Minimaps are designed to supplement the Metabolic Pathways Charts by enlarging selected major individual pathways so as to illustrate additional aspects of metabolism such as Membranes, Compartmentation, Organs, Organelles, Shuttles and Regulation. The selection is designed to stimulate the exploration of the pathways and make metabolism more meaningful.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs.

Institution dedicated to research and teaching in the field of tropical medicine. As a registered charity, they work in over 60 countries worldwide, often in very difficult circumstances, to fulfill their mission of reducing the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries through the delivery of effective interventions which improve human health and are relevant to the poorest communities. Their new Centre for Tropical and Infectious Diseases is a state of the art facility for developing new drugs, vaccines and pesticides which puts us at the forefront of infectious disease research. As a teaching institution, they attract more than 600 students from 68 countries, from PhD research and Masters programs to a range of short courses, and work in partnership with health ministries, universities and research institutions worldwide to train the next generation of doctors, scientists, researchers and health professionals. The provision of technical assistance is a major component of LSTM''s mission of promoting the improved health of the poor and disadvantaged peoples. LSTM consultancy improves health systems in developing countries whilst helping to inform their teaching and research agendas.

Biobank and Pathology Core provides resources for human biospecimen-based research to be used to study causes, detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer.Central facility for the collection, processing, storage, and distribution of fresh, frozen, and FFPE-processed human biospecimens (tissues, blood, bone marrow, urine, and other liquid samples) for research use. Core also serves as national resource, as evidenced by the several hundred samples from multiple tumor types that have been provided to the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and NCI’s CPTAC proteogenomic consortium. Histology Service within the Core facilitates selection of appropriate specimens for tissue analyses and provides the basic services of cutting, dissecting, and staining of fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. It includes construction of tissue microarray blocks and laser capture microdissection for isolation of pure cell populations and tumor cell enrichment. The Core’s Immunohistochemistry Service provides immunostaining using optimized antibodies for clinico-pathologic research studies.
