Blind Source Separation and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithms including: An efficient batch algorithm: JADE and Adaptive algorithms: relative gradient algorithms. Associated papers / documentation are included as well as thoughts on Multi-dimensional independent component analysis. * An efficient batch algorithm: JADE - For off-line ICA, an algorithm has been developed based on the (joint) diagonalization of cumulant matrices. "Good" statistical performance is achieved by involving all the cumulants of order 2 and 4 while a fast optimization is obtained by the device of joint diagonalization. JADE has been successfully applied to the processing of real data sets, such as found in mobile telephony and in airport radar as well as to bio-medical signals (ECG, EEG, multi-electrode neural recordings). The strongest point of JADE for applications of ICA is that it works off-the-shelf (no parameter tuning). They advocate using the code provided as a plug-in replacement for PCA (whenever one is willing to investigate if such a replacement is appropriate). The weakest point of the current implementation is that the number of sources (but not of sensors) is limited in practice (by the available memory) to something like 40 or 50 depending on your computer. The JADE algorithm was originally developed to process complex signals, motivated by applications to digital communications. Another implementation is now available which is tuned to process more efficiently real-valued signals. * Adaptive algorithms: relative gradient algorithms - For adaptive source separation, they have developed a class of equivariant algorithms. This means that their performance is independent of the mixing matrix. They are obtained as stochastic relative gradient algorithms. * Multi-dimensional independent component analysis - Performing ICA on ECG signals with the JADE algorithm, it was realized that an interesting extension of the notion of independent component analysis would be to consider an analysis into linear components that would be "as independent as possible" as in ICA, but would be "livin" in subspaces of dimension greater than 1. This could be called "MICA" for Multi-dimensional Independent Component Analysis.

The long range goal of this laboratory is to understand the computational resources of brains from the biophysical to the systems levels. The central issues being addressed are how dendrites integrate synaptic signals in neurons, how networks of neurons generate dynamical patterns of activity, how sensory information is represented in the cerebral cortex, how memory representations are formed and consolidated during sleep, and how visuo-motor transformations are adaptively organized. Additionally, new techniques have been developed for modeling cell signaling using Monte Carlo methods (MCell) and the blind separation of brain imaging data into functionally independent components (ICA).

Group of 10 academic laboratories provide pancreatic islets of cGMP-quality to eligible investigators for use in FDA approved, IRB-approved transplantation protocols in which isolated human islets are transplanted into qualified patients afflicted with type 1 diabetes mellitus; optimize the harvest, purification, function, storage, and shipment of islets while developing tests that characterize the quality and predict the effectiveness of islets transplanted into patients with diabetes mellitus; and provide pancreatic islets for basic science studies. The centers are electronically linked through an Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC). The ABCC manages a system with objectively defined criteria that establishes the order of priority for islet distribution. It also provides database and other informatics to track the utilization of pancreata and all distributed clinical grade islets for transplant and basic research, and supports the Islet Cell Resource Centers Consortium so that the research community has a single entry point to the program. Qualified researchers from domestic institutions may request islets by submitting a written application to the director of the ABCC. The ICRs will distribute Islets as appropriate for either clinical or basic science protocol use to eligible investigators who have received a favorable review and subsequent approval by the ICR Steering Committee (SC). The Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC) manages the distribution according to a priority list. The ABCC will give preference to investigators who have peer-reviewed, NIH-funded research support.

GenProtEC is dedicated to the functions encoded by the Escherichia coli K-12 (strain MG1655) genome defined in the GenBank Accession No. NC_000913.2 deposit. All the data presented in GenProtEC is made easily accessible to the users through downloadable flat files in text format. GenProtEC presents information on the functions of E.coli K-12 MG1655 gene products from several points of view. E.coli proteins as single modules have been grouped in sequence similarity. Using the power of group membership of proteins of similar function, open reading frames within any group can be assigned the general function. In addition, the presence of domains of known function within E.coli proteins has been determined. Domain content permits annotation of some functional information to otherwise totally unknown sequences. The rich classification of cellular roles, MultiFun, has been applied, underlining the fact that many gene products have more than one cellular role. Our annotation work includes multiple types of information: 1. Sequence similarity to orthologues as defined by Darwin (start and end of aligned region, identity, and PAM distance). 2. Resolution of fused proteins into modular units with independent functions. 3. Identification of sequence similar protein groups within E. coli that are clustered by transitive relationships. The sequence similarity is limited to PAM 200 and an alignment of at least 83 amino acids. 4. Updated literature references. 5. Classification of gene products by their gene type and by their cellular role(s). The MultiFun classification system for cellular roles is used to assign gene products to one or more roles. MultiFun has been converted to Gene Ontology terms. 6. Familes of proteins related by structure and biochemical reaction mechanisms (work in progress). 7. SCOP superfamily identification and location (e.g. binding site domains) for E. coli proteins., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.
