A Windows (Win32) software application for montaging, aligning, tracing, measuring, and reconstructing objects from serial microscopic section images. The software is designed for microscopy in which section resolution is much less than section thickness, such as transmitted electron microscopy (EM) where the resolution is a few nanometers while the section thickness is many tens of nanometers. Reconstruct can easily handle series with hundreds of very large, high-resolution section images. It facilitates image cropping, scaling and alignment. Multiple images can be placed side-by-side to make a montage of a section from a mosaic of images. The alignment of adjacent sections can be rapidly compared by either blending the two sections or by flickering between them. Sections can be moved while blended. Reconstruct aids in the calibration of image size. Images taken at different magnifications can be combined, calibrated and aligned. Tools for tracing and editing of objects on sections are provided. Objects can be surfaced from the traces and previewed in an OpenGL-based 3D scene window. The 3D scene can be saved as a bitmap or as a VRML file.
Software Python package for simulator-independent specification of neuronal network models. In other words, you can write the code for a model once, using the PyNN API, and then run it without modification on any simulator that PyNN supports (currently NEURON, NEST and PCSIM). The API has two parts, a low-level, procedural API (functions create(), connect(), set(), record(), record_v()), and a high-level, object-oriented API (classes Population and Projection, which have methods like set(), record(), setWeights(), etc.). The low-level API is good for small networks, and perhaps gives more flexibility. The high-level API is good for hiding the details and the book-keeping, and is intended to have a one-to-one mapping with FacetsML. The other thing that is required to write a model once and run it on multiple simulators is standard cell models. PyNN translates standard cell-model names and parameter names into simulator-specific names, e.g. standard model IF_curr_alpha is iaf_neuron in NEST and StandardIF in NEURON, while SpikeSourcePoisson is a poisson_generator in NEST and a NetStim in NEURON. Only a small number off cell models have been implemented so far.
Web service that tags gene, protein, and small molecule names in any web page. Clicking on a tagged term opens a small popup showing summary information, and allows the user to quickly link to more detailed information. For each protein or gene, Reflect provides domain structure, sub-cellular localization, 3D structure, and interaction partners. For small molecules, it provides the chemical structure and interaction partners. Reflect can be installed as a plugin to Firefox or Internet Explorer, or can be used by entering a URL in the field provided. It can also be accessed programmatically via a REST or SOAP API, and a Reflect button can easily be added to any web page using Javascript or using a CGI proxy. Reflect was first-prize winner out of over 70 submissions in the Elsevier Grand Challenge, an international competition for systems that improve the way scientific information is communicated and used. Reflect can be edited and improved by the community.
Open repository of biomedical ontologies that provides access via Web browsers and Web services to ontologies. It supports ontologies in OBO format, OWL, RDF, Rich Release Format (RRF), Protege frames, and LexGrid XML. Functionality includes the ability to browse, search and visualize ontologies as well as to comment on, and create mappings for ontologies. Any registered user can submit an ontology. The NCBO Annotator and NCBO Resource Index can also be accessed via BioPortal. Additional features: * Add Reviews: rate the ontology according to several criteria and describe your experience using the ontology. * Add Mappings: submit point-to-point mappings or upload bulk mappings created with external tools. Notification of new Mappings is RSS-enabled and Mappings can be browsed via BioPortal and accessed via Web services. * NCBO Annotator: Tool that tags free text with ontology terms. NCBO uses the Annotator to generate ontology annotations, creating an ontology index of these resources accessible via the NCBO Resource Index. The Annotator can be accessed through BioPortal or directly as a Web service. The annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using the preferred name and synonyms for terms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the ontology structure (e.g., is_a relations). * NCBO Resource Index: The NCBO Resource Index is a system for ontology based annotation and indexing of biomedical data; the key functionality of this system is to enable users to locate biomedical data linked via ontology terms. A set of annotations is generated automatically, using the NCBO Annotator, and presented in BioPortal. This service uses a concept recognizer (developed by the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics, University of Michigan) to produce a set of annotations and expand them using ontology is_a relations. * Web services: Documentation on all Web services and example code is available at: BioPortal Web services.

A software package that anayzes the structral details of RNA molecules through rapid quantification of a footprinting gel. By automating many of the steps involved in gel analysis, approximately one entire gel with thousands of bands can be quantified in less than 10 minutes using SAFA. In general, all the automated features have a manual override, such that even difficult or exceptional gels can be analyzed with the package.

An archive of hundreds of all-atom, explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations that were performed on a set of nine unfolded conformations of a variant of the villin headpiece subdomain (HP-35 NleNle). It includes scripts for accessing the archive of villin trajectories as well as a VMD plug-in for viewing the trajectories. In addition, all starting structures used in the trajectories are also provided. The simulations were generated using a distributed computing method utilizing the symmetric multiprocessing paradigm for individual nodes of the Folding_at_home distributed computing network. The villin trajectories in the archive are divided into two projects: PROJ3036 and PROJ3037. PROJ3036 contains trajectories starting from nine non-folded configurations. PROJ3037 contains trajectories starting from the native (folded) state. Runs 0 through 8 (in PROJ3036) correspond to starting configurations 0 through 8 discussed in the paper in J. Mol. Biol. (2007) 374(3):806-816 (see the publications tab for a full reference), whereas RUN9 uses the same starting configuration as RUN8. Each run contains 100 trajectories (named clone 0-99), each with the same starting configuration but different random velocities. Trajectories vary in their length of time and are subdivided into frames, also known as a generation. Each frame contains around 400 configurational snapshots, or timepoints, of the trajectory, with the last configurational snapshot of frame i corresponding to the first configurational snapshot of generation i+1. The goal is to allow researchers to analyze and benefit from the many trajectories produced through the simulations.
