ORION is our neuron reconstruction software package developed for the morphological reconstruction of neurons from confocal and multiphoton microscopy data. It accepts raw neuron stack data as input and it is capable of reconstructing the neuron structure, visualizing the output, and exporting the reconstruction in a variety of formats. We are developing tools that will enable Neuroscientists to explore single neuron function via sophisticated image analysis. Advanced optical imaging can produce both structural and functional data and is at the forefront of experimentally exploring the fast, small-scale dynamics of living neurons. Further, compartmental modeling of neuronal function enables rapid testing of hypotheses and estimating experimentally inaccessible parameters. Combining these two techniques will afford unprecedented capabilities in the study of single neuron function. Our software utility bridges the two Neuroscience techniques by rapidly, accurately, and robustly generating, from structural image data, a cylindrical morphology model suitable for simulating neuronal function.

A web-based analytical environment framework for bioinformatics applications that can be customized for a diverse range of -omics applications. The software system is adaptable to a range of both pluggable execution and data backends in an open source implementation. Enabling seamless and transparent access to heterogenous HPC environments at its core, it then provides an analysis workflow environment that can create and reuse workflows as well as manage large amounts of both raw and processed data in a secure and flexible way across geographically distributed compute resources. Yabi can be used via a web-based environment to drag-and-drop tools to create sophisticated workflows. It can also be accessed through the Yabi command line which is designed for users that are more comfortable with writing scripts or for enabling external workflow environments to leverage the features in Yabi. Configuring tools can be a significant overhead in workflow environments. Yabi greatly simplifies this task by enabling system administrators to configure as well as manage running tools via a web-based environment and without the need to write or edit software programs or scripts.

The NIMH-funded Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) Study was a nationwide public health-focused clinical trial that compared the effectiveness of older (first available in the 1950s) and newer (available since the 1990s) antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia. These newer medications, known as atypical antipsychotics, cost roughly 10 times as much as the older medications. CATIE is the largest, longest, and most comprehensive independent trial ever done to examine existing therapies for this disease. Schizophrenia is a brain disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking. The course of schizophrenia is variable, but usually is recurrent and chronic, often causing severe disability. Previous studies have shown that taking antipsychotic medications consistently is far more effective than taking no medicine and that the drugs are necessary to manage the disease. The aim of the CATIE study was to determine which medications provide the best treatment for schizophrenia.

A software tool providing a Web interface and a database back-end for collecting clinical symptoms and physical findings observed in patients with genetic disorders. The main goals of this software are * To allow for collecting patient data in standard formats, enabling effortless data exchange and automated search in annotated gene and disease databases, and * To provide advanced functionalities and a friendly user interface that help reduce the clinician''''s workload, permitting seamless use of this application within the clinician''''s routine. PhenoTips uses the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) to express clinical phenotypes, and provides a friendly interface with error-tolerant, predictive search of phenotypic descriptions. PhenoTips closely mirrors clinician workflows: observations can be recorded directly during the patient encounter, and the interface is compatible with any device that runs a modern Web browser. The clinician can record demographic information, family history, medical history, various standard measurements, phenotypic abnormalities detected in the patient, pertinent indications that were not observed and that can be helpful for differential diagnosis, relevant images depicting manifestations of the patient''''s disorders, and additional notes for each of these categories. The software automatically plots growth curves, selects phenotypes reflecting abnormal measurements, instantly finds OMIM disorders matching the phenotypic description and suggests other symptoms to investigate in order to reach a more accurate diagnosis.

The aim of this work is to present a toolbox for structure segmentation of structural MRI images. All programs were developed in MATLAB based on a widely used fMRI, MRI software package, SPM99, SPM2, SPM5 (Wellcome Department of Cognitive Neurology, London, UK). Other previous works have developed a similar strategy for obtaining the segmentation of individual MRI image into different anatomical structures using a standardized Atlas. Have to be mentioned the one introduced by Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) that merges the information coming from ANIMAL (algorithm that deforms one image (nonlinear registration) to match previously labelled) and INSECT (Cerebral Tissue Classification) programs for obtaining a suitable gross cortical structure segmentation (Collins et al, 1999). Here both, nonlinear registration and gray matter segmentation processes have been performed through SPM99, SPM2, SPM5 subroutines. Three principal elements for the labeling process are used: gray matter segmentation, normalization transform matrix (that maps voxels from individual space to standardized one) and MaxPro MNI Atlas. All three are combined to yield a good performance in segmenting gross cortical structures. The programs here can be used in general for any standardized Atlas and any MRI image modality. System Requirements: 1. The IBASPM graphical user interface (GUI) runs only under MATLAB 7.0 or higher. The non-graphical version runs under MATLAB 6.5 or higher. 2. Statistical Parametrical Mapping Software SPM2, SPM5 Main Functions: * Atlasing: Main function ( This file contains spm_select script from SPM5 toolbox and uigetdir script from MATLAB 7.0 ). * Auto_Labeling : Computes individual atlas. * Create_SPAMs : Constructs Statistical Probability Anatomy Maps (SPAMs). * Create_MaxProb : Creates Maximum Probability Atlas (MaxPro) using the SPAMs previously computed. * All_Brain_Vol : Computes whole brain volume masking the brain using the segmentation files (if the segmentation files does not exist it segments). * Struct_Vol : Computes the volume for different structures based on individual Atlas previously obtained by the atlasing process. * Vols_Stats : Computes mean and standard deviation for each structure in a group of individual atlases.

A computational software toolbox for allele-specific (AS) epigenomics analysis. It incorporates allelic variation data within existing resources, allowing for the identification of significant associations between epigenetic modifications and specific allelic variants in human and mouse cells. It provides a customizable pipeline of command line tools for AS analysis of next-generation sequencing data (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, etc.) that takes the raw sequencing data and produces separate allelic tracks ready to be viewed on genome browsers. ALEA takes advantage of the available genomic resources for human (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium) and mouse (The Mouse Genome Project) to reconstruct diploid in-silico genomes for human or hybrid mice under study. Then, for each accompanying ChIP-seq or RNA-seq dataset, it generates two Wiggle track format (WIG) files from short reads aligned differentially to each haplotype.
