CISCRP is a resource for information on participation in, understanding of, and resources for clinical research participants and scientists. The mission of the Center is to educate, inform and empower patients, the public, medical and research professionals, the media and policymakers about clinical research participation and what it means to be an active participant in the clinical research process, promote greater awareness and understanding of clinical research participation and the role that it plays in public health, facilitate more effective collaboration among all members of the clinical research enterprise, and provide resources for the research community to better understand the study volunteer. To that end, the Center has developed a broad national awareness and education initiative in order to better inform the public at large about clinical study information. Furthermore, on its website, the Center offers program and event information related to clinical trials, an information center with facts, figures, informational resources, and FAQs for both patients and researchers, and a mailing list of clinical trial information. :The Center also maintains its own search engine website, : :searchclinicaltrials.org : : :, for those looking for further clinical trial information. The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation is located in Dedham, MA. :NIF thanks the : :Parkinson's Disease Foundation : : :for their referral of this resource to us.

Wiki that provides a listing (and associated links) of various formats to store and export annotations. Apparently everyone uses his own proprietary format to store and export annotations. The FDF format (or better its XML variant XFDF) is or was used by Acrobat to store form values and annotations, but third-party implementations focus on the forms-part of FDF instead of the annotations-part. * XML Forms Data Format Specification (XFDF) 2.0 (2007). * iText classes (no full FDF/XFDF implementation) ** FdfReader ** FdfWriter ** XfdfReader * The commercial software Adobe Digital Editions explicitly supports external annotations. The FAQ says Digital Editions supports bookmarks, highlights, and text notes via its bookmarks panel. These annotations are stored in an open XML format separately from publications to enable seamless annotation across PDF- and EPUB-based publications. They will set the stage for future social networking features (such as sharing annotations within a community of readers). * Okular has its own annotation exchange format, similar to PDF annotation (comparison is needed) ** internal API documentation ** There is no file format documentation, but the source code is mainly in the methods AnnotationUtils storeAnnotation and Annotation store * Xournal is open source and allows some annotation, but its PDF reading ability is very limited. It also uses its own format to store annotations * Mendeley supports annotations, which can be synced independent from the PDF files they refer to, and exported together with PDFs. There is no documentation of the API and format they use to exchange annotations. * Evernote is worth a view. But proprietary and no Linux client. * iAnnotate seems to be popular on the iPad - can it export and import annotations? In which format? There is a good article by Scott McLeod with screenshots about his use of iAnnotate and Evernote to take notes (June 15, 2010). http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/LeaderTalk/2010/06/tools_for_school_digital_docum.html

A component of EcoliHub, EcoliWiki is a wiki-based system for finding, editing, and adding information about E. coli K-12 and other model organism strains of E. coli. EcoliWiki is being constructed to include information about bacteriophage, plasmids, and mobile genetic elements. Information should be easily accessible and correct, and users have the right to edit any information they feel is incorrect. Most of the E. coli information was initially seeded with a subset of information from parsing EcoCyc data dumps. For phage gamma and the F plasmid, Genbank accessions were converted to GFF, which was parsed into the appropriate tables. Other sources of content include: * user additions * monthly addition of annotations from EcoCyc * structural data from the PDB * domains and motif information from InterPro * various databases including EcoGene, RegulonDB, Genbank, GenoBase, ASAP * many many scientific papers EcoliWiki participates in the RefGenome project. EcoliWiki provides REST web services as part of the EcoliHub Web Services infrastructure project.

Consortium conducting meta-analyses of genome-wide genetic data for psychiatric disease. Focused on autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa (AN), Tourette syndrome (TS), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Used to investigate common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped on commercial arrays, structural variation (copy number variation) and uncommon or rare genetic variation. To participate you are asked to upload data from your study to central computer used by this consortium. Genetic Cluster Computer serves as data warehouse and analytical platform for this study . When data from your study have been incorporated, account will be provided on central server and access to all GWAS genotypes, phenotypes, and meta-analytic results relevant to deposited data and participation aims. NHGRI GWAS Catalog contains updated information about all GWAS in biomedicine, and is usually excellent starting point to find comprehensive list of studies. Files can be obtained by any PGC member for any disease to which they contributed data. These files can also be obtained by application to NIMH Genetics Repository. Individual-level genotype and phenotype data requires application, material transfer agreement, and informed consent consideration. Some datasets are also in controlled-access dbGaP and Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium repositories. PGC members can also receive back cleaned and imputed data and results for samples they contributed to PGC analyses.

A multiplatform open-source software to assist molecular biologists without much expertise in bioinformatics to manage, analyze and visualize their data. UGENE integrates widely used bioinformatics tools within a common user interface. The toolkit supports multiple biological data formats and allows the retrieval of data from remote data sources. It provides visualization modules for biological objects such as annotated genome sequences, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assembly data, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees and 3D structures. Most of the integrated algorithms are tuned for maximum performance by the usage of multithreading and special processor instructions. UGENE includes a visual environment for creating reusable workflows that can be launched on local resources or in a High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. UGENE is written in C++ using the Qt framework. The built-in plugin system and structured UGENE API make it possible to extend the toolkit with new functionality.
