Database designed for web-based examination of the human erythroid transcriptome. The database is organized to provide a cytogenetic band position, a unique name as well as a concise annotation for each entry. Search queries may be performed by name, keyword or cytogenetic location. Search results are linked to primary sequence data and three major human genome browsers for access to information considered current at the time of each search. Hembase provides interested scientists and clinical hematologists with a genome-based approach toward the study of erythroid biology. Red blood cells in the circulation arise from hematopoietic stem cells that proliferate as erythroid progenitors and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells in response to the hormone erythropoietin. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

Founded in 1976, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to serving all people with dystonia and their families. Since its inception, the DMRF has grown from a small family-based foundation into a dynamic membership-driven organization led by a Board of Directors and network of volunteers with personal connections to dystonia. Because dystonia hits so close to home for our directors and volunteers, the DMRF leadership is motivated by an unrelenting drive to find a cure and an unwavering commitment to serving people affected by dystonia. Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) prides itself on a long history of supporting dystonia research. Always the primary goal of the DMRF, research has led to a better understanding of dystonia as well as to breakthroughs in genetics and therapeutics.The funding which researchers obtain from the DMRF usually serves as seed money before generating even greater funding from the National Institutes of Health.Beyond the funding of research, the scientific program of the DMRF is multi-faceted, encompassing workshops, a residency elective program, and international medical symposiums, all to further the understanding of dystonia.

This COnsensus-DEgenerate Hybrid Oligonucleotide Primer (CODEHOP) strategy has been implemented as a computer program that is accessible over the World-Wide Web and is directly linked from the BlockMaker multiple sequence alignment site for hybrid primer prediction beginning with a set of related protein sequences. This is a new primer design strategy for PCR amplification of unknown targets that are related to multiply-aligned protein sequences. Each primer consists of a short 3' degenerate core region and a longer 5' consensus clamp region. Only 3-4 highly conserved amino acid residues are necessary for design of the core, which is stabilized by the clamp during annealing to template molecules. During later rounds of amplification, the non-degenerate clamp permits stable annealing to product molecules. The researchers demonstrate the practical utility of this hybrid primer method by detection of diverse reverse transcriptase-like genes in a human genome, and by detection of C5 DNA methyltransferase homologs in various plant DNAs. In each case, amplified products were sufficiently pure to be cloned without gel fractionation. Sponsors: This work was supported in part by a grant from the M. J.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on January 4,2023. IgBLAST was developed at NCBI to facilitate analysis of immunoglobulin V region sequences in GenBank. In addition to performing a regular BLAST search, IgBLAST has several additional functions: - Reports the germline V, D and J gene matches to the query sequence. - Annotates the immunoglobulin domains (FWR1 through FWR3). - Matches the returned hits (for databases other than germline genes) to the closest germline V genes, making it easier to identify related sequences. - Reveals the V(D)J junction details such as nucleotide homology between the ends of V(D)J segments and N nucleotide insertions. D and J gene reporting is only for nucleotide sequence search and requires a stretch of five or more nucleotide identity between the query and D or J genes.

Wiki that provides a listing (and associated links) of various formats to store and export annotations. Apparently everyone uses his own proprietary format to store and export annotations. The FDF format (or better its XML variant XFDF) is or was used by Acrobat to store form values and annotations, but third-party implementations focus on the forms-part of FDF instead of the annotations-part. * XML Forms Data Format Specification (XFDF) 2.0 (2007). * iText classes (no full FDF/XFDF implementation) ** FdfReader ** FdfWriter ** XfdfReader * The commercial software Adobe Digital Editions explicitly supports external annotations. The FAQ says Digital Editions supports bookmarks, highlights, and text notes via its bookmarks panel. These annotations are stored in an open XML format separately from publications to enable seamless annotation across PDF- and EPUB-based publications. They will set the stage for future social networking features (such as sharing annotations within a community of readers). * Okular has its own annotation exchange format, similar to PDF annotation (comparison is needed) ** internal API documentation ** There is no file format documentation, but the source code is mainly in the methods AnnotationUtils storeAnnotation and Annotation store * Xournal is open source and allows some annotation, but its PDF reading ability is very limited. It also uses its own format to store annotations * Mendeley supports annotations, which can be synced independent from the PDF files they refer to, and exported together with PDFs. There is no documentation of the API and format they use to exchange annotations. * Evernote is worth a view. But proprietary and no Linux client. * iAnnotate seems to be popular on the iPad - can it export and import annotations? In which format? There is a good article by Scott McLeod with screenshots about his use of iAnnotate and Evernote to take notes (June 15, 2010). http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/LeaderTalk/2010/06/tools_for_school_digital_docum.html

HERVd is compiled from the human genome nucleotide sequences obtained mostly in the Human Genome Projects. We created a relatively simple and fast environment for screening human genome for Human endogenous retroviruses ( HERVs). The HERV database now contains retroviruses from more than 90 % of the human genome. Retroviral genomes or parts of their genomes are present in the DNA of many organisms. Studies of endogenous retroviral nucleotide sequences have become an important part of contemporary retrovirology as well as of molecular and cellular biology and genomics. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are of special interest also because their expression may be associated with several diseases, including cancer. Various groups of HERVs have been reported in the human genome. Their number can range from one copy to many thousand copies.
