Ontology that contains the former BIRNLex-Disease, version 1.3.2. -- The BIRN Project lexicon provided entities for data and database annotation for the BIRN project, covering anatomy, disease, data collection, project management and experimental design. It was built using the organizational framework provided by the foundational Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). It used an abstract biomedical layer on top of that - OBO-UBO which was constructed as a proposal to the OBO Foundry. This was meant to support creating a sharable view of core biomedical objects such as biomaterial_entity, and organismal_entity that all biomedical ontologies are likely to need and want to use with the same intended meaning. The BIRNLex biomaterial entities have already been factored to separately maintained ontology - BIRNLexBiomaterialEntity.owl which this BIRNLex-Main.owl file imports. The Ontology of Biomedical Investigation (OBI) is also imported and forms the foundation for the formal description of all experiment-related artifacts. The BIRNLex will serve as the basis for construction of a formal ontology for the multiscale investigation of neurological disease.

http://www.lifeextensionfoundation.org/

Established in 1980, the Life Extension Foundation is a nonprofit organization, whose long-range goal is to radically extend the healthy human lifespan by discovering scientific methods to control aging and eradicate disease. The largest organization of its kind in the world, the Life Extension Foundation has always been at the forefront of discovering new scientific breakthroughs for use in developing novel disease prevention and treatment protocols to improve the quality and length of human life. Through its private funding of research programs aimed at identifying and developing new therapies to slow and even reverse the aging process, the Life Extension Foundation seeks to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, such age-related killers as heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer''s disease. Long-time members are keenly aware of the scientific research that Life Extension Foundation funds to develop validated methods to slow and reverse the aging process. Less known is Life Extension''s multi-prong program to develop safer and more effective cancer therapies. One reason we focus so heavily on cancer research is that this dreaded disease represents a roadblock in our ability to develop effective means to combat aging.

http://pathema.jcvi.org/Pathema/index.html

Pathema is one of the eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers designed to serve as a core resource for the bio-defense and infectious disease research community. Pathema strives to support basic research and accelerate scientific progress for understanding, detecting, diagnosing and treating an established set of six target NIAID Category A-C pathogens: Category A priority pathogens; Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, and Category B priority pathogens; Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Clostridium perfringens and Entamoeba histolytica. Each target pathogen is represented in one of four distinct clade-specific Pathema web resources and underlying databases developed to target the specific data and analysis needs of each scientific community. All publicly available complete genome projects of phylogenetically related organisms are also represented, providing a comprehensive collection of organisms for comparative analyses. Pathema facilitates the scientific exploration of genomic and related data through its integration with web-based analysis tools, customized to obtain, display, and compute results relevant to ongoing pathogen research. Pathema serves the bio-defense and infectious disease research community by disseminating data resulting from pathogen genome sequencing projects and providing access to the results of inter-genomic comparisons for these organisms. The Pathema BRC contract ends in December 2009. At that time JCVI will cease maintenance of the Pathema web resource and data. The PATRIC team, located at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, created and maintains a consolidated BRC for all of the NIAID category A-C priority pathogenic bacteria. The EuPathDB team at the University of Pennsylvania will support all eukaryotic pathogens. Pathema transferred all data and software to PATRIC and EuPathDB for incorporation into their new Web-based bioinformatics resource.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/alfresco/

The aim is to develop a new visualization tool that allows effective comparative genome sequence analysis. The program will compare multiple sequences from putitatively homologous regions in different species. Results from various different existing analysis programs, such as gene prediction, protein homology and regulatory sequence prediction programs shall be visualized and used to find corresponding sequence domains. The program functions as an stand-alone application and also over the World Wide Web. With this in mind it is being developed using the Java programming language. A key feature of the program is to use available analysis programs relevant to comparative genome sequence analysis, combine the results of these, and graphically present them in an intuitive way, thereby facilitating the analysis of large genomic regions. We''ve decided to call this program Alfresco. We originally wanted to call it Fresco (FRont-End for Sequence COmparison) but that name was already taken. To run Alfresco you need to have jdk1.1 installed. Alfresco has only been tested on Solaris 2.5, Dec OSF 4.0D and Linux, but should run on any machine with jdk1.1. New: Alfresco now runs on Mac and Windows as well.

http://bti.cornell.edu/

BTI is unique in being a private, not-for-profit research institute dedicated to plant biology, and located on a major university campus. Its mission is to advance and communicate scientific knowledge in plant biology to improve agriculture, protect the environment, and enhance human health. The institute was founded in Yonkers, New York, next to the home of its benefactor, William Boyce Thompson. In the mid-1970''s, however, it was recognized that a physical presence on a university campus would catapult the institute to a higher level of research, and the Cornell affiliation was born. BTI hires its own faculty, postdoctoral scholars and technicians, but also hosts undergraduate and graduate researchers from Cornell. BTI faculty generally have adjunct appointments at Cornell, and participate in graduate training and other university affairs. As envisioned in the Agreement of Affiliation, the partnership is advantageous for both parties, and contributes to a singularly strong environment for fundamental plant research on the campus. William Boyce Thompson founded BTI in 1924 on the premise that basic plant research leads to real benefits for people. Many potential applications of BTI research are to improve crops by increasing yield or nutritional content, or decreasing the need for harmful fertilizers and pesticides. Other research could lead to inexpensive plant-made vaccines, or even shed light on the human immune system. With aims like these in mind, scientists at BTI study life at the scale of genes and proteins to learn about processes such as how plants detect light, or how they respond when aphids bite into them. Along with research, BTI''s mission includes environmental responsibility and outreach to teachers, students, and community members. Though it remains an independent, non-profit institution, BTI is affiliated with Cornell University and is located on its Ithaca, New York campus.
