Software application where GC implements the genomic control models. GCF implements the basic Genomic Control approach, but adjusts the p-values for uncertainty in the estimated effect of substructure. This approach is preferable if a large number of tests will be evaluated because it provides a more accurrate assessment of the significance level for small p-values.

Software to help researchers process scientific papers faster and get the information they are interested in out of them. This is achieved by automating the recognition of core scientific concepts such as Motivation, Method, Result, Conclusion in papers and uses them to generate automatic summaries. This SAPIENTA tool adds additional functionality to the SAPIENT tool, an annotation tool implemented as a web application which enables experts to annotate scientific papers, sentence by sentence manually, according to the Core Scientific Concept (CSC) schema.

http://gostat.wehi.edu.au

GOstat is a tool that allows you to find statistically overrepresented Gene Ontologies within a group of genes. The Gene-Ontology database (GO: http://www.geneontology.org) provides a useful tool to annotate and analyze the function of large numbers of genes. Modern experimental techniques, as e.g. DNA microarrays, often result in long lists of genes. To learn about the biology in this kind of data it is desirable to find functional annotation or Gene-Ontology groups which are highly represented in the data. This program (GOstat) should help in the analysis of such lists and will provide statistics about the GO terms contained in the data and sort the GO annotations giving the most representative GO terms first. Run GOstat: * Go to search form - Computes GO statistics of a list of genes selected from a microarray. * GOstat Display - You can store results from a previously run and view them here, either by uploading them as a file or putting them on a selected URL. * Upload Custom GO Annotations - This allows you to upload your own GO annotation database and use it with GOstat. Variants of GOstat: * Rank GOstat - Takes input from all genes on microarray instead of using a fixed cutoff and uses ranks using a Wilcoxon test or either ranks or pvalues to score GOs using Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics. * Gene Abundance GOstats - Takes input from all genes on microarray and sums up the gene abundances for each GO to compute statistics. * Two list GOstat - Compares GO statistics in two independent lists of genes, not necessarily one of them being the complete list the other list is sampled from.

Laser tool that enables neurons to be optically silenced by pulses of yellow light, the light-activated chloride pump halorhodopsin (Halo), in a paper entitled Multiple-color optical activation, silencing, and desynchronization of neural activity, with single-spike temporal resolution. Temporally precise, noninvasive control of activity in well-defined neuronal populations is a long-sought goal of systems neuroscience. We adapted for this purpose the naturally occurring algal protein Channelrhodopsin-2, a rapidly gated light-sensitive cation channel, by using lentiviral gene delivery in combination with high-speed optical switching to photostimulate mammalian neurons. We demonstrate reliable, millisecond-timescale control of neuronal spiking, as well as control of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission. This technology allows the use of light to alter neural processing at the level of single spikes and synaptic events, yielding a widely applicable tool for neuroscientists and biomedical engineers. The quest to determine how precise neural activity patterns mediate computation, behavior, and pathology would be greatly aided by a set of tools for reliably activating and inactivating genetically targeted neurons, in a temporally precise and rapidly reversible fashion. Having earlier adapted a light-activated cation channel, 1channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), for allowing neurons to be stimulated by blue light, we searched for a complementary tool that would enable optical neuronal inhibition, driven by light of a second color. Here we report that targeting the 1codon-optimized form of the light-driven chloride pump halorhodopsin from the archaebacterium Natronomas pharaonis (hereafter abbreviated Halo) to genetically-specified neurons enables them to be silenced reliably, and reversibly, by millisecond-timescale pulses of yellow light. We show that trains of yellow and blue light pulses can drive high-fidelity sequences of hyperpolarizations and depolarizations in neurons simultaneously expressing yellow light-driven Halo and blue light-driven ChR2, allowing for the first time manipulations of neural synchrony without perturbation of other parameters such as spiking rates. The Halo/ChR2 system thus constitutes a powerful toolbox for multichannel photoinhibition and photostimulation of virally or transgenically targeted neural circuits without need for exogenous chemicals, enabling systematic analysis and engineering of the brain, and quantitative bioengineering of excitable cells.

http://www.nactem.ac.uk/medie/

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.

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.

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.
