For 35 years, Mid-America Transplant Services (MTS) has served as the regional organ and tissue procurement organization for eastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and northeast Arkansas, serving 4.3 million people in 84 counties. From our founding goal to assist in the coordination of kidney donations, we have grown to become a multi-faceted organization dedicated to saving lives and enhancing the quality of all donated organs and tissues currently available for transplant. MTS''s primary service offering is to facilitate and coordinate the organ and tissue donation process. With a mission to save lives through excellence in organ and tissue donation, we have been at the forefront of enhancing the quality of organs and tissue for transplant. Throughout our history, we have relentlessly pursued our core values of compassion, quality, teamwork, and honesty to create a positive donation experience for Donor Families, which is at the heart of what matters most to MTS. Located in Saint Louis, Missouri, MTS is one of 58 federally designated organizations of its kind in the United States. Incorporated in the State of Missouri, MTS is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3). To fulfill our mission, we work closely with the four transplant centers and over 110 donor hospitals located within our service area.

MindSpec is a nonprofit organization that utilizes innovative bioinformatics strategies to accelerate research on common neurodevelopmental disorders. With our research we hope to foster discovery and development of treatments that alleviate the symptoms of affected individuals. Our core mission at MindSpec is to advance research on neurodevelopmental conditions. Founded in 2006, MindSpec is an independent, non-profit research organization established to facilitate the discovery of a cure for autism. Although the initial focus was autism, we have gradually expanded our scope to other neurological disorders. We develop bioinformatics strategies using current information technology platforms to build disease specific databases. At MindSpec we place a strong emphasis on translational research, that is, closing the gap between basic science discoveries and practical treatments with the potential of benefiting people who have autism. Goals: * Build an integrated, up-to-date, relevant, searchable resource on autism, AutDB. * Build a community of scientists, practitioners, educators, policymakers and people affected by autism to share and disseminate knowledge of autism. * Identify gaps in autism research around the world. * Identify priority areas in autism research based on real-world needs. * Build an autism dictionary and digital information library. * Address cultural differences in treatments for autism, a social disease. * Build knowledge about autism for immediate use.

Established in 1970, the University of Miami Tissue Bank (UMTB) is the oldest academic institution of its kind in the United States. UMTB came about and evolved in an effort to provide safe and effective bone and soft tissue grafts to patients long before allograft bone transplantation was widely accepted. UMTB has always been focused on safety and the advancement of knowledge in allograft use. More scientific peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and innovations have come from UMTB either directly or indirectly than from any other organization of its kind. UMTB continues to be a leader in transplantation research and has maintained an impeccable safety record. As the only university-run tissue bank, UMTB works closely with surgeons and basic science investigators to advance the field of bone and soft tissue transplantation. Our scientific endeavors include clinical trials to confirm and improve graft efficacy for oral surgery, orthopedic tumor and spine surgery, and sports injuries. When warranted, we engage commercial entities for these studies. As a multidisciplinary organization of surgeons, pathologists, scientists and technicians, we have safely recovered, processed, distributed and implanted aseptically processed bone, cartilage and soft tissue grafts in thousands of patients. We make extraordinary efforts to ensure aseptic recovery and processing to protect the biologic activity, integrity, bio attributes, and safety of the graft. We believe that the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) has adopted appropriate guidelines for Tissue Banking in the United States and the University of Miami is a proud member of this organization.

Golden State Donor Services (GSDS) is the nonprofit, federally designated transplant donor network serving two and a half million people in the greater Sacramento area. We are committed to saving and improving lives by connecting one life to another through donation and transplantation. We support potential donor families in their time of loss, provide care for them through the donation process and coordinate the recovery of organs and tissues for transplant. We also provide after-care support to donor families while at the same time working to inspire universal acceptance of donation to ensure every person in need receives the ����??Gift of Life.����?? GSDS'' designated service area includes 11 counties in Northern California, (Amador, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba), as well as the communities of Santa Rosa and Reno. Currently GSDS has agreements with 30 hospitals. In Golden State Donor Services'' area, more than 1000 people now wait for an organ transplant, (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, intestine or pancreas).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented Jan 13, 2022; To enhance the understanding of the evolution of the Kingdom Fungi, 1500+ species were sampled for eight gene loci across all major fungal clades, plus a subset of taxa for a suite of morphological and ultrastructural characters with resulting data: AFTOL Molecular Database (generated by WASABI - Web Accessible Sequence Analysis for Biological Inference), Blast search the AFTOL Database (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers by species (generated by WASABI), AFTOL alignments, and the AFTOL Structural and Biochemical Database. Users may submit samples to the AFTOL project. AFTOL is a collaboration centered around four universities in the United States: Duke University (Francois Lutzoni and Rytas Vilgalys), Clark University (David Hibbett), Oregon State University (Joey Spatafora), and University of Minnesota (David McLaughlin). Participants throughout the world have donated vouchers, taxon samples, and gene sequences. The aim of the project is to reconstruct the fungal tree of life using all available data for eight loci (nuclear ribosomal DNA: LSU, SSU, ITS (including 5.8s, ITS1 and ITS2); RNA polymerase II: RPB1, RPB2; elongation factor 1-alpha; mitochondrial SSU rDNA, and mitochondrial ATP synthase protein subunit 6). A further objective of this study is to summarize and integrate current knowledge regarding fungal subcellular features within this new phylogenetic framework. The name of the bioinformatic package developed for AFTOL is WASABI which provides an efficient communication platform to facilitate the collection and dissemination of molecular data to (and from) the laboratories and participants. All molecular data can be viewed, downloaded, verified, and corrected by the participants of AFTOL. A central goal of the WASABI interface is to establish an automated analysis framework that includes basecalling of newly generated chromatograms, contig assembly, quality verification of sequences (including a local BLAST), sequence alignment, and congruence test. Gene sequences that pass all tests and are finally verified by their authors will undergo automated phylogenetic analysis on a regular schedule. Although all steps are initially carried out noninteractively, the users can verify and correct the results at any step and thus initiate the reanalysis of dependent data.
