Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.

http://genewindow.nci.nih.gov/

Software tool for pre- and post-genetic bioinformatics and analytical work, developed and used at the Core Genotyping Facility (CGF) at the National Cancer Institute. While Genewindow is implemented for the human genome and integrated with the CGF laboratory data, it stands as a useful tool to assist investigators in the selection of variants for study in vitro, or in novel genetic association studies. The Genewindow application and source code is publicly available for use in other genomes, and can be integrated with the analysis, storage, and archiving of data generated in any laboratory setting. This can assist laboratories in the choice and tracking of information related to genetic annotations, including variations and genomic positions. Features of GeneWindow include: -Intuitive representation of genomic variation using advanced web-based graphics (SVG) -Search by HUGO gene symbol, dbSNP ID, internal CGF polymorphism ID, or chromosome coordinates -Gene-centric display (only when a gene of interest is in view) oriented 5 to 3 regardless of the reference strand and adjacent genes -Two views, a Locus Overview, which varies in size depending on the gene or genomic region being viewed and, below it, a Sequence View displaying 2000 base pairs within the overview -Navigate the genome by clicking along the gene in the Locus Overview to change the Sequence View, expand or contract the genomic interval, or shift the view in the 5 or 3 direction (relative to the current gene) -Lists of available genomic features -Search for sequence matches in the Locus Overview -Genomic features are represented by shape, color and opacity with contextual information visible when the user moves over or clicks on a feature -Administrators can insert newly-discovered polymorphisms into the Genewindow database by entering annotations directly through the GUI -Integration with a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or other databases is possible

http://www.oege.org/software/hwe-mr-calc.shtml

This portal leads to the Chi-sq Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test calculator for biallelic markers (SNPs, indels etc), including analysis for ascertainment bias for dominant/recessive models (due to biological or technical causes.) The purpose of this web program is for estimating possible missingness and an approach to evaluating missingness under different genetic models. Mendelian randomization (MR) permits causal inference between exposures and a disease. It can be compared with randomized controlled trials. Whereas in a randomized controlled trial the randomization occurs at entry into the trial, in MR the randomization occurs during gamete formation and conception. Several factors, including time since conception and sampling variation, are relevant to the interpretation of an MR test. Particularly important is consideration of the missingness of genotypes that can be originated by chance, genotyping errors, or clinical ascertainment. Testing for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is a genetic approach that permits evaluation of missingness. Through this tool, the authors demonstrate evidence of nonconformity with HWE in real data. They also perform simulations to characterize the sensitivity of HWE tests to missingness. Unresolved missingness could lead to a false rejection of causality in an MR investigation of trait-disease association. These results indicate that large-scale studies, very high quality genotyping data, and detailed knowledge of the life-course genetics of the alleles/genotypes studied will largely mitigate this risk.

http://grey.colorado.edu/emergent

emergent is a comprehensive, full-featured neural network simulator that allows for the creation and analysis of complex, sophisticated models of the brain in the world. With an emphasis on qualitative analysis and teaching, it also supports the workflow of professional neural network researchers. Its high level drag-and-drop programming interface, built on top of a scripting language that has full introspective access to all aspects of networks and the software itself, allows one to write programs that seamlessly weave together the training of a network and evolution of its environment without ever typing out a line of code. Networks and all of their state variables are visually inspected in 3d, allowing for a quick visual regression of network dynamics and robot behavior. This same 3d world sports a highly accurate Newtonian physics simulation, allowing you to create rich robotics simulations (for example, a car). As a direct descendant of PDP (1986) and PDP (1999), emergent has been in development for decades. In the most recent versions available strive to distill it down to its essential elements. Those that take the time to learn the best practices will be rewarded with the ability to create and understand the most complicated neural models ever published.
