iBioSeminars offers: * Free, on-demand lectures: Many universities/colleges have limited access to high profile leaders in biological research. Our goal is to add 15-20 seminars per year, of similar quality to outstanding lectures that are currently in this library. Access, through web streaming or download, is completely free-of-charge. * Targeting a broad audience: iBioSeminars start with an extended introduction, making them accessible to non-specialists and students, and then progress to cover current research. Senior scientists and students can view and enjoy these lectures. * Education: iBioSeminars are being used by undergraduate and graduate teachers to augment their classroom material. We have now added an education component to this web site (including lecture notes, questions/answers and short video clips for teaching). * International communication: iBioSeminars have viewers in 115 countries and they are being internally promoted in several countries as an educational tool and scientific resource. * Goodwill: Lecturers generously donate their time to prepare these lectures. The project, largely funded by HHMI, is a grass roots efforts with time invested by several individuals at UCSF, HHMI and ASCB.

The Open Annotation Collaboration project aims to facilitate the emergence of a Web and Resource-centric interoperable annotation environment that allows leveraging annotations across the boundaries of annotation clients, annotation servers, and content collections. To this end, interoperability specifications will be devised. Additionally, this project will demonstrate through implementations an interoperable annotation environment enabled by the interoperability specifications in settings characterized by a variety of annotation client/server environments, content collections, and scholarly use cases and will seed widespread adoption by deploying robust, production-quality applications conformant with the interoperable annotation environment in ubiquitous and specialized services, tools, and content used by scholars -- e.g.: Zotero, AXE, LORE, Co-Annotea, Pliny; JSTOR, AustLit, MONK. Alpha3 Data Model: The Open Annotation Data Model specifies an approach for associating annotations with resources, using a methodology conformant with the Architecture of the World Wide Web and the Linked Data initiative. It draws on the Annotea model, as well as more recent extensions of that model.

http://bioit.fleming.gr/mrb/

Dynamic and interactive view of 222 world wide available mouse resources, classified in 22 categories. The massive generation of data has led to the propagation of mouse resources and databases and the concomitant need for formalized experimental descriptions, data standardization and database interoperability and integration. In this context and with these goals, information is collected through an online questionnaire and/or manual curation. All mouse resource data in MRB are broken up in four sections and presented in four tabs: * The General section/tab contains information such as URL(s), contact information, database description and categorization and related links. * The Ontologies & Standards tab indicates controlled vocabularies and data representation standards adopted by each resource, such as ontologies and minimum information standards. A hyperlink to an index of OBO and non-OBO ontologies can be found here; an index of minimum information standards can be found here. * The Technical tab holds technical information for each resource such as the server technology used, relational database management system(s) utilized, programming language(s) of implementation, schema descriptive documents or actual database dumps and most importantly information on each resource''s programmatic access, the integration and interoperability services. Additionally and through the integration with Molgenis, MRB is capable of generating a SOAP API for hosted resources. * The final section on Database Description Framework (DDF) Criteria, describes the compliance of each resource to the CASIMIR database criteria, which aim to capture key technical data about a database in a formal framework. All data in MRB are freely available to interested users through downloadable weekly database dumps. Programmatic access to some of MRB''s data is feasible via MRB''s SOAP web service. MRB is the front end of a relational, fully normalized PostgreSQL database. The source code is available under the GNU general public license (GPL) as a binary download and via cvs.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. Database covering a range of plant pathogenic oomycetes, fungi and bacteria primarily those under study at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. The data comes from different sources and has genomes of 3 oomycetes pathogens: Phytophthora sojae, Phytophthora ramorum and Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. The genome sequences (95 MB for P.sojae and 65 MB for P.ramorum) were annotated with approximately 19,000 and approximately 16,000 gene models, respectively. Two different statistical methods were used to validate these gene models, Fickett''''s and a log-likelihood method. Functional annotation of the gene models is based on results from BlastX and InterProScan screens. From the InterProScan results, putative functions to 17,694 genes in P.sojae and 14,700 genes in P.ramorum could be assigned. An easy-to-use genome browser was created to view the genome sequence data, which opens to detailed annotation pages for each gene model. A community annotation interface is available for registered community members to add or edit annotations. There are approximately 1600 gene models for P.sojae and approximately 700 models for P.ramorum that have already been manually curated.
