A computer-aided tool for 2-D brain image segmentation using an electrostatic charged fluid model. It allows researchers to perform 2-D image segmentation in brain MR image data. Each interactive visualization element corresponding to the embedded function enables the end user to easily manipulate the image data. The visual environment of this tool provides an easy-to-use means of inspection and interpretation of image data using the LONI jViewbox library. CFMBIS uses the Java Image I/O plug-in architecture to read a wide variety of common medical image file formats.

Probabilistic atlases covering 48 cortical and 21 subcortical structural areas, derived from structural data and segmentations kindly provided by the Harvard Center for Morphometric Analysis. T1-weighted images of 21 healthy male and 16 healthy female subjects (ages 18-50) were individually segmented by the CMA using semi-automated tools developed in-house. The T1-weighted images were affine-registered to MNI152 space using FLIRT (FSL), and the transforms then applied to the individual labels. Finally, these were combined across subjects to form population probability maps for each label. Segmentations used to create these atlases were provided by: David Kennedy and Christian Haselgrove, Centre for Morphometric Analysis, Harvard; Bruce Fischl, the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, MGH; Janis Breeze and Jean Frazier from the Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatric Research Program, Cambridge Health Alliance; Larry Seidman and Jill Goldstein from the Department of Psychiatry of Harvard Medical School.

Atlas containing 2- and 3-dimensional, anatomical reference slides of the lifespan of the zebrafish to support research and education worldwide. Hematoxylin and eosin histological slides, at various points in the lifespan of the zebrafish, have been scanned at 40x resolution and are available through a virtual slide viewer. 3D models of the organs are reconstructed from plastic tissue sections of embryo and larvae. The size of the zebrafish, which allows sections to fall conveniently within the dimensions of the common 1 x 3 glass slide, makes it possible for this anatomical atlas to become as high resolution as for any vertebrate. That resolution, together with the integration of histology and organ anatomy, will create unique opportunities for comparisons with both smaller and larger model systems that each have their own strengths in research and educational value. The atlas team is working to allow the site to function as a scaffold for collaborative research and educational activity across disciplines and model organisms. The Zebrafish Atlas was created to answer a community call for a comprehensive, web-based, anatomical and pathological atlas of the zebrafish, which has become one of the most widely used vertebrate animal models globally. The experimental strengths of zebrafish as a model system have made it useful for a wide range of investigations addressing the missions of the NIH and NSF. The Zebrafish Atlas provides reference slides for virtual microscopic viewing of the zebrafish using an Internet browser. Virtual slide technology allows the user to choose their own field of view and magnification, and to consult labeled histological sections of zebrafish. We are planning to include a complete set of embryos, larvae, juveniles, and adults from approximately 25 different ages. Future work will also include a variety of comparisons (e.g. normal vs. mutant, normal vs. diseased, multiple stages of development, zebrafish with other organisms, and different types of cancer)., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

http://www.autopack.org/

An open-source general packing algorithm that packs 3D objects onto surfaces, into volumes, and around volumes. It provides a general architecture to allow various packing algorithms to interoperate efficiently in the same model. autoPack can incorporate any packing solution into its modular python program architecture, but is currently optimized to provide a novel solution to the loose packing problem which places objects of discrete size into place (compared to advancing front, popcorn, or other fast tight-packing solutions that allow objects to scale to arbitrary masses.) Most popular 3D software programs now contain robust physics engines based on Bullet that can separate small collections of overlapping objects or allow volumes to be filled by pouring shapes from generators, but these approaches fails for large complex systems and result in either overlapping geometry, crashed software, or non-random gradients. Most packing algorithms are designed to position objects as efficiently as possible, but autoPack allows the user to select from random loose packing to highly organized packing methods����??even to choose both methods at the same time. autoPack positions 3D geometries into, onto, and around volumes with minimal to zero overlap. autoPack mixes several packing approaches and procedural growth algorithms. autoPack can thus place objects with forces and constraints to allow a high degree of control ranging from completely random distributions to highly ordered structures. * zero to minimal overlaps depending on the method used * accuracy vs speed parameters selected by the user * zero edge effects * complete control, from fully random to fully ordered distributions * agent-based interaction, weighting, and collision control

http://www.imagevis3d.org/

A new volume rendering program developed by the NIH/NCRR Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing (CIBC). The main design goals of ImageVis3D are: simplicity, scalability, and interactivity. Simplicity is achieved with a new user interface that gives an unprecedented level of flexibility (as shown in the images). Scalability and interactivity for ImageVis3D mean that both on a notebook computer as well as on a high end graphics workstation, the user can interactively explore terabyte sized data sets. Finally, the open source nature as well as the strict component-by-component design allow developers not only to extend ImageVis3D itself but also reuse parts of it, such as the rendering core. This rendering core, for instance, is planned to replace the volume rendering subsystems in many applications at the SCI Institute and with their collaborators.

Interactive software of a set of modular programs (each performing a specific task) that provide an integrated computing environment for data analysis and system modeling. Unique capabilities of LYSIS include input-output nonlinear system modeling and the novel methodology of Principal Dynamic Modes (PDMs). LYSIS is currently available in two versions: one for LYSIS 7.1 Windows and one for LYSIS 7.2 Matlab. Early versions are also available for UNIX environments, distributed as source code that can be compiled for each UNIX implementation (e.g., Solaris, HPUX, Linux). Specific features of LYSIS that cannot be found in commercially available packages include the efficient kernel estimation using Laguerre expansions and the use of Principal Dynamic Modes (PDMs). These enable input-output modeling of dynamic nonlinear systems with relatively short data-records (even in the presence of considerable noise).

http://beetlebase.org/

A centralized sequence database and community resource for Tribolium genetics, genomics and developmental biology containing genomic sequence scaffolds mapped to 10 linkage groups, genetic linkage maps, the official gene set, Reference Sequences from NCBI (RefSeq), predicted gene models, ESTs and whole-genome tiling array data representing several developmental stages. The current version of Beetlebase is built on the Tribolium castaneum 3.0 Assembly (Tcas 3.0) released by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at the Baylor College of Medicine. The database is constructed using the upgraded Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) modules. The genomic data is stored in a PostgreSQL relational database using the Chado schema and visualized as tracks in GBrowse. The genetic map is visualized using the comparative genetic map viewer CMAP. To enhance search capabilities, the BLAST search tool has been integrated with the GMOD tools. Tribolium castaneum is a very sophisticated genetic model organism among higher eukaryotes. As the member of a primitive order of holometabolous insects, Coleoptera, Tribolium is in a key phylogenetic position to understand the genetic innovations that accompanied the evolution of higher forms with more complex development. Coleoptera is also the largest and most species diverse of all eukaryotic orders and Tribolium offers the only genetic model for the profusion of medically and economically important species therein. The genome sequences may be downloaded.
