Physiome.jp has been established to provide building blocks useful to develop in silico human. The blocks will include mathematical models and experimental data representing physiological functions. Physiome.jp is a part of the Worldwide Integrative Biomedical Research Cooperation to promote Physiome and Systems Biology. The building blocks (modules, models, biological data) representing biological functions and structure are databased and served as elements in the catalogue of human knowledge. They can be reused for deeper understanding of human physiology, eventually contributing to establishment of in silico medicine and predictive medicine. The databases (insilicoDB) at www.physiome.jp currently include a Model Database and a Morphology Database. The Model Database stores a number of modules representing biological/physiological functions. Those models are formulated by mathematical equations to describe dynamic changes of states, i.e., specific biological functions. All models in the database are written in an XML format called insilicoML. The Morphology Database provides datasets representing morphometric models of biological organs. The morphometric data are provided in several data-types including surface data such as STL and VRML and volume/voxel data. The database contents are in the public domain and aim to provide valuable models to the scientific community for model sharing/reuse, simulation, model validation, visualization of biological structure, and morphology-based dynamic simulation of biological functions. These can be accomplished by combining insilicoML models with appropriate morphology datasets. Models and related data in the insilicoDB may be freely downloaded and reused for non-profit scientific purposes. When using the models in the Model Database, we ask the users to respect the effort spent in arranging/serving the mathematical models as well as the original model construction. For any reuse of the morphology data, we also ask the users to respect the intellectual property of those who provided the original data. This should be done by acknowledging insilicoDB@physiome.jp for model reuse and by including appropriate attribution information for any reuse of the morphology data. The insilicoDB owners will not be held responsible for misuse of the Morphology Database and/or Model Database, or damage caused by use of the data and models contained therein.

ReplicationDomain is an online database resource for storing, sharing and visualizing DNA replication timing and transcription data, as well as other numerical epigenetic data types. Data is typically obtained from DNA microarrays or DNA sequencing. Our site has a user registration system that allows registered users to upload their own data sets. While non-registered users may freely view and download public data sets, registered users may upload their own data sets and view them privately, share them with other registered users, or make published data sets publicly available. In addition we have implemented additional mechanisms that allow users to restrict sharing of data sets to a user designated group of registered users. Further details on the database usage are in the User Guide Page, while data set details are in the Documentation Page. Replication timing data were obtained by hybridizing early and late replication intermediates to Nimblegen oligonucleotide arrays, as described in Hiratani et al [PLoS Biology (2008) 6: e245]. Briefly, replication intermediates are prepared from cells that are first pulse-labeled with BrdU and then sorted into early and late stages of S-phase by flow cytometry, followed by anti-BrdU immunoprecipitation of the BrdU-substituted (nascent) replication intermediates that were synthesized either early or late during S-phase. After unbiased amplification of recovered DNA, the samples are differentially labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 and hybridized to Nimblegen CGH arrays containing one oligonucleotide probe every 5.8 kb across the mouse genome (Nimblegen, 2006-07-26_MM8_WG_CGH). Raw data from two independent biological replicates in which the early and late replicating DNA were labeled reciprocally with Cy3 and Cy 5 (dye switch) are loess-normalized and scaled to have the same median-absolute deviation using the limma package (R/Bioconductor) and then averaged. Finally, the data are smoothed with a weighted moving average (loess: local polynomial smoothing).

An independent federal agency created by Congress to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense They are the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America''s colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing. NSF leadership has two major components: a director who oversees NSF staff and management responsible for program creation and administration, merit review, planning, budget and day-to-day operations; and a 24-member National Science Board (NSB) of eminent individuals that meets six times a year to establish the overall policies of the foundation.The director and all Board members serve six year terms. Each of them, as well as the NSF deputy director, is appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. At present, NSF has a total workforce of about 2,100 at its Arlington, Va., headquarters, including approximately 1,400 career employees, 200 scientists from research institutions on temporary duty, 450 contract workers and the staff of the NSB office and the Office of the Inspector General. NSF is the only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. They are tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. So, in addition to funding research in the traditional academic areas, the agency also supports high-risk, high pay-off ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow. And in every case, they ensure that research is fully integrated with education so that today''s revolutionary work will also be training tomorrow''s top scientists and engineers NSF''s task of identifying and funding work at the frontiers of science and engineering is not a top-down process.
