Comprehensive listing of androgen receptor gene mutations published in journals and meetings proceedings. The majority of mutations are point mutations identified in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Information is included regarding the phenotype, the nature and location of the mutations, as well as the effects of the mutations on the androgen binding activity of the receptor. In light of the difficulty in getting new AR mutations published the curator will now accept new mutations that have not been published, provided that it is from a reputable research or clinical laboratory. The database incorporates information on the exon 1 CAG repeat expansion disease, spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), as well as CAG repeat length variations associated with risk for female breast, uterine endometrial, colorectal, and prostate cancer, as well as for male infertility. The possible implications of somatic mutations, as opposed to germline mutations, in the development of future locus-specific mutation databases (LSDBs) is discussed.
The database now provides information on the external genitalia and on sex - of - rearing. Additionally, the new version of the database has an entry to show if pathogenicity has been proven. A pdf and fully searchable version of the Database is available for download.

TerMine is a Term Management System which identifies key phrases in text. This freely available service may be used from your browser for lightweight uses, through a batch service for processing documents larger than 2MB, via a SOAP Service for integrating TerMine with your applications, or by using the TerMine Plugin for Prot��g�� to access TerMine from within Prot��g�� to help populate your OWL ontologies. Technical terms are important for knowledge mining, especially in the bio-medical area where vast amount of documents are available. The amount of terms (e.g., names of genes, proteins, chemical compounds, drugs, organisms, etc) is increasing at an astounding rate in the bio-medical literature. Existing terminological resources and scientific databases cannot keep up-to-date with the growth of neologisms. A domain independent method for term recognition is very useful to automatically recognize terms from documents. TerMine is the terminological management system with the C-Value term extraction and AcroMine acronym recognition integrated. As a freely available service from the academic domain, it is necessary to limit server load and give preference to individual users. Please contact us in advance if you plan to use the service for bulk processing. Excessive server load may result in IP addresses or institutions being blocked from using the TerMine service. There is a limit enforced on how many times unregistered users may use this service per day. Reference: Frantzi, K., Ananiadou, S. and Mima, H. (2000)Automatic recognition of multi-word terms.

http://virtualhumanembryo.lsuhsc.edu/

A digital image database of serially sectioned human embryos from the Carnegie Collection originally developed as a collaboration between embryologist Dr. Raymond Gasser at Louisiana State University Health Science Center (LSUHSC) and the Human Developmental Anatomy Center (HDAC) in Washington D.C. The aim of the project is to increase understanding of human embryology and to encourage study of human embryonic development by providing students and researchers with reliable resources for human embryo morphology. The VHE project has several components: * DREM: The Digitally Reproduced Embryonic Morphology (DREM) project, with funding from NICHD, project has produced 27 image databases of labeled serial sections from representative human embryos at each of the 23 Carnegie stages. These databases, together with animations and reconstructions of the embryos are available on DVD and CD. * HEIRLOOM: The HEIRLOOM Collection (Human Embryo Imaging and Reconstruction, Library Of Online Media) was funded by the National Library of Medicine to provide greater access to the DREM databases. NLM provided funding to set up this website and to produce additional 3D-reconstructions and animations that are included on the DREM disks. Original website, http://virtualhumanembryo.lsuhsc.edu/HEIRLOOM/heirloom.htm * EHD: Starting in 2011, The Endowment for Human Development (EHD) will also host the VHE databases. They have made the project accessible to everyone and include a comprehensive cataloging of all the terms used to label the embryos. Their website enables users to browse through the complete VHE atlas of human embryology, http://www.ehd.org/virtual-human-embryo/

Blog about the interests of the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. They use tools from physics, mathematics and computer science to help us better understand the behavior of biological systems, large and small. Jobs and postdoc positions are available under the corresponding categories. Interests: * Methods for quantitative measurement, and for data analysis. Although much is said about the flood of new data in biology, nearly every time you want to understand a biological system at a mathematical or mechanical level you find that the numbers you need most are missing. Measuring and extracting the parameters that describe key features of the system is a major interest. * Theoretical and computational methods that can cope with the special features of biological systems. Issues such as combinatorial complexity, stochasticity, and variation from individual to individual and tissue to tissue are hard to deal with using conventional tools. * Philosophies of modeling. How do we represent what we know about the system what level of abstraction is appropriate for a given question, what is important and what can be ignored? What are models useful for? * Evolution. One of the more useful tools to identify what''s important is evolution a comparison across species helps to show what is allowed to change and what is not. * Synthetic biology. If I understand it, can I build it? (And in any case, can I build useful stuff?) They will post thoughts about recent papers in the literature that they find interesting, news about the Department, and information about Department Alumni. Please check back frequently, and feel free to comment.

The HumanCyc database describes human metabolic pathways and the human genome. By presenting metabolic pathways as an organizing framework for the human genome, HumanCyc provides the user with an extended dimension for functional analysis of Homo sapiens at the genomic level. A computational pathway analysis of the human genome assigned human enzymes to predicted metabolic pathways. Pathway assignments place genes in their larger biological context, and are a necessary step toward quantitative modeling of metabolism. HumanCyc contains the complete genome sequence of Homo sapiens, as presented in Build 31. Data on the human genome from Ensembl, LocusLink and GenBank were carefully merged to create a minimally redundant human gene set to serve as an input to SRI''s PathoLogic software, which generated the database and predicted Homo sapiens metabolic pathways from functional information contained in the genome''s annotation. SRI did not re-annotate the genome, but worked with the gene function assignments in Ensembl, LocusLink, and GenBank. The resulting pathway/genome database (PGDB) includes information on 28,783 genes, their products and the metabolic reactions and pathways they catalyze. Also included are many links to other databases and publications. The Pathway Tools software/database bundle includes HumanCyc and the Pathway Tools software suite and is available under license. This form of HumanCyc is faster and more powerful than the Web version.

A knowledge-based coarse-grained tool for modeling RNA structures. It produces a diverse set of plausible 3D structures that satisfy user-provided constraints based on: 1. primary sequence 2. known or predicted secondary structure 3. known or predicted tertiary contacts (optional) Additionally, NAST can use residue-resolution experimental data (e.g. hydroxyl radical footprinting) to filter the generated decoy structures. NAST uses an RNA-specific knowledge-based potential in a coarse-grained molecular dynamics engine to generate large numbers of plausible 3D structures that satisfy the constraints given on the secondary and tertiary structure. It then filter these structures based on agreement to the experimental data (if available). This results in a model of the molecule which satisfies all the known residue-resolution data.
