THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. The mission of the C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is to facilitate genetic research of this important model system through the production of deletion alleles at specified gene targets. We choose targets based on investigator requests. Strains produced by the consortium are freely available with no restrictions to any investigator. At one time, our capacity dictated that we restrict requests to five per lab. This restriction no longer holds. Investigators are encouraged especially to register requests for functionally related groups of genes. Consortium strains are distributed by the C. elegans Genetic Center (CGC). In most cases, when you use the Consortium web site to request an existing allele, your request is forwarded automatically to the CGC. However, if you indicate that an existing allele is not satisfactory for your research, (for whatever reason), you may request that we generate another allele for the same target. Any information generated by the Consortium is entered into the official C. elegans data repository, WormBase.

The Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation, established in 2002, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group that provides support services for those who have family members affected by 22q13 Deletion Syndrome / Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. It also raises money to further awareness of the syndrome through research and sponsoring an international conference every two years that brings together families, researchers and therapists. The Foundation facilitates connections between families through networking, communications and support services. We also build alliances with other rare diseases groups to expand our reach and exposure. The syndrome, which affects families worldwide, is a rare genetic occurrence and is the result of a damaged or missing protein on the 22nd chromosome. Our Foundation works with researchers who are looking into the cause and possible cure for the syndrome. PMSF's grants and fellowships program is intended to encourage research projects that will advance the development of treatments and cures for PMS. Our mission is to bring together everyone affected by 22q13 Deletion Syndrome/Phelan-McDermid Syndrome to help them through the challenges they face every day and to raise awareness in the medical and research communities.

http://www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKS/

The primary mission of the Living Links Center is to study human evolution by investigating our close genetic, anatomical, cognitive, and behavioral similarities with great apes. The Living Links Center was established for primate studies that shed light on human behavioral evolution. It is an integrated part of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, which is the nation's oldest and largest primate center. The Living Links Center is home to two socially housed groups of chimpanzees and two socially housed groups of capuchin monkeys. The research conducted in this center is broken down into four categories: - Chimpanzees: Chimpanzee research at the Living Links Center is conducted at the Yerkes Field Station, which is home to two socially housed chimpanzee groups known as FS1 and FS2. Each mixed gender group of 12 individuals lives in a large outdoor enclosure with wooden climbing structures and play objects attached to an indoor sleeping area. FS1 and FS2 can hear, but not see each other because their enclosures are ~200m apart and separated by a small hill. Chimpanzee research is conducted on a volunteer basis with members of each group. - Elephants: This newly found presence of mirror self-recognition in elephants, previously predicted due to their well-known social complexity, is thought to relate to empathetic tendencies and the ability to distinguish oneself from others. As a result of this study, the elephant now joins a cognitive elite among animals commensurate with its well-known complex social life and high level of intelligence. Although elephants are far more distantly related to us than the great apes, they seem to have evolved similar social and cognitive capacities making complex social systems and intelligence part of this picture. These parallels between humans and elephants suggest a convergent cognitive evolution possibly related to complex sociality and cooperation. - Capuchin Monkeys: Though there are several different species of capuchin monkey, the one most widely studied in captivity by Living Links, is the brown, or tufted, capuchin (Cebus apella). - Collaborative Projects: projects with collaborators around the world. Sponsors: This center is supported by the Yerkes National Primate Research Center.

http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/vaast.html

A probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST combines elements of phylogenetic conservation, amino acid substitution, and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to accurately identify damaged genes and deleterious variants. The software can score both coding (SNV, indel and splice site) and non-coding variants (SNV), evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. It can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases and can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases.

Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) is an integral part of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) Genome Research Project. RGP now aims to completely sequence the entire rice genome and subsequently to pursue integrated goals in functional genomics, genome informatics and applied genomics. It is jointly coordinated by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), a government research institute under MAFF and the Society for Techno-innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (STAFF), a semi-private research organization managed and supported by MAFF and a consortium of some twenty Japanese companies. The research is funded with yearly grants from MAFF and additional funds from the Japan Racing Association (JRA). It is now the leading member of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), a consortium of ten countries sharing the sequencing of the 12 rice chromosomes. The IRGSP adopts the clone-by-clone shotgun sequencing strategy so that each sequenced clone can be associated with a specific position on the genetic map and adheres to the policy of immediate release of the sequence data to the public domain. In December 2004, the IRGSP completed the sequencing of the rice genome. The high-quality and map-based sequence of the entire genome is now available in public databases.
