This database presents the entire DNA sequence of the first diploid genome sequence of a Han Chinese, a representative of Asian population. The genome, named as YH, represents the start of YanHuang Project, which aims to sequence 100 Chinese individuals in 3 years. It was assembled based on 3.3 billion reads (117.7Gbp raw data) generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer. In total of 102.9Gbp nucleotides were mapped onto the NCBI human reference genome (Build 36) by self-developed software SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Alignment Program), and 3.07 million SNPs were identified. The personal genome data is illustrated in a MapView, which is powered by GBrowse. A new module was developed to browse large-scale short reads alignment. This module enabled users track detailed divergences between consensus and sequencing reads. In total of 53,643 HGMD recorders were used to screen YH SNPs to retrieve phenotype related information, to superficially explain the donor's genome. Blast service to align query sequences against YH genome consensus was also provided.

The Kabat Database determines the combining site of antibodies based on the available amino acid sequences. The precise delineation of complementarity determining regions (CDR) of both light and heavy chains provides the first example of how properly aligned sequences can be used to derive structural and functional information of biological macromolecules. The Kabat database now includes nucleotide sequences, sequences of T cell receptors for antigens (TCR), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II molecules, and other proteins of immunological interest. The Kabat Database searching and analysis tools package is an ASP.NET web-based portal containing lookup tools, sequence matching tools, alignment tools, length distribution tools, positional correlation tools and much more. The searching and analysis tools are custom made for the aligned data sets contained in both the SQL Server and ASCII text flat file formats. The searching and analysis tools may be run on a single PC workstation or in a distributed environment. The analysis tools are written in ASP.NET and C# and are available in Visual Studio .NET 2003/2005/2008 formats. The Kabat Database was initially started in 1970 to determine the combining site of antibodies based on the available amino acid sequences at that time. Bence Jones proteins, mostly from human, were aligned, using the now-known Kabat numbering system, and a quantitative measure, variability, was calculated for every position. Three peaks, at positions 24-34, 50-56 and 89-97, were identified and proposed to form the complementarity determining regions (CDR) of light chains. Subsequently, antibody heavy chain amino acid sequences were also aligned using a different numbering system, since the locations of their CDRs (31-35B, 50-65 and 95-102) are different from those of the light chains. CDRL1 starts right after the first invariant Cys 23 of light chains, while CDRH1 is eight amino acid residues away from the first invariant Cys 22 of heavy chains. During the past 30 years, the Kabat database has grown to include nucleotide sequences, sequences of T cell receptors for antigens (TCR), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II molecules and other proteins of immunological interest. It has been used extensively by immunologists to derive useful structural and functional information from the primary sequences of these proteins.

http://bioapps.rit.albany.edu/MITOPRED/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. It predicts nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins from all eukaryotic species including plants. Prediction is based on the occurrence patterns of Pfam domains (version 16.0) in different cellular locations, amino acid composition and pI value differences between mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial locations. Additionally, you may download MITOPRED predictions for complete proteomes. Re-calculated predictions are instantly accessible for proteomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Arabidopsis species as well as all the eukaryotic sequences in the Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL databases. Queries, at different confidence levels, can be made through four distinct options: (i) entering Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession numbers; (ii) uploading a local file with such accession numbers; (iii) entering protein sequences; (iv) uploading a local file containing protein sequences in FASTA format. The Mitopred algorithm works based on the differences in the Pfam domain occurrence patters and amino acid composition differences in different cellular compartments. Location specific Pfam domains have been determined from the entire eukaryotic set of Swissprot database. Similarly, differences in the amino acid composition between mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial sequences were pre-calculated. This information is used to calculate location-specific amino acid weights that are used to calculate amino acid score. Similarly, pI average values of the N-terminal 25 residues in different cellular location were also determined. This knowledge-base is accessed by the program during execution.