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.

A research forum portal for ALS-related resources targeted specifically towards academic and industry-based researchers. The aim of the ALS Forum is to identify existing research resources and build new tools to help veteran researchers accelerate their work and to help those new to the ALS field quickly get up to speed. It currently consists of content developed through a partnership with the Alzforum and filtered for its relevance to ALS, as well as links to ALS review articles, and a dynamic listing of current drug development efforts relevant to ALS.

NSDL is a digital library of exemplary resource collections and services, organized in support of science education at all levels. Starting with a partnership of NSDL-funded projects, NSDL is emerging as a center of innovation in digital libraries as applied to education, and a community center for groups focused on digital-library-enabled science education. The National Science Digital Library (NSDL) was created by the National Science Foundation to provide organized access to high quality resources and tools that support innovations in teaching and learning at all levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. As a national network of learning environments, resources, and partnerships, NSDL seeks to serve a vital role as STEM educational cyberlearning for the nation, meeting the informational and technological needs of educators and learners at all levels. Educators need efficient and reliable methods to discover and use science and math materials that help them meet the demands of instruction, assessment, and professional development in an increasingly complex technology-based world. NSDL provides an organized point of access to: -High-quality STEM content aggregated from a variety of other digital libraries, NSF-funded projects, and NSDL-reviewed web sites. -Services and tools that enhance the use of this content in a variety of contexts. NSDL is designed primarily for K-16 educators, but anyone can access NSDL.org and search the library at no cost. Access to most resources discovered through NSDL is free; however, some content providers may require a login, or a nominal fee or subscription to retrieve their specific resources. NSDL serves as a nexus for educators, researchers, policy makers and the public by building bridges: -Between private sector and public interests by providing access to resources such as publisher'' journal articles, teacher-created lesson plans and real-time data sets from scientists -Between the scientific, research and educational communities by applying advanced technologies to stimulate new ways for educators and learners to access and use scientific information -Between teachers and learners at all levels, in all locations by supplying content and tools in open-access, non-proprietary formats in an easily accessible online environment. Sponsors: This work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0733600, Grant No. 0424671, Grant No. 0227648, Grant No. 0227656, and Grant No. 0227888.
