Open source semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at a particular institution and across institutions by creating a semantic cloud of information that can be searched and browsed. Participants include institutions with local installations of VIVO or those with research discovery and profiling applications that can provide semantic web-compliant data. The information accessible through the national network''''s search and browse capability will therefore reside and be controlled locally within institutional VIVOs or other semantic web applications. The VIVO ontology provides a set of types (classes) and relationships (properties) to represent researchers and the full context of their experience, outputs, interests, accomplishments, and associated institutions. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVO/VIVO-ISF+Ontology VIVO is populated with detailed profiles of faculty and researchers including information such as publications, teaching, service, and professional affiliations. It also supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information. The rich semantically structured data in VIVO support and facilitate research discovery. Examples of applications that consume these rich data include: visualizations, enhanced multi-site search through VIVO Search, and applications such as VIVO Searchlight, a browser bookmarklet which uses text content of any webpage to search for relevant VIVO profiles, and the Inter-Institutional Collaboration Explorer, an application which allows visualization of collaborative institutional partners, among others. Institutions are free to participate in the national network by installing and using the application. The application provides linked data via RDF data making users a part of the semantic web! or any other application that provides linked data can be used. Users can also get involved with developing applications that provide enhanced search, new collaboration capabilities, grouping, finding and mapping scientists and their work.

Db for Dummies! is a small database that imports the Generic GO Slim. It allows data to be viewed in a tree. The Gene Ontology describes gene products in terms of their associated biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions. The Generic Slim Gene Ontology is a subset of the whole Gene Ontology. The slim version gives a broad overview and leaves out specific/fine grained terms. This example stores the slim version of the Gene Ontology (goslim_generic_obo) that can be downloaded from www.geneontology.org/GO.slims.shtml. Platform: Windows compatible

Flow cytometry studies optical parameters emitted by particles (cells, cell fractions). Flow cytometers can study a series of parameters of individual particles simultaneously, quickly and on a large number of individualized particles in suspension. Flow cytometers use lasers as a source of light excitement; therefore, it must be possible to mark the particles with one or more fluorescent substances. Information is also collected regarding the size and structural complexity of each particle. This multiparameter study of each particle enables us to analyse subpopulations in complex samples through electronic sorting. Some cytometers are also equipped with sorting and collection modules for particles of interest. The most important applications of flow cytometry include those relating to the study of cell surface receptors, nuclear and cytoplasmic antigens, DNA content, enzyme activity, cell integrity and membrane permeability and calcium flows. The Unit currently hosts five analyzers and two sorters, and is therewith the largest Becton Dickinson site in Spain. The sorters are operated by the facility personnel, who also support the users in experimental design and data analysis. The analyzers are operated by the users themselves, after they have been trained. The facility personnel helps with the experimental design and supervises and monitors the experiments when necessary.

Collaborative venture between the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and several academic institutions. Repository facilitates psychiatric genetic research by providing patient and control samples and phenotypic data for wide-range of mental disorders and Stem Cells.Stores biosamples, genetic, pedigree and clinical data collected in designated NIMH-funded human subject studies. RGR database likewise links to other repositories holding data from same subjects, including dbGAP, GEO and NDAR. Allows to access these data and biospecimens (e.g., lymphoblastoid cell lines, induced pluripotent cell lines, fibroblasts) and further expand genetic and molecular characterization of patient populations with severe mental illness.
