ABCdb is a public resource devoted to the ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) transporters encoded by completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes. In order to establish, in a complete genome, the repertory of ABC systems, we have to: i) identify the different partners, ii) assemble the partners in putative systems, and iii) classify the system into the correct functional subfamily (Quentin et al., 2002). The main pitfalls were the identification of loosely conserved domains and the assembly of partners encoded by genes dispersed over the chromosome. In order to face the avalanche of newly sequenced genomes, we decided to also feed into the database the raw prediction issued by this automatic procedure, before time consuming review by an expert occurs. Therefore, the database comprises two sections: CleanDb, for data checked by an expert and AutoDb for raw data. The ABC proteins are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes in Archaea, Bacteria and Eucaryota where they are encoded by large families of paralogous genes. The majority of ABC domains energize the transport of compounds across membranes. In bacteria, ABC transporters are involved in the uptake of a wide variety of molecules, as well as in mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance. In eukaryotes, most of them are involved in drug resistance and in human cell, many are associated with diseases. Sequence analysis reveals that members of the ABC superfamily can be organized into sub-families, and suggests that they have diverged from common ancestral forms. A typical ABC transporter system is composed of an assembly of protein domains that serve different functions: i) two Nucleotide Binding Domains (NBD) that energize transport via ATP hydrolysis, ii) two Membrane Spanning Domains (MSD) that act as a membrane channel for the substrate, and iii) for the importer, a Solute Binding Protein (SBP) that confers substrates specificity on the transporter. The different partners of an ABC system are generally encoded by neighboring genes. The database includes information on: * ABC transporters * Protein partners * Protein domains (NBD, MSD and SBP) * Classification of ABC transporters and their protein partners * Taxonomy of the species Each model Protein includes a link to the Peptide sequence, general information extracted from EMBL files, and specific tags to store results of predictions. The results of the annotation procedure are reachable through the class Prediction. The origin of the proteins is modeled as a path through the classes Chromosome, Strain, Species, and Taxon. Assembly and protein compilation tables are also provided for each of the chromosomes ( Assembly and Protein ).

Image resource including ascidian's three-dimensional (3D) and cross-sectional images through the developmental time course. These images were reconstructed from more than 3,000 high-resolution real images collected by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) at newly defined 26 distinct developmental stages (stages 1-26) from fertilized egg to hatching larva, which were grouped into six periods named the zygote, cleavage, gastrula, neurula, tailbud, and larva periods. The data set will be helpful in standardizing developmental stages for morphology comparison as well as for providing guidelines for several functional studies of a body plan in chordate.

Database of affinity data for protein-ligand complexes of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) providing direct and free access to the experimental affinity of a given complex structure. Affinity data are exclusively obtained from the scientific literature. As of Thursday, May 01st, 2014, AffinDB contains 748 affinity values covering 474 different PDB complexes. More than one affinity value may be associated with a single PDB complex, which is most frequently due to multiple references reporting affinity data for the same complex. AffinDB provides access to data in three different forms:<BR/> # Summary information for PDB entry<BR/> # Affinity information window<BR/> # Tabular reports<BR/>

Collection of software designed to analyze fMRI data using a series of processing steps. The input is the raw data, and the outputs are statistical brain maps showing regions of neural activation. Corrections for different systematic variations in the k-space (raw) data obtained from an fMRI session (head motion, ghosting, etc) are performed first. The image is then reconstructed (using the Fast Fourier Transform) and statistical analyses run. The user has a great deal of flexibility in choosing which corrections and statistics are executed. FIASCO emphasizes correct statistical models, for example for group comparisons.

Center that translates basic science discoveries into new treatments to extend lifespan and to combat degenerative disorders associated with aging or development. Their researchers are discovering the etiological pathways as well as small-molecule and stem cell-based treatments to address the clinical unmet need of these patients. The Center uses a team based approach to apply their expertise in stem cells to develop therapies for new treatments for stroke and Parkinson's disease. They are also performing high-throughput screens to identify new molecules to protect the synapses of nervesthe connections between nerves that mediate movement, memory and cognition for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and autism. By studying the links between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease, they are exploring new treatments to improve cognition in both disorders. Their collaborations with clinical partners enable them to test new discoveries in human trials, with a goal to improve the lives of patients and families affected by neurodegenerative disease and aging disorders.

The Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics (CPCCG) uses advanced screening technologies to identify high level chemical probes that interact with proteins involved in cellular processes. Optimization of these probes using medicinal chemistry and informatics will form the basis of a new generation of medicines. CPCCG is 1 of 4 Comprehensive Centers chosen nationally to be a part of the Molecular Libraries Probe Program (MLP), which established the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN). The goal is to produce small molecule probes that allow research into health and disease on the cellular level. CPCCG core services span a range of biochemical and cell-based screens for obtaining hits and provide chemistry resources for optimizing hits into probes or drug development. - Full scale screening capabilities and technology which can provide rapid screening on a broad diversity of assays and detection platforms - Several fully-integrated industrial-scale high-throughput screening (HTS) workstations - HTS microscopy/HCS and novel algorithm development for image analysis - Full hit-to-probe chemistry and exploratory pharmacology - Powerful NMR based Chemical Fragment Screening - Highly integrated informatics infrastructure and efficient data mining capabilities - Protein production facility - Cell production facility for scale-up tissue culture The CPCCG Screening Core can screen 96, 384 or 1536 well formats using either biochemical or cell-based assays, and can process over 300,000 wells per day. Total throughput capacity will climb to over 2 million compounds per day following the opening of Burnhams east coast campus in Lake Nona, Florida.

The Brain Dynamics Centre (BDC) is a network of centers and units. It achieves a unique exploration of the healthy brain and disorders of brain function. It translates these insights into new ways to tailor treatments to the individual. There approach is: "integrative neuroscience" - bringing together clinical observations, theory, and modern imaging technologies. And it's theoretical framework derives from linking physiology, psychology and evolution. Additionally, BDC also actively researches ADHD and conduct disorder, stress and trauma-related problems, depression and anxiety, anorexia nervosa, psychosis (including early onset) and conversion disorders. The research facilities DBC include assessment, rooms, two cognition-brain function laboratories, genotyping and an MRI Suite with 1.5 and 3T GE systems. BDC is the coordinating site for an international network - BRAINnet. It has over 180 members, and coordinates access to the first standardized database on the human brain for scientific purposes: Brain Resource International Database.
