http://type1diabetes.jax.org/

International repository for importation, curation, genotypic and phenotypic validation, cryopreservation, and distribution of mouse stocks of value to the type 1 diabetes scientific community holding over 250 genetically modified or congenic mouse stocks that are being used to dissect genetic and biologic features of T1D. They provide extensive genotypic and phenotypic quality control and genetic stabilization for these strains, as well as incidence studies when available. An added value of T1DR stocks is their ability to propel advances in related areas of science, including research in non-T1D autoimmunity and infectious diseases. The staff provides information and technical assistance regarding selection and use of existing T1DR models, and will provide limited support for development of new models considered to be of high-value for the T1D community. The resource includes strains generated at the Jackson Laboratory as well as strains donated by external scientists. Investigators are highly encouraged to donate a strain to ensure its preservation and availability to other researchers.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 17, 2016. Statistical and biomedical informatics software studio that develops neuroscience applications and brain computer interface games. They are dedicated to the integration of medical research, neuroscience, time series analysis, computer programming, statistics, sensor technologies, graphics design, artificial intelligence and entertainment to build gaming systems for neuroscientific research and intelligent tutoring in the classroom and lab. The current focus of The Cromwell Workshop/Neuronal Architects is on theoretical neuroscience and experimental modeling of psychological and neural processes that involve attention, emotion, motivation and executive functions that are impaired by neurological diseases. The outcome of this work is to use these results in the design of multiple genre brain computer interface gaming systems that can be used in both clinical and at home settings. If you would like to explore any collaborative opportunities to use their software or enhance your existing statistical products with their .NET, Java, R and Matlab code bases, let them know.

http://www.citregistry.org/

Collect, analyze, and communicate on comprehensive and current data on all islet/beta cell transplants in human recipients performed in North America, as well as some European and Australian centers to expedite progress and promote safety in islet/beta cell transplantation. This site serves as a repository for general information concerning protocols, clinical transplantation sites, publications, and other information of interest to the general community. Annual Reports are available. Islet/beta cell transplantation is a complex procedure with many factors contributing to the outcome. Compiling and analyzing data from all transplant centers in the US, Canada, as well as some European and Australian centers will accelerate the identification of both critical risk factors and key determinants of success and thereby guide transplant centers in developing and refining islet/beta cell transplant protocols. The inclusion of the term collaborative in the name of the Registry emphasizes the importance of collaboration in fulfilling the CITR mission and goals. Close collaboration with the transplant centers will ensure that relevant questions are addressed, that data submitted are accurate and complete, and that the needs of the transplant community are served. Information on how to participate as a CITR Transplant Center and to receive a transplant center application is available through the website. Progress in islet transplantation depends entirely on complete, high-quality medical data, including the information patients consented to report to the Collaborative Islet Transplant Registry. To make it as easy as possible to provide updated information about patient's health, an on-line questionnaire is available or patients can mail it to their transplant center. This information is very important in the continuing search for a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

https://bioconductor.org/packages//2.11/bioc/html/bridge.html

Software package to test for differentially expressed genes with microarray data. It can be used with both cDNA microarrays or Affymetrix chip. The packge fits a robust Bayesian hierarchical model for testing for differential expression. Outliers are modeled explicitly using a $t$-distribution. The model includes an exchangeable prior for the variances which allow different variances for the genes but still shrink extreme empirical variances. The model can be used for testing for differentially expressed genes among multiple samples, and can distinguish between the different possible patterns of differential expression when there are three or more samples. Parameter estimation is carried out using a novel version of Markov Chain Monte Carlo that is appropriate when the model puts mass on subspaces of the full parameter space.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/vsn.html

Software package that implements a method for normalizing microarray intensities, both between colours within array, and between arrays. The method uses a robust variant of the maximum-likelihood estimator for the stochastic model of microarray data described in the references. The model incorporates data calibration (a.k.a. normalization), a model for the dependence of the variance on the mean intensity, and a variance stabilizing data transformation. Differences between transformed intensities are analogous to normalized log-ratios. However, in contrast to the latter, their variance is independent of the mean, and they are usually more sensitive and specific in detecting differential transcription.