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on August 19,2019.BOND, which requires registration of a free account, is a resource used to perform cross-database searches of available sequence, interaction, complex and pathway information. BOND integrates a range of component databases including GenBank and BIND, the Biomolecular Interaction Network Database. BOND contains 70+ million biological sequences, 33,000 structures, 38,000 GO terms, and over 200,000 human curated interactions contained in BIND, and is open access. BOND serves the interests of the developing global interactome effort encompassing the genomic, proteomic and metabolomic research communities. BOND is the first open access search resource to integrate sequence and interaction information. BOND integrates BLAST functionality, and contains a well-documented API. BOND also stores annotation links for sequences, including links to Genome Ontology descriptions, MedLine abstracts, taxon identifiers, associated structures, redundant sequences, sequence neighbors, conserved domains, data base cross-references, Online Mendalian Inheritance in Man identifiers, LocusLink identifiers and complete genomes. BIND on BOND The Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (BIND), a component database of BOND, is a collection of records documenting molecular interactions. The contents of BIND include high-throughput data submissions and hand-curated information gathered from the scientific literature. BIND is an interaction database with three classifications for molecular associations: molecules that associate with each other to form interactions, molecular complexes that are formed from one or more interaction(s) and pathways that are defined by a specific sequence of two or more interactions.Interactions A BIND record represents an interaction between two or more objects that is believed to occur in a living organism. A biological object can be a protein, DNA, RNA, ligand, molecular complex, gene, photon or an unclassified biological entity. BIND records are created for interactions which have been shown experimentally and published in at least one peer-reviewed journal. A record also references any papers with experimental evidence that support or dispute the associated interaction. Interactions are the basic units of BIND and can be linked together to form molecular complexes or pathways. The BIND interaction viewer is a tool to visualize and analyze molecular interactions, complexes and pathways. The BIND interaction viewer uses Ontoglyphs to display information about a protein via attributes such as molecular function, biological process and sub-cellular localization. Ontoglyphs allow to graphically and interactively explore interaction networks, by visualizing interactions in the context of 34 functional, 25 binding specificity and 24 sub-cellular localization Ontoglyphs categories. We will continue to provide an open access version of BOND, providing its subscribers with free, unlimited access to a core content set. But we are confident you will soon want to upgrade to BONDplus.

The MIPS Ustilago maydis Genome Database aims to present information on the molecular structure and functional network of the entirely sequenced, filamentous fungus Ustilago maydis. The underlying sequence is the initial release of the high quality draft sequence of the Broad Institute. The goal of the MIPS database is to provide a comprehensive genome database in the Genome Research Environment in parallel with other fungal genomes to enable in depth fungal comparative analysis. The specific aims are to: 1. Generate and assemble Whole Genome Shotgun sequence reads yielding 10X coverage of the U. maydis genome 2. Integrate the genomic sequence assembly with physical maps generated by Bayer CropScience 3. Perform automated annotation of the sequence assembly 4. Align the strain 521 assembly with the FB1 assembly provided by Exelixis 5. Release the sequence assembly and results of our annotation and analysis to public Ustilago maydis is a basidiomycete fungal pathogen of maize and teosinte. The genome size is approximately 20 Mb. The fungus induces tumors on host plants and forms masses of diploid teliospores. These spores germinate and form haploid meiotic products that can be propagated in culture as yeast-like cells. Haploid strains of opposite mating type fuse and form a filamentous, dikaryotic cell type that invades plant tissue to reinitiate infection. Ustilago maydis is an important model system for studying pathogen-host interactions and has been studied for more than 100 years by plant pathologists. Molecular genetic research with U. maydis focuses on recombination, the role of mating in pathogenesis, and signaling pathways that influence virulence. Recently, the fungus has emerged as an excellent experimental model for the molecular genetic analysis of phytopathogenesis, particularly in the characterization of infection-specific morphogenesis in response to signals from host plants. Ustilago maydis also serves as an important model for other basidiomycete plant pathogens that are more difficult to work with in the laboratory, such as the rust and bunt fungi. Genomic sequence of U. maydis will also be valuable for comparative analysis of other fungal genomes, especially with respect to understanding the host range of fungal phytopathogens. The analysis of U. maydis would provide a framework for studying the hundreds of other