly of partners encoded by genes dispersed over the chromosome. In order to face the avalanche of newly sequenced genomes, we decided to also feed into the database the raw prediction issued by this automatic procedure, before time consuming review by an expert occurs. Therefore, the database comprises two sections: CleanDb, for data checked by an expert and AutoDb for raw data. The ABC proteins are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes in Archaea, Bacteria and Eucaryota where they are encoded by large families of paralogous genes. The majority of ABC domains energize the transport of compounds across membranes. In bacteria, ABC transporters are involved in the uptake of a wide variety of molecules, as well as in mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance. In eukaryotes, most of them are involved in drug resistance and in human cell, many are associated with diseases. Sequence analysis reveals that members of the ABC superfamily can be organized into sub-families, and suggests that they have diverged from common ancestral forms. A typical ABC transporter system is composed of an assembly of protein domains that serve different functions: i) two Nucleotide Binding Domains (NBD) that energize transport via ATP hydrolysis, ii) two Membrane Spanning Domains (MSD) that act as a membrane channel for the substrate, and iii) for the importer, a Solute Binding Protein (SBP) that confers substrates specificity on the transporter. The different partners of an ABC system are generally encoded by neighboring genes. The database includes information on: * ABC transporters * Protein partners * Protein domains (NBD, MSD and SBP) * Classification of ABC transporters and their protein partners * Taxonomy of the species Each model Protein includes a link to the Peptide sequence, general information extracted from EMBL files, and specific tags to store results of predictions. The results of the annotation procedure are reachable through the class Prediction. The origin of the proteins is modeled as a path through the classes Chromosome, Strain, Species, and Taxon. Assembly and protein compilation tables are also provided for each of the chromosomes ( Assembly and Protein ).

Image resource including ascidian's three-dimensional (3D) and cross-sectional images through the developmental time course. These images were reconstructed from more than 3,000 high-resolution real images collected by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) at newly defined 26 distinct developmental stages (stages 1-26) from fertilized egg to hatching larva, which were grouped into six periods named the zygote, cleavage, gastrula, neurula, tailbud, and larva periods. The data set will be helpful in standardizing developmental stages for morphology comparison as well as for providing guidelines for several functional studies of a body plan in chordate.

Database of affinity data for protein-ligand complexes of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) providing direct and free access to the experimental affinity of a given complex structure. Affinity data are exclusively obtained from the scientific literature. As of Thursday, May 01st, 2014, AffinDB contains 748 affinity values covering 474 different PDB complexes. More than one affinity value may be associated with a single PDB complex, which is most frequently due to multiple references reporting affinity data for the same complex. AffinDB provides access to data in three different forms:<BR/> # Summary information for PDB entry<BR/> # Affinity information window<BR/> # Tabular reports<BR/>

Collection of software designed to analyze fMRI data using a series of processing steps. The input is the raw data, and the outputs are statistical brain maps showing regions of neural activation. Corrections for different systematic variations in the k-space (raw) data obtained from an fMRI session (head motion, ghosting, etc) are performed first. The image is then reconstructed (using the Fast Fourier Transform) and statistical analyses run. The user has a great deal of flexibility in choosing which corrections and statistics are executed. FIASCO emphasizes correct statistical models, for example for group comparisons.

Center that translates basic science discoveries into new treatments to extend lifespan and to combat degenerative disorders associated with aging or development. Their researchers are discovering the etiological pathways as well as small-molecule and stem cell-based treatments to address the clinical unmet need of these patients. The Center uses a team based approach to apply their expertise in stem cells to develop therapies for new treatments for stroke and Parkinson's disease. They are also performing high-throughput screens to identify new molecules to protect the synapses of nervesthe connections between nerves that mediate movement, memory and cognition for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism. By studying the links between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease, they are exploring new treatments to improve cognition in both disorders. Their collaborations with clinical partners enable them to test new discoveries in human trials, with a goal to improve the lives of patients and families affected by neurodegenerative disease and aging disorders.
