ERIC is a resource of annotated enterobacterial genomes. Information is available and accessed through a open web portal uniting biological data and analysis tools. ERIC contains information on Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, and other microorgansims. ERIC has recently been moved over to PATRIC: The PATRIC BRC is now responsible for all bacterial species in the NIAID Category A-C Priority Pathogen lists for biodefense research, and pathogens causing emerging/reemerging infectious diseases. For ERIC users, we understand that the resource was valuable to your work. As such, we will be doing our very best to create a useful PATRIC resource to continue supporting your work. We realize that the transition will cause disruptions. However, it is a priority for us to work with established BRC users and communities to identify and prioritize our transition efforts. We have concentrated on the transfer of genomic data for this initial release. We anticipate adding new data, tools, and website features over the next several months. We look forward to working with you during the next 5 years., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

This resource contains to MATLAB code to make and show videos that can be acquired for free. Data for the movies came from a Macaque attention task. Data on this page came from the multiple-object tracking attention task in a Macaque: The monkeys fixated the white dot at the center of the computer monitor, and four striped stimuli appeared. Their eye position was monitored using an IR camera. The red cross shows where the eyes were pointing throughout each trial. The circle shows the location of the receptive field of the neuron under study during the recording. At the beginning of each trial, either one or two of the stimuli were highlighted, indicating to the monkey that they were the targets of attention. The stimuli then moved to new locations and paused, with one stimulus in the receptive field. After a brief pause, they moved to new locations and the fixation point disappeared. The monkey was rewarded with juice if it then looked at the cued targets. Attention Dask Demo (Avi File) contains Matlab code to make and show movies.

A nationwide public health clinical trial conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatments for people with major depression, in both primary and specialty care settings, who have not responded to initial treatment with an antidepressant. This is the largest and longest study ever done to evaluate depression treatment. The study is completed and no longer recruiting participants. Each of the four levels of the study tested a different medication or medication combination. The primary goal of each level was to determine if the treatment used during that level could adequately treat participants����?? major depressive disorder (MDD). Those who did not become symptom-free could proceed to the next level of treatment. The design of the STAR*D study reflects what is done in clinical practice because it allowed study participants to choose certain treatment strategies most acceptable to them and limited the randomization of each participant only to his/her range of acceptable treatment strategies. No prior studies have evaluated the different treatment strategies in broadly defined participant groups treated in diverse care settings. Over a seven-year period, the study enrolled 4,041 outpatients, ages 18-75 years, from 41 clinical sites around the country, which included both specialty care settings and primary medical care settings. Participants represented a broad range of ethnic and socioeconomic groups. All participants were diagnosed with MDD, were already seeking care at one of these sites, and were referred to the trial by their doctors. * STAR*D Study Medications: Citalopram (Celexa), Sertraline (Zoloft), Bupropion SR (Wellbutrin SR), Venlafaxine XR (Effexor XR), Buspirone (BuSpar), Mirtazapine (Remeron), Triiodothyronine (T3) (Cytomel), Nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl), Tranylcypromine (Parnate), Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) *STAR*D Talk Therapy:Cognitive Therapy

This is a web interface for ADDA, an automatic algorithm for domain decomposition and clustering of all protein domain families. We use alignments derived from an all-on-all sequence comparison to define domains within protein sequences based on a global maximum likelihood model. ADDA is downloadable. There are three ways in which you can retrieve a protein sequence and its domains from ADDA. Sequences can be located using sequence identifiers and/or accession numbers, using a identical fragment lookup, or by running BLAST against all sequences in ADDA. ADDA is a protein sequence clustering algorithm. It takes a set of sequences and returns domain families. ADDA has two steps corresponding to the two aspects of the protein sequence clustering domain. First, ADDA splits protein sequences into domains. The idea behind ADDA is in principle the application of Occam''s razor; the goal is to describe the diversity of protein sequences with a minimal set of protein domains. The algorithm behind ADDA approximates this minimal set. In practice ADDA works by looking at where BLAST alignments are located on the sequence and splits the sequences, so that as few as possible alignments are cut by domain boundaries and that as many alignments as possible stretch over complete domains. Secondly, ADDA takes all the domains and then arranges them in a minimum spanning tree, where the similarity between two domains is determined by their relative overlap given a BLAST alignment. Each link in the tree is then checked by a pairwise profile-profile comparison and links below a threshold are removed. The remaining connected components are then taken to represent protein domain families.

The UW Integrated Brain Project is one project within the national Human Brain Project, a national multi-agency effort to develop informatics tools for managing the exploding amount of information that is accumulating about the human brain. The objective of the UW Integrated Brain Project effort is to organize and integrate distributed functional information about the brain around the structural information framework that is the long term goal of our work. This application therefore extends the utility of the Digital Anatomist Project by using it to organize non-structural information. The initial driving neuroscience problem that is being addressed is the management, visualization and analysis of cortical language mapping data. In recent years, advances in imaging technology such as PET and functional MRI have allowed researchers to observe areas of the cortex that are activated when the subject performs language tasks. These advances have greatly accelerated the amount of data available about human language, but have also emphasized the need to organize and integrate the sometimes contradictory sources of data, in order to develop theories about language organization. The hypothesis is that neuroanatomy is the common substrate on which the diverse kinds of data can be integrated. A result of the work done by this project is a set of software tools for generating a 3-D reconstruction of the patient''s own brain from MRI, for mapping functional data to this reconstruction, for normalizing individual anatomy by warping to a canonical brain atlas and by annotating data with terms from an anatomy ontology, for managing individual lab data in local laboratory information systems, for integrating and querying data across separate data management systems, and for visualizing the integrated results. Sponsors: This Human Brain Project research is funded jointly by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Aging.
