Database of large pools of data relevant to the mission of NIDDKwith the goal of developing a community-based network for integration across disciplines to include the larger DKuniverse of diseases, investigators, and potential users. The focus is on greater use of this data with the objective of adding value by breaking down barriers between sites to facilitate linking of different datasets. To date (2013/06/10), a total of 1,195 resources have been associated with one or more genes. Of 11,580 total genes associated with resources, the ten most represented are associated with 359 distinct resources. The main method by which they currently interconnect resources between the providers is via EntrezGene identifiers. A total of 780 unique genes provide the connectivity between 3,159 resource pairs across consortia. To further increase interconnectivity, the groups have been further annotating their data with additional gene identifiers, publications, and ontology terms from selected Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO).

BiblioSpec enables the identification of peptides from tandem mass spectra by searching against a database of previously identified spectra. This suite of software tools is for creating and searching MS/MS peptide spectrum libraries. BiblioSpec is available free of charge for noncommercial use through an interactive web-site at http://depts.washington.edu/ventures/UW_Technology/Express_Licenses/bibliospec.php The BiblioSpec package contains the following programs: * BlibBuild creates a library of peptide MS/MS spectra from MS2 files. * BlibFilter removes redundant spectra from a library. * BlibSearch searches a spectrum library for matches to query spectra, reporting the results in an SQT file. In addition to the primary programs, the following auxiliary programs are available: * BlibStats writes summary statistics describing a library. * BlibToMS2 writes a library in MS2 file format. * BlibUpdate adds, deletes, or annotates spectra. * BlibPpMS2 processes spectra (bins peaks, removes noise, normalizes intensity) as done in BlibSearch and prints the resulting spectra to a text file. Several reference libraries are available for download. These libraries are updated regularly and are for use under the Linux operating system. You will find libraries for * Escherichia coli * Saccharomyces cerevisiae * Caenorhabditis elegans

An accurate and reliable method for identifying athletes with head trauma, and a strong candidate rapid sideline screening test for concussion. The test is able to capture impairments of eye movement, attention, language and other symptoms of impaired brain function. It is a physical method of evaluating visual tracking and saccadic eye movements is based on the time to perform rapid number naming. It involves reading aloud a series of single digit numbers from left to right on three test cards. Participants are asked to read the numbers on each card from left to right as quickly as possible but without making any errors. The sum of the three test card time scores constitutes the summary score for the entire test. The test is a proven indicator of oculomotor inefficiencies regarding eye movements during reading. Published medical studies have determined that deficiencies in saccadic eye movements can be an indicator of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) or concussions. Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between poor oculomotor functions and learning disabilities (including dyslexia detection). Saccadic eye movement deficiencies can be improved with training and correspondingly reading performance also can be improved. Simply put, subjects who don''t perform well on this test are not efficient readers, although because there are many reasons for poor reading unrelated to eye movements, some poor readers do fine on the test. They believe that the test should be in the hands of teachers in order to help them determine if a student''s poor reading performance is related to deficiencies in their ability to move their eyes efficiently.

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/percolator/

Percolator post-processes the results of a shotgun proteomics database search program, re-ranking peptide-spectrum matches so that the top of the list is enriched for correct matches. Shotgun proteomics uses liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to identify proteins in complex biological samples. We describe an algorithm, called Percolator, for improving the rate of peptide identifications from a collection of tandem mass spectra. Percolator uses semi-supervised machine learning to discriminate between correct and decoy spectrum identifications, correctly assigning peptides to 17% more spectra from a tryptic dataset and up to 77% more spectra from non-tryptic digests, relative to a fully supervised approach. The yeast-01 data is available in tab delimetered format. The SEQUEST parameter file and target database for the yeast and worm data are also available.

