An open web-accessible resource for gene functional annotations in the plant sciences to facilitate improvement, consolidation and visualization of gene annotations across several plant species. It is based on the MapMan ontology, organized in the form of a hierarchical tree of biological concepts, which describe gene functions. Currently, genes of the model species Arabidopsis, potato, tomato, rice, and tobacco are included. The main features are (i) dynamic and interactive gene product annotation through various curation options; (ii) consolidation of gene annotations for different plant species through the integration of orthologue group information; (iii) traceability of gene ontology changes and annotations; (iv) integration of external knowledge about genes from different public resources; and (v) providing gathered information to high-throughput analysis tools via dynamically generated export files. All of the GoMapMan functionalities are openly available, with the restriction on the curation functions, which require prior registration to ensure traceability of the implemented changes.

The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation funds early career cancer researchers who have the energy, drive and creativity to become leading innovators in their fields. We identify the best young scientists in the nation and support them through four award programs: our Fellowship, Pediatric Cancer Fellowship, Clinical Investigator and Innovation Awards. Damon Runyon awards give young scientists: * Freedom to follow their own ideas, explore new paths and take risks * A prestigious endorsement that attracts further funding, advances their careers and accelerates their research * Guaranteed financial support, sparing them hours applying for grants Since 1946, Damon Runyon has invested more than $240 million in the best young minds in the nation. Our alumni include 11 Nobel Laureates and leaders of major cancer centers across the United States. Many of our 3,300 scientists have gone on to make breakthroughs in the way we prevent, diagnose and treat many forms of cancer. The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation is a registered nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status.

A computational tool for the identification and analysis of microbial sequences in high-throughput human sequencing data that is designed to work with large numbers of sequencing reads in a scalable manner. This process is composed of a subtractive phase in which input reads are subtracted by alignment to human reference sequences, and an analytic phase in which the remaining reads are aligned to microbial reference sequences (viral, fungal, bacterial, archaeal) and de novo assembled. PathSeq is currently available in a cloud computing environment via Amazon Web Services The typical approach one would take to pathogen discovery with PathSeq: RNA or DNA is extracted from the tissue of interest and sequencing libraries are constructed to be run on the next-generation DNA sequencing platform of choice. The resulting sequence data is run through the PathSeq pipeline in a cloud computing environment. PathSeq reports potential microbes in the sequence data as well as the complete set of reads that could not be identified as human or microbial sequences.

Web service for permanent archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical research projects. The repository allows you to explore datasets from numerous genotype experiments, supplied by a range of data providers. The EGA''s role is to provide secure access to the data that otherwise could not be distributed to the research community. The EGA contains exclusive data collected from individuals whose consent agreements authorize data release only for specific research use or to bona fide researchers. Strict protocols govern how information is managed, stored and distributed by the EGA project. As an example, only members of the EGA team are allowed to process data in a secure computing facility. Once processed, all data are encrypted for dissemination and the encryption keys are delivered offline. The EGA also supports data access only for the consortium members prior to publication.

A linear average model atlas produced by the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) project. A set of full- brain volumetric images from a normative population specifically for the purposes of generating a model were collected by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), UCLA, and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Research Imaging Center (RIC). 152 new subjects were scanned using T1, T2 and PD sequences using a specific protocol. These images were acquired at a higher resolution than the original average 305 data and exhibit improved contrast due predominately to advances in imaging technology. Each individual was linearly registered to the average 305 and a new model was formed. In total, three models were created at the MNI, the ICBM152_T1, ICBM152_T2 and ICBM152_PD from 152 normal subjects. This resulting model is now known as the ICBM152 (although the model itself has not been published). One advantage of this model is that it exhibits better contrast and better definition of the top of the brain and the bottom of the cerebellum due to the increased coverage during acquisition. The entirely automatic analysis pipeline of this data also included grey/white matter segmentation via spatial priors. The averaged results of these segmentations formed the first MNI parametric maps of grey and white matter. The maps were never made publicly available in isolation but have formed parts of other packages for some time including SPM, FSL AIR and as models of grey matter for EEG source location in VARETTA and BRAINWAVE. Again, as these models are an approximation of Talairach space, there are differences in varying areas, to continue our use of origin shift as an example, the ICBM models are approximately 152: +3.5mm in Z and +-co-ordinate -3.5mm and 2.0mm in Y as compared to the original Talairach origin. In addition to the standard analysis performed on the ICBM data, 64 of the subjects data were segmented using model based segmentation. 64 of the original 305 were manually outlined and a resulting parametric VOI atlas built. The native data from these acquisitions was 256x256 with 1mm slices. The final image resolution of this data was 181x217x181 with 1mm isotropic voxels. Refer to the ICBM152 NonLinear if you are fitting an individual to model and do not care about left/right comparisons. A short history of the various atlases that have been produced at the BIC (McConnell Brain Imaging Center, Montreal Neurological Institute) is provided.
