The incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is monitored in the UK by the National CJD Surveillance Unit (NCJDSU) based at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Unit brings together a team of clinical neurologists, neuropathologists and scientists specialising in the investigation of this disease. This document is intended to summarise the research in progress at the NCJDSU and also provide some background information about CJD and other human spongiform encephalopathies. We have also provided some links to other resources and contrary points of view available on the Web.

SYFPEITHI is a database comprising more than 7000 peptide sequences known to bind class I and class II MHC molecules. The entries are compiled from published reports only. It contains a collection of MHC class I and class II ligands and peptide motifs of humans and other species, such as apes, cattle, chicken, and mouse, for example, and is continuously updated. Searches for MHC alleles, MHC motifs, natural ligands, T-cell epitopes, source proteins/organisms and references are possible. Hyperlinks to the EMBL and PubMed databases are included. In addition, ligand predictions are available for a number of MHC allelic products. The database is based on previous publications on T-cell epitopes and MHC ligands. It contains information on: -Peptide sequences -anchor positions -MHC specificity -source proteins, source organisms -publication references Since the number of motifs continuously increases, it was necessary to set up a database which facilitates the search for peptides and allows the prediction of T-cell epitopes. The prediction is based on published motifs (pool sequencing, natural ligands) and takes into consideration the amino acids in the anchor and auxiliary anchor positions, as well as other frequent amino acids. The score is calculated according to the following rules: The amino acids of a certain peptide are given a specific value depending on whether they are anchor, auxiliary anchor or preferred residue. Ideal anchors will be given 10 points, unusual anchors 6-8 points, auxiliary anchors 4-6 and preferred residues 1-4 points. Amino acids that are regarded as having a negative effect on the binding ability are given values between -1 and -3. Sponsors: SYFPEITHI is supported by DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 685 and theEuropean Union: EU BIOMED CT95-1627, BIOTECH CT95-0263, and EU QLQ-CT-1999-00713.

Tissue bank for collecting, cataloging and storing postmortem brain tissue samples from subjects with and without neurological disorders. Specimens are available for research on cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's, dementia and other disorders along with clinical data such as demographic information, health and family history and neuropsychological test scores. The bank provides services to distribute postmortem brain tissue and other samples to investigators for use in research that will provide qualitative and quantitative diagnostic information to physicians, families, and researchers.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 24,2023. It provides annotated sequence data and classifications for the genomes of eighteen species of hemiascomycete yeasts, including nine complete genomes. The Gnolevures web resources provides genetic element pages, orthologs defined by syntenic homology, protein families, a genome browser for interspecies comparison, and data sets for downloading. An advanced search facility permits a number of criterion-based and full text queries. Classification data, including protein families and orthologs, and the most up-to-date genome annotations, are for the most part not available in general-purpose sequence data bases such as EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ.

A gold-standard dataset of biologically relevant binding sites in protein structures. It consists of proteins with one unbound structure and at least one structure of the protein-ligand complex. Both a redundant and a non-redundant (sequence identity lower than 25) version is available. Quaternary structures proposed by PQS (2) are used for all structures in the dataset. The availability of both unbound and bound structures for each protein guarantees that our dataset can be used to benchmark binding site prediction methods, in conditions that mimic cases where the binding site is truly unknown. In cases where several different bound structures are available for a given protein, all are used to define the binding sites.

We provide plasmid cloning services. Our procedures allow cloning not only by using restriction enzymes but also in restriction-enzymes-independent ways. This allows sequence modification in areas where no suitable restriction sites are present. Examples for services offered: - Amplification of insert from one plasmid and cloning in another plasmid. - Addition of sequence to an existing plasmid, for example adding FLAG+myc tags, restriction sites, linkers, shRNA coding sequences, can add up to 100 bp in one cloning operation. - Introducing site directed mutations, can modify multiple bases within a 50 bp sequence in one cloning operation. - Deletion of sequences of any length from a plasmid. - Insertion of one gene fragment in to another gene, for example for making a chimeric protein. - Cloning an insert in to a plasmid while adding a tag at the 5'' or 3'' ends of the insert. - Cloning an insert while adding a polyglycine spacer to prevent structural effects of tags on your protein. - Any other sequence modifications by request.

The Research Computing System is a vision for a user controlled collection of applications, tools, and services integrated through a uniform understanding of user identity and the communities (groups) to which the user belongs. This environment enables seamless access to shared resources and facilitates collaborations within departments, across campus and around the globe. The RCS development project is a collaborative effort to build a private cloud to support the construction and operation of research applications. RCS is the collection of these resources and the communities surrounding their development. RCS is an open development effort that welcomes participation of those interested in the construction, use, or operation of this platform.
