A command-line program for the statistical analysis of SNP-disease association in case-control/cohort/cross-sectional studies with potentially missing genotype data. SNPMStat allows the user to estimate or test SNP effects and SNP-environment interactions by maximizing the (observed-data) likelihood that properly accounts for phase uncertainty, study design and gene-environment dependence. For SNPs without missing data, the program performs the standard association analysis. For typed SNPs with missing data or untyped SNPs, the program performs the maximum-likelihood analysis.

This Gateway is a collaboration between the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) and Nature Publishing Group (NPG), providing a comprehensive resource for functional glycomics research. Use this site to stay up-to-date on glycomics news, request CFG resources, and search databases of glycan-binding proteins, glycan structures, and glycosyltransferases. The Functional Glycomics Update provides a one-stop overview of the latest research in glycobiology for specialists and non-specialists alike. It is updated monthly to bring you the latest news and selected highlights from Nature journals. In addition, it will provide two featured articles a month on the most relevant advances in the field published in NPG and other top journals. By collating new articles into a key worded research library, we hope to provide a continuously updated and broad overview of the field. Sponsor. The CFG is a large international research initiative funded by NIGMS to elucidate the roles of carbohydrate-protein interactions in cell communication at the cell surface.

The goal of the Institute is to explore the interfaces of fundamental biological science, clinical science, and clinical care with a special emphasis on targeted cancer therapy. The current focus centers on signaling by protein kinases. These enzymes (protein kinases) play a key regulatory role in nearly every aspect of cell biology. Owing to the myriad actions of protein kinases, it is imperative that they be stringently regulated because aberrant activity of these enzymes can lead to a variety of diseases including, inter alia, cancer, diabetes and autoimmune, cardiovascular, degenerative, inflammatory, and nervous disorders. Because mutations and dysregulation of protein kinases play causal roles in human disease, these enzymes represent attractive drug targets. Our research focuses on the epidermal growth factor receptor protein-tyrosine kinase, Raf/Mek/Erk protein kinases, and on the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity by protein phosphorylation.

CnidBase, the Cnidarian Evolutionary Genomics Database, is a tool for investigating the evolutionary, developmental and ecological factors that affect gene expression and gene function in cnidarians. In turn, CnidBase will help to illuminate the role of specific genes in shaping cnidarian biodiversity in the present day and in the distant past. CnidBase highlights evolutionary changes between species within the phylum Cnidaria and structures genomic and expression data to facilitate comparisons to non-cnidarian metazoans. CnidBase aims to further the progress that has already been made in the realm of cnidarian evolutionary genomics by creating a central community resource which will help drive future research and facilitate more accurate classification and comparison of new experimental data with existing data.

It is an independent nonprofit organization established to provide meaningful trans-disciplinary experiential education to students by making the most cutting-edge instructional methods and technologies available to them to bring new inventions to the marketplace and to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration among its numerous constituencies. The Center provides a comprehensive program in which its students learn and acquire real-world experience by assisting universities, private and public research institutions, companies, and entrepreneurs to evaluate new technologies and facilitate the creation and development of new ventures. By offering a virtual venue for students and other constituencies worldwide, our stakeholders and collaborators can connect and share knowledge, expertise, resources, best practices, and other important information. Employers, investors and others searching for talent place a premium on relevant experience. However, students, individuals seeking a change in their careers, and prospective entrepreneurs often find it difficult to obtain positions that can provide needed experience, even if they are willing to work without compensation. This conundrum often leads to people taking or staying in positions for which they have no passion and which do not make the best use of their abilities. The Centers program is designed to provide extensive, intensive and relevant experience to its participants, with particular emphasis on teaching them to adapt to and thrive in our lightning fast, rapidly changing and increasingly flat world. As an independent organization, the Centers program and activities are not restricted to any particular institution or jurisdiction. Thus the Center can attract students, clients, professionals and other stakeholders, establish collaborations, and pursue other opportunities appropriate to its mission almost anywhere. eductional resource.

It presents accurate pig gene annotations in all sequenced genomic regions. It integrates various available pig sequence data, including 3.84 million whole-genome-shortgun (WGS) reads and 0.7 million Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) generated by Sino-Danish Pig Genome Project, and 1 million miscellaneous GenBank records. The Pig Analysis Database has covered nearly 50% of the whole pig genome and over 70% of the coding sequences (CDS), and aims to provide the most complete pig gene set to date. In addition to gene annotations, the PigGIS also presents expressional information from 98 EST libraries, SNPs detected from both WGS reads and ESTs, oligos that can be used in microarray design and relevant evolutionary data. SIFT analysis of deleterious mutations will come in future.

Operon DB is a method to detect and analyze conserved gene pairs - pairs of genes that are located close on the same DNA strand in two or more bacterial genomes. For each conserved gene pair, we calculate an estimate of probability that the genes belong to the same operon. The algorithm takes into account several alternative possibilities. One is that functionally unrelated genes may have the same order due simply because they were adjacent in a common ancestor. Other possibilities are that genes may be adjacent in two genomes by chance alone, or due to horizontal transfer of the gene pair.

Software for estimating mRNA abundances from the whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (RNA-Seq) data based on effective length normalization using uniquely mappable areas of gene and mRNA isoform models. Using the known transcriptome sequence model such as RefSeq, NEUMA pre-computes the numbers of all possible gene-wise and isoform-wise informative reads: the former being sequences mapped to all mRNA isoforms of a single gene exclusively and the latter uniquely mapped to a single mRNA isoform. The results are used to estimate the effective length of genes and transcripts, taking experimental distributions of fragment size into consideration. NEUMA covers a large proportion of genes and mRNA isoforms and offers a measure of consistency (''consistency coefficient'') for each gene between an independently measured gene-wise level and the sum of the isoform levels. NEUMA is applicable to both paired-end and single-end RNA-Seq data.
