THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Database and customized tools to study the PFAM protein domain content of the transcriptome for all expressed genes of Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans tethered to both a genomics array repository database and a range of external information resources. GeneSpeed has merged information from several existing data sets including the Gene Ontology Consortium, InterPro, Pfam, Unigene, as well as micro-array datasets. GeneSpeed is a database of PFAM domain homology contained within Unigene. Because Unigene is a non-redundant dbEST database, this provides a wide encompassing overview of the domain content of the expressed transcriptome. We have structured the GeneSpeed Database to include a rich toolset allowing the investigator to study all domain homology, no matter how remote. As a result, homology cutoff score decisions are determined by the scientist, not by a computer algorithm. This quality is one of the novel defining features of the GeneSpeed database giving the user complete control of database content. In addition to a domain content toolset, GeneSpeed provides an assortment of links to external databases, a unique and manually curated Transcription Factor Classification list, as well as links to our newly evolving GeneSpeed BetaCell Database. GeneSpeed BetaCell is a micro-array depository combined with custom array analysis tools created with an emphasis around the meta analysis of developmental time series micro-array datasets and their significance in pancreatic beta cells.

A physiologic and molecular look at drug addiction involving many factors including: basic neurobiology, a scientific examination of drug action in the brain, the role of genetics in addiction, and ethical considerations. Designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public, the materials meet selected US education standards for science and health. Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by changes in the brain which result in a compulsive desire to use a drug. A combination of many factors including genetics, environment and behavior influence a person's addiction risk, making it an incredibly complicated disease. The new science of addiction considers all of these factors - from biology to family - to unravel the complexities of the addicted brain. * Natural Reward Pathways Exist in the Brain: The reward pathway is responsible for driving our feelings of motivation, reward and behavior. * Drugs Alter the Brain's Reward Pathway: Drugs work over time to change the reward pathway and affect the entire brain, resulting in addiction. * Genetics Is An Important Factor In Addiction: Genetic susceptibility to addiction is the result of the interaction of many genes. * Timing and Circumstances Influence Addiction: If you use drugs when you are an adolescent, you are more likely to develop lifetime addiction. An individual's social environment also influences addiction risk. * Challenges and Issues in Addiction: Addiction impacts society with many ethical, legal and social issues.

An algorithm for identifying pathways that are known to exist between two regions within DTI data of anisotropic tissue, e.g., muscle, brain, spinal cord. The ConTrack algorithms use knowledge of DTI scanning physics and apriori information about tissue architecture to identify the location of connections between two regions within the DTI data. Assuming a course of connection or pathway between these two regions is known to exist within the measured tissue, ConTrack can be used to estimate properties of these connections in-vivo.

A disease / disorder relationships explorer and a sample of a map-oriented scientific work. It uses the Human Disease Network dataset and allows intuitive knowledge discovery by mapping its complexity. The Human Disease Network (official) dataset, a poster of the data and related book (Biology - The digital era, ISBN: 978-2-271-06779-1) are available. This kind of data has a network-like organization, and relations between elements are at least as important as the elements themselves. More data could be integrated to this prototype and could eventually bring closer phenotype and genotype. Results should be visual, but also printable. Creating posters can enhance collaborative work. It facilitates discussion and sharing of ideas about the data. This website initiative is an invitation to think about the benefits of networks exploration but above all it tries to outline future designs of scientific information systems.

A community database of published functional and structural neuroimaging experiments with both metadata descriptions of experimental design and activation locations in the form of stereotactic coordinates (x,y,z) in Talairach or MNI space. BrainMap provides not only data for meta-analyses and data mining, but also distributes software and concepts for quantitative integration of neuroimaging data. The goal of BrainMap is to develop software and tools to share neuroimaging results and enable meta-analysis of studies of human brain function and structure in healthy and diseased subjects. It is a tool to rapidly retrieve and understand studies in specific research domains, such as language, memory, attention, reasoning, emotion, and perception, and to perform meta-analyses of like studies. Brainmap contains the following software: # Sleuth: database searches and Talairach coordinate plotting (this application requires a username and password) # GingerALE: performs meta-analyses via the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method; also converts coordinates between MNI and Talairach spaces using icbm2tal # Scribe: database entry of published functional neuroimaging papers with coordinate results

Database of known and predicted mammalian and eukaryotic protein-protein interactions, it is designed to be both a resource for the laboratory scientist to explore known and predicted protein-protein interactions, and to facilitate bioinformatics initiatives exploring protein interaction networks. It has been built by mapping high-throughput (HTP) data between species. Thus, until experimentally verified, these interactions should be considered predictions. It remains one of the most comprehensive sources of known and predicted eukaryotic PPI. It contains 490,600 Source Interactions, 370,002 Predicted Interactions, for a total of 846,116 interactions, and continues to expand as new protein-protein interaction data becomes available.

http://code.google.com/p/biocaster-ontology/

A multilingual application ontology aimed at the early detection of public health events in the media. It aims to describe the terms and relations necessary to detect and risk assess public health events in the grey literature at an early stage; and bridge the gap between the (multilingual) grey literature and existing standards in biomedicine. The BCO focuses on the usage of terms and relations within informal unstructured reports which are often made at a pre-diagnostic stage of a disease outbreak by non-medically trained reporters. This is done to provide monitoring and early warning about public health hazards from online media reports.
