http://www.americanheart.org/

The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes medical scientific statements on various cardiovascular disease and stroke topics. AHA volunteer scientists and healthcare professionals write the papers. The statements are supported by scientific studies published in recognized journals and have a rigorous review and approval process. Scientific statements generally include a review of data available on a specific subject, an evaluation on its relationship to overall cardiovascular disease science, and often an American Heart Association position on the basis of that evaluation. The American Heart Association sponsors accredited scientific conferences and professional development seminars to disseminate new and emerging scientific knowledge and stimulate discussion on future research and the application of knowledge. Keywords: Heart, Cardiovascular, Disease, Stroke, Volunteer, Scientist, Healthcare, Development, Knowledge,

The Neurocommons project is an Open Source knowledge management platform for biological research. It seeks to make all scientific research materials - research articles, annotations, data, physical materials - as available and as usable as they can be. We do this by both fostering practices that render information in a form that promotes uniform access by computational agents - sometimes called interoperability. We want knowledge sources to combine meaningfully, enabling semantically precise queries that span multiple information sources. Our work covers general data and knowledge sources used in computational biology as well as sources specific to neuroscience and neuromedicine. The practices that we develop and promote are designed to play well on the Semantic Web. We view our technical work not as creating a new service or content library, although we do both, but rather as helping to promote the growth of semantically linked scientific information.

This portal takes you to the website of Professor Anne Chao of the National Tsing Hua University, China. She studies birds. The portal offers Software, course information, publications and teaching. There are about 458 bird species in Taiwan. We have observed 155 species in our neighboring Ker-Yar estuary. We would estimate the total number of species in this area to be 180 including those unobserved. The more we discover about birds, the more we realize how intimately and closely our lives are entwined with those of birds. When the habitats of birds are destroyed and birds become extinct, we human beings are losing the land....

http://www.cs.unm.edu/~moret/GRAPPA/

As fascinating as diversity is, it''s not the sort of thing that computational scientists usually get excited about. Uncovering how diversity came to be has captured the attention of a team of researchers at Alliance partner University of New Mexico and the University of Texas, though. Using the 512-processor LosLobos Linux Pentium III supercomputing cluster at the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center, the team has created a phylogeny reconstruction - or evolutionary history - of 12 bluebell species, predicting all of the steps that take these species back to a single common ancestor. To meet the challenge, they created a whole new piece of software known as GRAPPA. GRAPPA is is free software available as a gzipped tar file containing all source files needed to compile an executable version.

The Power Atlas is a web-based resource to assist investigators in the planning and design of microarray and expression based experiments. This software is currently aimed at estimating the power and sample size for a two group comparison based upon pilot data. The methods underlying the web site are reported in Gadbury et al (2004) and the software is described in further detail at Page et al (2006). There are two ways to use the Power Atlas: 1. We have downloaded the datasets currently in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and processed each of them with our power analysis software. Investigators may search among the datasets for the experiment that most closely resembles their proposed project and get sample size and power estimates. 2. Investigators may upload their own preliminary data and the program will extrapolate power from this dataset.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23, 2022. A collection of software modules for image data handling, pre-processing, segmentation, inspection, editing, post-processing, and secondary analysis. These modules can be scripted to accomplish a variety of automated image analysis tasks. All of the modules are written in accordance with software practices of the Insight Toolkit Community. Importantly, all modules are accessible through the Python scripting language which allows users to create scripts to accomplish sophisticated associative image analysis tasks over multi-dimensional microscopy image data. This language works on most computing platforms, providing a high degree of platform independence. Another important design principle is the use of standardized XML file formats for data interchange between modules.

Collection of software designed to analyze fMRI data using a series of processing steps. The input is the raw data, and the outputs are statistical brain maps showing regions of neural activation. Corrections for different systematic variations in the k-space (raw) data obtained from an fMRI session (head motion, ghosting, etc) are performed first. The image is then reconstructed (using the Fast Fourier Transform) and statistical analyses run. The user has a great deal of flexibility in choosing which corrections and statistics are executed. FIASCO emphasizes correct statistical models, for example for group comparisons.

The Brain Dynamics Centre (BDC) is a network of centers and units. It achieves a unique exploration of the healthy brain and disorders of brain function. It translates these insights into new ways to tailor treatments to the individual. There approach is: "integrative neuroscience" - bringing together clinical observations, theory, and modern imaging technologies. And it's theoretical framework derives from linking physiology, psychology and evolution. Additionally, BDC also actively researches ADHD and conduct disorder, stress and trauma-related problems, depression and anxiety, anorexia nervosa, psychosis (including early onset) and conversion disorders. The research facilities DBC include assessment, rooms, two cognition-brain function laboratories, genotyping and an MRI Suite with 1.5 and 3T GE systems. BDC is the coordinating site for an international network - BRAINnet. It has over 180 members, and coordinates access to the first standardized database on the human brain for scientific purposes: Brain Resource International Database.

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.13/bioc/html/sSeq.html

Software package to discover the genes that are differentially expressed between two conditions in RNA-seq experiments. Gene expression is measured in counts of transcripts and modeled with the Negative Binomial (NB) distribution using a shrinkage approach for dispersion estimation. The method of moment (MM) estimates for dispersion are shrunk towards an estimated target, which minimizes the average squared difference between the shrinkage estimates and the initial estimates. The exact per-gene probability under the NB model is calculated, and used to test the hypothesis that the expected expression of a gene in two conditions identically follow a NB distribution.
