Hi. I''m genegeek (aka Catherine Anderson). I realized during my PostDoc that I preferred learning and explaining new results to doing science so I started a non-traditional career of teaching and outreach. I''ll be using this space to explore public perception of genetics and other cool molecular biology stuff. I hope to add to the great discussions re: new science discoveries and general understanding of genetics. I''ve been running an outreach program and enjoy talking to non-experts about their opinions and understanding. I hope my enthusiasm for the topics can come through the screen. My posts are presented as opinion and commentary and do not represent the views of LabSpaces Productions, LLC, my employer, or my educational institution.

http://blogs.nejm.org/now/

A blog produced by the NEJM publishing communications team about new and innovative content in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM.org). Our goal is to inform you about what''s new and provide some additional context to complement the content published in NEJM. Each week we post a piece under Insights about one of the latest research papers in NEJM, discussing its clinical significance, where it may lead us in practice and research, and often giving an editor''s thoughts about why it was important to publish. We pose questions to stimulate your thinking and discussion. The idea is to make it easy for you to give us your views on a particular topic and make the conversation accessible to other doctors and physicians-in-training. Posts contain links to the full article, which will be free to all visitors for a limited time. We also feature two posts from the Resident e-Bulletin each week, with an article summary, Clinical Pearls, and Morning Report Questions teaching points that many of you find so useful in your roles as teachers or trainees. The blog gives us a new way to distribute and store this educational information on the social web, again, inviting comment and discussion. You''ll also hear about new products and applications as we bring them out, such as new Interactive Medical Cases, or iPhone applications, like NEJM This Week and the Image Challenge. We link to videos on the NEJMvideo channel on YouTube, share our Twitter feed, and links to NEJM in the News, too. We''d like this to be an open forum, complementary to the core content of NEJM, engaging you in a new experience beyond the journal page in a more interactive community.

http://www.genedb.org/Homepage/Pfalciparum

Database of the most recent sequence updates and annotations for the P. falciparum genome. New annotations are constantly being added to keep up with published manuscripts and feedback from the Plasmodium research community. You may search by Protein Length, Molecular Mass, Gene Type, Date, Location, Protein Targeting, Transmembrane Helices, Product, GO, EC, Pfam ID, Curation and Comments, and Dbxrefs. BLAST and other tools are available. The P. falciparum 3D7 nuclear genome is 23.3 Mb in size, with a karyotype of 14 chromosomes. The G+C content is approximately 19%. The P. falciparum genome is undergoing re-annotation. This process started in October 2007 with a weeklong workshop co-organized by staff from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Intistute and the EuPathDB team. Ongoing curation and sequence checking is being carried out by the Pathogen Genomics group. Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly of the five Plasmodium species that cause human malaria. Malaria has a massive impact on human health; it is the worlds second biggest killer after tuberculosis. Around 300 million clinical cases occur each year resulting in between 1.5 - 2.7 million deaths annually, the majority in sub-saharan Africa. It is estimated that 3,000 children under the age of five years fall victim to malaria each day. Around 40% of the worlds population are at risk. In collaboration with EuPathDB, genomic sequence data and annotations are regularly deposited on PlasmoDB where they can be integrated with other datasets and queried using customized queries.

http://www.physionet.org/physiobank/database/gaitndd/

Database of records from patients with Parkinson's disease (n = 15), Huntington's disease (n = 20), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (n = 13). Records from 16 healthy control subjects are also included here. The raw data were obtained using force-sensitive resistors, with the output roughly proportional to the force under the foot. Stride-to-stride measures of footfall contact times were derived from these signals.

http://www.physionet.org/physiobank/database/gaitpdb/

Database that contains measures of gait from 93 patients with idiopathic PD (mean age: 66.3 years; 63% men), and 73 healthy controls (mean age: 66.3 years; 55% men). The database includes the vertical ground reaction force records of subjects as they walked at their usual, self-selected pace for approximately 2 minutes on level ground. Underneath each foot were 8 sensors (Ultraflex Computer Dyno Graphy, Infotronic Inc.) that measure force (in Newtons) as a function of time. The output of each of these 16 sensors has been digitized and recorded at 100 samples per second, and the records also include two signals that reflect the sum of the 8 sensor outputs for each foot. This database also includes demographic information, measures of disease severity (i.e., using the Hoehn & Yahr staging and/or the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) and other related measures (available in HTML or xls spreadsheet format). A subset of the database includes measures recorded as subjects performed a second task (serial 7 subtractions) while walking, which shows excerpts of swing time series from a patient with PD and a control subject, under usual walking conditions and when performing serial 7 subtractions. Under usual walking conditions, variability is larger in the patient with PD (Coefficient of Variation = 2.7%), compared to the control subject (CV = 1.3%). Variability increases during dual tasking in the subject with PD (CV = 6.5%), but not in the control subject (CV = 1.2%).

http://cocomac.g-node.org/main/index.php?

Online access (html or xml) to structural connectivity ("wiring") data on the Macaque brain. The database has become by far the largest of its kind, with data extracted from more than four hundred published tracing studies. The main database, contains data from tracing studies on anatomical connectivity in the macaque cerebral cortex. Also available are a variety of tools including a graphical simulation workbench, map displays and the CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer. Submissions are welcome. To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps ORT (Objective Relational Transformation) was developed, an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent way based on logical relations between areas in different brain maps. CoCoMac data is used to analyze the organization of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. This site * Provides full, scriptable open access to the data in CoCoMac (you must adhere to the citation policy) * Powers the graphical interface to CoCoMac provided by the Scalable Brain Atlas * Sports an extensive search/browse wizard, which automatically constructs complex search queries and lets you further explore the database from the results page. * Allows you to get your hands dirty, by using the custom SQL query service. * Displays connectivity data in tabular form, through the axonal projections service. CoCoMac 2 was initiated at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and is currently supported by the German neuroinformatics node and the Computational and Systems Neuroscience group at the Juelich research institute.

http://senselab.med.yale.edu/odormapdb

OdorMapDB is designed to be a database to support the experimental analysis of the molecular and functional organization of the olfactory bulb and its basis for the perception of smell. It is primarily concerned with archiving, searching and analyzing maps of the olfactory bulb generated by different methods. The first aim is to facilitate comparison of activity patterns elicited by odor stimulation in the glomerular layer obtained by different methods in different species. It is further aimed at facilitating comparison of these maps with molecular maps of the projections of olfactory receptor neuron subsets to different glomeruli, especially for gene targeted animals and for antibody staining. The main maps archived here are based on original studies using 2-deoxyglucose and on current studies using high resolution fMRI in mouse and rat. Links are also provided to sites containing maps by other laboratories. OdorMapDB thus serves as a nodal point in a multilaboratory effort to construct consensus maps integrating data from different methodological approaches. OdorMapDB is integrated with two other databases in SenseLab: ORDB, a database of olfactory receptor genes and proteins, and OdorDB, a database of odor molecules that serve as ligands for the olfactory receptor proteins. The combined use of the three integrated databases allows the user to identify odor ligands that activate olfactory receptors that project to specific glomeruli that are involved in generating the odor activity maps.
