PubMatrix is a web-based tool that allows simple text based mining of the NCBI literature search service PubMed using any two lists of keywords terms, resulting in a frequency matrix of term co-occurrence. PubMatrix is a simple way to rapidly and systematically compare any list of terms against any other list of terms in PubMed. It reports back the frequency of co-occurrence between all pairwise comparisons between the two lists as a matrix table. Lists of terms can be anything; gene names, diseases, gene functions, authors, etc. The user can then quickly sort or browse the frequency matrix table to do individual searches independently. This allows the user to build up tables of word relationships in PubMed in the context of your experiments or your scientific interests. This is useful for analyzing combinatorial datasets, as found with multiplex experimental systems, such as cDNA microarrays, genomic, proteomic, or other multiplex comparisons. The PubMatrix database is an archive of previous searches on many topics. Sponsors: PubMatrix is supported by the National Institutes of Health.

PubCrawler is a free alerting service that scans daily updates to the NCBI Medline (PubMed) and GenBank databases. PubCrawler helps keeping scientists informed of the current contents of Medline and GenBank, by listing new database entries that match their research interests. The free PubCrawler web service has been operating for five years and so far has brought literature and sequence updates to over 22 000 users. It provides information on a personalized web page whenever new articles appear in PubMed or when new sequences are found in GenBank that are specific to customized queries. The server also acts as an automatic alerting system by sending out short notifications or emails with the latest updates as soon as they become available. PubCrawler searches the NCBI PubMed (Medline) and Entrez (GenBank) databases daily using search parameters (keywords, author names, etc.) specified by the user. There is no limit on the number of searches that can be carried out. Previous search hits are stored and only the newest PubMed or GenBank records are shown each day. The results are presented as an HTML Web page, similar to the results of an NCBI PubMed or Entrez query. This Web page can be located on our computer (the PubCrawler WWW-Service), on your computer (the stand-alone program), or you can receive it via e-mail (set this up using the PubCrawler WWW-Service). The Web page sorts the results into groups of PubMed/GenBank entries that are zero-days-old, 1-day-old, 2-days-old, etc., up to a user-specified age limit. Sponsors: Development of PubCrawler was supported by EMBnet

NIH initiative to support production of cDNA libraries, clones and 5'/3' sequences and to provide set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. Clones distribution is outsourced to for profit companies. Project concluded in September 2008. Resources generated by XGC are publicly accessible to biomedical research community. All sequences are deposited into GenBank.Corresponding clones are available through IMAGE clone distribution network. With conclusion of XGC project, GenBank records of XGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since knowledge of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have XGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order XGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

http://www.vetmed.lsu.edu/Summer_Scholars_Program.htm

The aim of the Summer Scholars Program is to provide veterinary medical students the opportunity to explore the world of biomedical research, develop and complete a biomedical research project during the summer. The intent is to engage students in a creative, problem-solving research activity and to provide a learning experience that will lead to the discovery of new knowledge in an area of their choosing and identify potential pathways to a career in biomedical research. Research plans will be developed by students with faculty mentor input, on any topic of interest to the student and likely to lead to the discovery of new information. Example topics are: immunology and infectious diseases, cancer biology, molecular epidemiology, experimental studies focused on nutrition and obesity, pharmacology, environmental toxicology, mechanisms of pathogenesis, zoonoses, biomechanics, cardiovascular pathophysiology, and others. The mentor and other advisors will provide guidance to students and an assessment of progress. Students will provide at completion of the study, an oral presentation of their results to their colleagues and all mentors and a presentation of results via posters at the annual Merial NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium, to be held in 2010 at the University of Georgia, and at the LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. It is noteworthy that one Summer Scholar won an award at the 2008 LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. LSU Students will receive elective credit in the curriculum (VMED 5010 or VMED 5463) for successful completion of the program. Students will be strongly encouraged to work with their mentors to publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals separately or as a smaller piece of work with their mentors. Sponsors: The program is funded by a Merial Foundation grant and an NIH T35 training grant.

The Confederation of Cancer Biobanks (CCB) is a consortium of organisations based in the UK that are involved in the development, management and use of biobank resources for cancer research. The Confederation aims to promote and disseminate a collective view on best practices for biobanks and to promote transfer of knowledge and experiences between banks. While individual banks retain their full autonomy, membership leads to mutual benefit, ensures complementarities, avoids unnecessary competition and ensures a coordinated approach to cancer biosample provision. This will benefit all involved by allowing the sharing of expertise and information, the establishment of harmonized standards for the operation of cancer biobanks and provide a means to access a larger pool of biosamples from the confederated banks. The initial achievements of the NCRI Confederation of Cancer Biobanks were the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding for the founder members of the Confederation, and a document outlining the Guiding Principles for the management and operation of a tissue bank / biobank in the contemporary ethical and legal setting. Any organization based in the UK, which collects and distributes biosamples for cancer research (not necessarily in the UK), may apply to join. CCB Members receive: * access to the Members Area of the web site containing shared resources * inclusion in email discussion fora with other members * networking opportunities with other members * inclusion in a collective voice to research funders, policy makers, legislators and others * inclusion in the NCRI''s new on-line sample directory * one free registration for each CCB workshop * a future opportunity to pursue accreditation/quality endorsement for the bank * a potential future opportunity for your donors to join a donor forum, which provides patients/sample donors with a mechanism of keeping in touch with research biobanking activities.
