An archive of hundreds of all-atom, explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations that were performed on a set of nine unfolded conformations of a variant of the villin headpiece subdomain (HP-35 NleNle). It includes scripts for accessing the archive of villin trajectories as well as a VMD plug-in for viewing the trajectories. In addition, all starting structures used in the trajectories are also provided. The simulations were generated using a distributed computing method utilizing the symmetric multiprocessing paradigm for individual nodes of the Folding_at_home distributed computing network. The villin trajectories in the archive are divided into two projects: PROJ3036 and PROJ3037. PROJ3036 contains trajectories starting from nine non-folded configurations. PROJ3037 contains trajectories starting from the native (folded) state. Runs 0 through 8 (in PROJ3036) correspond to starting configurations 0 through 8 discussed in the paper in J. Mol. Biol. (2007) 374(3):806-816 (see the publications tab for a full reference), whereas RUN9 uses the same starting configuration as RUN8. Each run contains 100 trajectories (named clone 0-99), each with the same starting configuration but different random velocities. Trajectories vary in their length of time and are subdivided into frames, also known as a generation. Each frame contains around 400 configurational snapshots, or timepoints, of the trajectory, with the last configurational snapshot of frame i corresponding to the first configurational snapshot of generation i+1. The goal is to allow researchers to analyze and benefit from the many trajectories produced through the simulations.

http://www.gramene.org

Curated, open-source, integrated data resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species to facilitate the study of cross-species comparisons using information generated from projects supported by public funds. It currently hosts annotated whole genomes in over two dozen plant species and partial assemblies for almost a dozen wild rice species in the Ensembl browser, genetic and physical maps with genes, ESTs and QTLs locations, genetic diversity data sets, structure-function analysis of proteins, plant pathways databases (BioCyc and Plant Reactome platforms), and descriptions of phenotypic traits and mutations. The web-based displays for phenotypes include the Genes and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) modules. Sequence based relationships are displayed in the Genomes module using the genome browser adapted from Ensembl, in the Maps module using the comparative map viewer (CMap) from GMOD, and in the Proteins module displays. BLAST is used to search for similar sequences. Literature supporting all the above data is organized in the Literature database. In addition, Gramene now hosts a variety of web services including a Distributed Annotation Server (DAS), BLAST and a public MySQL database. Twice a year, Gramene releases a major build of the database and makes interim releases to correct errors or to make important updates to software and/or data. Additionally you can access Gramene through an FTP site.

HaploReg is a tool for exploring annotations of the noncoding genome at variants on haplotype blocks, such as candidate regulatory SNPs at disease-associated loci. Using linkage disequilibrium (LD) information from the 1000 Genomes Project, linked SNPs and small indels can be visualized along with their predicted chromatin state in nine cell types, conservation across mammals, and their effect on regulatory motifs. HaploReg is designed for researchers developing mechanistic hypotheses of the impact of non-coding variants on clinical phenotypes and normal variation.

http://www.mbl.org/mbl_main/atlas.html

High-resolution electronic atlases for mouse strains c57bl/6j, a/j, and dba/2j in either coronal or horizontal section. About this Atlas: The anterior-posterior coordinates are taken from an excellent print atlas of a C57BL/6J brain by K. Franklin and G. Paxinos (The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Academic Press, San Diego, 1997, ISBN Number 0-12-26607-6; Library of Congress: QL937.F72). The abbreviations we have used to label the sections conform to those in the Franklin-Paxinos atlas. A C57BL/6J mouse brain may contain as many as 75 million neurons, 23 million glial cells, 7 million endothelial cells associated with blood vessels, and 3 to 4 million miscellaneous pial, ependymal, and choroid plexus cells (see data analysis in Williams, 2000). We have not yet counted total cell number in DBA/2J mice, but the counts are probably appreciably lower.The brain and sections were all processed as described in our methods section. The enlarged images have a pixel count of 1865 x 1400 and the resolution is 4.5 microns/pixel for the processed sections.Plans: In the next several years we hope to add several additional atlases of the same sort for other strains of mice. A horizontal C57BL/6J atlas and a DBA/2J coronal atlas were completed by Tony Capra, summer 2000, and additional atlases may be made over the next several years. As describe in the MBL Procedures Section is not hard to make your own strain-specific atlas from the high resolution images in the MBL.

http://www.cpc.unc.edu/projects/addhealth

Longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 school year. Public data on about 21,000 people first surveyed in 1994 are available on the first phases of the study, as well as study design specifications. It also includes some parent and biomarker data. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded the collection of biological data in Add Health to understand the social, behavioral, and biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The restricted-use contract includes four hours of free consultation with appropriate staff; after that, there''s a fee for help. Researchers can also share information through a listserv devoted to the database.

Flexible Structural Neighborhood is a database of structural neighbors of proteins as seen by FATCAT - a flexible protein structure alignment program. The server accepts either a protein (PDB ID) or a domain (SCOP ID) as a query. For the former case, the server first displays the information of chains and domains of a given protein. Afterwards, users can retrieve similar structures for a domain (if domain information is available, i.e., the protein is collected by SCOP), or for a chain otherwise. The protein structure database we collected for similar structure search includes a representative set at 90% sequence identity of SCOP domains, and of up-to-date PDB entries that are not included in the latest release of SCOP.

Project whose aim is to produce a robust phylogeny of all the deepest branches within a mega-diverse group, the spiders, by combining a massive amount of newly generated comparative genomic data with a substantial set of new and re-assessed data on morphology and behavior. They propose to collect a huge amount of genomic information in order to test and improve the results achieved by over 50 detailed morphological cladistic analyses conducted by more than 30 investigators during the past 15 years. The insignificant amount of genomic work to date on spiders has been uncoordinated and of little utility for broad-scale phylogenetic investigation. The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing, however, makes it feasible to examine substantial parts of the genome across a dense sampling of spider taxa. They propose to sequence at least 50 loci (genome samples of 500-1,000 or more base pairs that can be sequenced as single pieces in both directions simultaneously) for representatives of at least 500 genera of spiders and their closest relatives (the whipscorpion orders Amblypygi, Uropygi, and Schizomida). These genera will be carefully selected by a sampling strategy designed to maximize the resolution of deep branches within spider phylogeny, and will purposefully include all the previously most-favored study organisms of ethologists, ecologists, physiologists, and developmental and molecular biologists, thus integrating and contextualizing their research. Data matrices will be produced that combine the new genomic data with a new, comprehensive survey of morphological and behavioral homologies, offering a unique index to all comparative data on one large group. New computer software, designed in large part by members of their group and using massively parallel processing to achieve supercomputing capability, makes such analyses feasible.