http://toolkit.tuebingen.mpg.de/hhpred

The primary aim in developing HHpred was to provide biologists with a method for sequence database searching and structure prediction that is as easy to use as BLAST or PSI-BLAST and that is at the same time much more sensitive in finding remote homologs. In fact, HHpred''s sensitivity is competitive with the most powerful servers for structure prediction currently available. HHpred is the first server that is based on the pairwise comparison of profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). Whereas most conventional sequence search methods search sequence databases such as UniProt or the NR, HHpred searches alignment databases, like Pfam or SMART. This greatly simplifies the list of hits to a number of sequence families instead of a clutter of single sequences. All major publicly available profile and alignment databases are available through HHpred.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. A web program that organizes lists of genes of interest (for example, under- and overexpressed genes from a microarray experiment) for biological interpretation in the context of the Gene Ontology and automates the analysis of multiple microarrays then integrates the results across all of them in exportable output files and visualizations. High-Throughput GoMiner is an enhancement of GoMiner and is implemented with both a command line interface and a web interface. The program can also: efficiently perform automated batch processing of an arbitrary number of microarrays; produce a human- or computer-readable report that rank-orders the multiple microarray results according to the number of significant GO categories; integrate the multiple microarray results by providing organized, global clustered image map visualizations of the relationships of significant GO categories; provide a fast form of false discovery rate multiple comparisons calculation; and provide annotations and visualizations for relating transcription factor binding sites to genes and GO categories.

Database of bibliographic details of over 9,000 references published between 1951 and the present day, and includes abstracts, journal articles, book chapters and books replacing the two former separate websites for Ian Stolerman's drug discrimination database and Dick Meisch's drug self-administration database. Lists of standardized keywords are used to index the citations. Most of the keywords are generic drug names but they also include methodological terms, species studied and drug classes. This index makes it possible to selectively retrieve references according to the drugs used as the training stimuli, drugs used as test stimuli, drugs used as pretreatments, species, etc. by entering your own terms or by using our comprehensive lists of search terms. Drug Discrimination Drug Discrimination is widely recognized as one of the major methods for studying the behavioral and neuropharmacological effects of drugs and plays an important role in drug discovery and investigations of drug abuse. In Drug Discrimination studies, effects of drugs serve as discriminative stimuli that indicate how reinforcers (e.g. food pellets) can be obtained. For example, animals can be trained to press one of two levers to obtain food after receiving injections of a drug, and to press the other lever to obtain food after injections of the vehicle. After the discrimination has been learned, the animal starts pressing the appropriate lever according to whether it has received the training drug or vehicle; accuracy is very good in most experiments (90 or more correct). Discriminative stimulus effects of drugs are readily distinguished from the effects of food alone by collecting data in brief test sessions where responses are not differentially reinforced. Thus, trained subjects can be used to determine whether test substances are identified as like or unlike the drug used for training. Drug Self-administration Drug Self-administration methodology is central to the experimental analysis of drug abuse and dependence (addiction). It constitutes a key technique in numerous investigations of drug intake and its neurobiological basis and has even been described by some as the gold standard among methods in the area. Self-administration occurs when, after a behavioral act or chain of acts, a feedback loop results in the introduction of a drug or drugs into a human or infra-human subject. The drug is usually conceptualized as serving the role of a positive reinforcer within a framework of operant conditioning. For example, animals can be given the opportunity to press a lever to obtain an infusion of a drug through a chronically-indwelling venous catheter. If the available dose of the drug serves as a positive reinforcer then the rate of lever-pressing will increase and a sustained pattern of responding at a high rate may develop. Reinforcing effects of drugs are distinguishable from other actions such as increases in general activity by means of one or more control procedures. Trained subjects can be used to investigate the behavioral and neuropharmacological basis of drug-taking and drug-seeking behaviors and the reinstatement of these behaviors in subjects with a previous history of drug intake (relapse models). Other applications include evaluating novel compounds for liability to produce abuse and dependence and for their value in the treatment of drug dependence and addiction. The bibliography is updated about four times per year.

RIKEN Arabidopsis Transposon mutants is a series of mutant lines which have a Ds transposon in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana Nssen ecotype (background by Fedoroff and Smith). This web page provides information on the mutants produced in our laboratory. Each mutant line is assigned by stipulated line codes (ex. 13-4480-1). We determined the flanking sequences of Ds insertion for each independent line. Transposon insertion sites of mutants were estimated by a BLASTN homology against the genome sequence database of Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia ecotype. The closest genes (predicted by AGI) to the transposon insertion sites were picked up. The results of the BLASTP homology search against the nr database of NCBI for the closest genes have been collected for keyword searches.
