The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) project, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a national study focusing on learning more about the factors that increase a person''s risk of having a stroke. REGARDS is an observational study of risk factors for stroke in adults 45 years or older. 30,239 participants were recruited between January 2003 and October 2007. They completed a telephone interview followed by an in-home physical exam. Measurements included traditional risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and an echocardiogram of the heart. At six month intervals, participants are contacted by phone to ask about stroke symptoms, hospitalizations and general health status. The study is ongoing and will follow participants for many years. The purpose of the REGARDS project is to understand why people in some parts of the country develop more strokes than people in other parts of the country, and why blacks develop more strokes than whites. We hope to learn how to reduce the number of people having strokes.

Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.

http://ani.embl.de/4DXpress

This database provides a platform to query and compare gene expression data during the development of the major model animals (zebrafish, drosophila, medaka, mouse). The name 4DXpress stands for expression database in 4D. The 4D (four dimensions) of 4DXpress can be interpreted either as: 3 spatial dimensions plus time, or as 1. species 2. gene 3. developmental stage 4. anatomical structure. The major focus of this database lies in cross species comparison. The high resolution expression data was acquired through whole mount in situ hybridsation-, antibody- or transgenic experiments. Data was integrated from several species specific expression pattern databases, such as ZFIN, BDGP, GXD, MEPD as well as directly submitted by researchers of the participating groups at EMBL. The 4DXpress database is a project within the Centre for Computational Biology at EMBL. It is developed by Yannick Haudry, Thorsten Henrich and Ivica Letunic and coordinated by Thorsten Henrich. Hugo Berube is developing the 4D ArrayExpress Data Warehouse at EBI for integrating in situ data with microarray data.

Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW) is the continuing effort to collect the HLA phenotypes of volunteer stem cell donors and cord blood units, and is responsible for the co-ordination of their worldwide distribution. Participants are 63 stem cell donor registries from 44 countries, and 43 cord blood banks from 25 countries. The current number of donors and cord blood units in the BMDW database is: 14,605,618 (14,178,976 donors and 426,642 CBU''s The original goal to collect the HLA phenotypes of volunteer stem cell donors and cord blood units, and to co-ordinate their world-wide distribution remain their primary goals. But new initiatives have been added: - To maximise the chance of finding a stem cell donor or cord blood unit by providing access to all stem cell donors and cord blood units available in the world. - To minimise the effort required for stem cell donor or cord blood unit searches: only registries with potential stem cell donors or cord blood units need to be contacted. - To provide an estimate of the chance of finding a stem cell donor or cord blood unit for a given patient. - To provide advanced search programs to identify partially matched stem cell donors or cord blood units. - To facilitate search advice requests via the Internet. - To facilitate improvements in family search strategies. - To provide relevant general information for the benefit of the patient. - To provide statistics on the increase of different registries, the number of DNA typed donors, etc. Sponsors: Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide is an initiative of the Immunobiology Working Party of the European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) in 1988.

For more than 75 years, the division of biology has provided many of the major research advances that have made biology the premier science of the 21st century, and has trained many of the world''s most eminent biologists. The division at present has 38 professors of various ranks, who in their classes and laboratories have approximately 100 undergraduates, 100 graduate students, and 160 postdoctoral scholars, as well as more than 250 staff members. We occupy parts or all of seven buildings on the Caltech campus; we also operate a marine laboratory 50 miles from campus. Each building is devoted to state-of-the-art educational facilities and cutting-edge laboratories. We have three major research emphases: Structural, Molecular and Cell Biology; Developmental and Regulatory Biology; and Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience. In each area we are trying to solve one of the great problems of modern biology: How do the proteins and other components of cells interact to provide a marvelous nanomachine of more than 100,000 integrated parts, a machine that has numerous extraordinary functions and can reproduce itself? How does a single cell become, by division and formation of new cell types, an entire multicellular organism, which in the case of humans has thousands of different cell types and more than 1 trillion different cells in specific places, communicating to form complex organs? How does the brain, the most complex organ of all, work to allow calculations beyond those of any computer, as well as to demonstrate amazing sensory capabilities, emotions, and consciousness?

Welcome to the Bayesian Analysis of Common NMR Problems software home page. This Bayesian analysis software is a series of programs with a Java interface that use Bayesian probability theory to solve common data analysis problems that occur in the sciences and in NMR in particular. Click here for a complete list of the applications addressed. The programs that run the various Bayesian analysis, the server software, were developed at Washington University by Dr. G. Larry Bretthorst and the Java language client interface was developed by Dr. Karen Marutyan. The combination of the server and client software is called the Bayesian Analysis of Common NMR Problems software. However, this name is slightly misleading because this software can analyze data from many different sources, not just NMR data. Additionally, unlike the previous interface to this software, this new interface does not require the user to have access to any specialized NMR software, i.e., this interface is completely independent of Varian''s VnmrJ, although the interface can load and process data from a Varian spectrometer. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the Washington University in St. Louis. Keywords: Analysis, Software, Java, Theory, Science, NMR, Server, Data, Spectrometer,

Database containing the DNA sequence and annotation of the entire human chromosome 7, encompassing nearly 158 million nucleotides of DNA and 1917 gene structures, are presented; the most up to date collation of sequence, gene, and other annotations from all databases (eg. Celera published, NCBI, Ensembl, RIKEN, UCSC) as well as unpublished data. To generate a higher order description, additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease. The objective of this project is to generate a comprehensive description of human chromosome 7 to facilitate biological discovery, disease gene research and medical genetic applications. There are over 360 disease-associated genes or loci on chromosome 7. A major challenge ahead will be to represent chromosome alterations, variants, and polymorphisms and their related phenotypes (or lack thereof), in an accessible way. In addition to being a primary data source, this site serves as a weighing station for testing community ideas and information to produce highly curated data to be submitted to other databases such as NCBI, Ensembl, and UCSC. Therefore, any useful data submitted will be curated and shown in this database. All Chromosome 7 genomic clones (cosmids, BACs, YACs) listed in GBrowser and in other data tables are freely distributed.
