THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. The NIEHS Genetic Alterations in Cancer (GAC) knowledgebase is a comprehensive collection of data compiled from studies reported in the published literature on genetic alterations in tumors associated with exposure to specific chemical, physical, or biological agents that can be linked to genes implicated in the development of cancers. GAC provides access to data from peer reviewed journals for hundreds of studies of gene mutations, loss of heterozygosity, and/or chromosome changes in tumors from humans, mice, or rats. Results are summarized in tables and graphic profiles that show the incidence (percent) of tumors with alterations in each gene that has been studied. Detailed data tables display results for each subject studied in the cited reference and the reference ID is hyperlinked to its PubMed abstract for more information. A mutation spectrum for individual genes and links to gene information from The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project and the Rat Genome Database are also provided.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/froi_atlas/

An effort to provide a set of quasi-probabilistic atlases for established functional ROIs in the human neuroimaging literature. Many atlases exist for various anatomical parcellation schemes, such as the Brodmann areas, the structural atlases, tissue segmentation atlases, etc. To date, however, there is no atlas for so-called functional ROIs. Such fROIs are typically associated with an anatomical label of some kind (e.g. the _fusiform_ face area), but these labels are only approximate and can be misleading inasmuch as fROIs are not constrained by anatomical landmarks, whether cytoarchitectonic or based on sulcal and gyral landmarks. The goal of this project is to provide quasi-probabilistic atlases for fROIs that are based on published coordinates in the neuroimaging literature. This is an open-ended enterprise and the atlas can grow as needed. Members of the neuroscience and neuroimaging community interested in contributing to the project are encouraged to do so.

A data set of cross-nationally comparable microdata samples for 15 Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) countries (Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, USA) based on the 1990 national population and housing censuses in countries of Europe and North America to study the social and economic conditions of older persons. These samples have been designed to allow research on a wide range of issues related to aging, as well as on other social phenomena. A common set of nomenclatures and classifications, derived on the basis of a study of census data comparability in Europe and North America, was adopted as a standard for recoding. This series was formerly called Dynamics of Population Aging in ECE Countries. The recommendations regarding the design and size of the samples drawn from the 1990 round of censuses envisaged: (1) drawing individual-based samples of about one million persons; (2) progressive oversampling with age in order to ensure sufficient representation of various categories of older people; and (3) retaining information on all persons co-residing in the sampled individual''''s dwelling unit. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania provided the entire population over age 50, while Finland sampled it with progressive over-sampling. Canada, Italy, Russia, Turkey, UK, and the US provided samples that had not been drawn specially for this project, and cover the entire population without over-sampling. Given its wide user base, the US 1990 PUMS was not recoded. Instead, PAU offers mapping modules, which recode the PUMS variables into the project''''s classifications, nomenclatures, and coding schemes. Because of the high sampling density, these data cover various small groups of older people; contain as much geographic detail as possible under each country''''s confidentiality requirements; include more extensive information on housing conditions than many other data sources; and provide information for a number of countries whose data were not accessible until recently. Data Availability: Eight of the fifteen participating countries have signed the standard data release agreement making their data available through NACDA/ICPSR (see links below). Hungary and Switzerland require a clearance to be obtained from their national statistical offices for the use of microdata, however the documents signed between the PAU and these countries include clauses stipulating that, in general, all scholars interested in social research will be granted access. Russia requested that certain provisions for archiving the microdata samples be removed from its data release arrangement. The PAU has an agreement with several British scholars to facilitate access to the 1991 UK data through collaborative arrangements. Statistics Canada and the Italian Institute of statistics (ISTAT) provide access to data from Canada and Italy, respectively. * Dates of Study: 1989-1992 * Study Features: International, Minority Oversamples * Sample Size: Approx. 1 million/country Links: * Bulgaria (1992), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02200 * Czech Republic (1991), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06857 * Estonia (1989), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06780 * Finland (1990), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06797 * Romania (1992), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06900 * Latvia (1989), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02572 * Lithuania (1989), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/03952 * Turkey (1990), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/03292 * U.S. (1990), http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06219

Software application that refines linkage analysis of affected sibpairs by considering attributes or environmental exposures thought to affect disease liability. This refinement utilizes a mixture model in which a disease mutation segregates in only a fraction of the sibships, with the rest of the sibships unlinked. Covariate information is used to predict membership within the two groups corresponding to the linked and unlinked sibships. The pre-clustering model uses covariate information to first form two probabilistic clusters and then tests for excess IBD-sharing in the clusters. The Cov-IBD model determines probabilistic group membership by joint consideration of covariate and IBD values. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

This atlas takes advantage of ultra-high resolution 7T MRI to provide unprecedented levels of detail on structures of the basal ganglia in-vivo. The atlas includes probability maps of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STh) using T2*-imaging. For now it has been created on 13 young healthy participants with a mean age of 24.38 (range: 22-28, SD: 2.36). We recently also created atlas STh probability maps from 8 middle-aged participants with a mean age of 50.67 (range: 40-59, SD: 6.63), and 9 elderly participants with a mean age of 72.33 (range: 67-77, SD: 2.87). You can find more details about the creation of these maps in the following papers: Young: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22227131 Middle-aged & Elderly: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23486960 Participating institutions are the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany, and the Cognitive Science Center Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Science in the Open: This blog contains the thoughts of Cameron Neylon on the technical and social issues involved with ''Open Research''. Most people would agree Open Research includes freely accessible literature or perhaps making raw data available. Others might think it also involves people working on collaborative documents such as Wikis or the freedom to re-use the published literature or data. At its logical extreme Open Research includes making all the details of what we do freely available as it happens. Many people find this scarey. Some, perhaps a growing number, find it tremendously exciting.

An online database mainly about the order Hymenoptera. It contains some 115,000 species and literally millions of specimens in collections around the world. Some parts of this database have extensive information available (e.g., Proctotrupoidea, Platygastroidea, Ceraphronoidea, Apoidea), even to the level of specimens (see Platygastridae, Pelecinidae, Monomachidae, Stephanidae). These data have been gathered with the collaboration of a number of colleagues. Other taxa still need work. Hymenoptera Online (HOL) is no longer solely dedicated to Hymenoptera as recent acquisitions have expanded the taxonomic scope of this resource to include Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Mites, Fishes, and others with the help of a number of tireless collaborators. If you would like to contribute to the further development and enhancement of this resource or need technical assistance related to Hymenoptera Online services, please contact HOL Help, Norman F. Johnson, or the HOL Google+ Page. Search for taxa, collections, authors, collectors and specimens by typing your simple query in the text box below. Taxon name searches are case-sensitive and a wildcard (%) will automatically be appended to the end of your query (e.g. Telenomus); the same applies to collectors and authors (e.g. Johnson), collections (e.g. CNC), places (e.g. Bahia), journals (e.g. Memoirs), and specimen searches by specimen ID (e.g. ANIC DB 32).
