Narayana Hrudayalaya Tissue Bank and Stem Cell Research Center (NHTB-SCRC) is a joint venture between Rotary Bangalore Health City (RBHC) and Narayana Hrudayalaya. Our mission is to create awareness on Cord Blood Banking among the masses. Our vision is to make sure that every pregnant mother in India is able to afford to bank her child''s cord blood and cord tissue in a novel form of ������??Biological Insurance������??. The center would also assist in research and development of newer stem cell therapies. These goals are met while ensuring patient safety and well being by maintaining compliance with ICMR guidelines, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, strict confidentiality and adherence to ethical standards. The private cord blood bank would store cord-blood and cord tissue derived stem cells for the exclusive use of clients who would pay for the cryo-storage, for a period of 21 years. These samples would be used for the child or its siblings anytime in the future, for therapy of various medical conditions. The public cord blood bank would enable us to collect cord blood from delivery and birthing centers, process these specimens, type their HLA signature and store them in ultra-low temperature conditions for use on prospective recipients. These recipients would have to be matched against their HLA signature with the stored stem cell concentrate. Patients with a disease treatable by stem cell therapy would have to have their HLA type known and they approach us for treatment. Such patients would be matched against our library of samples to identify a suitable match which would then be issued at a nominal cost. The cost of therapy would however be separate and informed to the patient before embarking on the treatment.

Radiopaedia is a rapidly growing open-edit radiology resource which has been primarily complied by radiologists and radiology residents / registrars / fellows from across the globe. Our mission is to create the best radiology reference available, and to make it available for free, forever, for all. It is designed to facilitate a meaningful collaboration between contributing users from across the globe, as well as allow non-contributors to browse through thousands of articles and interesting and illustrative cases as well as get involved in editing or adding content. Radiopaedia.org has two major components: 1. articles and 2. cases. Articles are entirely collaborative and cover any and all topics relevant to the practice of radiology. Cases belong to the contributing user, and are shared with the site, allowing them to be included in articles, as well as used in tutorials or quiz mode. While the primary aim of Radiopaedia.org is to allow the creation of an up to date resource for the radiology community, it is also about creating a community. It is focused on bringing together like-minded folk who can collaborate on Radiopaedia.org content as well as on other projects.

ICA is a quite powerful technique and is able (in principle) to separate independent sources linearly mixed in several sensors. For instance, when recording electroencephalograms (EEG) on the scalp, ICA can separate out artifacts embeded in the data (since they are usually independent of each other). This page intends to explain ICA to researchers that want to understand it but only have a weak background both in matrix computation and information theory. Arnaud Delorme''s explanations are as intuitive as possible and based on practical examples from Matlab. He would value your feedback on this page.

HMMSeg is a program for the scale-specific segmention of continuous genomic data using hidden Markov models (HMMs). It can segment multiple datasets simultaneously. Scale-specificity is achieved via an optional smoothing step using wavelets. HMMSeg is written in Java and may be downloaded for unrestricted use. It has been tested on Windows and several Unix-type operating systems.

An open visualization tool for the display of matrix data. It is available for download or interactive web use. It is a simple but powerful program for making visualizations of microarray data and many other data types. It generates PNG formatted images from text files of data. It is fast, easy to use, and reasonably flexible. It can be used to generate publication-quality images, or to act as a image generator for web applications. Our group has found it useful for imaging all kinds of matrix-based data, not just microarray data.

An integrated cross-species anatomy ontology representing a variety of entities classified according to traditional anatomical criteria such as structure, function and developmental lineage. The ontology includes comprehensive relationships to taxon-specific anatomical ontologies, allowing integration of functional, phenotype and expression data. Uberon consists of over 10000 classes (March 2014) representing structures that are shared across a variety of metazoans. The majority of these classes are chordate specific, and there is large bias towards model organisms and human.

This tool will take a DNA sequence and find the large, non-overlapping open reading frames using the E.coli genetic code and the sites for all Type II and commercially available Type III restriction enzymes that cut the sequence just once. By default, only enzymes available from NEB are used, but other sets may be chosen. Just enter your sequence and submit. Further options will appear with the output. The maximum size of the input file is 1 MByte, and the maximum sequence length is 300 KBases. NEBcutter produces a variety of outputs including restriction enzyme maps, theoretical digests and links into the restriction enzyme database, REBASE (http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/rebase.html). Importantly, its table of recognition sites is updated daily from REBASE and it marks all sites that are potentially affected by DNA methylation (Dam, Dcm, etc.). Many options exist to choose the enzymes used for digestion, including all known specificities, subsets of those that are commercially available or sets of enzymes that produce compatible termini.

The CTB (Chernobyl Tissue Bank) is an international cooperation that collects, stores and disseminates biological samples from tumors and normal tissues from patients for whom the aetiology of their disease is known - exposure to radioiodine in childhood following the accident at the Chernobyl power plant. The main objective of this project is to provide a research resource for both ongoing and future studies of the health consequences of the Chernobyl accident. It seeks to maximize the amount of information obtained from small pieces of tumor by providing multiple aliquots of RNA and DNA extracted from well documented pathological specimens to a number of researchers world-wide and to conserve this valuable material for future generations of scientists. It exists to promote collaborative, rather than competitive, research on a limited biological resource. Tissue is collected to an approved standard operating procedure (SOP) and is snap frozen; the presence or absence of tumor is verified by frozen section. A representative paraffin block is also obtained for each case. Where appropriate, we also collect fresh and paraffin-embedded tissue from loco-regional metastases. Currently we do not issue tissue but provide extracted nucleic acid, paraffin sections and sections from tissue microarrays from this material. The project is coordinated from Imperial College, London and works with Institutes in the Russian Federation (the Medical Radiological Research Centre in Obninsk) and Ukraine (the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kiev) to support local scientists and clinicians to manage and run a tissue bank for those patients who have developed thyroid tumors following exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. Belarus was also initially included in the project, but is currently suspended for political reasons.
