http://pid.nci.nih.gov

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 27, 2016. Curated database of information about known biomolecular interactions and key cellular processes assembled into signaling pathways. All interactions are assembled into pathways, and can be accessed by performing searches for biomolecules, or processes, or by viewing predefined pathways. This was a collaborative project between the NCI and Nature Publishing Group (NPG) from 2006 until September 22nd, 2012, and is no longer being updated. PID is aimed at the cancer research community and others interested in cellular pathways, such as neuroscientists, developmental biologists, and immunologists. The database focuses on the biomolecular interactions that are known or believed to take place in human cells. It can be browsed as an online encyclopedia, used to run computational analyses, or employed in ways that combine these two approaches. In addition to PID''''s predefined pathways, search results are displayed as dynamically constructed interaction networks. These features of PID render it a useful tool for both biologists and bioinformaticians. PID offers a range of search features to facilitate pathway exploration. Users can browse the predefined set of pathways or create interaction network maps centered on a single molecule or cellular process of interest. In addition, the batch query tool allows users to upload long list(s) of molecules, such as those derived from microarray experiments, and either overlay these molecules onto predefined pathways or visualize the complete molecular connectivity map. Users can also download molecule lists, citation lists and complete database content in extensible markup language (XML) and Biological Pathways Exchange (BioPAX) Level 2 format. The database is supplemented by a concise editorial section that includes specially written synopses of recent important research articles in areas related to cancer research, and specially commissioned Bioinformatics Primers that provide practical advice on how to make the most of other relevant online resources. The database and editorial content are updated monthly, and users can opt to receive a monthly email alert to stay informed about new content. Note: as of September 23, 2012 the PID is no longer being actively curated. NCI will maintain the PID website and data for twelve months beyond September 2012 to allow interested parties to obtain the previously curated data before the site is retired in September 2013.

Cooperative program for research on nonhuman primate models of kidney, islet, heart, and lung transplantation evaluating the safety and efficacy of existing and new treatment regimens that promote the immune system''''s acceptance of a transplant and to understand why the immune system either rejects or does not reject a transplant. This program bridges the critical gap between small-animal research and human clinical trials. The program supports research into the immunological mechanisms of tolerance induction and development of surrogate markers for the induction, maintenance, and loss of tolerance.

The NIH Pain Consortium was established to enhance pain research and promote collaboration among researchers across the many NIH Institutes and Centers that have programs and activities addressing pain. To this end, the following goals have been identified for the Pain Consortium: * To develop a comprehensive and forward-thinking pain research agenda for the NIH - one that builds on what we have learned from our past efforts. * To identify key opportunities in pain research, particularly those that provide for multidisciplinary and trans-NIH participation. * To increase visibility for pain research - both within the NIH intramural and extramural communities, as well as outside the NIH. The latter audiences include our various pain advocacy and patient groups who have expressed their interests through scientific and legislative channels. * To pursue the pain research agenda through Public-Private partnerships, wherever applicable. This underscores a key dynamic that has been reinforced and encouraged through the Roadmap process.

http://inparanoid.sbc.su.se/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Collection of pairwise comparisons between 100 whole genomes generated by a fully automatic method for finding orthologs and in-paralogs between TWO species. Ortholog clusters in the InParanoid are seeded with a two-way best pairwise match, after which an algorithm for adding in-paralogs is applied. The method bypasses multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees, which can be slow and error-prone steps in classical ortholog detection. Still, it robustly detects complex orthologous relationships and assigns confidence values for in-paralogs. The original data sets can be downloaded.

http://platform.invbrain.neuroinf.jp/

Database of information on nervous systems and behavior of various species of invertebrates and a large body of ancillary material to promote the use of invertebrate systems in research and education and facilitate information transfer to engineers that are looking for mechanisms that may be useful to solve a wide range of technological problems. The database is linked to explanations of the contents to allow users to familiarize themselves with the data and the context in which they were obtained. The platform has four entrance points tailored to different target user groups. The first entrance point is designed for users that are interested in using invertebrates for research purposes, in particular in the field of neuroscience, to assist them in initiating research projects. This includes databases of sensory systems, brains, and behavior of invertebrates, especially insects. The databases contain sensory organ structure and function, photographs and movies documenting insect behavior, data acquisition equipment and other instrumentation, software, material for eduction, and bibliography. A second entrance point is available for those that are concerned with implementations of design principles of invertebrate nervous systems and behavior in industrial applications. The third portal is destined for providing quick access for instructors that intend to use invertebrates for educational purposes and the remaining entrance point facilitates obtaining general comparative information on sensory and central nervous systems and behavior of invertebrates.
