http://pir.georgetown.edu/pirwww/dbinfo/pirsf.shtml

A SuperFamily classification system, with rules for functional site and protein name, to facilitate the sensible propagation and standardization of protein annotation and the systematic detection of annotation errors. The PIRSF concept is being used as a guiding principle to provide comprehensive and non-overlapping clustering of UniProtKB sequences into a hierarchical order to reflect their evolutionary relationships. The PIRSF classification system is based on whole proteins rather than on the component domains; therefore, it allows annotation of generic biochemical and specific biological functions, as well as classification of proteins without well-defined domains. There are different PIRSF classification levels. The primary level is the homeomorphic family, whose members are both homologous (evolved from a common ancestor) and homeomorphic (sharing full-length sequence similarity and a common domain architecture). At a lower level are the subfamilies which are clusters representing functional specialization and/or domain architecture variation within the family. Above the homeomorphic level there may be parent superfamilies that connect distantly related families and orphan proteins based on common domains. Because proteins can belong to more than one domain superfamily, the PIRSF structure is formally a network. The FTP site provides free download for PIRSF.

http://mouseNET.princeton.edu

A functional network for laboratory mouse based on integration of diverse genetic and genomic data. It allows the users to accurately predict novel functional assignments and network components. MouseNET uses a probabilistic Bayesian algorithm to identify genes that are most likely to be in the same pathway/functional neighborhood as your genes of interest. It then displays biological network for the resulting genes as a graph. The nodes in the graph are genes (clicking on each node will bring up SGD page for that gene) and edges are interactions (clicking on each edge will show evidence used to predict this interaction). Most likely, the first results to load on the results page will be a list of significant Gene Ontology terms. This list is calculated for the genes in the biological network created by the mouseNET algorithm. If a gene ontology term appears on this list with a low p-value, it is statistically significantly overrepresented in this biological network. The graph may be explored further. As you move the mouse over genes in the network, interactions involving these genes are highlighted.If you click on any of the highlighted interactions graph, evidence pop-up window will appear. The Evidence pop-up lists all evidence for this interaction, with links to the papers that produced this evidence - clicking these links will bring up the relevant source citation(s) in PubMed.

http://niftilib.sourceforge.net

Niftilib is a set of i/o libraries for reading and writing files in the nifti-1 data format. nifti-1 is a binary file format for storing medical image data, e.g. magnetic resonance image (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) brain images. Niftilib currently has C, Java, MATLAB, and Python libraries; we plan to add some MATLAB/mex interfaces to the C library in the not too distant future. Niftilib has been developed by members of the NIFTI DFWG and volunteers in the neuroimaging community and serves as a reference implementation of the nifti-1 file format. In addition to being a reference implementation, we hope it is also a useful i/o library. Niftilib code is released into the public domain, developers are encouraged to incorporate niftilib code into their applications, and, to contribute changes and enhancements to niftilib. Please contact us if you would like to contribute additonal functionality to the i/o library.

http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/LIPRO

An ontology that describes the LIPIDMAPS nomenclature classification explicitly using description logics (OWL-DL). Lipid classes are organized hierarchically with the super-classes restricted by generic necessary conditions. More specific necessary conditions are used to define membership requirements for sub classes of lipid according to appropriate functional groups. Lipid research is increasingly integrated within systems level biology such as lipidomics where lipid classification is required before appropriate annotation of chemical functions can be applied.

The Institute for Sensory Research (ISR) defines itself as a world class research center dedicated to the discovery and application of knowledge of the sensory systems. Integration of engineering, life, and physical sciences, combining rigorous experimental methodology with mathematical analysis is stressed. Our multidisciplinary approach to bioengineering, sensory neuroscience, graduate, and undergraduate education, makes ISR a unique academic research center. At ISR, we study sensory systems, our gateways to the world. Our ears, eyes, skin, and mouth are channels through which we experience sound, light, texture, etc. These are functions that we usually take for granted until problems arise. Engineers, scientists, and students at ISR investigate both the basic sensory principles used by the brain, and also how the sensory systems can be best utilized, modified, and repaired if necessary to better communicate with our surroundings and with one another. In addition to basic research in hearing, touch, vision, and oro-facial biomechanics, recent projects include the design and testing of sensory-aid devices such as cochlear implants, hearing aids, ear protectors, and tactile aids for the visually and hearing impaired. Additional projects involve visual-depth perception, chewing and swallowing, oto-acoustic emissions, and personal care products such as oral rinses and skin lotions.
