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://athina.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-TMR2/

A web server that classifies proteins into two classes from their sequences alone: the membrane protein class and the non-membrane protein class. This may be important in the functional assignment and analysis of open reading frames (ORF''s) identified in complete genomes and, especially, those ORF''s that correspond to proteins with unknown function. The network has a simple hierarchical feed-forward topology and a limited number of neurons which makes it very fast. By using only information contained in 11 protein sequences, the method was able to identify, with 100% accuracy, all membrane proteins with reliable topologies collected from several papers in the literature. Applied to a test set of 995 globular, water-soluble proteins, the neural network classified falsely 23 of them in the membrane protein class (97.7% of correct assignment). The method was also applied to the complete SWISS-PROT database with considerable success and on ORF''s of several complete genomes. The neural network developed was associated with the PRED-TMR algorithm (Pasquier,C., Promponas,V.J., Palaios,G.A., Hamodrakas,J.S. and Hamodrakas,S.J., 1999) in a new application package called PRED-TMR2.

The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation is a non-profit service organization dedicated to providing quality allograft tissue through a commitment to excellence in education, research, recovery and care for recipients, donors and their families. We are a national consortium comprised of academic medical institutions, organ procurement organizations and tissue recovery organizations. MTF was created as a charitable organization with a mission that is dedicated to the needs of donors, donor families, patients and surgeons. We focus on respectful stewardship of the donated gift while advancing the science and practice of bone, ligament, cartilage and skin transplantation. Since our inception in 1987, MTF has recovered more than 60,000 donors and distributed more than 3 million grafts for transplantation. We also support research to expand the science of transplantation, and we encourage the efforts of our members and non-member clients to improve the understanding of donation and transplantation among the medical community and the public at large. Our policies are developed and implemented by MTF''''s Medical Board of Trustees, Donation Board of Trustees and Board of Directors, composed of physicians and recovery agency representatives who are dedicated to the mission of the Foundation. This fundamental commitment enables us to set and maintain the highest levels of safety assurance and quality control in all phases of our operations.

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://athina.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-TMR/

A web server that predicts transmembrane domains in proteins using solely information contained in the sequence itself. The algorithm refines a standard hydrophobicity analysis with a detection of potential termini (edges, starts and ends) of transmembrane regions. This allows both to discard highly hydrophobic regions not delimited by clear start and end configurations and to confirm putative transmembrane segments not distinguishable by their hydrophobic composition. The accuracy obtained on a test set of 101 non homologous transmembranes proteins with reliable topologies compares well with that of other popular existing methods. Only a slight decrease in prediction accuracy was observed when the algorithm was applied to all transmembrane proteins of the SwissProt database (release 35).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 31,2026. Phenomizer offers three different approaches to find the appropriate term for a phenotypic abnormality, indicated by the three tabs on the left hand side: Feature, Disease and Ontology. The Phenomizer is intended to be used by qualified and licensed physicians in order to provide assistance in reaching the correct diagnosis in patients with hereditary diseases and for use as a teaching aid. The Phenomizer does not make diagnoses. Rather, it produces a ranked list of possibilities that can be used by physicians as a part of the diagnostic workup. The Phenomizer does not contain information about all possible diagnoses or even all possible hereditary diseases. The Phenomizer should not be used to make medical decisions without the advice of a physician.

http://bioinf.uab.es/aggrescan/

Web-based tool for identifying hot spots of aggregation in polypeptides. Aggrescan uses an aggregation-propensity scale for natural amino acids derived from in vivo experiments and on the assumption that short and specific sequence stretches modulate protein aggregation. The algorithm is shown to identify a series of protein fragments involved in the aggregation of disease-related proteins and to predict the effect of genetic mutations on their deposition propensities. It also provides new insights into the differential aggregation properties displayed by globular proteins, natively unfolded polypeptides, amyloidogenic proteins and proteins found in bacterial inclusion bodies.

This colony provides a national resource of rhesus monkeys and their tissues to carry out research benefiting the scientific community. The RMBRR maintains a colony of monkeys that have been derived to be specific pathogen free for members of both the herpes and retrovirus families. Over its history, the RMBRR has developed specialized management techniques, housing facilities and highly trained staff to avail these purposefully bred laboratory models, which are 93% genetically identical to humans, to researchers worldwide. Historically, this animal model has been instrumental in research involving blood classification, polio vaccine development, and drug safety and efficacy while currently they are the preferred model for studying the mechanisms of immunodeficiency diseases. Their susceptibility to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus and their homology to the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I, II and TCR genes make them valuable in HIV research. They are currently the models of choice for HIV/AIDS vaccine development and study. Other areas of research include atherosclerosis, myocarditis, alcoholism, diabetes, cancer and aging. The overall objectives of this resource are to improve the resources available at the RMBRR and to conduct resource-relevant research that improves both the health of the rhesus colony and its usefulness for studies of human disease. The Resource and Management Core is responsible for providing animal resources, tissues/biological fluids, cell lines, expert advice and research support to NIH extramural and intramural programs, other federal agencies and to private sponsors. The Resource-Related Research Core conducts research to improve the health of the animals maintained with special emphasis on studies that will enhance the usefulness of the rhesus as a model for studies of human disease.

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.
