http://rfmri.org/DPARSF

A MATLAB toolbox forpipeline data analysis of resting-state fMRI that is based on Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and a plug-in software within DPABI. After the user arranges the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data and results for functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. In addition, users can also use DPARSF to extract time courses from regions of interest. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use while DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is much more flexible and powerful. DPARSFA can parallel the computation for each subject, and can be used to reorient images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. Users can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely.

http://www.warwick.ac.uk/snpm

A toolbox for Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) that provides an extensible framework for voxel level non-parametric permutation/randomization tests of functional Neuroimaging experiments with independent observations. SnPM uses the General Linear Model to construct pseudo t-statistic images, which are then assessed for significance using a standard non-parametric multiple comparisons procedure based on randomization/permutation testing. It is most suitable for single subject PET/SPECT analyses, or designs with low degrees of freedom available for variance estimation. In these situations the freedom to use weighted locally pooled variance estimates, or variance smoothing, makes the non-parametric approach considerably more powerful than conventional parametric approaches, as are implemented in SPM. Further, the non-parametric approach is always valid, given only minimal assumptions. The SnPM toolbox provides an alternative to the Statistics section of SPM.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. Project Halo is a staged, long-range research effort by Vulcan Inc. towards the development of a Digital Aristotlea reasoning system capable of answering novel questions and solving advanced problems in a broad range of scientific disciplines and related human affairs. The project focuses on creating two primary functions: a tutor capable of instructing and assessing students in those subjects, and a research assistant with broad, interdisciplinary skills to help scientists and others in their work. Vulcan began work towards this ambitious vision in 2003 with the Halo Pilot a six-month effort to investigate the feasibility of creating a scientific knowledge base capable of answering novel questions from the AP (1st year college level) chemistry test. Three teams SRI International, Cycorp, and Ontoprise developed knowledge bases, for a limited section of an AP-chemistry syllabus, that were able to correctly answer 40 to 50 percent of the associated questions from the AP test. Since 2004, Project Halo has worked to improve these systems, with an emphasis on enabling knowledge entry by domain experts, instead of specialists in artificial intelligence software. In 2004, Vulcan began the development of Automated User-Centered Reasoning and Acquisition System (AURA), by SRI, that enables domain experts (graduate students in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) to enter knowledge from introductory science textbooks. In 2006, an evaluation of AURA showed that students could create AURA knowledge bases that correctly answered 40 percent of the questions on a limited AP exam. In 2008, the next evaluation demonstrated an improvement of that score to 70 percent correct. In parallel, Project Halo has sponsored Ontoprise to develop semantic extensions to MediaWiki, the software that Wikipedia runs on. Ontoprise has developed a set of Semantic MediaWiki (SMW)+ extensions to MediaWiki that provide a community-based environment for authoring ontologies and creating semantically enhanced wikis. SMW+ has been widely used and is being applied in project management, enterprise collaboration and knowledge management, business intelligence, and the management of large terminology sets. In 2007, Vulcan began a new effort, Halo Advanced Research (HalAR), to address the difficult knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) challenges that prevent the realization of Digital Aristotle. This effort has produced a new semantic rule language and reasoning system, Semantic Inferencing on Large Knowledge (SILK), which includes major advances, including for default and higher-order reasoning over the web.

The National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) intends to integrate all databases for life sciences in Japan, by linking each database with expediency to maximize convenience and make the entire system more user-friendly. We aim to focus our attention on the needs of the users of these databases who have all too often been neglected in the past, rather than the needs of the people tasked with the creation of databases. It is important to note that we will continue to honor the independent integrity of each database that will contribute to our endeavor, as we are fully aware that each database was originally crafted for specific purposes and divergent goals. Services: * Database Catalog - A catalog of life science related databases constructed in Japan that are also available in English. Information such as URL, status of the database site (active vs. inactive), database provider, type of data and subjects of the study are contained for each database record. * Life Science Database Cross Search - A service for simultaneous searching across scattered life-science databases, ranging from molecular data to patents and literature. * Life Science Database Archive - maintains and stores the datasets generated by life scientists in Japan in a long-term and stable state as national public goods. The Archive makes it easier for many people to search datasets by metadata in a unified format, and to access and download the datasets with clear terms of use. * Taxonomy Icon - A collection of icons (illustrations) of biological species that is free to use and distribute. There are more than 200 icons of various species including Bacteria, Fungi, Protista, Plantae and Animalia. * GenLibi (Gene Linker to bibliography) - an integrated database of human, mouse and rat genes that includes automatically integrated gene, protein, polymorphism, pathway, phenotype, ortholog/protein sequence information, and manually curated gene function and gene-related or co-occurred Disease/Phenotype and bibliography information. * Allie - A search service for abbreviations and long forms utilized in life sciences. It provides a solution to the issue that many abbreviations are used in the literature, and polysemous or synonymous abbreviations appear frequently, making it difficult to read and understand scientific papers that are not relevant to the reader's expertise. * inMeXes - A search service for English expressions (multiple words) that appear no less than 10 times in PubMed/MEDLINE titles or abstracts. In addition, you can easily access the sentences where the expression was used or other related information by clicking one of the search results. * HOWDY - (Human Organized Whole genome Database) is a database system for retrieving human genome information from 14 public databases by using official symbols and aliases. The information is daily updated by extracting data automatically from the genetic databases and shown with all data having the identifiers in common and linking to one another. * MDeR (the MetaData Element Repository in life sciences) - a web-based tool designed to let you search, compare and view Data Elements. MDeR is based on the ISO/IEC 11179 Part3 (Registry metamodel and basic attributes). * Human Genome Variation Database - A database for accumulating all kinds of human genome variations detected by various experimental techniques. * MEDALS - A portal site that provides information about databases, analysis tools, and the relevant projects, that were conducted with the financial support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

A software infrastructure, course and tool set for teaching bioinformatics, and biology through the use of models. This platform for learning bioinformatics through problem solving aims to make learning bioinformatics fun and easy. Learning bioinformatics usually requires solving computational problems of varying difficulty that are extracted from real challenges of molecular biology. Rosalind offers an array of intellectually stimulating problems that grow in biological and computational complexity; each problem is checked automatically, so that the only resource required to learn bioinformatics is an internet connection. Rosalind also promises to facilitate improvements in standard bioinformatics education by providing a vital teaching aid and a central homework resource. Rosalind is inspired by Project Euler, Google Code Jam, and the ever growing movement of free online courses. The project''s name commemorates Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray crystallography with Raymond Gosling facilitated the discovery of the DNA double helix by Watson and Crick. We hope that Rosalind will inspire a new generation of bioinformatics students by attracting biologists who want to develop vital programming skills at their own pace in a unique environment as well as programmers who have never been exposed to some of the stimulating computational problems generated by molecular biology.
