A neuroscience research program that studies genes, the brain and behavior in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. Central to G2C investigations is the NMDA receptor complex (NRC/MASC), that is found at the synapses in the central nervous system which constitute the functional connections between neurons. Changes in the receptor and associated components are thought to be in a large part responsible for the phenomenon of synaptic plasticity, that may underlie learning and memory. G2C is addressing the function of synapse proteins using large scale approaches combining genomics, proteomics and genetic methods with electrophysiological and behavioral studies. This is incorporated with computational models of the organization of molecular networks at the synapse. These combined approaches provide a powerful and unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of disease genes in behavior and brain pathology as well as provide fundamental insights into the complexity of the human brain. Additionally, Genes to Cognition makes available its biological resources, including gene-targeting vectors, ES cell lines, antibodies, and transgenic mice, generated for its phenotyping pipeline. The resources are freely-available to interested researchers.

The HCV Immunology Database contains a curated inventory of immunological epitopes in HCV and their interaction with the immune system, with associated retrieval and analysis tools. The funding for the HCV database project has stopped, and this website and the HCV immunology database are no longer maintained. The site will stay up, but problems will not be fixed. The database was last updated in September 2007. The HIV immunology website contains the same tools, and may be usable for non-HCV-specific analyses. For new epitope information, users of this database can try the Immuno Epitope Database (http://www.immuneepitope.org).

Repository of knockout mice that have been extensively characterized. For each mouse line, the contractors will provide not only the mouse line itself, but also detailed, objective data on the impact of the specific gene deletion on the mouse''s phenotype, which includes appearance, health, fitness, behavior, ability to reproduce, and radiological and microscopic data. Such comprehensive information on such a large group of mice has never been available to public sector researchers, and is expected to greatly accelerate efforts to explore gene functions in health and disease. This resource will give researchers unprecedented access to two private collections of knockout mice, providing valuable models for the study of human disease and laying the groundwork for a public, genome-wide library of knockout mice. The contracts also provide for the opportunity for NIH to obtain up to 1500 additional mouse lines and phenotypic data over the next three years, pending available funds. The new contracts provide NIH with irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licenses to use and distribute to academic and non-profit researchers these lines of knockout mice. The mouse lines, which will be stored in the form of frozen embryos, frozen sperm and frozen embryonic stem (ES) cells, will be delivered to NIH-funded mouse repositories that supply mice to universities, medical schools and research labs all over the world. When researchers express interest in obtaining a certain knockout mouse line, the repositories will send them live mice, frozen embryos, sperm, and/or ES cells, so they can study the mice in their own labs. All data on the mice will be made available to researchers worldwide without restriction in publicly available databases on the Web. This resource will be available for a nominal fee which will be used to cover the cost of handling, shipping and replenishing the stock. Under the license agreements with Deltagen and Lexicon, researchers who receive the knockout mice lines through NIH are free to publish any results from research involving the line and also to seek patent or other intellectual property protection for any of the inventions or discoveries resulting from such research. List of Available Knockout Mice: http://www.informatics.jax.org/external/ko/
