Database of the most recent sequence updates and annotations for the T. brucei genome. New annotations are constantly being added to keep up with published manuscripts and feedback from the Trypanosomatid research community. You may search by Protein Length, Molecular Mass, Gene Type, Date, Location, Protein Targeting, Transmembrane Helices, Product, GO, EC, Pfam ID, Curation and Comments, and Dbxrefs. BLAST and other tools are available. T. brucei possesses a two-unit genome, a nuclear genome and a mitochondrial (kinetoplast) genome with a total estimated size of 35Mb/haploid genome. The nuclear genome is split into three classes of chromosomes according to their size on pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, 11 pairs of megabase chromosomes (0.9-5.7 Mb), intermediate (300-900 kb) and minichromosomes (50-100 kb). The T. brucei genome contains a ~0.5Mb segmental duplication affecting chromosomes 4 and 8, which is responsible for some 75 gene duplicates unique to this species. A comparative chromosome map of the duplicons can be accessed here (PubmedID 18036214). Protozoan parasites within the species Trypanosoma brucei are the etiological agent of human sleeping sickness and Nagana in animals. Infections are limited to patches of sub-Saharan Africa where insects vectors of the Glossina genus are endemic. The most recent estimates indicate between 50,000 - 70,000 human cases currently exist, with 17 000 new cases each year (WHO Factsheet, 2006). In collaboration with GeneDB, the EuPathDB genomic sequence data and annotations are regularly deposited on TriTrypDB where they can be integrated with other datasets and queried using customized queries.

Fonstein, Kogan, Osterman, Overbeek and Vonstein found the non-profit Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) to follow their vision of seeking advances in understanding through comparative analysis of the growing body of genomic data. The team at FIG began a new open source comparative genomics environment, the SEED. The Project to Annotate 1000 Genomes is a central goal of FIG. FIG is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing support for those analyzing genomes. It focuses on organizing the data needed to support interpretation of genomes, providing the infrastructure needed by the world community in its efforts to achieve understanding. FIG offers the key services required to architect and implement a comparative framework for interpreting genomes. In addition, we pick specific, critical problems and attempt to actively participate in the unraveling of the secrets within these amazing entities. It is only by merging the work of building infrastructure with the applications that use it that we will more deeply understand what is needed at each step.

This website offers educational materials and information on services of the UAB Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (UAB-TBIMS) along with links to national organizations, government agencies, and educational resources related to traumatic brain injury. The UAB-TBIMS is one of 16 national TBI Model Systems Centers working to maintain and improve a cost-effective, comprehensive service delivery system for people who incur a traumatic brain injury. A Model System must demonstrate outstanding care to individuals with traumatic brain injury, from the emergency medical services, to acute care in the hospital, to rehabilitation. The UAB TBIMS * conducts research, * distributes their research findings to both clinical and consumer audiences * collaborates with other clinical research programs and * participates in the Model Systems Database. This Center, operates within the UAB Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, which is located at Spain Rehabilitation Center in the UAB Hospital complex. Here it establishes and maintains links with emergency medical service agencies throughout the state, with state vocational rehabilitation and long-term follow-up programs.

Wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 19 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site. As of July 2011, there were editions of Wikipedia in 282 languages. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has become the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, ranking around seventh among all websites on Alexa and having 365 million readers. The name Wikipedia was coined by Larry Sanger and is a combination of wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning quick) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia''s departure from the expert-driven style of encyclopedia building and the large presence of unacademic content has been noted several times. Some have noted the importance of Wikipedia not only as an encyclopedic reference but also as a frequently updated news resource because of how quickly articles about recent events appear. Although the policies of Wikipedia strongly espouse verifiability and a neutral point of view, critics of Wikipedia accuse it of systemic bias and inconsistencies (including undue weight given to popular culture), and allege that it favors consensus over credentials in its editorial processes. Its reliability and accuracy are also targeted. A 2005 investigation in Nature showed that the science articles they compared came close to the level of accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica and had a similar rate of serious errors.

The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the support of research and public awareness. It is dedicated to researching the cause of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, also known as IBC, an advanced and accelerated form of breast cancer usually not detected by mammograms or ultrasounds. Inflammatory breast cancer requires immediate aggressive treatment with chemotherapy prior to surgery and is treated differently than more common types of breast cancer. Our mission is to assist scientists and researchers in their quest to determine the definitive causes of inflammatory breast cancer. The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation seeks to assist them in their work so effective and meaningful detection and diagnosis, prevention and treatment can be pursued and achieved. Our Goals Include: * To ignite interest in the study and research of inflammatory breast cancer at every level. From researchers to physicians, educators and scientists, the IBC Research Foundation seeks to support and inspire those seeking to identify the cause(s) of inflammatory breast cancer. * To support research, the purpose of which is to reach an unambiguous definition of inflammatory breast cancer. The clinical/pathological definition in use since the late 1800s with little change in the 1900s is ambiguous and doesn''t result in a diagnosis of all cases of IBC. By using research methods available in the 21st Century, an unambiguous definition is now possible, assuring with high certainty that all cases of IBC will be correctly diagnosed, and possible sub-types of IBC identified, which may lead to better treatment outcomes. * To increase awareness of IBC for primary care physicians, nursing professionals, and medical technicians in order to minimize the time from presentation of symptoms to correct diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer. * To increase public awareness in an effort to encourage women to seek medical attention for common inflammatory breast cancer symptoms soon after they appear and to empower patients, caregivers, families and friends to pursue meaningful paths in support of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory breast cancer.
