A 20 year, 20,000 person, open longitudinal epidemiological study of a cohort town. GAZEL was not constructed to answer a specific question rather it was designed to help analyze a wide range of scientific problems and is accessible to the community of researchers specializing in epidemiology. Translation is not available for all pages. The GAZEL cohort, set up in 1989 by Inserm Unit 88 (subsequently Unit 687), in cooperation with several departments of ��lectricit�� de France-Gaz de France (EDF-GDF), was a public utility firm in France involved in production, transmission and distribution of energy. GAZEL initially included 20 624 volunteers working at EDF-GDF (15 010 men and 5614 women), aged from 35 to 50 years. In accordance with its purpose as a scientific research platform, the GAZEL cohort is permanently open to epidemiologic research teams. Today, more than 50 projects on very diversified themes have been set up in GAZEL by some 20 teams, French, belonging to different bodies, and foreign (Germany, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, and USA).

Database of peer-reviewed, continually updated annotation for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 reference strain genome expanded to include all Pseudomonas species to facilitate cross-strain and cross-species genome comparisons with high quality comparative genomics. The database contains robust assessment of orthologs, a novel ortholog clustering method, and incorporates five views of the data at the sequence and annotation levels (Gbrowse, Mauve and custom views) to facilitate genome comparisons. Other features include more accurate protein subcellular localization predictions and a user-friendly, Boolean searchable log file of updates for the reference strain PAO1. The current annotation is updated using recent research literature and peer-reviewed submissions by a worldwide community of PseudoCAP (Pseudomonas aeruginosa Community Annotation Project) participating researchers. If you are interested in participating, you are invited to get involved. Many annotations, DNA sequences, Orthologs, Intergenic DNA, and Protein sequences are available for download.

A virus protein interactions database that collects and annotates all the interactions between human and viral proteins and integrates this information in the human protein interaction network. It uses the PSI-MI standard and is fully integrated with the MINT database. You can search for any viral or human protein by entering either common names or database identifiers or display a complete viral interactome.

A group blog providing expert, independent commentary on the personal genomics industry. The goal of the project is to provide genetic testing consumers with independent and informed analysis of developments in the field of genetics and the genetic testing industry. Members of Genomes Unzipped include active researchers in various fields of genetics, as well as specialists in the legal and public health issues surrounding new genomic technologies. Many of us have also been extensively involved in public communication about genetics. Members of the group have had their DNA tested with a variety of products. We have released all of these genetic data openly to the public, both as raw data and in a custom genome browser. As the project proceeds we plan to obtain more genetic tests ����?? up to and including whole genome sequencing ����?? and to continue to release these data to the world. The group is also performing analyses of our own raw genetic data to illustrate fundamental concepts in genetics, using software written both by group members and other collaborators; and we����??ll be releasing the code for that software in our new code repository. As the project expands, we����??ll be looking to add data from other volunteers to the project, as well as to collaborate with other ����??genome hackers����?? on the development of new tools for exploring genetic data.

A web-based, interactive brain atlas viewer, containing a growing number of atlas templates for various species, including mouse, macaque and human. Standard features include fast brain region lookup, point and click to select a region and view its full 3D extent, mark a stereotaxic coordinate and view all regions in a hierarchy. Built-in extensions are the CoCoMac plugin, which provides a spatial display of Macaque connectivity, and a service to transform stereotaxic coordinates to and from the INCF Waxholm space for the mouse. Three dimensional renderings of brain regions are available through a Matlab interface (local installation of Matlab required). The SBA is designed to be customizable. External users can create plugins, hosted on their own servers, to interactively attach images or data to spatial atlas locations. This fully web-based display engine for brain atlases and topologies allows client websites to show brain region related data in a 3D interactive context. Currently available atlases are: * Macaque: The Paxinos Rhesus Monkey atlas (2000) * Macaque: Various templates available through Caret, registered to F99 space: Felleman and Van Essen (1991), Lewis and Van Essen (2000), Regional Map from K��tter and Wanke (2005), Paxinos Rhesus Monkey (2000) * Macaque: The NeuroMaps Macaque atlas (2008) * Mouse: The INCF Waxholm Space for the mouse (2011). Previous versions available. * Mouse: The Allen Mouse Brain volumetric atlas (ABA07) * Human: The LPBA40 parcellation, registered to SRI24 space A variety of services are being developed around the templates contained in the Scalable Brain Atlas. For example, you can include thumbnails of brain regions in your own webpage. Other applications include: * Analyze atlas templates in Matlab * List all regions belonging to the given template * List of supported atlas templates * Find region by coordinate * Color-coded PNG (bitmap) or SVG (vector) image of a brain atlas slice * Region thumbnail in 2D (slice) or 3D (stack of slices) The Scalable Brain Atlas is created by Rembrandt Bakker and Gleb Bezgin, under supervision of Rolf K��tter in the NeuroPhysiology and -Informatics group of the Donders Institute, Radboud UMC Nijmegen.

A public curated compilation of allele frequency data on anthropologically defined human population samples linked to the molecular genetics-human genome databases. Only data on well defined population samples that are large enough to yield reasonably accurate frequencies and for polymorphisms sufficiently defined to be replicable can be included in ALFRED. Researchers wishing to have their data entered into ALFRED should contact them. Initially, ALFRED contained primarily data generated in the laboratories of K.K. and J.R. Kidd in the Department of Genetics at Yale, including extensive unpublished data. Data from the published literature are being entered into ALFRED in a systematic way, with a focus on polymorphisms studied in many different populations. ALFRED is distinct from such databases as dbSNP, which catalogs sequence variation. ALFRED's focus is on allele frequencies in diverse anthropologically defined populations. It is not a compendium of human DNA polymorphisms but of frequencies of selected polymorphisms with an emphasis on those that have been studied in multiple populations. All of the data in ALFRED are considered to be in the public domain and available for use in research and teaching. ALFRED provides easy searching options including versatile "Keyword search" and also has numerous summary tables providing quick overviews of contents by chromosome, population, average heterozygosity, Fst and others, all available under various tabs from the ALFRED homepage.

A knowledge-based coarse-grained tool for modeling RNA structures. It produces a diverse set of plausible 3D structures that satisfy user-provided constraints based on: 1. primary sequence 2. known or predicted secondary structure 3. known or predicted tertiary contacts (optional) Additionally, NAST can use residue-resolution experimental data (e.g. hydroxyl radical footprinting) to filter the generated decoy structures. NAST uses an RNA-specific knowledge-based potential in a coarse-grained molecular dynamics engine to generate large numbers of plausible 3D structures that satisfy the constraints given on the secondary and tertiary structure. It then filter these structures based on agreement to the experimental data (if available). This results in a model of the molecule which satisfies all the known residue-resolution data.
