We aim to facilitate the pathway for access, storage, use and transfer of human organs, cells and tissue between clinical centers within UCL Partners, academic groups in UCL, other universities, hospitals, medical researcher and biotechnology companies, to enhance the ability for researchers to access the materials they need. Alongside this, researchers will be able to exchange information and access guides on regulatory, ethics and practical issues concerning access, transfer and use of this type of material. These guides will be video and documents format, based on talks at organized events given by experts in the relevant fields. All of this information will be accessible on a website that seeks to link groups within UCL and attract attention from the wider world through social media and expansion of existing contacts. Our vision is to develop a centralized human tissue provision and utilization service for academic and commercial researchers UCL has the highest concentration of biomedical researchers in Europe. As part of this, UCL has numerous licensed biobanks and is associated with many research intensive hospitals in North London. The role of a biobank is to prepare and hold human tissue samples in for use by medical researchers to help delivery new treatments. Hospitals can also provide human tissue for research by utilizing waste human tissue taken as part of surgery or diagnostic procedures, but is normally incinerated. The researchers using the human tissue could be working within academic laboratories in UK universities and institutions or as part of commercial companies. Researchers currently cannot easily access human tissue to meet the demands of their research, often due to the long ethical, regulatory and contractual processes. However, with the enormous UCL biobanking and research Hospital resources, UCL could be a leading academic institution in providing human tissue for medical research within the UK and internationally. Our vision is to develop a centralized human tissue provision and utilization service for academic and commercial researchers. This relies on creating an overarching infrastructure, to consolidate information on disparate human tissue resources around UCL, and (where possible) gain centralized ethical and regulatory and contractual approval for use of the tissue. Funding the infrastructure will rely on a cost recovery model for a per sample basis. As a result the time needed to obtain tissue for research will be dramatically reduced, whilst providing a simple costing model for obtaining human tissue. This will make human tissue procurement much more efficient for end users.

A collection of data that describes and identifies predictors of mortality, hospitalization, and placement in long-term care facilities and investigates risk factors for chronic diseases and loss of functioning. The EPESE project consisted of baseline and annual follow-up surveys on approximately 14,000 noninstitutionalized persons aged 65 and older in four geographically-defined communities: East Boston, Massachusetts; Iowa and Washington counties, Iowa; New Haven, Connecticut (started in 1982-1983); and a five-county-wide region in north-central North Carolina (started in 1986). Half of the participants in the North Carolina EPESE are African-American. The baseline data cover demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, height, weight, income, education, marital status, number of children, employment, and religion); social and physical functioning; chronic conditions; related health problems; health habits; self-reported use of dental, hospital, and nursing home services. More detailed descriptions of the Iowa and North Carolina surveys follow in this document (Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study and PHSE Ten-Year Follow-up of North Carolina EPESE). Data Availability: Data from the baseline and the first 6 years of follow-up are available as ICPSR Study No. 9915. Information from death certificates obtained for deaths occurring in the first 6 years of follow-up is also available. * Dates of Study: 1981-1993 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** 1981: 14,458 (Baseline) ** 1982: 14,070 (First follow-up) ** 1983: 13,382 (Second follow-up) ** 1984: 12,381 (Third follow-up) ** 1985: 11,657 (Fourth follow-up) ** 1986: 10,998 (Fifth follow-up) ** 1987: 9,998 (Sixth follow-up) Link * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/09915

Matlab toolbox that makes it easy to apply decoding analyses to neural data. The design of the toolbox revolves around four abstract object classes which enables users to interchange particular modules in order to try different analyses while keeping the rest of the processing stream intact. The toolbox is capable of analyzing data from many different types of recording modalities, and examples are given on how it can be used to decode basic visual information from neural spiking activity and how it can be used to examine how invariant the activity of a neural population is to stimulus transformations.

Ribonuclease P is responsible for the 5''-maturation of tRNA precursors. Ribonuclease P is a ribonucleoprotein, and in bacteria (and some Archaea) the RNA subunit alone is catalytically active in vitro, i.e. it is a ribozyme. The Ribonuclease P Database is a compilation of ribonuclease P sequences, sequence alignments, secondary structures, three-dimensional models and accessory information. The database contains information on bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic RNase P. The RNase P and protein sequences are available from phylogentically-arranged lists, individual sequences, or aligned in GenBank format. The database also provides secondary structures and 3D models, as well as movies, still images, and other accessory information.

A database of proteins identified by various 2-D PAGE and SDS-PAGE reference maps. Each SWISS-2DPAGE entry contains textual data on one protein, including mapping procedures, physiological and pathological information, experimental data (isoelectric point, molecular weight, amino acid composition, peptide masses) and bibliographical references. In addition to this textual data, SWISS-2DPAGE provides several 2-D PAGE and SDS-PAGE images showing the experimentally determined location of the protein, as well as a theoretical region computed from the sequence protein, indicating where the protein might be found in the gel. Using the database, users can locate these proteins on the 2-D PAGE maps or display the region of a 2-D PAGE map where one might expect to find a protein from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot.
