Center to advance research and training in mathematical, computational and modern imaging approaches to understanding the brain and its functions. Software tools and associated reconstruction data produced in the center are available. Researchers study the relationships between neural function and structure at levels ranging from the molecular and cellular, through network organization of the brain. This involves the development of new computational and analytic tools for imaging and visualization of 3-D neural morphology, from the gross topologic characteristics of the dendritic arbor to the fine structure of spines and their synapses. Numerical simulations of neural mechanisms based on these structural data are compared with in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiological recordings. The group also develops new theoretical and analytic approaches to exploring the function of neural models of working memory. The goal of this analytic work is to combine biophysically realistic models and simulations with reduced mathematical models that capture essential dynamical behaviors while reproducing the functionally important features of experimental data. Research areas include: Imaging Studies, Volume Integration, Visualization Techniques, Medial Axis Extraction, Spine Detection and Classification, Applications of Rayburst, Analysis of Spatially Complex Structures, Computational Modeling, Mathematical and Analytic Studies

Major areas of specialization include surgical approaches to model production and assessment, behavior testing of sensorimotor functions, in vivo electrophysiological recording (EEG, EMG, ERP). Procedures are intended for mice and rats. Procedures can be developed based on client interests.
General database of genetic variations maintained by the NCBI. Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.
Primary access point for compendium of LINCS data with substantial changes in data architecture and APIs, completely redesigned user interface, and enhanced curated metadata annotations to support more advanced, intuitive and deeper querying, exploration and analysis capabilities. LINCS datasets are accessible at data point level enabling users to directly access and download any subset of signatures across entire library independent from originating source, project or assay. Newly designed query interface enables global metadata search with autosuggest across all annotations associated with perturbations, model systems, and signatures.

Manually annotated reaction database where all reaction participants (reactants and products) are linked to the ChEBI database (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest) which provides detailed information about structure, formula and charge. Rhea provides built-in validations that ensure both elemental and charge balance of the reactions. The database has been populated with the reactions found in the Enzyme Commission (EC) list (and in the IntEnz and ENZYME databases), extending it with additional known reactions of biological interest. While the main focus of Rhea is enzyme-catalyzed reactions, other biochemical reactions are also included. Rhea is a manually annotated resource and it provides: stable reaction identifiers for each of its reactions; directionality information if the physiological direction of the reaction is known; the possibility to link several reactions together to form overall reactions; extensive cross-references to other resources including enzyme-catalyzed and other metabolic reactions, such as the EC list (in IntEnz), KEGG, MetaCyc and UniPathway; and chemical substructure and similarity searches on compounds in Rhea.

Database of human histone variants, sites of their post-translational modifications and various histone modifying enzymes. The database covers 5 types of histones, 8 types of their post-translational modifications and 13 classes of modifying enzymes. Many data fields are hyperlinked to other databases (e.g. UnprotKB/Swiss-Prot, HGNC, OMIM, Unigene etc.). Additionally, this database also provides sequences of promoter regions (-700 TSS +300) for all gene entries. These sequences were extracted from the UCSC genome browser. Sites of post-translational modifications of histones were manually searched from PubMed listed literature. Current version contains information for about ~50 histone proteins and ~150 histone modifying enzymes. HIstome is a combined effort of researchers from two institutions, Advanced Center for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), Navi Mumbai and Center of Excellence in Epigenetics (CoEE), Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune.
