PathwayMatcher (RRID:SCR_016759) is a software tool for multi omics pathway mapping and proteoform network generation, and is an open source software writen in Java to search for pathways related to a list of proteins in Reactome.
mirDIP(RRID:SCR_016770) is a microRNA data integration portal to find microRNAs that target a gene, or genes targeted by a microRNA, in Homo sapiens, and it's a software to integrate prediction databases to elucidate accurate microRNA:target relationships for human microRNA prediction studies.
Phaff Yeast Culture Collection (RRID:SCR_016781) is a collection of wild yeast in the world. Academic and industrial resarchers utilize this collection for a variety of research and applications, including pigments, enzymes, food ingredients, and hosts for protein expression. It provides contract screening and strain selection services.

Feedback Submission Deadline: Strategic Plan for NIH Nutrition Research
The NIH Nutrition Research Task Force (NRTF) is currently developing the Strategic Plan for NIH Nutrition Research. The plan emphasizes cross-cutting, innovative opportunities to advance nutrition research across a wide range of areas, from basic science to experimental design to training. These opportunities complement and enhance ongoing research efforts across NIH to improve health and to prevent or combat diseases and conditions affected by nutrition. The NRTF invites you to review the draft plan.
