THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Project Halo is a staged, long-range research effort by Vulcan Inc. towards the development of a Digital Aristotlea reasoning system capable of answering novel questions and solving advanced problems in a broad range of scientific disciplines and related human affairs. The project focuses on creating two primary functions: a tutor capable of instructing and assessing students in those subjects, and a research assistant with broad, interdisciplinary skills to help scientists and others in their work. Vulcan began work towards this ambitious vision in 2003 with the Halo Pilot a six-month effort to investigate the feasibility of creating a scientific knowledge base capable of answering novel questions from the AP (1st year college level) chemistry test. Three teams SRI International, Cycorp, and Ontoprise developed knowledge bases, for a limited section of an AP-chemistry syllabus, that were able to correctly answer 40 to 50 percent of the associated questions from the AP test. Since 2004, Project Halo has worked to improve these systems, with an emphasis on enabling knowledge entry by domain experts, instead of specialists in artificial intelligence software. In 2004, Vulcan began the development of Automated User-Centered Reasoning and Acquisition System (AURA), by SRI, that enables domain experts (graduate students in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) to enter knowledge from introductory science textbooks. In 2006, an evaluation of AURA showed that students could create AURA knowledge bases that correctly answered 40 percent of the questions on a limited AP exam. In 2008, the next evaluation demonstrated an improvement of that score to 70 percent correct. In parallel, Project Halo has sponsored Ontoprise to develop semantic extensions to MediaWiki, the software that Wikipedia runs on. Ontoprise has developed a set of Semantic MediaWiki (SMW)+ extensions to MediaWiki that provide a community-based environment for authoring ontologies and creating semantically enhanced wikis. SMW+ has been widely used and is being applied in project management, enterprise collaboration and knowledge management, business intelligence, and the management of large terminology sets. In 2007, Vulcan began a new effort, Halo Advanced Research (HalAR), to address the difficult knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) challenges that prevent the realization of Digital Aristotle. This effort has produced a new semantic rule language and reasoning system, Semantic Inferencing on Large Knowledge (SILK), which includes major advances, including for default and higher-order reasoning over the web.

Repository of biospecimen and phenotype data collected from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis cases and controls recruited at six sites throughout North America that are available to the scientific community. Phenotyping is performed using a standardized protocol, and lymphoblastoid cell lines are established for each subject. Phenotype data for each subject are collected by the Consortium's Data Coordinating Center (DCC), and phenotype data for all subjects with DNA samples are available. The resulting DNA samples have already been utilized by the Consortium to complete various association studies, including genome-wide association studies using dense genotyping arrays. Researchers can obtain DNA samples and phenotype, genotype, and pedigree data through the Data Repository. GWAS data must be requested through dbGAP. The IBDGC is involved with independent genetic research studies and actively works with members of the IBD and genetic communities on collaborative projects. They are also members of the International IBD Genetics Consortium. Phenotype Tools: The Consortium Phenotype Committee, led by Dr. Hillary Steinhart designed and validated paper forms to collect extensive phenotype data on Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. Consortium phenotype tools are available for use by non-Consortium members.

A software infrastructure, course and tool set for teaching bioinformatics, and biology through the use of models. This platform for learning bioinformatics through problem solving aims to make learning bioinformatics fun and easy. Learning bioinformatics usually requires solving computational problems of varying difficulty that are extracted from real challenges of molecular biology. Rosalind offers an array of intellectually stimulating problems that grow in biological and computational complexity; each problem is checked automatically, so that the only resource required to learn bioinformatics is an internet connection. Rosalind also promises to facilitate improvements in standard bioinformatics education by providing a vital teaching aid and a central homework resource. Rosalind is inspired by Project Euler, Google Code Jam, and the ever growing movement of free online courses. The project''s name commemorates Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray crystallography with Raymond Gosling facilitated the discovery of the DNA double helix by Watson and Crick. We hope that Rosalind will inspire a new generation of bioinformatics students by attracting biologists who want to develop vital programming skills at their own pace in a unique environment as well as programmers who have never been exposed to some of the stimulating computational problems generated by molecular biology.

Collection of isogenic human cell lines that are deficient for the expression of single genes. The current collection is based on the human cell line KBM-7 (Kotecki et al. Experimental Cell Research 1999), which is haploid for all chromosomes except chromosome 8 and a small part of chromosome 15. In these cells, genes are disrupted by the means of a retroviral gene trap. The collection is being expanded to cover the majority of expressed genes. The Human Gene Trap Mutant Collection is generated as a public-private partnership between CeMM (the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) and Haplogen.

The mission of the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) is to stimulate and encourage meritorious research on women's health, including the role of sex and gender in health and disease. The priorities signify approaches and areas for which there is a need to stimulate and encourage research on women's health, or sex/gender factors, and the advancement of women in biomedical research careers. These research priorities are not an exclusive list of research areas important to women's health; therefore other innovative or significant research areas should also be considered. The following four overarching themes are important for addressing research on women's health: Lifespan, Sex/Gender Determinants, Health Disparities/Differences and Diversity, ad Interdisciplinary Research. Special Areas of Emphasis - Prevention/Treatment: from basic biological factors, including identifying and validating biomarkers, to risk and its applications to disease prevention, early detection, and treatment. - Sex and Genetics/Pharmacogenomics: genetic, molecular, and cellular basis for action of pharmacologic agents known to have different effects in females than in males. Research on effects of sex as a modifier of gene function and response is under-investigated. Sponsors: This research is funded by the NAtional Institutes of Health.
