An intelligent search engine to retrieve biomedical correlations from MEDLINE, based on indexing by Natural Language Processing and Text Mining techniques. You can find abstracts/sentences in MEDLINE by specifying semantics of correlations; for example, What activates p53 and What causes colon cancer. Semantic search uses a semantic query for finding biomedical correlations. Input a subject, a verb, and an object of a concept (or either of them) into a form. Results of the query will be shown in a second. (E.g., What does p53 activate? (subject=p53, verb=activate)) Reference: Miyao, Yusuke, Tomoko Ohta, Katsuya Masuda, Yoshimasa Tsuruoka, Kazuhiro Yoshida, Takashi Ninomiya and Jun''''ichi Tsujii (2006) Semantic Retrieval for the Accurate Identification of Relational Concepts in Massive Textbases.

The Neurocritic is a blog deconstructing the most sensationalistic recent findings in Human Brain Imaging, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Psychopharmacology. Born in West Virginia in 1980, The Neurocritic embarked upon a roadtrip across America at the age of thirteen with his mother. She abandoned him when they reached San Francisco and The Neurocritic descended into a spiral of drug abuse and prostitution. At fifteen, The Neurocritic''s psychiatrist encouraged him to start writing as a form of therapy.

http://gump.qimr.edu.au/general/daleN/SNPSpD/

SNPSpD is a method of correcting for non-independance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with each other, on the basis of the spectral decomposition (SpD) of matrices of LD between SNP''s. Additionally, output from SNPSpD includes eigenvalues, principal-component coefficients, and factor loadings after varimax rotation, enabling the selection of a subset of SNPs that optimize the information in a genomic region.

http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/l2n/upload/register.php

A web-based software system that allows users to upload lists of mammalian genes/proteins onto a server-based program for integrated analysis. The system includes web-based tools to manipulate lists with different set operations, to expand lists using existing mammalian networks of protein-protein interactions, co-expression correlation, or background knowledge co-annotation correlation, as well as to apply gene-list enrichment analyses against many gene-list libraries of prior biological knowledge such as pathways, gene ontology terms, kinase-substrate, microRNA-mRAN, and protein-protein interactions, metabolites, and protein domains. Such analyses can be applied to several lists at once against many prior knowledge libraries of gene-lists associated with specific annotations. The system also contains features that allow users to export networks and share lists with other users of the system.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/carp/

Service that generates Ramachandran-like plots of carbohydrate linkage torsions in pdb-files. The Ramachandran Plot, where backbone torsion angles are plotted against each other, is a frequently used tool to evaluate the quality of a protein 3D structure. For carbohydrate structures, linkage torsions can be evaluated in a similar way. Preferred Phi/Psi values of the torsion angles of glycosidic bonds depend strongly on the types of monosaccharides involved in the linkage, the kind of linkage (1-3, 1-4, etc) as well as the degree of branching of the structure. CARP analyses carbohydrate data given in PDB files using the pdb2linucs algorithm. For each different linkage type a separate plot is generated. The user can choose between two sources for plot background information for comparison: data obtained from PDB provided by GlyTorsion or from GlycoMapsDB. GlycoMapsDB provides calculated conformational maps, which show energetically preferred regions for a specific linkage, while PDB data are based on experimentally solved structures. For seldom occuring linkages, however, PDB data are often rare, so maybe not sufficient background information for comparison will be available from this source., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

http://tools.neb.com/NEBcutter2/

This tool will take a DNA sequence and find the large, non-overlapping open reading frames using the E.coli genetic code and the sites for all Type II and commercially available Type III restriction enzymes that cut the sequence just once. By default, only enzymes available from NEB are used, but other sets may be chosen. Just enter your sequence and submit. Further options will appear with the output. The maximum size of the input file is 1 MByte, and the maximum sequence length is 300 KBases. NEBcutter produces a variety of outputs including restriction enzyme maps, theoretical digests and links into the restriction enzyme database, REBASE (http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/rebase.html). Importantly, its table of recognition sites is updated daily from REBASE and it marks all sites that are potentially affected by DNA methylation (Dam, Dcm, etc.). Many options exist to choose the enzymes used for digestion, including all known specificities, subsets of those that are commercially available or sets of enzymes that produce compatible termini.

T-REX is a free, platform-independent online tool that allows for an integrated, rapid, and more robust analysis of T-RFLP data. Despite increasing popularity and improvements in terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and other microbial community fingerprinting techniques, there are still numerous obstacles that hamper the analysis of these datasets. Many steps are required to process raw data into a format ready for analysis and interpretation. These steps can be time-intensive, error-prone, and can introduce unwanted variability into the analysis. Accordingly, we developed T-REX, free, online software for the processing and analysis of T-RFLP data. Analysis of T-RFLP data generated from a multiple-factorial study was performed with T-REX. With this software, we were able to i) label raw data with attributes related to the experimental design of the samples, ii) determine a baseline threshold for identification of true peaks over noise, iii) align terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) in all samples (i.e., bin T-RFs), iv) construct a two-way data matrix from labeled data and process the matrix in a variety of ways, v) produce several measures of data matrix complexity, including the distribution of variance between main and interaction effects and sample heterogeneity, and vi) analyze a data matrix with the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model.
