Avidin is a tetrameric or dimeric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles and amphibians and deposited in the whites of their eggs.5 It consists of four high affinity binding sites for biotin. ExtrAvidin is prepared from egg white avidin. It is a modified form of affinity purified avidin and combines high specific activity of avidin with the low background staining of streptavidin. It is a biotin binding protein produced by the bacteria Streptomyces avidinii.6 ExtrAvidin has been conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and is used for various techniques.

Digitizer software which can convert graph images to useful (x,y) data by turning a scanner into an automatic graph digitizer. UN‑SCAN‑IT works with most image formats (TIFF, JPG, BMP, GIF, etc.) from any scanner, digital camera, or other image source to digitize plots, instrumental output, published graphs, etc. Its features include: automatically digitizing strip chart and xy recorder output, digitizing graphs that are on different scales to compare results, comparing data with published graphs of other investigators, digitizing old plots and charts for comparison with new data, and re‑scaling and appending existing printed graphs.

Database of genes associated with dietary restriction. It includes genes inferred from experiments in model organisms in which genetic manipulations cancel out or disrupt the life-extending effects of dietary restriction and genes robustly altered due to dietary restriction, derived from a meta-analysis of microarray studies in mammals.

The OPTObacteria consortium aims to develop a multianalyte and automatic laboratory detector (ALD) for antibiotic resistant infections. The goal is to detect these analytes within 4-6 hours from the sample collection, providing a report with the actual patient status, and predicting emerging drug resistance through the companion epidemiology software. The platform technology for this consortium is an opto electronic device, in which the appropriate ligand-probe, linked onto an opto electronic surface, will be able of specifically recognize biomolecules of the resistant infections.

The Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium (MSOAC) is a public-private partnership which aims to accelerate the development of new therapies for MS by generating new tools for measuring outcomes in clinical trials. It is collecting, standardizing, and analyzing data about MS with the goal of qualifying new measures of disability for the disease. MSOAC is the newest of the eight consortia of Critical Path Institute (C-Path), a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to accelerating drug development by delivering on the mission outlined by FDA''''s critical path initiative.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Biomarkers Consortium (IBD-BIOM) addresses the need to improve our understanding of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through new biomarkers into molecular dysfunctions that give rise to IBD. The biomarkers targeted by the consortium will be translated into early-detection clinical diagnostic tests for IBD patients.

The goal of the Imaging of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases (INMiND) consortium is to identify novel biological targets of neuroinflammation for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and to translate this knowledge into clinical application and patient benefit. The consortium supports collaborative research on molecular mechanisms that link neuroinflammation with neurodegeneration.
