APID Interactomes (Agile Protein Interactomes DataServer) provides information on the protein interactomes of numerous organisms, based on the integration of known experimentally validated protein-protein physical interactions (PPIs). The interactome data includes a report on quality levels and coverage over the proteomes for each organism included. APID integrates PPIs from primary databases of molecular interactions (BIND, BioGRID, DIP, HPRD, IntAct, MINT) and also from experimentally resolved 3D structures (PDB) where more than two distinct proteins have been identified. This collection references protein interactors, through a UniProt identifier.

LegumeIP is an integrative database and bioinformatics platform for comparative genomics and transcriptomics to facilitate the study of gene function and genome evolution in legumes, and ultimately to generate molecular based breeding tools to improve quality of crop legumes. LegumeIP currently hosts large-scale genomics and transcriptomics data, including: * Genomic sequences of three model legumes, i.e. Medicago truncatula, Glycine max (soybean) and Lotus japonicus, including two reference plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana and Poplar trichocarpa, with the annotation based on UniProt TrEMBL, InterProScan, Gene Ontology and KEGG databases. LegumeIP covers a total 222,217 protein-coding gene sequences. * Large-scale gene expression data compiled from 104 array hybridizations from L. japonicas, 156 array hybridizations from M. truncatula gene atlas database, and 14 RNA-Seq-based gene expression profiles from G. max on different tissues including four common tissues: Nodule, Flower, Root and Leaf. * Systematic synteny analysis among M. truncatula, G. max, L. japonicus and A. thaliana. * Reconstruction of gene family and gene family-wide phylogenetic analysis across the five hosted species. LegumeIP features comprehensive search and visualization tools to enable the flexible query on gene annotation, gene family, synteny, relative abundance of gene expression.

http://researchblogging.org/

Aggregator of blogs about new developments in science and other fields that allows readers to easily find blog posts about serious peer-reviewed research, instead of just news reports and press releases. If you''re a blogger who writes about serious research, Research Blogging offers you a way to distinguish your serious posts from news, politics, family, bagpipes, and so on. They can direct your regular readers - and new readers - to the posts you''ve worked the hardest to create. All you need to get started is a blog and a peer-reviewed research report that you''d like to discuss. How it works * Bloggers -- often experts in their field -- find exciting new peer-reviewed research they''d like to share. They write thoughtful posts about the research for their blogs. * Bloggers register and use a simple one-line form to create a snippet of code to place in their posts. This snippet not only notifies this site about their post, it also creates a properly formatted research citation for their blog. * Their software automatically scans registered blogs for posts containing their code snippet. When it finds them, it indexes them and displays them on their front page -- thousands of posts from hundreds of blogs, in one convenient place, organized by topic. * Their editors identify the notable posts in each major discipline, publishing the results on their news page. * Other services like PubGet index their database as well, so every time readers search for a journal article, they can also locate blog posts discussing the article. * The quality of the posts listed on their site is monitored by the member bloggers. If a post doesn''t follow their guidelines, it is removed from their database. Borderline cases may be discussed publicly on the blog as well. Bloggers are also provided with an icon they can use to show when they''re talking about a peer-reviewed work that they''ve read and analyzed closely. There are already over seven thousand blog posts using the icon, and now it''s easier than ever to find them.

An online game for mapping neuronal connections in the retina. The site provides microscopic retinal images and uses crowdsourcing to make sense of the images. EyeWire is where the general public can help make discoveries about the neural structure of the retina. The challenge is to map the neural connections of the retina by analyzing images that were acquired using serial electron microscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. A retinal volume of size 350��300��60 micrometer cubed was imaged, amounting to about one terabyte of data. Retinal Connectome * Game 1: Reconstructing Neurons * Game 2: Identifying Synapses Eyewire incorporates computational technologies developed by the laboratory of Prof. Sebastian Seung at MIT.

An endowment that offers funding for neuroscience research, especially as it may apply to Minnesota, agriculture, or if the researchers are based in Minnesota. The McKnight Foundation, a Minnesota-based family foundation, seeks to improve the quality of life for present and future generations through grantmaking, collaboration, and strategic policy reform in the following areas: arts, education and learning, environment, the region and communities, agricultural research, and neuroscience research. The McKnight Foundation assists nonprofit organizations and public agencies to improve the quality of life for all people, particularly those in need. Through grantmaking, coalition-building, and encouragement of strategic policy reform, we aim to build and maintain vibrant communities; enrich people''s lives through the arts; encourage protection of the natural environment; and promote research in selected fields. The Foundation had assets of approximately $1.8 billion and gave about $98 million in grants in 2009. Generally speaking, McKnight supports nonprofit organizations in Minnesota, U.S., only. McKnight''s primary geographic focus in grantmaking is to nonprofit organizations located within the state of Minnesota. We do not provide funding outside Minnesota, with five important programmatic exceptions: * Collaborative Crop research: International. * East Africa: Tanzania and Uganda only. * Mississippi River: 10 states bordering or encompassing the Mississippi River. * Neuroscience research: National. * Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam only. Each program is different. Please consult the specific guidelines appropriate to your project or organization for funding details. With very few exceptions, McKnight funds nonprofit organizations only. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations. We discourage the use of fiscal agents.

Platform for sharing data, with very large storage capability for electrophysiological data, EEG data is included. This service is provided for neuroscientists to facilitate data access, data storage, data analysis and data sharing. This service is developed and maintained by the German Node of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility. The global scale of neuroinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for scientific collaborations between and among experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. To fully harvest these possibilities, coordinated activities are required to improve key ingredients of neuroscience: data access, data storage, and data analysis, together with supporting activities for teaching and training. Focusing on the development and free distribution of tools for handling and analyzing neurophysiological data, G-Node aims at addressing these aspects as part of the International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) and the German Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience (NNCN). G-Node also serves as an international forum for Computational Neuroscientists that are interested in sharing experimental data and tools for data analysis and modeling. G-Node is funded through the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and hosted by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit-Munchen.
