http://sourceforge.net/projects/variantmaster/

Software program that extracts causative variants in familial and sporadic genetic diseases. The algorithm takes into account predicted variants (SNPs and indels) in affected individuals or tumor samples and utilizes the row (BAM) data to robustly estimate the conditional probability of segregation in a family, as well as the probability of it being de novo or somatic. In familial cases, various modes of inheritance are considered: X-linked, autosomal dominant, and recessive (homozygosity or compound heterozygosity). Moreover, it integrates phenotypes and genotypes, and employs Annovar to produce additional information as allelic frequencies in general population and damaging scores.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 14, 2025.NIH-RAID makes available at no cost to researchers and organizations certain critical resources needed for the development of new therapeutic agents. This program, part of the Translational Research component of Reengineering the Clinical Research Enterprise, uses resources of NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institutes (NHLBI) Gene Therapy Resource Program. The services provided will depend upon the stage of the project and the strength of the preliminary data. Services available include: production, bulk supply, GMP manufacturing, formulation, development of an assay suitable for pharmacokinetic testing, and animal toxicology. Assistance also will be provided in the regulatory process, through access to independent product development planning expertise. Proposals in support of animal efficacy studies or synthesis and formulation of recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies will not be accepted. NIH-RAID is not a grant program. Successful projects will gain access to the governments contract resources, as well as the assistance of the NIH in establishing and implementing a product development plan. Funds to support individual projects will come both from the Roadmap and from individual Institutes, with Institutes assuming the bulk of support in the specific disease areas germane to their mission. This co-sponsorship is critical because of the resource and expertise needs and because NIH-RAID cannot support the full developmental pipeline; an Institute partnership may therefore be important for subsequent translational efforts. To obtain access to NIH-RAID resources, applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using SF424. Applications are initially screened to determine whether the resources requested are appropriate for this program. Then they are reviewed by the NIH Center for Scientific Research. The results of that evaluation along with supplemental information from the lead investigator will guide final Institute and Roadmap resource allocation. The services provided will depend upon the stage of the project and the strength of the preliminary data. When a lead therapeutic agent has been selected and proposed for preclinical development, the following services are available: For small molecules, natural products, peptides, oligonucleotides, and gene vectors: Synthesis, Scale-up production, Development of analytical methods, Development of suitable formulations, Isolation and purification of natural products, Pharmacokinetic/ADME studies including bioanalytical method development, Range-finding initial toxicology, IND-directed toxicology, Manufacture of clinical trial supplies, Product development planning and advice in IND preparation For recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies: Pharmacokinetic/ADME studies including bioanalytical method development, Range-finding initial toxicology, IND-directed toxicology, Product development planning and advice in IND preparation When a lead therapeutic agent has not yet been selected and proposed for preclinical development, the following services are available: For small molecules, natural products, peptides, oligonucleotides, and gene vectors: Synthesis, Development of analytical methods, Isolation and purification of natural products, Preliminary Pharmacokinetic/ADME studies, including bioanalytical method development, Preliminary toxicology For recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies, Preliminary Pharmacokinetic/ADME studies, including bioanalytical method development, Preliminary toxicology In some cases the NIH-RAID program will support only one or two key steps for preclinical development, while in other cases it may be possible to provide assistance with most of the development tasks needed to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When the NIH-RAID program does not provide all of the remaining services required for IND submission, it is expected that other resources will be in place to complete development steps not supported by NIH-RAID.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 18,2025. The National B Virus Resource Center is located in the Viral Immunology Center of Georgia State Universitys Department of Biology. Their laboratory is studying viruses that directly affect the central nervous system of infected hosts. Current projects in the laboratory are focused on the molecular biology of human and nonhuman primate alphaherpesviruses and the diseases they cause, immune response characterization, antiviral strategies, including drug discovery and high-throughput drug screening within unique, high containment laboratory suites. They are also actively engaged in the study of unique reoviruses that have the capacity to infect the central nervous systems of non human primates, langur viruses, and a newly isolated mangaby herpesvirus. Alphaherpesviruses target the central nervous system of susceptible hosts, and subsequently establish latent infections generally without severely damaging the host. There may be an initial acute phase when the virus successfully replicates in peripheral tissue of the host. This replication, when it occurs, induces a series of specific immune functions that can serve as markers of infection. We use these markers to design, develop and implement diagnostic assays that will be useful during the management of clinical disease. Each herpesvirus coexists peacefully with the natural host in which it has co-evolved, but when the viruses for any reason find themselves no longer in the natural host, the usual host:parasite relationship may change dramatically. In some closely related hosts the virus can replicate and, in some cases, pathogenesis of the infection is radically more severe than that which occurs in the natural host. For example, this can be seen when New World monkeys are infected with humans herpesviruses, e.g., HSV-1 or HSV-2, or when humans are infected with B virus from a macaque, a member of the Old World monkey family. Their studies focus on the mechanisms by which virus kills the host and how that process can be circumvented with early identification, appropriate antiviral drugs, and in the future, effective vaccines. We continually screen the efficacy of existing as well as novel antiviral agents to inhibit the growth of viruses that can potentially cross into the human population, either through occupational exposure or through more subtle contact. Their laboratory provides a global resource funded by National Institutes of Healths National Center for Research Resources to assist in the identification of zoonotic disease transmissions and develop enhanced strategies to detect virus in macaques. They particularly focus on the transmission of B virus from Asian monkeys to humans who come in contact with them. Members of the genus Macaca include rhesus monkeys, cynomolgus macaques, snow macaques, as well as all other macaques. If the macaque is in the midst of the acute or recurrent infection with B, virus can be transmitted to people who handle these monkeys through cuts, scratches, splashes, bites, or even contaminated equipment or surfaces, i.e., fomites. To counter the effects of this virus, the NIH and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have instituted a critical set of guidelines for institutions to follow in the event of exposures. Their laboratory provides immediate support to these cases to assist in the rapid diagnosis of B virus infections and to determine the efficacy of selected treatment. Lifetime patient monitoring is provided to identify possible reactivation disease and to better track this unique herpesvirus as it has begun its existence in the human populations. Sponsors: The viral immunology center is funded by National Institutes of Healths National Center for Research Resources.
