The baseline NCS, fielded from the fall of 1990 to the spring of 1992, was the first nationally representative mental health survey in the U.S. to use a fully structured research diagnostic interview to assess the prevalences and correlates of DSM-III-R disorders. The baseline NCS respondents were re-interviewed in 2001-02 (NCS-2) to study patterns and predictors of the course of mental and substance use disorders and to evaluate the effects of primary mental disorders in predicting the onset and course of secondary substance disorders. In conjunction with this, an NCS Replication survey (NCS-R) was carried out in a new national sample of 10,000 respondents. The goals of the NCS-R are to study trends in a wide range of variables assessed in the baseline NCS and to obtain more information about a number of topics either not covered in the baseline NCS or covered in less depth than we currently desire. A survey of 10,000 adolescents (NCS-A) was carried out in parallel with the NCS-R and NCS-2 surveys. The goal of NCS-A is to produce nationally representative data on the prevalences and correlates of mental disorders among youth. The NCS-R and NCS-A, finally, are being replicated in a number of countries around the world. Centralized cross-national analysis of these surveys is being carried out by the NCS data analysis team under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health Survey Initiative. In order to provide an easily accessible database which can be updated and checked on a regular basis, we have created a public use file system containing all the documents from the NCS and NCS-R programs. These file systems can be accessed through the Internet and either downloaded onto a disk or printed. We will update the system on a regular basis to add newly completed paper abstracts and other documents. In addition, the NCS and NCS-R data can be accessed through ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research). Any updates to the data to correct coding or classification errors will be made available along with written documentation of the changes in ICPSR''s quarterly newsletter.

http://eyebrowse.cit.nih.gov/

EyeBrowse displays expressed sequence tag (EST) cDNA clones from eye tissues (derived from NEIBank and other sources) aligned with current versions of the human, rhesus, mouse, rat, dog, cow, chicken, or zebrafish genomes, including reference sequences for known genes. This gives a simplified view of gene expression activity from different parts of the eye across the genome. The data can be interrogated in several ways. Specific gene names can be entered into the search window. Alternatively, regions of the genome can be displayed. For example, entering two STS markers separated by a semicolon (e.g. RH18061;RH80175) allows the display of the entire chromosomal region associated with the mapping of a specific disease locus. ESTs for each tissue can then be displayed to help in the selection of candidate genes. In addition, sequences can be entered into a BLAT search and rapidly aligned on the genome, again showing eye derived ESTs for the same region. EyeBrowse includes a custom track display SAGE data for human eye tissues derived from the EyeSAGE project. The track shows the normalized sum of SAGE tag counts from all published eye-related SAGE datasets centered on the position of each identifiable Unigene cluster. This indicates relative activity of each gene locus in eye. Clicking on the vertical count bar for a particular location will bring up a display listing gene details and linking to specific SAGE counts for each eye SAGE library and comparisons with normalized sums for neural and non-neural tissues. To view or alter settings for the EyeSAGE track on EyeBrowse, click on the vertical gray bar at the left of the display. Other custom tracks display known eye disease genes and mapped intervals for candidate loci for retinal disease, cataract, myopia and cornea disease. These link back to further information at NEIBank. For mouse, there is custom track data for ChIP-on-Chip of RNA-Polymerase-II during photoreceptor maturation.

http://www.uniprot.org/program/Chordata

Data set of manually annotated chordata-specific proteins as well as those that are widely conserved. The program keeps existing human entries up-to-date and broadens the manual annotation to other vertebrate species, especially model organisms, including great apes, cow, mouse, rat, chicken, zebrafish, as well as Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. A draft of the complete human proteome is available in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and one of the current priorities of the Chordata protein annotation program is to improve the quality of human sequences provided. To this aim, they are updating sequences which show discrepancies with those predicted from the genome sequence. Dubious isoforms, sequences based on experimental artifacts and protein products derived from erroneous gene model predictions are also revisited. This work is in part done in collaboration with the Hinxton Sequence Forum (HSF), which allows active exchange between UniProt, HAVANA, Ensembl and HGNC groups, as well as with RefSeq database. UniProt is a member of the Consensus CDS project and thye are in the process of reviewing their records to support convergence towards a standard set of protein annotation. They also continuously update human entries with functional annotation, including novel structural, post-translational modification, interaction and enzymatic activity data. In order to identify candidates for re-annotation, they use, among others, information extraction tools such as the STRING database. In addition, they regularly add new sequence variants and maintain disease information. Indeed, this annotation program includes the Variation Annotation Program, the goal of which is to annotate all known human genetic diseases and disease-linked protein variants, as well as neutral polymorphisms.

Preprocessed versions of the ADHD-200 Global Competition data including both preprocessed versions of structural and functional datasets previously made available by the ADHD-200 consortium, as well as initial standard subject-level analyses. The ADHD-200 Sample is pleased to announce the unrestricted public release of 776 resting-state fMRI and anatomical datasets aggregated across 8 independent imaging sites, 491 of which were obtained from typically developing individuals and 285 in children and adolescents with ADHD (ages: 7-21 years old). Accompanying phenotypic information includes: diagnostic status, dimensional ADHD symptom measures, age, sex, intelligence quotient (IQ) and lifetime medication status. Preliminary quality control assessments (usable vs. questionable) based upon visual timeseries inspection are included for all resting state fMRI scans. In accordance with HIPAA guidelines and 1000 Functional Connectomes Project protocols, all datasets are anonymous, with no protected health information included. They hope this release will open collaborative possibilities and contributions from researchers not traditionally addressing brain data so for those whose specialties lay outside of MRI and fMRI data processing, the competition is now one step easier to join. The preprocessed data is being made freely available through efforts of The Neuro Bureau as well as the ADHD-200 consortium. They ask that you acknowledge both of these organizations in any publications (conference, journal, etc.) that make use of this data. None of the preprocessing would be possible without the freely available imaging analysis packages, so please also acknowledge the relevant packages and resources as well as any other specific release related acknowledgements.
