Atlas of gene expression in the developing rhesus macaque brain. This atlas is a free online resource with a unique set of data and tools aimed to create a developmental neuroanatomical framework for exploring the cellular and molecular architecture of the developing postnatal primate brain with direct relevance for human brain development. The atlas includes: * Microarray ** Microdissection: Fine structure transcriptional profiling across postnatal development for fine nuclear subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex, primary visual cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and ventral striatum ** Macrodissection: Gross structure transcriptional profiling across postnatal development for the same structures * ISH: ** Cellular resolution in situ hybridization image data of five major brain regions during postnatal developmental periods for genes clinically important for a variety of human neurodevelopmental disorders, including prefrontal cortex, primary visual cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and ventral striatum. ** Serial analysis of selected genes across the entire adult brain, focusing on cellular marker genes, genes with cortical area specificity and gene families important to neural function. * ISH Anatomic Search: Detailed gene expression search on the ISH data based on expert annotation * Reference Data: Developmental stage-specific reference series, consisting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Nissl histology to provide a neuroanatomical context for the gene expression data. These data and tools are designed to provide a valuable public resource for researchers and educators to explore neurodevelopment in non-human primates, and a key evolutionary link between other Web-based gene expression atlases for adult and developing mouse and human brain.

The Barth Syndrome Foundation, together with our affiliates, is a community of families, physicians, scientists, donors and volunteers around the world. As our mission statement says, we are dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment, and finding a cure for Barth syndrome - a sometimes fatal, oftentimes debilitating genetic disease. Our work includes: * Raising awareness among physicians, scientists, and the general public; * Supporting relevant research through an international grant research program; * Providing a caring and educational community for affected families; and * Hosting a unique information resource. Working together we are making a difference in the lives of children and their families. One day there will be a cure; we hope you will help us make that day come sooner. We are the only world-wide volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment and pursuit of a cure for Barth syndrome (BTHS). We started in 2000, after the first international conference held in Baltimore, MD (USA) where families from around the world met to discuss BTHS. As a result, we made a unanimous decision to work together to find a cure for this multi-system disorder. Our Foundation strives to accelerate progress through collaboration between families and scientists. We encourage family participation in research. Also, we provide several ways to keep up-to-date about advances in science and medicine. Our principal education event is our biennial international scientific, medical and family conference, which brings together the largest number of individuals interested in Barth syndrome. Our Family Services team is continually developing new informational resources in response to the needs of families, individuals, and professionals working with those affected by Barth syndrome.

The Autism Genetic Database currently contains the full list of autism susceptibility genes as well as all Copy Number Variations (CNVs) found to have a relationship to autism. Additionally, all noncoding RNA molecules (snoRNA, miRNA, and piRNA) and chemically induced fragile sites are stored as well. This information is currently accessible via an in-house human genome browser focusing specifically on the chromosomal features associated with autism, and in a tabular format broken down by chromosome. Genome Browser:A genome browser that displays the genes, CNVs, ncRNAs and fragile sites in an easily accessible graphical visualization tool Tabular Data Display:A tabular data display that allows the user to observe the chromosomal spatial relationship between the genes, CNVs, ncRNAs and fragile sites. This also provides links to Entrez and pubmed for each gene, as well as miRBase for miRNAs, snoRNA-LBME-db for snoRNAs, and piRNABank for piRNAs.

The aim is to develop a new visualization tool that allows effective comparative genome sequence analysis. The program will compare multiple sequences from putitatively homologous regions in different species. Results from various different existing analysis programs, such as gene prediction, protein homology and regulatory sequence prediction programs shall be visualized and used to find corresponding sequence domains. The program functions as an stand-alone application and also over the World Wide Web. With this in mind it is being developed using the Java programming language. A key feature of the program is to use available analysis programs relevant to comparative genome sequence analysis, combine the results of these, and graphically present them in an intuitive way, thereby facilitating the analysis of large genomic regions. We''ve decided to call this program Alfresco. We originally wanted to call it Fresco (FRont-End for Sequence COmparison) but that name was already taken. To run Alfresco you need to have jdk1.1 installed. Alfresco has only been tested on Solaris 2.5, Dec OSF 4.0D and Linux, but should run on any machine with jdk1.1. New: Alfresco now runs on Mac and Windows as well.

If Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, or Physical Therapy is not just a career choice for you - if it''s a calling - then you may belong at Creighton University. For our students, it''s about more than career training. It''s about serving patients. Restoring health. Changing lives. Health care is a serious career, perhaps a lifelong calling. Creighton seeks the cream of the crop for these programs - men and women who feel a genuine calling to serve patients, restore health, and save lives. There''s more for you in Omaha than a vibrant university community. It''s true that U.S. News & World Report lists us as among the best colleges in the Midwest. And that we''ve been educating health professionals for more than a century. We''re also home to one of the world''s leading medical communities. That means training in leading edge facilities and in one of the nation''s best teaching hospitals. Perhaps our greatest distinction, however, is our university-wide commitment to creating an ever better and more just world. You''ll find our PT doctoral students staffing a free clinic for the underserved our pharmacy students conducting drug and alcohol education seminars ... and our OT students volunteering for the Special Olympics. It''s all tied to the values we strive toward as a Jesuit institution.
