http://www.stanford.edu/group/brainsinsilicon/neurogrid.html

A specialized hardware platform that will perform cortex-scale emulations while offering software-like flexibility. With sixteen 12x14 sq-mm chips (Neurocores) assembled on a 6.5x7.5 sq-in circuit board that can model a slab of cortex with up to 16x256x256 neurons - over a million! The chips are interconnected in a binary tree by 80M spike/sec links. An on-chip RAM (in each Neurocore) and an off-chip RAM (on a daughterboard, not shown) softwire vertical and horizontcal cortical connections, respectively. It provides an affordable option for brain simulations that uses analog computation to emulate ion-channel activity and uses digital communication to softwire synaptic connections. These technologies impose different constraints, because they operate in parallel and in serial, respectively. Analog computation constrains the number of distinct ion-channel populations that can be simulatedunlike digital computation, which simply takes longer to run bigger simulations. Digital communication constrains the number of synaptic connections that can be activated per secondunlike analog communication, which simply sums additional inputs onto the same wire. Working within these constraints, Neurogrid achieves its goal of simulating multiple cortical areas in real-time by making judicious choices.

http://oligogenome.stanford.edu/

The Stanford Human OligoGenome Project hosts a database of capture oligonucleotides for conducting high-throughput targeted resequencing of the human genome. This set of capture oligonucleotides covers over 92% of the human genome for build 37 / hg19 and over 99% of the coding regions defined by the Consensus Coding Sequence (CCDS). The capture reaction uses a highly multiplexed approach for selectively circularizing and capturing multiple genomic regions using the in-solution method developed in Natsoulis et al, PLoS One 2011. Combined pools of capture oligonucleotides selectively circularize the genomic DNA target, followed by specific PCR amplification of regions of interest using a universal primer pair common to all of the capture oligonucleotides. Unlike multiplexed PCR methods, selective genomic circularization is capable of efficiently amplifying hundreds of genomic regions simultaneously in multiplex without requiring extensive PCR optimization or producing unwanted side reaction products. Benefits of the selective genomic circularization method are the relative robustness of the technique and low costs of synthesizing standard capture oligonucleotide for selecting genomic targets.

http://bioportal.bioontology.org/

Open repository of biomedical ontologies that provides access via Web browsers and Web services to ontologies. It supports ontologies in OBO format, OWL, RDF, Rich Release Format (RRF), Protege frames, and LexGrid XML. Functionality includes the ability to browse, search and visualize ontologies as well as to comment on, and create mappings for ontologies. Any registered user can submit an ontology. The NCBO Annotator and NCBO Resource Index can also be accessed via BioPortal. Additional features: * Add Reviews: rate the ontology according to several criteria and describe your experience using the ontology. * Add Mappings: submit point-to-point mappings or upload bulk mappings created with external tools. Notification of new Mappings is RSS-enabled and Mappings can be browsed via BioPortal and accessed via Web services. * NCBO Annotator: Tool that tags free text with ontology terms. NCBO uses the Annotator to generate ontology annotations, creating an ontology index of these resources accessible via the NCBO Resource Index. The Annotator can be accessed through BioPortal or directly as a Web service. The annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using the preferred name and synonyms for terms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the ontology structure (e.g., is_a relations). * NCBO Resource Index: The NCBO Resource Index is a system for ontology based annotation and indexing of biomedical data; the key functionality of this system is to enable users to locate biomedical data linked via ontology terms. A set of annotations is generated automatically, using the NCBO Annotator, and presented in BioPortal. This service uses a concept recognizer (developed by the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics, University of Michigan) to produce a set of annotations and expand them using ontology is_a relations. * Web services: Documentation on all Web services and example code is available at: BioPortal Web services.
