http://www.isi.edu/projects/bioscholar/overview

Knowledge management and engineering system software for experimental biomedical scientists permitting a single scientific worker (at the level of a graduate student or postdoctoral worker) to design, construct and manage a shared knowledge repository for a research group derived on a local store of PDF files. Usability is especially emphasized within a laboratory so that this software could provide support to experimental scientists attempting to construct a personalized representation of their own knowledge on a medium scale. The BioScholar system uses a graphical interface to create experimental designs based on the experimental variables in the system. The design is then analyzed to construct a tabular input form based on the data flow. They call this methodology "Knowledge Engineering from Experimental Design" or "KEfED". The approach is domain-independent but domain-specific modules reasoning can be constructed to generate interpretations from the observational data represented in the KEfED model. The application is available for download as platform-specific installers including Linux, Unix, Mac OS, and Windows. The installer will install an application that will run the BioScholar server. This server uses Jetty as its integrated web server.

https://simtk.org/home/allopathfinder

Software application and code base that allows users to compute likely allosteric pathways in proteins. The underlying assumption is that residues participating in allosteric communication should be fairly conserved and that communication happens through residues that are close in space. The initial application for the code provided was to study the allosteric communication in myosin. Myosin is a well-studied molecular motor protein that walks along actin filaments to achieve cellular tasks such as movement of cargo proteins. It couples ATP hydrolysis to highly-coordinated conformational changes that result in a power-stroke motion, or "walking" of myosin. Communication between a set of residues must link the three functional regions of myosin and transduce energy: the catalytic ATP binding region, the lever arm, and the actin-binding domain. They are investigating which residues are likely to participate in allosteric communication pathways. The application is a collection of C++/QT code, suitable for reproducing the computational results of the paper. (PMID 17900617) In addition, they provide input and alignment information to reproduce Figure 3 (a key figure) in the paper. Examples provided will show users how to use AlloPathFinder with other protein families, assumed to exhibit an allosteric communication. To run the application a multiple sequence alignment of representative proteins from the protein family is required along with at least one protein structure.

http://pilgrm.princeton.edu

PILGRM (the platform for interactive learning by genomics results mining) puts advanced supervised analysis techniques applied to enormous gene expression compendia into the hands of bench biologists. This flexible system empowers its users to answer diverse biological questions that are often outside of the scope of common databases in a data-driven manner. This capability allows domain experts to quickly and easily generate hypotheses about biological processes, tissues or diseases of interest. Specifically PILGRM helps biologists generate these hypotheses by analyzing the expression levels of known relevant genes in large compendia of microarray data. PILGRM is for the biologist with a set of proteins relevant to a disease, biological function or tissue of interest who wants to find additional players in that process. It uses a data driven method that provides added value for literature search results by mining compendia of publicly available gene expression datasets using lists of relevant and irrelevant genes (standards). PILGRM produces publication quality PDFs usable as supplementary material to describe the computational approach, standards and datasets. Each PILGRM analysis starts with an important biological question (e.g. What genes are relevant for breast cancer but not mammary tissue in general?). For PILGRM to discover relevant genes, it needs examples of both genes that you would (positive) and would not (negative) find interesting. Lists of these genes are what we call standards and in PILGRM you can build your own standards or you can use standards from common sources that we pre-load for your convenience. PILGRM lets you build your own literature-documented standards so that processes, disease, and tissues that are not well covered in databases of tissue expression, disease, or function can still be used for an analysis.

http://code.google.com/p/lapdftext/

Software that facilitates accurate extraction of text from PDF files of research articles for use in text mining applications. It is intended for both scientists and natural language processing (NLP) engineers interested in getting access to text within specific sections of research articles. The system extracts text blocks from PDF-formatted full-text research articles and classifies them into logical units based on rules that characterize specific sections. The LA-PDFText system focuses only on the textual content of the research articles. The current version of LA-PDFText is a baseline system that extracts text using a three-stage process: * identification of blocks of contiguous text * classification of these blocks into rhetorical categories * extraction of the text from blocks grouped section-wise.

Biomedical technology research center establishing the infrastructure for fast, routine, atomic structure determination of subcellular complexes by electron cryo-microscopy, computer reconstruction and modeling. Their emphasis is on specimens that cannot currently be studied by conventional structural techniques such as x-ray crystallography or NMR. The ultimate outcome of their research is a three-dimensional image of the complex that can be used for design of drugs and vaccines for a variety of diseases. The center is focused on extending the resolution, speed and flexibility of cryo-electron microscopy for the three-dimensional structure determination of biological macromolecular assemblies. Cryo-electron microscopy can visualize molecules under near-native conditions at resolutions ranging from 0.3 to 5 nm and can yield images of individual molecules in a range of different conformations as they exist in solution. Other cryo-electron mycroscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron tomography, are being developed to capture molecular structures in situ. The equipment, techniques and expertise developed are available to the research community through collaborative projects. The NCMI also provides training through workshops and other forms of dissemination via both traditional and modern Internet-based methods.
