An integrated software system for storing, managing, analyzing, and querying biological pathways at different levels of genetic, molecular, biochemical and organismal detail. The system contains a pathways database and associated tools to store, compare, query, and visualize metabolic pathways. The aim is to develop an integrated database and the associated tools to support computational analysis and visualization of biochemical pathways. At the computational level, PathCase allows users to visualize pathways in multiple abstraction levels, and to pose predetermined and ad hoc queries using a graphical user interface. Pathways are represented as graphs, and implemented as a relational database. The available functional annotations include the identity of the substrate(s), product(s), cofactors, activators, inhibitors, enzymes or other processing molecules, GO-categories of enzymes (as well as GO hierarchy visualizations two-way-linked to PathCase enzymes), EC number information and the associated links, and synonyms and encoding genes of gene products.

A Matlab toolbox for the statistical analysis of fMRI data. The fMRI data was first converted to percentage of whole volume. The statistical analysis of the percentages was based on a linear model with correlated errors. The design matrix of the linear model was first convolved with a hemodynamic response function modelled as a difference of two gamma functions timed to coincide with the acquisition of each slice. Temporal drift was removed by adding a cubic spline in the frame times to the design matrix (one covariate per 2 minutes of scan time), and spatial drift was removed by adding a covariate in the whole volume average. The correlation structure was modelled as an autoregressive process of degree 1. At each voxel, the autocorrelation parameter was estimated from the least squares residuals using the Yule-Walker equations, after a bias correction for correlations induced by the linear model. The autocorrelation parameter was first regularized by spatial smoothing, then used to "whiten" the data and the design matrix. The linear model was then re-estimated using least squares on the whitened data to produce estimates of effects and their standard errors. In a second step, runs, sessions and subjects were combined using a mixed effects linear model for the effects (as data) with fixed effects standard deviations taken from the previous analysis. This was fitted using ReML implemented by the EM algorithm. A random effects analysis was performed by first estimating the the ratio of the random effects variance to the fixed effects variance, then regularizing this ratio by spatial smoothing with a Gaussian filter. The variance of the effect was then estimated by the smoothed ratio multiplied by the fixed effects variance. The amount of smoothing was chosen to achieve 100 effective degrees of freedom. The resulting T statistic images were thresholded using the minimum given by a Bonferroni correction and random field theory, taking into account the non-isotropic spatial correlation of the errors.

A model of provenance that is designed to meet the following requirements: (1) To allow provenance information to be exchanged between systems, by means of a compatibility layer based on a shared provenance model. (2) To allow developers to build and share tools that operate on such a provenance model. (3) To define provenance in a precise, technology-agnostic manner. (4) To support a digital representation of provenance for any "thing", whether produced by computer systems or not. (5) To allow multiple levels of description to coexist. (6) To define a core set of rules that identify the valid inferences that can be made on provenance representation.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 7,2024. Software program for calling small indels from short-read sequence data ("next generation sequence data"). It is currently designed to handle only Illumina data. Dindel takes BAM files with mapped Illumina read data and enables researchers to detect small indels and produce a VCF file of all the variant calls. It has been written in C++ and can be used on Linux-based and Mac computers (it has not been tested on Windows operating systems).

The mission of the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is to stimulate and encourage meritorious research on women's health, including the role of sex and gender in health and disease. The priorities signify approaches and areas for which there is a need to stimulate and encourage research on women's health, or sex/gender factors, and the advancement of women in biomedical research careers. These research priorities are not an exclusive list of research areas important to women's health; therefore other innovative or significant research areas should also be considered. The following four overarching themes are important for addressing research on women's health: Lifespan, Sex/Gender Determinants, Health Disparities/Differences and Diversity, ad Interdisciplinary Research. Special Areas of Emphasis - Prevention/Treatment: from basic biological factors, including identifying and validating biomarkers, to risk and its applications to disease prevention, early detection, and treatment. - Sex and Genetics/Pharmacogenomics: genetic, molecular, and cellular basis for action of pharmacologic agents known to have different effects in females than in males. Research on effects of sex as a modifier of gene function and response is under-investigated. Sponsors: This research is funded by the NAtional Institutes of Health.
