This page describes the contents of a database of 1.7 million model neurons. This database is available for interested researchers after contacting the creators, but is not web accessible. The construction and analysis of the database are described in detail in Prinz AA, Billimoria CP, Marder E (2003). Alternative to hand-tuning conductance-based models: construction and analysis of databases of model neurons. J Neurophysiol 90: 3998-4015. Because of its size (over 6 GB even in the zipped version), it is not practicable to download the database over the internet. Instead, we have made multiple copies of the database on sets of two DVDs each. We are happy to send a set of DVDs to anybody who is interested upon e-mail request to Astrid Prinz.

This is an open-source Mouse Exonic Evidence-Based Oligonucleotide Chip (MEEBOChip), and are in the process of building the human counterpart, HEEBOChip. The set of 70mers for MEEBOChip is already available from Illumina, Inc., with synthesis of HEEBOChip 70mers in progress. Both arrays are based on a novel selection of exonic long-oligonucleotides (70-mers) from a genomic annotation of the corresponding complete genome sequences, using a transcriptome-based annotation of exon structure for each genomic locus. Using a combination of existing and custom-tailored tools and datasets (including millions of mRNA and EST sequences), we built and performed a systematic examination of transcript-supported exon structure for each genomic locus at the base-pair level (i.e., exonic evidence). This strategy allowed them to select both constitutive and in many cases alternative exons for nearly every gene in the corresponding genome (e.g., protocadherin locus), allowing an unprecedented exploration of human and mouse biology. Furthermore, they used experimentally derived data to hone the selection of these 70mers, helping maximize their performance under typical fluorescent labeling and hybridization conditions. Specifically, they applied and refined the ArrayOligoSelector algorithm from Joe DeRisis laboratory to select 70mers, considering not only their uniqueness (i.e., hybridization specificity) within the content of the entire genome, but also to overcome the known biases of labeling and hybridization methods (e.g., 3-biased reverse transcription and in vitro transcription reactions).

The HIV Brain Sequence Database (HIVBrainSeqDB) is a public database of HIV envelope sequences, directly sequenced from brain and other tissues from the same patients. For inclusion in the database, sequences must: (i) be deposited in Genbank; (ii) include some portion of the HIV env region; (iii) be clonal, amplified directly from tissue; and (iv) be sampled from the brain, or sampled from a patient for which the database already contains brain sequence. Sequences are annotated with clinical data including viral load, CD4 count, antiretroviral status, neurocognitive impairment, and neuropathological diagnosis, all curated from the original publication. Tissue source is coded using an anatomical ontology, the Foundational Model of Anatomy, to capture the maximum level of detail available, while maintaining ontological relationships between tissues and their subparts. 44 tissue types are represented within the database, grouped into 4 categories: (i) brain, brainstem, and spinal cord; (ii) meninges, choroid plexus, and CSF; (iii) blood and lymphoid; and (iv) other (bone marrow, colon, lung, liver, etc). Currently, the database contains 2517 envelope sequences from 90 patients, obtained from 22 published studies. 1272 sequences are from brain; the remaining 1245 are from blood, lymph node, spleen, bone marrow, colon, lung and other non-brain tissues. The database interface utilizes a faceted interface, allowing real-time combination of multiple search parameters to assemble a meta-dataset, which can be downloaded for further analysis. This online resource will greatly facilitate analysis of the genetic aspects of HIV macrophage tropism, HIV compartmentalization and evolution within the brain and other tissue reservoirs, and the relationship of these findings to HIV-associated neurological disorders and other clinical consequences of HIV infection.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. During the embryogenesis of human embryo, the development of each organ may be impaired during specific time periods. As illustrated, such impairment leads to congenital anomalies. After such critical periods, the environmental factors cause either minor congenital anomalies or lead to functional abnormalities. True beginning of gestation starts with the fertilization of the ovum which normally occurs one to several days after ovulation. By convention, however, due the fact that the day of the last menstrual period is easily defined, gestation starts on such day. During the first two weeks of pregnancy the embryo does not exist and endometrium is undergoing its normal menstrual and then proliferative phases. Stage one of the development starts with the fertilization of the ovum and stage 2 is initiated by the cleavage of the fertilized ovum. It is during the 4th and 5th stages of development that blastocyst starts its implantation process. By the end of the second week after fertilization, the stage 6 is initiated. During this stage, the primary chorionic villi and embryonic disc are formed.

http://gostat.wehi.edu.au

GOstat is a tool that allows you to find statistically overrepresented Gene Ontologies within a group of genes. The Gene-Ontology database (GO: http://www.geneontology.org) provides a useful tool to annotate and analyze the function of large numbers of genes. Modern experimental techniques, as e.g. DNA microarrays, often result in long lists of genes. To learn about the biology in this kind of data it is desirable to find functional annotation or Gene-Ontology groups which are highly represented in the data. This program (GOstat) should help in the analysis of such lists and will provide statistics about the GO terms contained in the data and sort the GO annotations giving the most representative GO terms first. Run GOstat: * Go to search form - Computes GO statistics of a list of genes selected from a microarray. * GOstat Display - You can store results from a previously run and view them here, either by uploading them as a file or putting them on a selected URL. * Upload Custom GO Annotations - This allows you to upload your own GO annotation database and use it with GOstat. Variants of GOstat: * Rank GOstat - Takes input from all genes on microarray instead of using a fixed cutoff and uses ranks using a Wilcoxon test or either ranks or pvalues to score GOs using Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics. * Gene Abundance GOstats - Takes input from all genes on microarray and sums up the gene abundances for each GO to compute statistics. * Two list GOstat - Compares GO statistics in two independent lists of genes, not necessarily one of them being the complete list the other list is sampled from. Platform: Online tool, THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.compneuro.org/CDROM/catacomb/index.html

Catacomb consists of a set of frameworks for various types of models in neuroscience, user interfaces to facilitate building models within these frameworks, and numerical algorithms to compute their behavior. The available frameworks include reaction kinetics, reaction diffusion systems, kinetic scheme models of ion channels, small neuron models and integrate and fire networks. It is a library of models (data structures and algorithms) covering a range of problems in neuroscience together with a versatile graphical user interface for constructing and running specific instances of the models. Some features of Catacomb include: * Class models. There is a growing set of classes containing data structures and calculation methods for various problem domains in neuroscience - reaction schemes, stochastic channel models, integrate-and-fire networks, cell geometry et al. * Dynamic interface builder. Using Java''s reflection capabilities, individual user interfaces are constructed for each class model allowing new instances to be created and displaying the results of any calculation methods they may contain. * Parameter watching. Using Java threads, the calculations are rerun and results displayed whenever parameters upon which they depend are changed. * Session recording. Operations can be recorded and played back for illustrating how to use Catacomb or for preconfigured demonstrations of model behavior. * Compatible with JPython. Catacomb does not include its own interpreter except in the minimal sense required to parse its own saved files. But its objects and methods are accessible to JPython which can be used for command line access or scripting. * Applet building. The contents of windows in the display can be extracted and packaged together in a single panel for loading as an applet. The model is saved as a java source file which, once compiled, can be packaged with the original Catacomb archive for loading from a Web page. See the AppletConfigEditor.
