SPROUTS is a database of predicted protein folding related data. It was designed to gather all the results from a study concerning the comparison between tools devoted to the prediction of stability changes upon point mutations. The second aim of this database is to offer simple and user-friendly tools to better visualize and analyze the results obtained. We are now able to propose three ways of visualization and analysis: the first one consists in getting raw Delta Delta G values in a table. The second one is a 2D graph representation of a computed stability score for each residue of a given sequence and for each tool. The last one is based on a Jmol applet (Jmol) with the possibility to represent the 3D structure of a given protein with symbols representing the information stored in the database. We assume that each visualization mode offers a different look on the data stored in the database and will suit to every scientists willing to query the database whether they are more used to handle 3D protein structure or 1D/2D sequence problems. Finally, the ultimate objective is to integrate these data and their analysis with other structural bioinformatic concepts in order to improve other methods that may be related to this concept. We are currently working at adding the information extracted from our other projects related to the prediction of protein folding nucleus in order to obtain a meta server devoted to the characterization of the folding core of proteins. As of today, this database has grown up and consists in more than 100 structures which have been computed for a total of around 16500 amino acids.

The human brain has the remarkable ability to adapt in response to changes in the environment over the course of a lifetime. This is the mechanism for learning, growth, and normal development. Similar changes or adaptations can also occur in response to focal brain injuries, e.g., partially-adapted neighboring brain regions or functionally-related brain systems can either substitute for some of the lost function or develop alternative strategies to overcome a disability. Through ongoing research, the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory''s mission is to: * Reveal the perceptual and cognitive aspects of music processing including the perception and memory for pitch, rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic stimuli. * Investigate the use of music and musical stimuli as an interventional tool for educational and therapeutic purposes. * Reveal the behavioral and neural correlates of learning, skill acquisition, and brain adaptation in response to changes in the environment or brain injury in the developing and adult brain. * Reveal the determinants and facilitators for recovery from brain injury. Project topics include: Aphasia Therapy, Singing and Speaking, Tone Deafness / Congenital Amusia, Motor Recovery Studies, Music and Emotions, Music and Autism, Children and Music Making, Brain Stimulation, Adult Musician Studies, Absolute Pitch Studies, Acute Stroke Studies

http://divvy.ucsd.edu/

Software application for performing unsupervised machine learning and visualization with a focus on the clustering (separating data into groups) and dimensionality reduction (finding low dimensional structure in high dimensional data) subfields of machine learning. For visualization we provide support for both the whole dataset (e.g. a scatter plot) and points (e.g. transforming a particular point into an image). * Endlessly extensible. Every clusterer, reducer, point visualizer and dataset visualizer in Divvy is a plugin. We''ve provided a few big ones (K-means, PCA, scatter plot, &c.) and we''re hoping the community will use our plugin protocol to build many more. Each plugin defines its own UI, so your algorithm can look and behave the way that you want it to without top-down constraints. * Have lots of cores? Divvy is both task and data parallel. No longer will you be waiting for one algorithm to complete before you start another. Start as many as you want and keep using the UI. Only started one? With data parallelism we''ll still push your new MacBook Pro to 800% CPU utilization. * Part of your workflow: Export your clusterings and reductions to .csv and your visualizations to .png. Use your Matlab or R data with our Matlab/R to Divvy export tools available at http://github.com/jmlewis/divvy.

This resource''s long-term goal is to develop informatics methodologies and tools that will increase the creativity and productivity of neuroscience investigators, as they work together to use shared human brain mapping data to generate and test ideas far beyond those pursued by the data''s originators. This resource currently has four major projects supporting this goal: * Database tools: The goal of the NeuroServ project is to provide neuroscience researchers with automated information management tools that reduce the effort required to manage, analyze, query, view, and share their imaging data. It currently manages both structural magnetic resonance image (MRI) datasets and diffusion tensor image (DTI) datasets. NeuroServ is fully web-enabled: data entry, query, processing, reporting, and administrative functions are performed by qualified users through a web browser. It can be used as a local laboratory repository, to share data on the web, or to support a large distributed consortium. NeuroServ is based on an industrial-quality query middleware engine MRALD. NeuroServ includes a specialized neuroimaging schema and over 40 custom Java Server Pages supporting data entry, query, and reporting to help manage and explore stored images. NeuroServ is written in Java for platform independence; it also utilizes several open source components * Data sharing: DataQuest is a collaborative forum to facilitate the sharing of neuroimaging data within the neuroscience community. By publishing summaries of existing datasets, DataQuest enables researchers to: # Discover what data is available for collaborative research # Advertise your data to other researchers for potential collaborations # Discover which researchers may have the data you need # Discover which researchers are interested in your data. * Image quality: The approach to assessing the inherent quality of an image is to measure how distorted the image is. Using what are referred to as no-reference or blind metrics, one can measure the degree to which an image is distorted. * Content-based image retrieval: NIRV (NeuroImagery Retrieval & Visualization) is a work environment for advanced querying over imagery. NIRV will have a Java-based front-end for users to issue queries, run processing algorithms, review results, visualize imagery and assess image quality. NIRV interacts with an image repository such as NeuroServ. Users can also register images and will soon be able to filter searches based on image quality.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone.. Documented on May,18,2020.

Multidisciplinary research team devoted to the study of basic neuroscience with a specific interest in the description and generation of dendritic morphology, and in its effect on neuronal electrophysiology. In the long term, they seek to create large-scale, anatomically plausible neural networks to model entire portions of a mammalian brain (such as a hippocampal slice, or a cortical column). Achievements by the CNG include the development of software for the quantitative analysis of dendritic morphology, the implementation of computational models to simulate neuronal structure, and the synthesis of anatomically accurate, large scale neuronal assemblies in virtual reality. Based on biologically plausible rules and biophysical determinants, they have designed stochastic models that can generate realistic virtual neurons. Quantitative morphological analysis indicates that virtual neurons are statistically compatible with the real data that the model parameters are measured from. Virtual neurons can be generated within an appropriate anatomical context if a system level description of the surrounding tissue is included in the model. In order to simulate anatomically realistic neural networks, axons must be grown as well as dendrites. They have developed a navigation strategy for virtual axons in a voxel substrate.

Database of organelle proteins, and subcellular structures / complexes from compiled protein localization data from organisms spanning the eukaryotic kingdom. All data may be downloaded as a tab-delimited text file and new localization data (and localization images, etc) for any organism relevant to the data sets currently contained in Organelle DB is welcomed. The data sets in Organelle DB encompass 138 organisms with emphasis on the major model systems: S. cerevisiae, A. thaliana, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus, and human proteins as well. In particular, Organelle DB is a central repository of yeast protein localization data, incorporating results from both previous and current (ongoing) large-scale studies of protein localization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, we have manually curated several recent subcellular proteomic studies for incorporation in Organelle DB. In total, Organelle DB is a singular resource consolidating our knowledge of the protein composition of eukaryotic organelles and subcellular structures. When available, we have included terms from the Gene Ontologies: the cellular component, molecular function, and biological process fields are discussed more fully in GO. Additionally, when available, we have included fluorescent micrographs (principally of yeast cells) visualizing the described protein localization. Organelle View is a visualization tool for yeast protein localization. It is a visually engaging way for high school and undergraduate students to learn about genetics or for visually-inclined researchers to explore Organelle DB. By revealing the data through a colorful, dimensional model, we believe that different kinds of information will come to light.
