Software tool for assigning statistical confidence estimates to chromosomal contact maps produced by genome-wide genome architecture assays such as Hi-C.
Software supervised learning framework for chromatin loop detection in genome-wide contact maps.
Standardized, open-source framework of classes and properties designed to annotate and interlink data regarding metabolites, species taxonomy, ecological traits, and environmental interactions. It powers the METRIN-KG knowledge graph, mapping the chemical diversity of Earth's species to support biodiversity conservation. Knowledge representation schema designed to capture, contextualize, and structure chemical diversity data across all known species. It reuses and harmonizes several existing ontologies, while introducing over 100 new concepts and relations to enable interoperability and data reuse.
Software pipeline for generating knowledge graph integrating emi, trydb, globi datasets. Code for constructing a knowledge graph that integrates enriched metabolite data from Experimental Natural Products Knowledge Graph (ENPKG), LOTUS (available through Wikidata), plant trait data from TRY, and biotic interaction data from Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI). It performs taxonomic alignment against Wikidata records and generates Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples representing taxonomic relationships, traits, and species interactions. The resulting knowledge graph is queryable via a SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) endpoint.
Knowledge base platform that provides scientists worldwide with tools for searching, exploring, and visualizing Neuroscience knowledge represented by knowledge graphs (KGs). Provides tools that enable scientists to contribute new information (or knowledge) to the platform and is expected to be a go-to destination for all neuroscience-related research needs. Allows making predictions and new inferences in addition to querying and viewing information.
Mouse Biology Shared Resource (MBSR) provides knockout, transgenic, and humanized murine cancer models and related services for advancing translational cancer research. Additionally, the MBSR offers services to enhance the use of existing mouse models or to facilitate the development of new mouse models for cancer research, including genetic alteration (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting, transgenesis), surgical manipulation (e.g., patient-derived xenografts (PDX), cell-derived allografts (CDA) and xenografts (CDX)), and environmental challenges (e.g., diet, chemotherapeutic agents). can produce a wide range of allele-speci?c mouse models and offers innovative technologies to phenotype mouse models that mimic human conditions.
Molecular Pharmacology and Chemical Biology Shared Resource (MPCBSR) provides services for the assessment of new therapeutics, including clinical trial specimens and determination of clinical PK/PD and potential drug-drug interactions (DDI), pharmacological studies on novel therapeutics in preclinical models, including DM/PK/PD, on-target mechanisms, biomarkers, and combination effects, and chemical synthesis of new compounds and drug delivery nanomaterials for improved therapy.
Software R package from the Allen Institute designed to build, standardize, and analyze single-cell RNA-seq-based cell type taxonomies. It utilizes a structured Allen Institute schema (AIT) to organize cell annotations and metadata, enabling hierarchical, data-driven cell type classification
General, open-standard schema for cell annotations and related metadata. Provides programmatically accessible standard designed to record additional metadata about individual cell type annotations, including marker genes used as evidence and details of automated annotation transfer. Standard is represented as JSON schema as this allows all metadata to be gathered in a single, compact validatable file - which includes a link to a cell by gene matrix file of annotated data. However, the schema is designed so that it can be decomposed into individual tables suitable for use in dataframes/TSVs and flattened onto obs in AnnData format.
Mass Spectrometry Core provides comprehensive LC-MS and MALDI imaging MS based analytical support for proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, glycomics, and spatial omics. Offers expertise in experimental design, optimized sample preparation, data acquisition, data analysis, and investigator training for NIH funded and translational research projects.
