http://eyewire.org/

An online game for mapping neuronal connections in the retina. The site provides microscopic retinal images and uses crowdsourcing to make sense of the images. EyeWire is where the general public can help make discoveries about the neural structure of the retina. The challenge is to map the neural connections of the retina by analyzing images that were acquired using serial electron microscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. A retinal volume of size 350��300��60 micrometer cubed was imaged, amounting to about one terabyte of data. Retinal Connectome * Game 1: Reconstructing Neurons * Game 2: Identifying Synapses Eyewire incorporates computational technologies developed by the laboratory of Prof. Sebastian Seung at MIT.

http://www.procure.ca/index.php

The main goal of PROCURE is to provide science and humanity with means to help prevent and cure prostate cancer a disease which this year alone will be diagnosed in an estimated 25,500 Canadian men and one which will, on average, take the lives of 85 men every week. PROCURE strives to redefine the boundaries of research and knowledge by: * Initiating an on-going dialogue with the public and healthcare community to provide needed information and support through accessible means such as: ** A comprehensive website in French and English ** Lectures and special events ** Free book on prostate cancer * Funding and structuring over time a bank of biological materials and data on men with prostate cancer as well as those at risk of developing the disease. Such a Biobank, as it is known, will accelerate breakthrough scientific discovery. Join our alliance today by informing yourself and loved ones. Encourage the other men you care about to have an examination. Make a contribution to our cause. Help us keep information on this site up-to-date. In doing so you will become part of the force against prostate cancer!

http://www.danga.com/memcached/

A commercial distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but originally intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. memcached allows you to take memory from parts of your system where you have more than you need and make it accessible to areas where you have less than you need. With memcached, you can see that all of the servers are looking into the same virtual pool of memory. This means that a given item is always stored and always retrieved from the same location in your entire web cluster.

http://www.cbioc.org

A tool for extraction and collaboration for data curation related to biology. CBioC runs as a web browser extension and allows unobtrusive use of the system during the regular course of research in PubMed. It can also be accessed directly (without having to install a plug-in). Automated text extraction is used as a starting point to bootstrap the database, but then it is up to biologists improve upon the extracted data, ironing out inconsistencies by subsequent edits on a massive scale. * After install, it loads when you visit PubMed. * Gets interactions from PubMed abstracts. * Allows you to vote and modify extracted data. * Also shows data from BIND, DIP, MINT, GRID, IntAct.

http://meme.nbcr.net/meme/cgi-bin/gomo.cgi

Gene Ontology for Motifs (GOMO) is an alignment- and threshold-free comparative genomics approach for assigning functional roles to DNA regulatory motifs from DNA sequence. The algorithm detects associations between a user-specified DNA regulatory motif (expressed as a position weight matrix; PWM) and Gene Ontology terms. The original method for predicting the roles of transcription factors (TFs starts with a PWM motif describing the DNA-binding affinity of the TF. GOMO uses the PWM to score the promoter region of each gene in the genome for its likelihood to be bound by the TF. The resulting ''''affinity'''' scores are then used to test each term in the Gene Ontology for association with high-scoring genes. The algorithm was subsequently extended to leverage conserved signals using multiple, related species in a comparative approach, which greatly improves the resulting annotations. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.gnuplot.info/

Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for linux, OS/2, MS Windows, OSX, VMS, and many other platforms. The source code is copyrighted but freely distributed (i.e., you don''t have to pay for it). It was originally created to allow scientists and students to visualize mathematical functions and data interactively, but has grown to support many non-interactive uses such as web scripting. It is also used as a plotting engine by third-party applications like Octave. Gnuplot has been supported and under active development since 1986. Gnuplot supports many types of plots in either 2D and 3D. It can draw using lines, points, boxes, contours, vector fields, surfaces, and various associated text. It also supports various specialized plot types. Demos here. Gnuplot supports many different types of output: interactive screen terminals (with mouse and hotkey input), direct output to pen plotters or modern printers, and output to many file formats (eps, fig, jpeg, LaTeX, metafont, pbm, pdf, png, postscript, svg, ...). Gnuplot is easily extensible to include new output modes. Recent additions include an interactive terminal based on wxWidgets and the creation of mousable graphs for web display using the HTML5 canvas element.
