A software dedicated to microbial ecology and environmental studies which uses individual nucleic sequences or consensus sequences produced by multiple alignments to design degenerate probes in order to target gene families covering many sequence variants. Probe specificity is assessed by similarity search against an exhaustive formatted database dedicated to microbial ecology containing coding sequences (CDS) and their putative 5-prime and 3-prime unstranslated regions (UTR). Potential cross-hybridizations identified by the program are clustered and results are organized in order to simplify user interpretation.
Sequence analysis software for filtering, mapping and OTU-picking NGS reads. SortMeRNA takes as input a file of reads (fasta or fastq format) and one or multiple rRNA database file(s), and sorts apart rRNA and rejected reads into two files specified by the user., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
Eutherian comparative genomic analysis protocol as one framework of eutherian gene data set revisions. Protocol integrated gene annotations, phylogenetic analysis and protein molecular evolution analysis with 3 new tests including test of reliability of public eutherian genomic sequences using genomic sequence redundancies, test of contiguity of public eutherian genomic sequences using multiple pairwise genomic sequence alignments and test of protein molecular evolution using relative synonymous codon usage statistics. Public eutherian reference genomic sequence data sets.
A software library written to perform vectorized scientific computing and oriented to ease complex modelling tasks such as those typically needed within environmental models, even when involving irregular and heterogeneous data series. The Mastrave project attempts to allow a more effective, quick interoperability between GNU Octave and Matlab users by using a well documented wrap around the main incompatibilities between those computing environments and by promoting a general idiom based on their common, stable syntagms.
A high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, functions written in the Octave language, or by using dynamically loaded modules written in C, C++, Fortran, or other languages., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
A universal tracking application specifically designed to support animal behavioral analysis. AnimalTracker consists of three main modules which can be used independently: Tracker is responsible for image processing and providing the coordinates of the identified object; Zone Designer provides tools to create custom-made investigation areas in order to design a maze-setup; and Tracking Analyzer module serves to define and obtain the parameters needed for the evaluation.
A translator library for raster and vector geospatial data formats that presents a single raster abstract data model and vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It includes formats such as GeoTIFF, Erdas Imagine, Arc/Info Binary, CEOS, DTED, GXF, and SDTS. It is intended to provide efficient access suitable for use in viewer applications, and also attempts to preserve coordinate systems and metadata. Python, C, and C++ interfaces are available.
Network helps to organize and support collaborative research related to loss of functional beta cell mass in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Project consists of four independent research initiatives: Consortium on Beta Cell Death and Survival (CBDS), Consortium on Human Islet Biomimetics (CHIB), Consortium on Modeling Autoimmune Interactions (CMAI), Consortium on Targeting and Regeneration (CTAR), and Human Pancreas Analysis Program (HPAP).
A database of domain-centric ontologies on functions, phenotypes, diseases and more. As a biomedical ontology resource, dcGO integrates functional, phenotypic, disease, and drug information. As a protein domain resource, it includes annotations to both the individual domains and supra-domains. Domain classifications and ontologies are organized in hierarchies, and dcGO includes the facility to browse the hierarchies: SCOP Hierarchy for browsing domains, GO Hierarchy for browsing GO terms, and BO Hierarchy for browsing other terms (mostly phenotypes). Users can mine and browse through resources.
A workflow for running molecular dynamics simulations. It can be used for all-atom molecular dynamic simulations, which involve five steps of minimization, one step of heating, three steps of equilibration, and one or more instances of production. The input is a set of directories that include the MD simulation input scripts, system topology and coordinate files. Output files are list of plots, simulation trajectories, intermediate files, restart files, and the like.
The goal of the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) is to work with the leading islet isolation centers in the U.S. to distribute high quality human islets to the diabetes research community, in order to advance scientific discoveries and translational medicine.
A study which recruits patients with and without an episode of acute kidney injury during a hospitalization, and follows them longitudinally for major cardiac, renal and mortality events. An important aspect of the study is the prospective evaluation of potential biomarkers for renal and cardiac outcomes.
Network of clinical centers and a data coordinating center established to conduct studies of islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes.
A comparative study that aims to determine which combination of two medications is best for glycemic control in Type 2 Diabetes, has the fewest side effects, and is the most beneficial for overall health. GRADE is a randomized clinical trial of participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past 10 years who are already on metformin. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 commonly-used glucose-lowering drugs (glimepiride, sitagliptin, liraglutide, and basal insulin glargine), plus metformin, and will be followed for up to 7 years.
Consortium which includes 3 studies, each assessing the hypothesis that aggressive glucose lowering will lead to recovery of beta-cell function that will be sustained after treatment in those with prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes.
A study to determine whether vitamin D supplementation is safe and effective in delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk for the disease and to gain a better understanding of how vitamin D affects glucose metabolism.
A consortium which aims to promote the discovery and validation of biomarkers to advance the field of CKD research. The NIDDK CKD Biomarkers Consortium brings together investigators whose expertise includes clinical nephrology, epidemiology, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, systems biology, laboratory medicine, biostatistics, and laboratory test verification and qualification.
A consortium of researchers conducting a cohort study that investigates the underlying disease mechanisms of pro non-inflammatory glomerular diseases. The aim is to elucidate pathogenesis and identify therapeutic targets for clinical trials. The study participants will be classified according to the kidney biopsy results into one of three subcohorts, including Minimal change disease/Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; Membranous nephropathy; and other conditions.
A consortium which includes five of the leading porphyria centers in the United States that provide expertise and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with porphyria. The staff in each Center includes porphyria physicians, researchers, research coordinators, and technical/laboratory staff. Together with the American Porphyria Foundation, the Porphyrias Consortium enables a large scale collaborative effort to develop strategies and methods for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illness and disability resulting from these rare disorders.
A research consortium with the long term goal of developing and testing measurement tools to describe symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in women and men. The group plans to study targeted populations of patients with LUTD in order to expand our understanding of the causes of symptoms and common ways that symptoms change over time. The researchers will also collect biosamples from patients for current and future study of LUTD.
