Software tool designed to assist users in the estimation of multiple relaxation components from MRI T2 weighted spin-echo data such as that produced by a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence. This problem is important to study myelin content in white matter diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Stimulated echoes arising from non-ideal flip angles are accounted for using the Extended Phase Graph (EPG) algorithm. The distribution is modelled as a small number of discrete components and a Bayesian estimation algorithm is provided to determine the weights and locations of the components as well as the actual flip angle. This algorithm outperforms iterative gradient descent based approaches.

A Java application that allows images to be displayed in three dimensions. The tool allows anatomic structures to be traced and the tracings to be saved in a format that facilitates review and revision. It supports NIfTI-1.1 format float, double and signed and unsigned byte, short, and integer formats and provides legacy support for Analyze 7.5 8 and 16 bit images. It provides image display, editing, delineation of structure boundaries, export of traced contours and generation of masked volumes. Images are displayed in 3 orthogonal views. Time series can be displayed as averaged or contrast images and time courses can be visualized graphically. Version 2 provides enhancements to the original MultiTracer feature set.

Scan-rescan imaging sessions on 21 healthy volunteers (no history of neurological disease) intended to be a resource for statisticians and imaging scientists to be able to quantify the reproducibility of their imaging methods using data available from a generic 1 hour session at 3T. Imaging modalities include MPRAGE, FLAIR, DTI, resting state fMRI, B0 and B1 field maps, ASL, VASO, quantitative T1 mapping, quantitative T2 mapping, and magnetization transfer imaging. All data have been converted to NIFTI format. Please cite: Bennett. A. Landman, Alan J. Huang, Aliya Gifford, Deepti S. Vikram, Issel Anne L. Lim, Jonathan A.D. Farrell, John A.

Database that contains updated information about the Escherichia coli K-12 genome and proteome sequences, including extensive gene bibliographies. Users are able to download customized tables, perform Boolean query comparisons, generate sets of paired DNA sequences, and download any E. coli K-12 genomic DNA sub-sequence. BLAST functions, microarray data, an alphabetical index of genes, and gene overlap queries are also available. The Database Table Downloads Page provides a full list of EG numbers cross-referenced to the new cross-database ECK numbers and other common accession numbers, as well as gene names and synonyms. Monthly release archival downloads are available, but the live, daily updated version of EcoGene is the default mysql database for download queries.

ooTFD (object-oriented Transcription Factors Database) is a successor to TFD, the original Transcription Factors Database. This database is aimed at capturing information regarding the polypeptide interactions which comprise and define the properties of transcription factors. ooTFD contains information about transcription factor binding sites, as well as composite relationships within transcription factors, which frequently occur as multisubunit proteins that form a complex interface to cellular processes outside the transcription machinery through protein-protein interactions. ooTFD contains information represented in TFD but also allows the representation of containment, composite, and interaction relationships between transcription factor polypeptides. It is designed to represent information about all transcription factors, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic, basal as well as regulatory factors, and multiprotein complexes as well as monomers.

Database for the bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655, the EcoCyc project performs literature-based curation of the entire genome, and of transcriptional regulation, transporters, and metabolic pathways. The long-term goal of the project is to describe the molecular catalog of the E. coli cell, as well as the functions of each of its molecular parts, to facilitate a system-level understanding of E. coli. EcoCyc is an electronic reference source for E. coli biologists, and for biologists who work with related microorganisms.

A database that curates new experimental and bioinformatic information about the genes and gene products of the model bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 strain MG1655. It has been created to integrate information from post-genomic experiments into a single resource with the aim of providing functional predictions for the 1500 or so gene products for which we have no knowledge of their physiological function. While EchoBASE provides a basic annotation of the genome, taken from other databases, its novelty is in the curation of post-genomic experiments and their linkage to genes of unknown function. Experiments published on E. coli are curated to one of two levels. Papers dealing with the determination of function of a single gene are briefly described, while larger dataset are actually included in the database and can be searched and manipulated. This includes data for proteomics studies, protein-protein interaction studies, microarray data, functional genomic approaches (looking at multiple deletion strains for novel phenotypes) and a wide range of predictions that come out of in silico bioinformatic approaches. The aim of the database is to provide hypothesis for the functions of uncharacterized gene products that may be used by the E. coli research community to further our knowledge of this model bacterium.

This toolbox is an EEGLAB plugin for performing Measure Projection Analysis. Measure Projection Analysis (MPA) is a novel probabilistic multi-subject inference method that overcomes EEG Independent Component (IC) clustering issues by abandoning the notion of distinct IC clusters. Instead, it searches voxel by voxel for brain regions having event-related IC process dynamics that exhibit statistically significant consistency across subjects and/or sessions as quantified by the values of various EEG measures. Local-mean EEG measure values are then assigned to all such locations based on a probabilistic model of IC localization error and inter-subject anatomical and functional differences.

Matlab code for two-factor (location and year) analysis-of-variance model for the calculation of climate anomalies, in which the reference interval is specified as the full length of the dataset. This scheme avoids the affects of shorter (e.g. 1961-1990) reference intervals on the temporal evolution of the spatial standard deviation of climate anomalies. Data files provided.