Ustilago species that attack important crops, such as barley, wheat, sorghum, and sugarcane. Comparisons would also be possible with other basidiomycete fungi, such as the important human pathogen C. neoformans. Commercially, U. maydis is an excellent model for the discovery of antifungal drugs. In addition, maize tumors caused by U. maydis are prized in Hispanic cuisine and there is interest in improving commercial production. The complete putative gene set of the Broad Institute''s second release is loaded into the database and in addition all deviating putative genes from a putative gene set produced by MIPS with different gene prediction parameters are also loaded. The complete dataset will then be analysed, gene predictions will be manually corrected due to combined information derived from different gene prediction algorithms and, more important, protein and EST comparisons. Gene prediction will be restricted to ORFs larger than 50 codons; smaller ORFs will be included only if similarities to other proteins or EST matches confirm their existence or if a coding region was postulated by all prediction programs used. The resulting proteins will be annotated. They will be classified according to the MIPS classification catalogue receiving appropriate descriptions. All proteins with a known, characterized homolog will be automatically assigned to functional categories using the MIPS functional catalog. All extracted proteins are in addition automatically analysed and annotated by the PEDANT suite.

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints after head injury, and accordingly, individuals may attempt to feign memory impairment or exaggerate symptoms of memory impairment. This free neuropsychological evaluation software contains some of the most common tests used to detect malingering of memory impairment. This software package contains a number of tests of declarative memory that assess recall of information that has a personal and temporal context. The typical example of declarative tests used for detecting malingering are the auditory verbal learning test and forced choice test. These tests are included in Symptom Validity along with other tests of declarative memory (e.g., prose recall, questionnaire tests). Unfortunately, classification of individuals is not completely accurate even with the use of multiple declarative memory tests. Thus, other tests that can complement previously used declarative memory measures by enhancing classification accuracy may be of great value to the neuropsychologist assessing the possibility of malingering. Your software contains two tests of nondeclarative memory that have been previously shown to be useful in the detection of malingered memory deficits (Davis et al., 1997a, 1997b). These tests take advantage of the general laypersons misunderstanding of the test performance of a truly memory impaired individual. That is, amnesic patients have been shown to perform normally on these nondeclarative memory tests and this is counterintuitive to the memory performance expectations of the general layperson. The nondeclarative tests included in Symptom Validity are two repetition priming tests of word stem completion and two tests of pattern categorization learning. Note: At this time this program will run only on Windows 98. We are currently working on a version that will run under the newer operating systems.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The modifiable n-Back test is free software presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. The task requires the participant to monitor some dimension (e.g. content, position, numerosity) of a temporally present sequence of items, responding when the currently presented item matches on the relevant dimension an item that was just recently presented. The match can be with an item present either 1 back, 2 back, 3 back or n back. Considerable flexibility is provided to the experimenter in specifying various parameters of the experiment (e.g. presentation rate, n back, content, position, color). The n-Back test is presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. (Shimamura, 2000) Watter, Geffen and Geffen (2001) based on their work with the P300 event-related-potential have suggested that the n-Back is a dual task in that latencies of the P300 did not change with increasing task difficulty, that is memory load while amplitude did reflecting in their view a reallocation of attention and processing capacity away from the matching subtask. The n-Back task is one in which the participant is presented a series of stimuli at a constant rate. The task of the participant is to determine if the currently presented stimulus is similar (along some dimension) to one they have recently (usually one, two or three positions back) seen in the stream. Match criteria can be dimensions like material, position on the screen, color or some combination. CATs n-Back allows for substantial control over the position in which the material is presented (nine different positions), the nature of the material (any character or dingbat string, and any color. The experimenter can set the speed at which the sequence is presented including both the stimulus on time and the inter-stimulus interval. Participant responses can be made either using the keyboard or the mouse. At this time no normative data is available for this test.
