General-purpose program for modelling admixture, using marker genotypes and trait data on a sample of individuals from an admixed population (such as African-Americans), where the markers have been chosen to have extreme differentials in allele frequencies between two or more of the ancestral populations between which admixture has occurred. The main difference between ADMIXMAP and classical programs for estimation of admixture such as ADMIX is that ADMIXMAP is based on a multilevel model for the distribution of individual admixture in the population and the stochastic variation of ancestry on hybrid chromosomes. This makes it possible to model the associations of ancestry between linked marker loci, and the association of a trait with individual admixture or with ancestry at a linked marker locus.

A collection of content, including podcasts and blogs, to advance life science research, connecting people and ideas in the life sciences. Mendelspod creates a space for probing conversations and deep insight into the topics and trends which shape the industry''s future and therefore our future as a species. The podcasts are engaging, thoughtful thirty minute shows twice a week on highly relevant topics to those working around the life sciences. Their format enables them to go in depth with scientists who are leaders in their field, or CEOs of high growth companies to explore trends and the latest technologies. At Mendelspod, they offer a front row seat to the revolution going on in biology, putting a human face on some complicated, highly technical topics. Here you can tune in to hear Steve Burrill give his ''state of the industry'' overview, or listen to George Church talk about art and science, or find out how the latest developments in NGS are helping in the war on cancer. The blogs cover the latest trends and products, and can be entertaining. Guest bloggers featured and welcomed.

A curated knowledge base of the circuitry of the hippocampus of normal adult, or adolescent, rodents at the mesoscopic level of neuronal types. Knowledge concerning dentate gyrus, CA3, CA2, CA1, subiculum, and entorhinal cortex is distilled from published evidence and is continuously updated as new information becomes available. Each reported neuronal property is documented with a pointer to, and excerpt from, relevant published evidence, such as citation quotes or illustrations. Please note: This is an alpha-testing site. The content is still being vetted for accuracy and has not yet undergone peer-review. As such, it may contain inaccuracies and should not (yet) be trusted as a scholarly resource. The content does not yet appear uniformly across all combinations of browsers and screen resolutions.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 29, 2014. Data set of disaccharides accessible by selecting the families implied in the glycosidic bond and the type of carbons involved. For each disaccharide, conformations of lower energy are then visualized with the Ramachadran diagram, the three-dimensional structure and the values of the corresponding Phi and Psi angles.

Service that generates Ramachandran-like plots of carbohydrate linkage torsions in pdb-files. The Ramachandran Plot, where backbone torsion angles are plotted against each other, is a frequently used tool to evaluate the quality of a protein 3D structure. For carbohydrate structures, linkage torsions can be evaluated in a similar way. Preferred Phi/Psi values of the torsion angles of glycosidic bonds depend strongly on the types of monosaccharides involved in the linkage, the kind of linkage (1-3, 1-4, etc) as well as the degree of branching of the structure. CARP analyses carbohydrate data given in PDB files using the pdb2linucs algorithm. For each different linkage type a separate plot is generated. The user can choose between two sources for plot background information for comparison: data obtained from PDB provided by GlyTorsion or from GlycoMapsDB. GlycoMapsDB provides calculated conformational maps, which show energetically preferred regions for a specific linkage, while PDB data are based on experimentally solved structures. For seldom occuring linkages, however, PDB data are often rare, so maybe not sufficient background information for comparison will be available from this source., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Database of age-related changes covering different biological levels, including molecular, physiological, psychological and pathological age-related data, to create an interactive portal that serves as a centralized collection of human aging changes and pathologies. To facilitate integrative, system-level studies of aging, the DAA provides a centralized source for aging-related data as well as basic tools to query and visualize the data, including anatomical models. Data in the DAA is manually curated from the literature and retrieved from public databases. For more detailed analyses users are able to download the entire database. More information on how to use the DAA is available on the help page. The DAA primarily focuses on human aging, but also includes supplementary mouse data, in particular gene expression data, to enhance and expand the information on human aging. If you would like to contribute to the database yourself, for instance if you have new data on aging, please use the contribute page to submit your data.

Randomized controlled trial being conducted at two clinical centers in the United States to learn more about the effects of weight loss on urinary incontinence. About 330 overweight women aged 30 or older will participate and will be followed for 18 months. Efficacy of weight reduction as a treatment for urinary incontinence will be examined at 6 months following the intensive weight control program, and the sustained impact of the intervention will be examined at 18 months. To increase the maintenance of weight reduction and facilitate evaluation of the enduring impact of weight loss on urinary incontinence, they propose to study a motivation-based weight maintenance program. At the end of the intensive weight control program, women randomized to the weight loss program will be randomized to either a 12-month skill-based maintenance intervention or to a motivation-based maintenance intervention. The maintenance interventions maximize the potential for sustained weight loss and will allow them to determine if long-term weight reduction will produce continued improvement in urinary incontinence.
