Produce new neurological mouse models that could serve as experimental models for the exploration of basic neurobiological mechanisms and diseases. The impetus for the program resulted from the recognition that: * The value of genomic data would remain limited unless more information about the functionality of its individual components became available. * The task of linking genes to specific behavior would best be accomplished by employing a combination of different approaches. In an effort to complement already existing programs, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility decided to use: a random, genome-wide approach to mutagenesis, i.e.N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) as the mutagen; a three-generation back-cross breeding scheme to focus on the detection of recessive mutations; behavioral screens selective for the detection of phenotypes deemed useful for the program goals. The resulting mutant mouse lines have been available to the scientific community for the last five years and over 700 NMF mice have been sent to interested investigators for research; these mutant mouse lines will remain available as frozen embryos (which can be re-derived on request) and can be ordered through the JAX customer service at 1-800-422-6423 (or 207-288-5845). The results of the work of the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility and that of two other neurogenesis centers, i.e. The Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University, and the Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium, can also be seen at Neuromice.org, a common web site of these three research centers; in addition, information about all mutants produced by these groups has been recorded in MGI.

A national consortium formed to develop, disseminate, and apply approaches to research that combine DNA biorepositories with electronic medical record (EMR) systems for large-scale, high-throughput genetic research. The consortium is composed of seven member sites exploring the ability and feasibility of using EMR systems to investigate gene-disease relationships. Themes of bioinformatics, genomic medicine, privacy and community engagement are of particular relevance to eMERGE. The consortium uses data from the EMR clinical systems that represent actual health care events and focuses on ethical issues such as privacy, confidentiality, and interactions with the broader community.

http://www.census.gov/cps/

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey of about 50,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics for more than 50 years. It provides a comprehensive body of data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, and persons not in the labor force. The CPS is the primary source of information on the labor force characteristics of the U.S. population. The sample is scientifically selected to represent the civilian noninstitutional population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 15 years of age and older. However, published data focus on those ages 16 and over. The sample provides estimates for the nation as a whole and serves as part of model-based estimates for individual states and other geographic areas. Estimates obtained from the CPS include employment, unemployment, earnings, hours of work, and other indicators. They are available by a variety of demographic characteristics including age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. They are also available by occupation, industry, and class of worker. Supplemental questions to produce estimates on a variety of topics including school enrollment, income, previous work experience, health, employee benefits, and work schedules are also often added to the regular CPS questionnaire. CPS data are used by government policymakers and legislators as important indicators of our nations economic situation and for planning and evaluating many government programs. They are also used by the press, students, academics, and the general public.

Microtomy is a standard technique used for 2D microscopy, but it can also provide the foundation for 3D analysis using AutoAligner. AutoAligner reads a stack of serial sections and automatically aligns the single images, building up a 3D space that can be explored using Imaris. Each image is aligned in translation and rotation relative to its precursor image in the sequence. In addition to a fully automated mode, AutoAligner also provides manual control for neighboring images that are too different from each other for automatic alignment. The visual alignment tool uses fast display techniques for aligning images in real time.
