The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) was founded in 1960 to bring the varied facets of cell biology together. The Society''s purpose is to promote and develop the field of cell biology. Its objectives are achieved through the scholarly dissemination of research at its Annual Meeting and Summer Meetings and in its publications. The ASCB strives to ensure the future of basic scientific research by providing training and development opportunities for students and young investigators, and also by keeping Congress and the American public informed about the importance of biological research. Since its founding, the ASCB has grown to approximately 10,000 members in the United States and more than 65 countries around the world. About 25% of ASCB members are international. Current members come from universities, colleges, professional schools, government, industry, and public and private research institutions. Membership in the ASCB is open to all research scientists, students, educators (high school, undergraduate, and graduate level), and technicians who have education or research experience in cell biology or an allied field.

SCREEM is a web development environment. It''s purpose is to increase productivity when constructing a site, by providing quick access to commonly used features. While it is written for use with the GNOME desktop environment in mind it does not specifically require you to be running it, just have the libraries installed. Unlike most other web site / HTML editors SCREEM does not provide a WYSIWYG display of pages. Instead you are presented with the raw html source in its editor window. In general WYSIWYG editors do not produce good clean valid HTML, and can also slow you down if they do not support an element that you wish to insert. By utilising a text based editing system you can use the markup you want rather than what the application thinks you need, and also provide quick access to commonly used elements via toolbar buttons which insert the markup at the current cursor position. In addition to excelling as an HTML editor, SCREEM also lends itself to being a versatile XML editing package, perfect for use as a general purpose structured data editing environment.

The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) at the University of California, Berkeley, is a center for research and education in the biology of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Founded in 1908, the Museum''s mission is to document and increase understanding of the diversity of terrestrial vertebrates, with particular emphasis on western North America. An MVZ Video Gallery is also available. The superb collections are at the heart of the MVZ program, where methods of field biology are combined with modern laboratory techniques and analytical methods in a comprehensive, synthetic approach. Our goals are to remain at the forefront of international research on evolutionary biology from the perspectives of systematics, ecology, behavior, functional and developmental morphology, population biology, and evolutionary genomics, and to lead the way in developing and using major natural history collections for research, education, and solving problems in biodiversity conservation. Because the MVZ was founded upon a philosophy that organisms should be studied in relationship to their natural environments, its collections are supplemented by extensive ancillary information (e.g., field notes, habitat photographs, tape-recorded vocalizations) that is connected to specimens and/or tissues and enhances their value to researchers. This concept was pioneered at the MVZ and continues to be the primary focus of current research efforts. To this end, there are strong research links between the Museum and the 2,000 acre MVZ/UC field station at Hastings Natural History Reservation. In addition, the MVZ is actively engaged in developing concepts and tools for Biodiversity Informatics through collaborations across the Berkeley Natural History Museums and international consortia.

The Department of Pharmacology at Yale University offers integrated and interdisciplinary opportunities for graduate study under the newly organized Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). Students entering the BBS program can take courses, participate in laboratory rotations, and perform thesis research with any of the more than 200 faculty members in the biological sciences at Yale located at the closely situated School of Medicine and Science Hill ends of campus. The faculty and students of the BBS program are organized into moderately-sized, interest-based Tracks to ensure individualized attention and maximize scientific interactions. Prospective students apply to the Track that best matches their interests, although there is complete freedom to work with faculty members in any Track or to switch Tracks after arrival at Yale.

Psychology wiki is an up-to-date, authoritative statement of knowledge, theory, and practice in the whole field of psychology reflecting generally accepted academic standards. Its intended audience includes health workers, psychologists, and students and has 60,995 pages and 28,303 articles - and growing. You can access articles by following the links in the Foundations and Applied psychology sections, search for a term by entering it into the search box, or simply browse through various categories and subcategories. This centrally consolidated information resource aims to provide a conduit for authoritative information for academic and applied training, and continuing professional development, as well as provide a vehicle for informing the general public about our discipline. We also aim to be a forum for ideas, so on each discussion page we encourage alternative opinion, proposals for hypotheses requiring verification, practitioner reports, user views, etc. We hope to win the support of the national psychology societies, and through them to develop a mechanism of appropriate peer review of all articles and to restrict contributors to those with professional qualifications. This will allow articles to achieve academic status for referencing purpose and eventually ground the content solidly in the knowledge base of the discipline.

Ontology that is a conceptual model for the domain of gene regulation. It covers processes that are linked to the regulation of gene expression as well as physical entities that are involved in these processes (such as genes and transcription factors) in terms of ontology classes and semantic relations between classes. GRO is intended to represent common knowledge about gene regulation in a formal way rather than representing extremely fine-grained classes as can be found in ontologies such as the Gene Ontology (GO) (created for data base annotation purposes) and various relevant databases. The main purpose of the ontology is to support NLP applications. It has a particular focus on the relations between processes and the molecules (participants) involved. The basic structure of the GRO is a direct acyclic graph (DAG) with ontology classes as nodes and is-a relations between classes as edges. The taxonomic backbone is further enriched by several semantic relation types (part-of, from-species, participates-in with the two sub-relations agent-of and patient-of).

SNPinfo Web Server is a set of freely available web-based SNP selection tools where investigators can specify genes or linkage regions and select SNPs based on GWAS results, linkage disequilibrium (LD), and predicted functional characteristics of both coding and non-coding SNPs. The algorithm uses GWAS SNP P-value data and finds all SNPs in high LD with GWAS SNPs, so that selection is from a much larger set of SNPs than the GWAS itself. The program can also identify and choose tag SNPs for SNPs not in high LD with any GWAS SNP. We incorporate functional predictions of protein structure, gene regulation, splicing and miRNA binding, and consider whether the alternative alleles of a SNP are likely to have differential effects on function. Users can assign weights for different functional categories of SNPs to further tailor SNP selection. The program accounts for LD structure of different populations so that a GWAS study from one ethnic group can be used to choose SNPs for one or more other ethnic groups. SNP Selection and Functional Information *Candidate Gene SNP Selection (GenePipe):SNP selection for candidate genes based on Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) results, functional SNP prediction and Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) information. *GWAS Functional SNP Selection (GenomePipe):Functional SNP selection from SNPs that are in high LD with GWAS SNPs *GWAS SNP Selection in Linkage Loci (LinkagePipe):GWAS SNP selection in candidate genomic regions (such as linkage loci) *LD TAG SNP Selection (TagSNP):LD tag SNP selection and visualization for single or multiple populations. Finalization of SNP list from various queries. *SNP Function Prediction (FuncPred): Querying SNP function predictions and ethnic-specific allele frequencies. *SNP Information in DNA Sequence (SNPseq):Visualization of SNP related information in the context of DNA sequence. Preparing DNA Sequence for PCR Primer Design considering SNP information. Detailed information of CpG region.
