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.

EVEX is a text mining resource built on top of PubMed abstracts and PubMed Central full texts. It contains over 40 million bio-molecular events among more than 76 million automatically extracted gene/protein name mentions. The text mining data further has been enriched with gene normalization results, allowing straightforward integration with external resources. Further, gene families from Ensembl and HomoloGene provide homology-based event generalizations. EVEX presents both direct and indirect associations between genes and proteins, enabling explorative browsing of relevant literature.

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.

A Python library for analysis of mouse behavior. The library can be used for loading and analyzing of data obtained from IntelliCage system in an intuitive way in Python programming language. The library provides users with an object oriented application programming interface (API) and a data abstraction layer. It also comes with auxiliary tools supporting development of analysis workflows. Any published research making use of PyMICE must provide the PyMICE resource identifier (RRID:nlx_158570).

The project will focus on patients with a rare disease and their families and patients with cancer. The first samples for sequencing are being taken from patients living in England with discussions taking place with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland about potential future involvement. Genomics England, a company wholly owned and funded by the Department of Health, was set up to deliver this flagship project which will sequence 100,000 whole genomes from NHS patients by 2017. Its four main aims are; to create an ethical and transparent programme based on consent; to bring benefit to patients and set up a genomic medicine service for the NHS; to enable new scientific discovery and medical insights; and to kick start the development of a UK genomics industry.

A public repository of metabolite information as well as tandem mass spectrometry data is provided to facilitate metabolomics experiments. It contains structures and represents a data management system designed to assist in a broad array of metabolite research and metabolite identification. An annotated list of known metabolites and their mass, chemical formula, and structure are available. Each metabolite is linked to outside resources for further reference and inquiry. MS/MS data is also available on many of the metabolites.

A biopharmaceutical company that focuses on central nervous system (CNS) diseases. The company is the result of a merger between Alkermes, Inc. and Elan Drug Technologies (EDT), the former drug formulation and manufacturing division of Elan Corporation, plc. The company is headquartered in Dublin, and has an R&D center in Waltham, Massachusetts and manufacturing facilities in Athlone, Ireland; Gainesville, Georgia; and Wilmington, Ohio. Alkermes has more than 20 commercial drug products and candidates that address serious and chronic diseases such as addiction, schizophrenia, diabetes and depression. Among these, five products are primary to the company: risperidone Long-Acting Injection (Risperdal Consta) for schizophrenia and bipolar 1 disorder, paliperidone palmitate (Invega Sustenna in the U.S., Xeplion in Europe) for schizophrenia, 4-aminopyridine (Ampyra in the U.S., Fampyra in Europe) to improve walking in patients with multiple sclerosis, naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension (Vivitrol) for alcohol and opioid dependence, and exenatide extended-release for injectable suspension (Bydureon) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Bydureon is a once-weekly, long-acting form of the drug exenatide (Byetta) and was developed through a partnership between Amylin, Alkermes and Eli Lilly. It is approved in Europe and the U.S. (Wikipedia)
