THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 4, 2023.Consortium that developed brief, standardized and reliable procedures for the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias of the elderly. These procedures included data forms, flipbooks, guidebooks, brochures, instruction manuals and demonstration tapes, which are now available for purchase. The CERAD assessment material can be used for research purposes as well as for patient care. CERAD has developed several basic standardized instruments, each consisting of brief forms designed to gather data on normal persons as well as on cognitively impaired or behaviorally disturbed individuals. Such data permit the identification of dementia based on clinical, neuropsychological, behavioral or neuropathological criteria. Staff at participating CERAD sites were trained and certified to administer the assessment instruments and to evaluate the subjects enrolled in the study. Cases and controls were evaluated at entry and annually thereafter including (when possible) autopsy examination of the brain to track the natural progression of AD and to obtain neuropathological confirmation of the clinical diagnosis. The CERAD database has become a major resource for research in Alzheimer's disease. It contains longitudinal data for periods as long as seven years on the natural progression of the disorder as well as information on clinical and neuropsychological changes and neuropathological manifestations., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

DISCO is an information integration approach designed to facilitate interoperation among Internet resources. It consists of a set of tools and services that allows resource providers who maintain information to share it with automated systems such as NIF. NIF is then able to harvest the information and keep those sets of information up-to-date. How is this accomplished? By using a series of files and/or scripts which are then placed in the root directory of the resource developer''s resource. (NIF can also host the files on its servers and crawl for changes there.) Once the files of the resource providers are in place, and DISCO is notified, the DISCO server can then recognize and consume the information shared, providing machine understandable information to NIF Integrator Servers (also known as Aggregators) about your resource. What can DISCO do for my resource? * Inform search engines about your resource and keep your NIF Registry resource description up-to-date. * Expose your data (semi-structured datasets or fields within your structured database) through NIF''s Data Federation you choose what data will be shared. * Create links from an NCBI database (e.g., PubMed, Protein, Nucleotide, etc.) to your data records in NIF using Entrez LinkOut. * Advertise your terminology or ontological information. * Share your resource''s news with the NIF community., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. BioVU is a research resource providing a View into biology at the level of DNA and other important macromolecules. BioVU has two major components. The first is a repository of DNA samples (extracted from discarded blood samples) that are coded solely by a Research Unique Identifier (RUI) derived from the Medical Record Number (MRN) using a one-way hash function. This is a computer algorithm that creates a transformation of each MRN such that the resulting RUI (which is in this instance is a 512 byte identifier) is unique, and has the property that it is not possible to infer or compute the MRN that generated it. As of early 2009, over 50,000 DNA samples were in the biobank, with new samples being added at the rate of approximately 700 per week. The second component of the resource is the creation of a database known as the Synthetic Derivative which is a collection of de-identified information extracted from VUMC''s electronic clinical information systems, indexed by the same one-way RUI used to track samples, and with content changed by deletion or permutation of all identifiers contained within each record. The Synthetic Derivative search interface is available to Vanderbilt researchers via the StarBRITE research portal created and maintained by the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. This user interface enables investigators meeting protocol approval criteria and other user agreement requirements to receive protocol-specific sets of data derived from DNA samples and from the Synthetic Derivative., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

http://pubmatrix.grc.nia.nih.gov/

PubMatrix is a web-based tool that allows simple text based mining of the NCBI literature search service PubMed using any two lists of keywords terms, resulting in a frequency matrix of term co-occurrence. PubMatrix is a simple way to rapidly and systematically compare any list of terms against any other list of terms in PubMed. It reports back the frequency of co-occurrence between all pairwise comparisons between the two lists as a matrix table. Lists of terms can be anything; gene names, diseases, gene functions, authors, etc. The user can then quickly sort or browse the frequency matrix table to do individual searches independently. This allows the user to build up tables of word relationships in PubMed in the context of your experiments or your scientific interests. This is useful for analyzing combinatorial datasets, as found with multiplex experimental systems, such as cDNA microarrays, genomic, proteomic, or other multiplex comparisons. The PubMatrix database is an archive of previous searches on many topics. Sponsors: PubMatrix is supported by the National Institutes of Health.

A public curated compilation of allele frequency data on anthropologically defined human population samples linked to the molecular genetics-human genome databases. Only data on well defined population samples that are large enough to yield reasonably accurate frequencies and for polymorphisms sufficiently defined to be replicable can be included in ALFRED. Researchers wishing to have their data entered into ALFRED should contact them. Initially, ALFRED contained primarily data generated in the laboratories of K.K. and J.R. Kidd in the Department of Genetics at Yale, including extensive unpublished data. Data from the published literature are being entered into ALFRED in a systematic way, with a focus on polymorphisms studied in many different populations. ALFRED is distinct from such databases as dbSNP, which catalogs sequence variation. ALFRED's focus is on allele frequencies in diverse anthropologically defined populations. It is not a compendium of human DNA polymorphisms but of frequencies of selected polymorphisms with an emphasis on those that have been studied in multiple populations. All of the data in ALFRED are considered to be in the public domain and available for use in research and teaching. ALFRED provides easy searching options including versatile "Keyword search" and also has numerous summary tables providing quick overviews of contents by chromosome, population, average heterozygosity, Fst and others, all available under various tabs from the ALFRED homepage.
