Database portal offering integrated access to genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species of scientific interest, developed using the Ensembl genome annotation and visualization platform. Ensembl Genomes consists of five sub-portals (for bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and invertebrate metazoa) designed to complement the availability of vertebrate genomes in Ensembl. Many of the databases supporting the portal have been built in close collaboration with the scientific community - essential for maintaining the accuracy and usefulness of the resource. A common set of user interfaces (which include a graphical genome browser, FTP, BLAST search, a query optimized data warehouse, programmatic access, and a Perl API) is provided for all domains. Data types incorporated include annotation of (protein and non-protein coding) genes, cross references to external resources, and high throughput experimental data (e.g. data from large scale studies of gene expression and polymorphism visualized in their genomic context). Additionally, extensive comparative analysis has been performed, both within defined clades and across the wider taxonomy, and sequence alignments and gene trees resulting from this can be accessed through the site.

An open-source general packing algorithm that packs 3D objects onto surfaces, into volumes, and around volumes. It provides a general architecture to allow various packing algorithms to interoperate efficiently in the same model. autoPack can incorporate any packing solution into its modular python program architecture, but is currently optimized to provide a novel solution to the loose packing problem which places objects of discrete size into place (compared to advancing front, popcorn, or other fast tight-packing solutions that allow objects to scale to arbitrary masses.) Most popular 3D software programs now contain robust physics engines based on Bullet that can separate small collections of overlapping objects or allow volumes to be filled by pouring shapes from generators, but these approaches fails for large complex systems and result in either overlapping geometry, crashed software, or non-random gradients. Most packing algorithms are designed to position objects as efficiently as possible, but autoPack allows the user to select from random loose packing to highly organized packing methods����??even to choose both methods at the same time. autoPack positions 3D geometries into, onto, and around volumes with minimal to zero overlap. autoPack mixes several packing approaches and procedural growth algorithms. autoPack can thus place objects with forces and constraints to allow a high degree of control ranging from completely random distributions to highly ordered structures. * zero to minimal overlaps depending on the method used * accuracy vs speed parameters selected by the user * zero edge effects * complete control, from fully random to fully ordered distributions * agent-based interaction, weighting, and collision control

The UniProtKB Sequence/Annotation Version Archive (UniSave) is a repository of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL entry versions. Entries can be retrieved by entering a primary accession number or an entry name and pressing the Go! button. The result of the query is a list of entry versions with the UniProtKB database name, entry status, primary accession number, entry name, entry version, sequence version, release number and the release date, ordered by the release date, the latest version first. The entry version status can be ''''incorporated'''', ''''active'''', ''''changed'''', ''''replaced'''' or ''''deleted''''. An incorporated entry version is the first entry version added into UniProtKB, an active entry version is part of the latest public release, a changed entry version has been superseded by a newer entry version, a replaced entry has become secondary to another entry, and a deleted entry has been removed from the UniProtKB without becoming secondary to any other entry. For replaced entry versions, the status ''''Replaced'''' can be clicked to return all entries, which have the given entry as a secondary entry. If a date is provided as part of the query then only the version of the entry that was current at that date is displayed. Entries can be viewed by clicking ''''View'''' in the query results table. The ''''<< Earlier'''' and ''''Later >>'''' links can be used to access the earlier and later entry versions. The ''''Back to List'''' link returns the user to the query results table. Selecting ''''UniProtKB'''' or ''''Fasta'''' and pressing ''''Save'''' downloads the entry in flat file or fasta format. Comparison between entry versions is straightforward: selecting two entries and clicking the ''''Compare Selected'''' button will show the differences between the two entries. Whenever comparisons are made a Smith-Waterman sequence alignment is computed using SSEARCH, and displayed at the bottom of the entry. The actual alignment is displayed only when the sequences are not identical.

The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research. The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision. This will benefit all involved by allowing the sharing of expertise and information, the establishment of harmonized standards for the operation of cancer biobanks and provide a means to access a larger pool of biosamples from the confederated banks. The initial achievements of the NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks were the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for the founder members of the Confederation, and a document outlining the Guiding Principles for the management and operation of a tissue bank / biobank in the contemporary ethical and legal setting. Any organization based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. CCB Members receive: * access to the Members Area of the web site containing shared resources * inclusion in email discussion fora with other members * networking opportunities with other members * inclusion in a collective voice to research funders, policy makers, legislators and others * inclusion in the NCRI''s new on-line sample directory * one free registration for each CCB workshop * a future opportunity to pursue accreditation/quality endorsement for the bank * a potential future opportunity for your donors to join a donor forum, which provides patients/sample donors with a mechanism of keeping in touch with research biobanking activities.

Project to map the neural pathways that underlie human brain function for several modalities of neuroimaging data including fMRI. The purpose of the Project is to acquire and share data about the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain. It will greatly advance the capabilities for imaging and analyzing brain connections, resulting in improved sensitivity, resolution, and utility, thereby accelerating progress in the emerging field of human connectomics. Altogether, the Human Connectome Project will lead to major advances in the understanding of what makes us uniquely human and will set the stage for future studies of abnormal brain circuits in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. The sixteen institutes and centers of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience have funded two major grants that will take complementary approaches to deciphering the brain's amazingly complex wiring diagram. An 11-institution consortium led by Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Minnesota received a 5-year grant to enable development and utilization of advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods to chart brain circuitry. A consortium led by Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of California at Los Angeles received a grant to enable building and refining a next-generation 3T MR scanner that improves the quality and spatial resolution with which brain connectivity data can be acquired at this field strength.
