https://www.bioconductor.org/packages//2.12/bioc/html/dexus.html

Software package that identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. It works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. It does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power.

http://gmod.org/wiki/Flash_GViewer

Flash GViewer is a customizable Flash movie that can be easily inserted into a web page to display each chromosome in a genome along with the locations of individual features on the chromosomes. It is intended to provide an overview of the genomic locations of a specific set of features - eg. genes and QTLs associated with a specific phenotype, etc. rather than as a way to view all features on the genome. The features can hyperlink out to a detail page to enable to GViewer to be used as a navigation tool. In addition the bands on the chromosomes can link to defineable URL and new region selection sliders can be used to select a specific chromosome region and then link out to a genome browser for higher resolution information. Genome maps for Rat, Mouse, Human and C. elegans are provided but other genome maps can be easily created. Annotation data can be provided as static text files or produced as XML via server scripts. This tool is not GO-specific, but was built for the purpose of viewing GO annotation data. Platform: Online tool

Dataset of the spike and laser timestamps from Kravitz, Owen and Kretizer's 2012 paper "Optogenetic identification of striatal projection neuron subtypes during in vivo recordings." The code will analyze spike trains around laser pulses to determine if a cell is significantly activated by the laser, and therefore expresses an excitatory opsin, such as channelrhodopsin-2. It returns an excel sheet that simply identifies the activated cells.

Data set of the dense reconstruction of 950 neurons and their mutual contacts for the mouse inner plexiform layer--the main computational neuropil region in the mammalian retina. This was achieved by applying a combination of crowd-sourced manual annotation and machine-learning-based volume segmentation to serial block-face electron microscopy data. They characterize a new type of retinal bipolar interneuron and show that they can subdivide a known type based on connectivity. Circuit motifs that emerge from their data indicate a functional mechanism for a known cellular response in a ganglion cell that detects localized motion, and predict that another ganglion cell is motion sensitive. A Data browser is also available for download

Data sets of protein-coding intron-containing genes that contain gene information from humans, mice, rats, and other eukaryotes, as well as genes from species whose genomes have not been completely sequenced. This is a comprehensive and convenient dataset of sequences for computational biologists who study exon-intron gene structures and pre-mRNA splicing. The database is derived from GenBank release 112, and it contains protein-coding genes that harbor introns, along with extensive descriptions of each gene and its DNA and protein sequences, as well as splice motif information. They have created subdatabases of genes whose intron positions have been experimentally determined. The collection also contains data on untranslated regions of gene sequences and intron-less genes. For species with entirely sequenced genomes, species-specific databases have been generated. A novel Mammalian Orthologous Intron Database (MOID) has been introduced which includes the full set of introns that come from orthologous genes that have the same positions relative to the reading frames.

The Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine''s Tissue Culture Core provides cells for research use within the department, as well as for distribution to other facilities. The core obtains hMSCs from bone marrow donor samples and expands these cells for research use. The hMSC''s are also characterized for bone, fat and cartilage differentiation, and are stored on site for use. The Tissue Culture Core also handles the expansion and characterization of mouse and rat MSC''s. The animal cells are cultured in a separate area, and never interact with human derived cells. We also have a supply of hMSC''s marked with GFP+, Mito Red and Mito Blue available.
