Swedish study to get a better understanding of how genes, environment and way of life affect health that will enable access to the longitudinal data on 500,000 participants after ethical approval. Half a million people in Sweden between the ages of 0 and 45 will be recruited as volunteers for 6 to 8 years. People between 18 and 45 will be invited and they may, in turn, bring children and other people that they live with into the project. Participants will be followed for many years with regular online surveys and health checks. Their blood and urine samples will also be stored in a biobank. All the data will form a very large information base, where researchers can follow what happens with people''''s health. The LifeGene test center will measure height, hip, waist and chest measurements. A so-called spirometry test will be conducted which measures lung function, a hearing test and bioimpedance measurement (includes weight, BMI and distribution of body fat and muscle mass). They also take blood and urine samples and measure blood pressure and pulse. LifeGene foresees a lot of different research cooperation. Everything from simple withdrawal of longitudinal data, leverage of LifeGene infrastructure and cooperation between LifeGene and complementing scientific projects covering specific areas in more depth. LifeGene will enable access to unique longitudinal data on 500,000 participants available for researchers after ethical approval. LifeGene is also an infrastructure with Test Centers covering most of Sweden, logistics for sample management from arm-to-freezer and state-of-the-art large scale automatic biobanking enabling low cost, high quality, fast withdrawal of biological samples.

Biorepository of tissues and fluids relevant for the neurologic, neuropsychologic, psychiatric and neuropathologic manifestations of HIV infection, linked to medical records and an on-going clinical trial for research use by the scientific community. The MHBB conducts a longitudinal, observational study that follows a group of HIV-infected individuals who have agreed to be fluid and organ donors for the purposes of AIDS research. They are currently the largest, multidisciplinary neuroAIDS cohort in New York City, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Research participants undergo regular neurologic, neuropsychologic, and psychiatric evaluations, and provide body fluid samples that are linked to clinical information. Upon their demise, study participants become organ donors. This program has supplied clinical information, tissue, and fluid samples to over 70 qualified AIDS researchers across America, Europe and Australia. In fulfilling its resource mission, the MHBB functions as part of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). MHBB provides a means by which people living with HIV can be engaged in the struggle to improve our knowledge about HIV infection and the damage it causes to the body.

A manually curated database of enzyme-catalyzed and spontaneous chemical reactions. It provides a hierarchical representation of metabolic pathways and a controlled vocabulary for pathway annotation in UniProtKB. UniPathway data are cross-linked to existing metabolic resources such as ChEBI/Rhea, KEGG and MetaCyc. Users may do a quick search, browse pathway, browse compound, or browse organism.

The web portal provides comprehensive local database of human genome variants with a user-friendly web page that provides a one-stop annotating and funtonal prediction service which is both convenient and up-to-date. A query can be accepted as either a dbSNP Id or a chromosomal location and our system will instantly provide all the annotation information in an interactive LD panel. The system can also simultaneously prioritize this variant based on additive effect mode by corresponding annotation information and evaluate the variant effect that is then displayed in a prioritization tree. Furthermore, cohort sequencing continuously produces lots of un-annotated variants such as rare variants or de novo variants, and our system can even fit this data by accepting genomic coordinates (hg19) to offer maximal annotations. Main Functions Over 40 up-to-date annotation items for human single nucleotide variations; Functional prediction for different types of variants; Dynamic LD panel for both HapMap and 1000 Genomes Project populations; Prioritization score and tree viewer based on variant functional model.

Science in the Open: This blog contains the thoughts of Cameron Neylon on the technical and social issues involved with ''Open Research''. Most people would agree Open Research includes freely accessible literature or perhaps making raw data available. Others might think it also involves people working on collaborative documents such as Wikis or the freedom to re-use the published literature or data. At its logical extreme Open Research includes making all the details of what we do freely available as it happens. Many people find this scarey. Some, perhaps a growing number, find it tremendously exciting.

A consortium of university groups to characterize human immune populations. The Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC) program, established in 2010 by the NIAID Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation, is a major collaborative effort that is generating large amounts of cross-center and cross-assay data including high-dimensional data to characterize the status of the immune system in diverse populations under both normal conditions and in response to stimuli. This large data problem has given birth to ImmuneSpace, a powerful data management and analysis engine where datasets can be easily explored and analyzed using state-of-the-art computational tools.
