Web game that provides an innovative infrastructure for labeling to enable an alternative to expert raters for medical image labeling through statistical analysis of the collaborative efforts of many, minimally-trained raters. Statistical atlases of regional brain anatomy have proven to be extremely useful in characterizing the relationship between the structure and function of the human nervous system. Typically, an expert human rater manually examines each slice of a three-dimensional volume. This approach can be exceptionally time and resource intensive, so cost severely limits the clinical studies where subject-specific labeling is feasible. Methods for improved efficiency and reliability of manual labeling would be of immense benefit for clinical investigation into morphological correlates of brain function.

https://code.google.com/p/softsearch/

A sensitive structural variant (SV) detection software tool for Illumina paired-end next-generation sequencing data. It simultaneously utilizes soft-clipping and read-pair strategies for detecting SVs to increase sensitivity. Soft clips are proxies for split-reads that indicate part of the read maps to the reference genome, but the other part is not localized at the same place (e.g. breakpoint spanning reads). Discordant read-pairs refer to a read and its mate, where the insert size is greater (or less than) the expected distribution of the dataset ? or ? where the mapping orientation of the reads is unexpected (e.g. both on the same strand). SoftSearch looks for areas with soft-clipping in the genome that have discordant read pairs supporting the anomaly. Once areas with both these conditions are identified, the read and mate information is extracted directly from the BAM file containing the discordant reads, obviating the need for time-consuming and error-prone complex alignment strategies. Only a small number of soft-masked bases discordant read-pairs are necessary to identify an SV, which on their own would not be sufficient to make an SV call, thus highlighting SoftSearch?s improved sensitivity. SoftSearch is well suited to be ?plugged in? to most sequence analysis workflows, since it requires standard file inputs, such as a BAM file using almost any aligner and a reference genome FASTA file. Because SoftSearch requires soft-masked bases, the only requirement is that the aligner must have this functionality, which is usually turned on by default by many standard aligners (e.g. BWA, Novoalign, etc).

http://www.nactem.ac.uk/GREC/

A semantically annotated corpus of 240 MEDLINE abstracts (167 on the subject of E. coli species and 73 on the subject of the Human species) intended for training information extraction (IE) systems and/or resources which are used to extract events from biomedical literature. The corpus has been manually annotated with events relating to gene regulation by biologists. Each event is centered on either a verb (e.g. transcribe) or nominalized verb (e.g. transcription) and annotation consists of identifying, as exhaustively as possible, the structurally-related arguments of the verb or nominalized verb within the same sentence. Each event argument is then assigned the following information: * A semantic role from a fixed set of 13 roles which are tailored to the biomedical domain. * A biomedical concept type (where appropriate). The corpus in available for download in 2 formats: * A standoff format, based on the BioNLP'09 Shared Task format * An XML format, based on the GENIA event annotation format

A software tool designed to aid researchers in browsing through scientific literature. As one reads an online article and encounters a citation that looks important, CSIBS creates a preview summary of the cited document. The key innovation is the contextual tailoring of the automatically generated summaries using the citation and its surrounding text. As this context changes, so too does the citation-specific summary portion of the preview, which contains contextually-relevant sentences extracted from the cited document. The CSIBS preview presents relevant information required to appraise the citation, containing meta-data about the reference, the abstract and the citation-specific summary. Thus, CSIBS, alleviates information overload by enabling the reader to determine whether or not to invest time in exploring the cited article further.

GlycoPeptideSearch (GPS) simplifies data interpretation of N-glycopeptide CID MS/MS datasets by searching for glycopeptide results consistent with MS/MS spectra. Results are tabulated in Excel format. Accelerate and simplify interpretation of N-glycopeptide CID MS/MS spectra using GlycoPeptideSearch (GPS). This tool is designed for tandem mass-spectra acquired from proteolytic digests of purified glycoproteins modified with N-glycans and analyzed by LC-MS/MS and CID. The search yields an Excel spreadsheet of N-glycopeptide matches consistent with the spectra. GPS requires two files as input - an mzXML (or other open spectral format) file of glycopeptide CID tandem mass-spectra and a text file (.txt) of peptide sequences containing the N-linked glycosylation motif NXS/T. Spectral datafiles must be converted from raw vendor formats, such as .RAW or .wiff, to an open peak list format (mzXML preferred). In addition to these two input files, the user must specify one or more glycan databases (provided in the software package). The database(s) selected by the user will be used to match glycan structures in the glycopeptide spectra. The output is an Excel spreadsheet with one or more rows for spectra within the dataset that contain evidence of glycoprotein fragmentation, paired with one or more proposed glycopeptide matches for each spectrum. Glycopeptide matches consist of a peptide-glycan pair, with the peptide drawn from the user-supplied peptide file, and the glycan selected from a glycan database(s). The human subset of the GlycomeDB glycan database is provided, and N-linked glycans are automatically selected from it. GPS interprets glycopeptide CID MS/MS spectra by first requiring MS/MS spectra contain evidence of glycopeptide fragmentation - the oxonium ion peaks (m/z 204 - Hex, m/z 366 - HexNAc), and N-glycopeptide core specific peaks (peptide, peptide + HexNAc, peptide + HexNAc-HexNAc, peptide + HexNAc-HexNAc-Hex). For spectra that meet these initial criteria, for a particular peptide, a mass-based search of one or more glycan databases looks for glycans which capture the remaining mass of the spectral precursor. Additional spectral information may be used to narrow the number of matches, and equivalent glycan topologies may be collapsed to a single peptide-glycan pair. GPS also provides N-glycan compositions with the necessary additional mass, even if no glycan with the composition is present in the glycan database(s). GPS can either be run from the command-line or by using its graphical user interface. We recommend the msconvert (or MSConvertGUI) software from the ProteoWizard project to convert spectral datafiles from vendor formats such as .wiff and .RAW into mzXML.

Project to addresses challenges associated with the preservation of scientific experiments in data-intensive science, including: * The definition of models to describe, in a standard way, scientific experiments by means of workflow-centric Research Objects, which comprise scientific workflows, the provenance of their executions, interconnections between workflows and related resources (e.g., datasets, publications, etc.), and social aspects related to such scientific experiments. * The collection of best practices for the creation and management of Research Objects. * The analysis and management of decay in scientific workflows. To address these challenges they are creating an architecture and tooling for the access, manipulation, sharing, reuse and evolution of Research Objects in a range of disciplines. This will result into the next generation RO-enabled myExperiment.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. Gene Ontology Explorer (GOEx) combines data from protein fold changes with GO over-representation statistics to help draw conclusions in proteomic experiments. It is tightly integrated within the PatternLab for Proteomics project and, thus, lies within a complete computational environment that provides parsers and pattern recognition tools designed for spectral counting. GOEx offers three independent methods to query data: an interactive directed acyclic graph, a specialist mode where key words can be searched, and an automatic search. A recent hack included in GOEx is to load the sparse matrix index file directly into GOEx, instead of going through the report generation using the AC/T-fold methods. This makes it easy for GOEx to analyze any list of proteins as long as the list follows the index file format (described in manuscript) . Please note that if using this alternative strategy, there will be no protein fold information. Platform: Windows compatible
