A project that aims to improve access to human health data by developing a common information framework (EMIF-Platform) that allows for efficient re-use of existing health data, opening up new avenues of research for scientists. To ensure immediate applicability, the project includes two specific therapeutic research topics: the onset of Alzheimer's Disease (EMIF-AD) and metabolic complications of obesity (EMIF-Metabolics). The AD Topic aims to discover and validate biomarkers of AD onset in the preclinical and prodromal phase as well as for disease progression and identify high-risk individuals for therapeutic trials for prevention. The Metabolic Topic aims to discover and evaluate biomarkers for the risk of metabolic complications in obesity and to identify high-risk populations for intervention purposes. Collaboration between the 3 topics will ensure the development and delivery of an efficient Information Framework. This initiative has combined several data sets for neuroimaging including ADNI and several others, curating them into transmart.

http://downsyndrome.ucsd.edu/index.php

The Down Syndrome Center for Research and Treatment (DSCRT) is one of the first programs in the country to connect academic research with treatment of adults and children with Down syndrome. Our goal is to apply cutting edge basic research to develop treatments that will help people with Down syndrome improve their cognition and forestall the onset of Alzheimer''s disease. Members of this special population continue to live fuller, healthier lives. We hope to build on this progress and advance their potential even further. About 400,000 people with Down syndrome live in the U.S. today, and one in every 733 babies is born with the condition. Children with Down syndrome are at risk for congenital heart defects, respiratory and hearing problems, childhood leukemia, and thyroid conditions. They typically also have mild to moderate cognitive impairment that affects learning, memory and speech. This is an important topic for research. With increased health care, education, and societal support, people with Down syndrome are living longer, fuller lives. But as they age we are discovering an increased occurrence of the symptoms associated with Alzheimer''s disease. In fact, about 25 percent of individuals with Down syndrome over age 35 increasingly show clinical signs and symptoms of Alzheimer''s type dementia. By age 60, more than half show cognitive decline.

http://mvz.berkeley.edu/

The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) at the University of California, Berkeley, is a center for research and education in the biology of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Founded in 1908, the Museum''s mission is to document and increase understanding of the diversity of terrestrial vertebrates, with particular emphasis on western North America. An MVZ Video Gallery is also available. The superb collections are at the heart of the MVZ program, where methods of field biology are combined with modern laboratory techniques and analytical methods in a comprehensive, synthetic approach. Our goals are to remain at the forefront of international research on evolutionary biology from the perspectives of systematics, ecology, behavior, functional and developmental morphology, population biology, and evolutionary genomics, and to lead the way in developing and using major natural history collections for research, education, and solving problems in biodiversity conservation. Because the MVZ was founded upon a philosophy that organisms should be studied in relationship to their natural environments, its collections are supplemented by extensive ancillary information (e.g., field notes, habitat photographs, tape-recorded vocalizations) that is connected to specimens and/or tissues and enhances their value to researchers. This concept was pioneered at the MVZ and continues to be the primary focus of current research efforts. To this end, there are strong research links between the Museum and the 2,000 acre MVZ/UC field station at Hastings Natural History Reservation. In addition, the MVZ is actively engaged in developing concepts and tools for Biodiversity Informatics through collaborations across the Berkeley Natural History Museums and international consortia.

http://jjwanglab.org/snvrap

The web portal provides comprehensive local database of human genome variants with a user-friendly web page that provides a one-stop annotating and funtonal prediction service which is both convenient and up-to-date. A query can be accepted as either a dbSNP Id or a chromosomal location and our system will instantly provide all the annotation information in an interactive LD panel. The system can also simultaneously prioritize this variant based on additive effect mode by corresponding annotation information and evaluate the variant effect that is then displayed in a prioritization tree. Furthermore, cohort sequencing continuously produces lots of un-annotated variants such as rare variants or de novo variants, and our system can even fit this data by accepting genomic coordinates (hg19) to offer maximal annotations. Main Functions Over 40 up-to-date annotation items for human single nucleotide variations; Functional prediction for different types of variants; Dynamic LD panel for both HapMap and 1000 Genomes Project populations; Prioritization score and tree viewer based on variant functional model.

http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/2011/02/01/epub-wordpress-plugin-released-today/

Martin Fenner''s blog is about a WordPress plugin that he created that automatically creates ePub files from blog posts - they are created in the background when you save a blog post. The plugin can be installed directly from your WordPress installation. For now the plugin, ePub Export, only stores the text and images, but the next version should allow embedding of all kinds of files, most importantly data. ePub is a very interesting document format for scholarly publishing and has several advantages over PDF, including: * ePub can be used for all steps in the creation of a scholarly document, including data collection, authoring, annotating and peer review. There is no need for time-consuming and expensive format conversions. Currently most manuscripts are submitted in Microsoft Word or LateX formats, and then converted first to XML and then to HTML and PDF. Metadata such as author identifiers, digital object identifiers and semantic information can be added early on and don''t get lost in a format conversion. * ePub makes it easy to include supplementary material, e.g. video and other multimedia content, the datasets used in the publication (particularly the data used for tables and figures), all cited references in BibTeX format, etc. * ePub is much better suited for reading on mobile devices, as the format allows reflowing of content. Most articles today are printed from the PDF and then read, but this behavior is rapidly changing.
