The only national patient waiting list and an online database system, called UNet, that links all of the professionals involved in the donation and transplantation system for the collection, storage, analysis, and publication of all OPTN data pertaining to the patient waiting list, organ matching, and transplants. The system contains data regarding every organ donation and transplant event occurring in the U.S. since October 1, 1987. UNet is a fail-safe, 24/7, secure Internet-based transplant information database created to enable the nation''''s organ transplant institutions to: * register patients for transplants * match donated organs to waiting patients * manage the time-sensitive, life-critical data of all patients, before and after their transplants Data reports are available by type: National Data, Regional Data, State Data, Center Data, Build Advanced Report, and Annual Report Data. UNet is being used right now by all of the nation''''s organ transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, and histocompatibility (tissue typing) laboratories working cooperatively to efficiently share a limited number of donated organs among thousands of patients.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on November 22, 2023. A database containing genomic/biological information on anopheline mosquitoes, with an emphasis on Anopheles gambiae, the world''''s most important malaria vector. AnoBase is an integrated, relational database of basic biological and genetic data on anopheline species, with a particular emphasis on Anopheles gambiae. It has been designed as an information source and research support tool for the broad vector biology community. Although AnoBase is not a primary genomic database that develops and provides tools to access the genome of the malaria mosquito, it nevertheless contains several sections that offer data of genomic interest such as in situ hybridization images, an integrated gene tool and direct online access to AnoXcel, the proteomic database of An. gambiae. Moreover, AnoBase also contains information on non-gambiae mosquito species and a novel section on studies related to insecticide resistance.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 10, 2025. Semantic wiki with structured information, primarily from functional and molecular neuroimaging papers, but there are also other types of papers, e.g., from personality genetics. It lists results from neuroimaging studies, such as Talairach coordinates and brain volume measurements, as well as software packages and brain regions. SQL dumps of the structured information in the wiki is available so complex queries can be formed. The Brede Wiki templates store the structured information from neuroscience papers and editors may add free format text. Template definitions format the data so it is presented as tables on the formatted wiki-page. From a given PMID a web-service can format information from PubMed for inclusion in the Brede Wiki. A Matlab script can extract coordinates from SPM5 and format them in the Talairach coordinate template format.

We define a simple method to detect cortical states that can be applied in real time for offline processing of large amounts of recorded data on conventional computers. Also, the online detection of up and down states will facilitate the study of cortical dynamics. An open-source MATLAB toolbox, and Spike 2-compatible version are made freely available. Intracellular recordings from different areas of the cerebral cortex were obtained from both in vitro and in vivo preparations during slow oscillations. A method that separates up and down states recorded intracellularly is defined and analyzed here. The method exploits the crossover of moving averages, such that transitions between up and down membrane regimes can be anticipated based on recent and past voltage dynamics. We demonstrate experimentally the utility and performance of this method both offline and online, the online use allowing to trigger stimulation or other events in the desired period of the rhythm. This technique is compared with a histogram-based approach that separates the states by establishing one or two discriminating membrane potential levels. The robustness of the method presented here is tested on data that departs from highly regular alternating up and down states. The neuronal cortical network generates slow (<1 Hz) spontaneous rhythmic activity that emerges from the recurrent connectivity. This activity occurs during slow wave sleep or anesthesia and also in cortical slices, consisting of alternating up (active, depolarized) and down (silent, hyperpolarized) states. The search for the underlying mechanisms and the possibility of analyzing network dynamics in vitro has been subject of numerous studies. This exposes the need for a detailed quantitative analysis of the membrane fluctuating behavior and computerized tools to automatically characterize the occurrence of up and down states.

Software package that takes exon boundaries and RNA-Seq data as input to discern the set of mRNA isoforms that are most likely to present in an RNA-Seq sample. It is based on a linear model with a design matrix that models the sampling probability of RNA-Seq reads from different mRNA isoforms. To tackle the model unidentifiability issue, SLIDE uses a modified Lasso procedure for parameter estimation. Compared with deterministic isoform assembly algorithms (e.g., Cufflinks), SLIDE considers the stochastic aspects of RNA-Seq reads in exons from different isoforms and thus has increased power in detecting more novel isoforms. Another advantage of SLIDE is its flexibility of incorporating other transcriptomic data such as RACE, CAGE, and EST into its model to further increase isoform discovery accuracy. SLIDE can also work downstream of other RNA-Seq assembly algorithms to integrate newly discovered genes and exons. Besides isoform discovery, SLIDE sequentially uses the same linear model to estimate the abundance of discovered isoforms.

VIRsiRNAdb is a curated database of experimentally validated viral siRNA / shRNA targeting diverse genes of 42 important human viruses including influenza, SARS and Hepatitis viruses. Submissions are welcome. Currently, the database provides detailed experimental information of 1358 siRNA/shRNA which includes siRNA sequence, virus subtype, target gene, GenBank accession, design algorithm, cell type, test object, test method and efficacy (mostly quantitative efficacies). Further, wherever available, information regarding alternative efficacies of above 300 siRNAs derived from different assays has also been incorporated. The database has facilities like search, advance search (using Boolean operators AND, OR) browsing (with data sorting option), internal linking and external linking to other databases (Pubmed, Genbank, ICTV). Additionally useful siRNA analysis tools are also provided e.g. siTarAlign for aligning the siRNA sequence with reference viral genomes or user defined sequences. virsiRNAdb would prove useful for RNAi researchers especially in siRNA based antiviral therapeutics development.
