Scientists throughout the world depend on the Rocky Mountain MS Center Tissue Bank to supply high quality human brain tissue and cerebral spinal fluid to support their research. Funded in part by the National MS Society, the Tissue Bank is one of only four MS-related tissue banks in the nation. The Tissue Bank has distributed specimens to more than 160 investigators worldwide and over 1,600 people have consented to be donors after death. Tissue banks provide a unique bridge between those who live with MS and the scientific community. Studies conducted with samples from the Center have led to several important discoveries and 130 publications. While deeply personal, the decision to donate has far-reaching effects as scientists unlock the mysteries of multiple sclerosis. If you would like to donate, arrangements must be made in advance because it is important that tissue is taken within a few hours of death. For more information on making a donation, visit the How To Donate section of this website and contact the Rocky Mountain MS Center Tissue Bank at 303.788.4030 x111.

The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia''s national weather, climate and water agency. Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing with the harsh realities of their natural environment, including drought, floods, fires, storms, tsunami and tropical cyclones. Through regular forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning the Australian region and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of the most fundamental and widely used services of government. The Bureau contributes to national social, economic, cultural and environmental goals by providing observational, meteorological, hydrological and oceanographic services and by undertaking research into science and environment related issues in support of its operations and services. The Bureau of Meteorology operates under the authority of the Meteorology Act 1955 and the Water Act 2007 which provide the legal basis for its activities, while its operation is continually assessed in accordance with the national need for climatic records, water information, scientific understanding of Australian weather and climate and effective service provision to the Australian community. The Bureau of Meteorology must also fulfill Australia''s international obligations under the Convention of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and related international meteorological treaties and agreements.

This portal takes you to the website of Professor Anne Chao of the National Tsing Hua University, China. She studies birds. The portal offers Software, course information, publications and teaching. There are about 458 bird species in Taiwan. We have observed 155 species in our neighboring Ker-Yar estuary. We would estimate the total number of species in this area to be 180 including those unobserved. The more we discover about birds, the more we realize how intimately and closely our lives are entwined with those of birds. When the habitats of birds are destroyed and birds become extinct, we human beings are losing the land....

Lab interested in understanding how neuronal circuitries of the brain support its cognitive capacities. Its goal is to provide rational, mechanistic explanations of cognitive functions at a descriptive level. In the lab''s view, the most promising area of cognitive faculties for scientific inquiry is memory, since it is a well-circumscribed term, can be studied in animals and substantial knowledge has accumulated on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Available software: * NeuroScope: NeuroScope can display local field potentials (EEG), neuronal spikes, behavioral events, as well as the position of the animal in the environment. It also features limited editing capabilities. * Klusters: Klusters is a powerful and easy-to-use cluster cutting application designed to help neurophysiologists sort action potentials from multiple neurons on groups of electrodes (e.g., tetrodes or multisite silicon probes). * KlustaKwik: KlustaKwik is a program for automatic cluster analysis, specifically designed to run fast on large data sets. * MATLAB m-files: A selection of MATLAB files developed in the lab., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 08, 2012. The function of the IMR is to select, import, cryopreserve, maintain, and distribute these important strains of mice to the research community. To improve their value for research, the IMR also undertakes genetic development of stocks, such as transferring mutant genes or transgenes to defined genetic backgrounds and combining transgenes and/or targeted mutations to create new mouse models for research. The function of the IMR is to: * select biomedically important stocks of transgenic, chemically induced, and targeted mutant mice * import these stocks into the Jackson Laboratory by rederivation procedures that rid them of any pathogens they might carry * cryopreserve embryos from these stocks to protect them against accidental loss and genetic contamination * backcross the mutation onto an inbred strain, if necessary * distribute them to the scientific community More than 1000 mutant stocks have been accepted by the IMR from 1992 through December 2006. Current holdings include models for research on cancer; breast cancer; immunological and inflammatory diseases; neurological diseases; behavioral, cardiovascular and heart diseases; developmental, metabolic and other diseases; reporter (e.g., GFP) and recombinase (e.g., cre/loxP) strains. About eight strains a month are being added to the IMR holdings. Research is being conducted on improved methods for assisted reproduction and speed congenic production. Most of the targeted mutants arrive on a mixed 129xC57BL/6 genetic background, and as many of these as possible are backcrossed onto an inbred strain (usually C57BL/6J). In addition, new mouse models are being created by intercrossing carriers of specific transgenes and/or targeted mutations. Simple sequence length polymorphism DNA markers are being used to characterize and evaluate differences between inbred strains, substrains, and embryonic stem cell lines.

The project began as a pilot study to identify inherited genetic susceptibility to prostate and breast cancer. CGEMS has developed into a robust research program involving genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for a number of cancers to identify common genetic variants that affect a person''s risk of developing cancer. In collaboration with extramural scientists, NCI''s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) has carried out genome-wide scans for breast, prostate, pancreatic, and lung cancers, while a GWAS of bladder cancer is currently underway. By making the data available to both intramural and extramural research scientists, as well as those in the private sector through rapid posting, NIH can leverage its resources to ensure that the dramatic advances in genomics are incorporated into rigorous population-based studies. Ultimately, findings from these studies may yield new preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions for cancer. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the U.S. National Institues Of Health.
