Database containing the DNA sequence and annotation of the entire human chromosome 7, encompassing nearly 158 million nucleotides of DNA and 1917 gene structures, are presented; the most up to date collation of sequence, gene, and other annotations from all databases (eg. Celera published, NCBI, Ensembl, RIKEN, UCSC) as well as unpublished data. To generate a higher order description, additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease. The objective of this project is to generate a comprehensive description of human chromosome 7 to facilitate biological discovery, disease gene research and medical genetic applications. There are over 360 disease-associated genes or loci on chromosome 7. A major challenge ahead will be to represent chromosome alterations, variants, and polymorphisms and their related phenotypes (or lack thereof), in an accessible way. In addition to being a primary data source, this site serves as a weighing station for testing community ideas and information to produce highly curated data to be submitted to other databases such as NCBI, Ensembl, and UCSC. Therefore, any useful data submitted will be curated and shown in this database. All Chromosome 7 genomic clones (cosmids, BACs, YACs) listed in GBrowser and in other data tables are freely distributed.

Catalog of internet resources relating to biological model organisms, and is part of the Biosciences area of the Virtual Library project. The main Model Organisms Library discussed in this website are: * E. coli (bacterium) * Yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and other species) * Dictyostelium discoideum (slime mold) * Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) * Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) Many aspects of biology are similar in most or all organisms, but it is frequently much easier to study particular aspects in particular organisms - for instance, genetics is easier in small organisms that breed quickly, and very difficult in humans! The most popular model organisms have strong advantages for experimental research, and become even more useful when other scientists have already worked on them, discovering techniques, genes and other useful information.

http://smallrna.udel.edu/index.php

This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction.

http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/myrna/index.shtml

A cloud computing tool for calculating differential gene expression in large RNA-seq datasets. It uses Bowtie for short read alignment and R/Bioconductor for interval calculations, normalization, and statistical testing. These tools are combined in an automatic, parallel pipeline that runs in the cloud (Elastic MapReduce in this case) on a local Hadoop cluster, or on a single computer, exploiting multiple computers and CPUs wherever possible.

http://www.genes2cognition.org/

A neuroscience research program that studies genes, the brain and behavior in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. Central to G2C investigations is the NMDA receptor complex (NRC/MASC), that is found at the synapses in the central nervous system which constitute the functional connections between neurons. Changes in the receptor and associated components are thought to be in a large part responsible for the phenomenon of synaptic plasticity, that may underlie learning and memory. G2C is addressing the function of synapse proteins using large scale approaches combining genomics, proteomics and genetic methods with electrophysiological and behavioral studies. This is incorporated with computational models of the organization of molecular networks at the synapse. These combined approaches provide a powerful and unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of disease genes in behavior and brain pathology as well as provide fundamental insights into the complexity of the human brain. Additionally, Genes to Cognition makes available its biological resources, including gene-targeting vectors, ES cell lines, antibodies, and transgenic mice, generated for its phenotyping pipeline. The resources are freely-available to interested researchers.

Composed of many projects, including the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS) and The Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study (SIBS), this research center seeks to identify genetic and environmental influences on development and psychological traits. Both projects are longitudinal research studies including twins, siblings, and parents. Over 9800 individuals have contributed to these exciting projects! By studying twins and siblings and their families, we can estimate how genes and environment interact to influence character, strengths, vulnerabilities and values. Participants in the MTFS include families with same-sex identical or fraternal twins who were born in Minnesota. The SIBS study is comprised of adoptive and biological siblings and their parents. Most participants partake in day-long visits to the MCTFR, and due to the longitudinal nature of our projects, they return every 3-4 years for follow-up visits.

Ikaros is an open infrastructure for system level modeling of the brain including databases of experimental data, computational models and functional brain data. The system makes heavy use of the emerging standards for Internet based information and makes all information accessible through an open web-based interface. In addition, Ikaros can be used as a control architecture for robots which in the extension will lead to the development of a brain inspired robot architecture. The main components of the Ikaros systems are: a platform independent simulation kernel; a set of computational brain models; a set of I/O modules for interfacing with data files and peripheral such as robots or video cameras; tools for building systems of interconnected models; a plug-in architecture that allows new models to be easily added to the system; and a database with data from learning experiments that can be used for validation of the computational models.
