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.

http://dial.mc.duke.edu/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. The Duke Image Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) is committed to providing comprehensive imaging support in research studies and clinical trials to various agencies. The capabilities of the lab include protocol development, site training and certification, and image archival and analysis for a variety of modalities including magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, computed tomography and nuclear medicine. DIAL uses the latest technologies to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data sets of the brain. Currently the lab is engaged in measurement of the hippocampus, amygdala, caudate, ventricular system, and other brain regional volumes. Each of these techniques have undergone a rigorous validation process. The measurements of brain structures provide a useful means of non-invasively testing for changes in the brain of the patient. Changes over time in the brain can be detected, and evaluated with respect to the treatment that the patient is receiving. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows DIAL to obtain an accurate profile of the chemical content of the brain. This sensitive technique can detect small changes in the metabolic state of the brain; changes that vary in response to administration of therapeutic agents. The ability to detect these subtle shifts in brain chemistry allows DIAL to identify changes in the brain with more sensitivity than allowed by image analysis. In this respect, NMR spectroscopy can provide early detection of changes in the brain, and serves to compliment the data obtained from image analysis. Additionally, DIAL also contains SQUID (Scalable Query Utility and Image Database). It is an image management system developed to facilitate image management in research and clinical trials: SQUID offers secure, redundant image storage and organizational functions for sorting and searching digital images for a variety of modalities including MRI, MRS, CAT Scan, X-Ray and Nuclear Medicine. SQUID can access images directly from DUMC scanners. Data can also be loaded via DICOM CDs, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://silac.org/

Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a simple and straightforward approach for in vivo incorporation of a label into proteins for mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics. SILAC relies on metabolic incorporation of a given "light" or "heavy" form of the amino acid into the proteins. The method relies on the incorporation of amino acids with substituted stable isotopic nuclei (e.g. deuterium, 13C, 15N). In an experiment, two cell populations are grown in culture media that are identical except that one of them contains a "light" and the other a "heavy" form of a particular amino acid (e.g. 12C and 13C labeled L-lysine, respectively). When the labeled analog of an amino acid is supplied to cells in culture instead of the natural amino acid, it is incorporated into all newly synthesized proteins. After a number of cell divisions, each instance of this particular amino acid will be replaced by its isotope labeled analog. Since there is hardly any chemical difference between the labeled amino acid and the natural amino acid isotopes, the cells behave exactly like the control cell population grown in the presence of normal amino acid. It is efficient and reproducible as the incorporation of the isotope label is 100%. SILAC Applications: - Differential expression of proteins and identification of disease biomarkers - Cell signaling dynamics - Analysis of yeast pheromone signaling pathway - Identification of methylation sites - Identification of protease substrates - Study of protein complexes/protein interactions - Analysis of signaling pathways and effect of pharmacological inhibitors - Subcellular proteomics Sponsors: Supported in part by an NIH Roadmap grant Technology Center for Networks & Pathways of Lysine Modification.

Dendritica is a program package for relating dendritic geometry and signal propagation. The programs are based on those used for the simulations described in the following paper: Vetter, P., Roth, A. & Husser, M. (2001). Action potential propagation in dendrites depends on dendritic morphology. Journal of Neurophysiology, 85: 926-937. Dendritica can functionally be divided into three main parts: - Interactive morphological analysis and electrophysiological simulation of single cells - Automated batch simulations across a set of morphologies using the same simulation parameters - Automated analysis of batch simulation runs Dendritica requires NEURON 4.1.1 with some modifications described in Appendix 1. It was tested for NEURON 4.1.1 on Linux and SGI IRIX. Some modifications to the Dendritica code may be necessary in order to run it on older or newer versions of NEURON. Sponsors: This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust, the European Community, the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, the Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD Programme in Neuroscience.

https://medicine.stonybrookmedicine.edu/pathology/neuropathology

This is a primer of basic neuropathology- The Central Nervous System and Skeletal Muscle. It is organized in chapters by category of disease with a separate chapter for skeletal muscle. Many of the diseases could be included in more than one chapter because of overlapping pathophysiology; in each case the disorder is included in a single section in the interest of convenience. In order to recognize pathology one must have a basic foundation in normal structure, so the first chapter is an overview of basic regional central nervous system structure and anatomy. It includes an introduction to neurohistology. Other chapters address the pathophysiology of different categories of disease and provide examples of gross and microscopic pathology when they are available.
