Multi-center, randomized controlled study designed to determine if continuing interferon long term over several years will suppress the Hepatitis C virus, prevent progression to cirrhosis, prevent liver cancer and reduce the need for liver transplantation. Patient enrollment began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 at 10 clinical centers, which were supported by a data coordinating center, virological testing center, and central sample repository. Patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis on liver biopsy who failed to respond to a previous course of interferon alfa were enrolled in this study. Patients were initially treated with a 24-week course of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin. Patients who remained hepatitis C virus RNA positive were then randomized to receive maintenance, low-dose peginterferon or to be followed on no treatment. Liver biopsies were done before enrollment and after 2 and 4 years of treatment or follow-up. The endpoints were development of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, death, or liver transplantation. 1050 patients were randomized and followed through the 4 year randomized phase of the trial and as long as 4 years off treatment. Serum samples collected at multiple time points, DNA and liver tissue are available for scientific investigation.

Biomedical technology research center that pioneers and provides access to microscopic imaging instruments for biologic and clinical research. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has evolved over the last two decades to become a standard of care for diagnostic ophthalmic imaging and is poised to make significant impact in the fields of cardiology and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, however, has been limited to a relatively few research laboratories and the optimization of instruments for new biomedical applications has hindered the investigation of new opportunities. A major focus of CBORT will be to cultivate strategic research collaborations and respond to a pressing need for application-specific OCT instrumentation and hardware.

The Center develops conceptual models, computational infrastructure, an integrated knowledge repository, and query and analysis tools that enable scientists to effectively access and integrate the wealth of biological data. The National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI) was founded in October 2005 and is one of seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) in the NIH Roadmap. NCIBI is based at the University of Michigan as a part of the Center for Computational Medicine and Biology (CCMB). NCIBI is composed of biomedical researchers, computational biologists, computer scientists, developers and human-computer interaction specialists organized into seven major core functions. They work in interdisciplinary teams to collectively develop tools that are not only computationally powerful but also biologically relevant and meaningful. The four initial Driving Biological Projects (prostate cancer progression, Type 1 and type 2 diabetes and bipolar disorder) provide the nucleation point from which tool development is informed, launched, and tested. In addition to testing tools for function, a separate team is dedicated to testing usability and user interaction that is a unique feature of this Center. Once tools are developed and validated the goal of the Center is to share and disseminate data and software throughout the research community both internally and externally. This is achieved through various mechanisms such as training videos, tutorials, and demonstrations and presentations at national and international scientific conferences. NCIBI is supported by NIH Grant # U54-DA021519.

http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr/

A web-based gene list enrichment analysis tool that provides various types of visualization summaries of collective functions of gene lists. It includes new gene-set libraries, an alternative approach to rank enriched terms, and various interactive visualization approaches to display enrichment results using the JavaScript library, Data Driven Documents (D3). The software can also be embedded into any tool that performs gene list analysis. System-wide profiling of genes and proteins in mammalian cells produce lists of differentially expressed genes / proteins that need to be further analyzed for their collective functions in order to extract new knowledge. Once unbiased lists of genes or proteins are generated from such experiments, these lists are used as input for computing enrichment with existing lists created from prior knowledge organized into gene-set libraries.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SCAN.UPC.html

A microarray normalization software (SCAN) to facilitate personalized-medicine workflows with an extension (UPC) that estimates whether a given gene/transcript is active above background levels in a given sample. Rather than processing microarray samples as groups, which can introduce biases and present logistical challenges, SCAN normalizes each sample individually by modeling and removing probe- and array-specific background noise using only data from within each array. SCAN can be applied to one-channel (e.g., Affymetrix) or two-channel (e.g., Agilent) microarrays. The UPC method can be applied to one-channel or two-channel microarrays as well as to RNA-Seq read counts. Because UPC values are represented on the same scale and have an identical interpretation for each platform, they can be used for cross-platform data integration. A

EEG base is a system for storage and management of EEG/ERP resources - data, metadata, tools and materials related to EEG/ERP experiments. EEG base advances electrophysiology research by enabling access to public data, tools and results of research groups. The system essentially offers the following set of features (the set of accessible features depends on a specific user role): * User authentication * Storage, update, and download of EEG/ERP data and metadata * Storage, update and download of EEG/ERP experimental design (experimental scenarios) * Storage, update and download of data related to testing subjects * Fulltext search * Sharing of knowledge and working in groups The system is based on tree layer architecture (MVC pattern) consisting of persistent layer (relational database), application layer (object oriented code, object relational mapping from persistence layer) and presentation layer (JSP). The persistence layer uses Hibernate framework; Oracle 11g database server is used to ensure the processing of large data files. Application and presentation layers are designed and implemented using Spring technology. This framework supports MVC architecture, Dependency injection and Aspect Oriented Programming. There were no significant difficulties with integration of both frameworks, Hibernate and Spring MVC. Spring Security framework is used to ensure management of authentication and user roles. Since the system is thought to be finally open to the whole EEG/ERP community it is necessary to protect EEG/ERP data and metadata, and especially personal data of testing subjects stored in the database from an unauthorized access. Then a restricted user policy is applied and user roles are introduced. The complete overview of the system features and user roles (use case diagram) is available in (Pergler 2009). Concerning the architectural layers there is a question which layer is more feasible for mapping of its structure into ontology. Currently we have studied two possibilities: * Mapping from the persistence layer (relational database) * Mapping from the application layer (object oriented code) The mapping from the application layer to an ontology includes the precedent object relational mapping provided by Hibernate framework.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/glytorsion/

Service that performs a statistical analysis of carbohydrate torsion angles derived from the Protein Data Bank. Such as protein conformation can be described by the backbone torsion angles, a carbohydrate structure is mainly characterised by its linkage torsions. With the aid of pdb2linucs, a dataset of carbohydrate torsion angles was derived from from carbohydrate structures found in the PDB. This weekly updated dataset contains, besides linkage torsions, also ring torsions, omega torsions, N-acetyle group torsions and sidechain torsions of Asn residues involved in Glycan bonds. It can be queried by GlyTorsion.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/glyseq/

Service dedicated to statistically analyze the sequences around glycosylation sites. Glycosylation belongs to the most common and most important co- and postranslational modifications of proteins. Since it is often difficult to determine which potential glycosylation sites are in fact glycosylated, there is only few data available about glycoproteins. Sources from which such data can be retrieved are SwissProt and the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Data from the PDB is obtained using pdb2linucs and updated weekly. GlySeq is dedicated to statistically analyze these sequences, especially the areas around glycosylation sites.

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

Software R package for Gaussian Process Ranking and Estimation of Gene Expression time-series. The software fits two Gaussian processes (GPs) with an radial basis function (RBF) (+ noise diagonal) kernel on each profile. One GP kernel is initialized wih a short lengthscale hyperparameter, signal variance as the observed variance and a zero noise variance. It is optimized via scaled conjugate gradients (netlab). A second GP has fixed hyperparameters: zero inverse-width, zero signal variance and noise variance as the observed variance. The log-ratio of marginal likelihoods of the two hypotheses acts as a score of differential expression for the profile. Comparison via receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) is performed against Bayesian hierarchical model for the analysis of time-series (BATS) (Angelini et.al, 2007).
