Supports research and scholarship to improve the quality of life by providing funding for grants in three program areas: studying complex systems, understanding human cognition, and mathematical and complex systems approaches for brain cancer. Types of awards include Fellowship Awards, Scholar Awards, and Collaborative Awards. * Studying Complex Systems: This program supports scholarship and research directed toward the development of theoretical and mathematical tools that can be applied to the study of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded in this program will address issues in fields such as biology, biodiversity, climate, demography, epidemiology, technological change, economic development, governance, or computation. * Understanding Human Cognition: This program supports research studying how neural systems are linked to and support cognitive functions and how cognitive systems are related to an organism's (preferably human) observable behavior. Studies with model organisms should justify why such models were selected and how data obtained from models advances our understanding of human cognition. * Mathematical & Complex Systems Approaches for Brain Cancer: (Collaborative Activity Awards grant type only.) Despite some recent cause for optimism for advancing the clinical treatment of brain cancers, for many patients brain tumor remains a devastating diagnosis. Progress against this disease has been stymied by limited understandings of the molecular, metabolic, and physiological characteristics of human brain cancers across multiple temporal and spatial scales and by the failure of many preclinical models to predict patient responses.

In the early nineties it became evident that HIV infection was spreading widely in India and the national efforts for control of HIV infection needed to be backed by quality research. It was also realized that AIDS, being a multifaceted disease, needed multi-disciplinary research involving virology, immunology, microbiology, clinical research, epidemiology, field based trials and social and behavioral research. An Institute devoted exclusively to HIV/ AIDS that could undertake research of such a diversity and magnitude was established to meet this requirement. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) was established in October 1992 in Bhosari, Pune on a seven acre plot. The Institute has progressively expanded its activities in various aspects of research on HIV and AIDS through infra-structural development, capacity building & research programmes. The activities of NARI are supported by the ICMR & numerous extramural agencies. For the fiscal year 2005-2006 the ICMR allocated 5.66 crores for NARI. Additionally, over 13 crores have been generated through extramural sources. The Institute''s research activities are guided by a Scientific Advisory Committee which includes eminent scientists from varied disciplines. All research projects are reviewed & approved by the Ethics Committee which also ensures that research is conducted with highest ethical standards. Establishment of a Community Advisory Board which acts as an interface between the community and the researchers is a pioneering effort by NARI.

This database have been funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to produce shotgun sequence of the Tetraodon nigriviridis genome. The strategy involves Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing, in which sequence from the entire genome is generated. Whole genome shotgun libraries were prepared from Tetraodon genomic DNA obtained from the laboratory of Jean Weissenbach at Genoscope. Additional sequence data of approximately 2.5X coverage of Tetraodon has also been generated by Genoscope in plasmid and BAC end reads. Broad and Genoscope intend to pool their data and generate whole genome assemblies. Tetraodon nigroviridis is a freshwater pufferfish of the order Tetraodontiformes and lives in the rivers and estuaries of Indonesia, Malaysia and India. This species is 20-30 million years distant from Fugu rubripes, a marine pufferfish from the same family. The gene repertoire of T. nigroviridis is very similar to that of other vertebrates. However, its relatively small genome of 385 Mb is eight times more compact than that of human, mostly because intergenic and intronic sequences are reduced in size compared to other vertebrate genomes. These genome characteristics along with the large evolutionary distance between bony fish and mammals make Tetraodon a compact vertebrate reference genome - a powerful tool for comparative genetics and for quick and reliable identification of human genes.

Alternative splicing essentially increases the diversity of the transcriptome and has important implications for physiology, development and the genesis of diseases. This resource uses a different approach to investigate alternative splicing (instead of the conventional case-by case fashion) and integrates all transcripts derived from a gene into a single splicing graph. ASG is a database of splicing graphs for human genes, using transcript information from various major sources (Ensembl, RefSeq, STACK, TIGR and UniGene). Each transcript corresponds to a path in the graph, and alternative splicing is displayed by bifurcations. This representation preserves the relationships between different splicing variants and allows us to investigate systematically all possible putative transcripts. Web interface allows users to display the splicing graphs, to interactively assemble transcripts and to access their sequences as well as neighboring genomic regions. ASG also provide for each gene, an exhaustive pre-computed catalog of putative transcriptsin total more than 1.2 million sequences. It has found that ~65 of the investigated genes show evidence for alternative splicing, and in 5 of the cases, a single gene might produce over 100 transcripts.

CREB target gene database that uses a multi-layered approach to predict, validate and characterize CREB target genes. For each gene, the database tries to provide the following information: 1. CREB binding sites on the promoters 2. Promoter occupancy by CREB 3. Gene activation by cAMP in tissues CREB seems to occupy a large number of promoters in the genome (up to ~5000 in human), and the profiles for CREB promoter occupancy are very similar in different human tissues. However, only a small proportion of CREB occupied genes are induced by cAMP in any cell type, possibly reflecting the requirement of additional regulatory partners that assist in recruitment of the transcriptional apparatus. To use the database, choose the species, select the table you want to search, leave field (''All'') and type in the gene you want to search. A table listing the search results will be returned, followed by the description of the table. If no search result is returned, try the official gene symbol or gene ID (locuslink number) from NCBI Entrez Gene to search. Sponsors: This work was supported by National Institutes of Health Grants GM RO1-037828 (to M.M.) and DK068655 (to R.A.Y.).
