miniTUBA is a web-based modeling system that allows clinical and biomedical researchers to perform complex medical/clinical inference and prediction using dynamic Bayesian network analysis with temporal datasets. The software allows users to choose different analysis parameters (e.g. Markov lags and prior topology), and continuously update their data and refine their results. miniTUBA can make temporal predictions to suggest interventions based on an automated learning process pipeline using all data provided. Preliminary tests using synthetic data and laboratory research data indicate that miniTUBA accurately identifies regulatory network structures from temporal data. miniTUBA represents in a network view possible influences that occur between time varying variables in your dataset. For these networks of influence, miniTUBA predicts time courses of disease progression or response to therapies. minTUBA offers a probabilistic framework that is suitable for medical inference in datasets that are noisy. It conducts simulations and learning processes for predictive outcomes. The DBN analysis conducted by miniTUBA describes from variables that you specify how multiple measures at different time points in various variables influence each other. The DBN analysis then finds the probability of the model that best fits the data. A DBN analysis runs every combination of all the data; it examines a large space of possible relationships between variables, including linear, non-linear, and multi-state relationships; and it creates chains of causation, suggesting a sequence of events required to produce a particular outcome. Such chains of causation networks - are difficult to extract using other machine learning techniques. DBN then scores the resulting networks and ranks them in terms of how much structured information they contain compared to all possible models of the data. Models that fit well have higher scores. Output of a miniTUBA analysis provides the ten top-scoring networks of interacting influences that may be predictive of both disease progression and the impact of clinical interventions and probability tables for interpreting results. The DBN analysis that miniTUBA provides is especially good for biomedical experiments or clinical studies in which you collect data different time intervals. Applications of miniTUBA to biomedical problems include analyses of biomarkers and clinical datasets and other cases described on the miniTUBA website. To run a DBN with miniTUBA, you can set a number of parameters and constrain results by modifying structural priors (i.e. forcing or forbidding certain connections so that direction of influence reflects actual biological relationships). You can specify how to group variables into bins for analysis (called discretizing) and set the DBN execution time. You can also set and re-set the time lag to use in the analysis between the start of an event and the observation of its effect, and you can select to analyze only particular subsets of variables.

A personalized medicine initiative to discover biomarkers that can better define the biological basis of multiple myeloma to help stratify patients. This effort hopes to obtain samples from approximately 1,000 multiple myeloma patients and follow them over time to identify how a patient's genetic profile is related to clinical progression and treatment response. As a partnership between 17 academic centers, 5 pharmaceuticals and the Department of Veterans Affairs, the goal of this eight year study is to create a database that can accelerate future clinical trials and personalized treatment strategies. MMRF's CoMMpass Study has the following goals: * Create a guide to which treatments work best for specific patient subgroups. * Share data with researchers to accelerate drug development for specific subtypes of multiple myeloma patients. In order to facilitate discoveries and development related to targeted therapies, the comprehensive data from CoMMpass is placed in an open-access research portal. The data will be part of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation's (MMRF) Personalized Medicine Platform combines CoMMpass data with those collected from MMRF's Genomics Initiative. It is hoped that the longitudinal data, combined with the annotated bio-specimens will help provide insights that can accelerate personalized therapies.

The Cancer Text Information Extraction System (caTIES) provides tools for de-identification and automated coding of free-text structured pathology reports. It also has a client that can be used to search these coded reports. The client also supports Tissue Banking and Honest Broker operations. caTIES focuses on two important challenges of bioinformatics * Information extraction (IE) from free text * Access to tissue. Regarding the first challenge, information from free-text pathology documents represents a vital and often underutilized source of data for cancer researchers. Typically, extracting useful data from these documents is a slow and laborious manual process requiring significant domain expertise. Application of automated methods for IE provides a method for radically increasing the speed and scope with which this data can be accessed. Regarding the second challenge, there is a pressing need in the cancer research community to gain access to tissue specific to certain experimental criteria. Presently, there are vast quantities of frozen tissue and paraffin embedded tissue throughout the country, due to lack of annotation or lack of access to annotation these tissues are often unavailable to individual researchers. caTIES has three goals designed to solve these problems: * Extract coded information from free text Surgical Pathology Reports (SPRs), using controlled terminologies to populate caBIG-compliant data structures. * Provide researchers with the ability to query, browse and create orders for annotated tissue data and physical material across a network of federated sources. With caTIES the SPR acts as a locator to tissue resources. * Pioneer research for distributed text information extraction within the context of caBIG. caTIES focuses on IE from SPRs because they represent a high-dividend target for automated analysis. There are millions of SPRs in each major hospital system, and SPRs contain important information for researchers. SPRs act as tissue locators by indicating the presence of tissue blocks, frozen tissue and other resources, and by identifying the relationship of the tissue block to significant landmarks such as tumor margins. At present, nearly all important data within SPRs are embedded within loosely-structured free-text. For these reasons, SPRs were chosen to be coded through caTIES because facilitating access to information contained in SPRs will have a powerful impact on cancer research. Once SPR information has been run through the caTIES Pipeline, the data may be queried and inspected by the researcher. The goal of this search may be to extract and analyze data or to acquire slides of tissue for further study. caTIES provides two query interfaces, a simple query dashboard and an advanced diagram query builder. Both of these interfaces are capable of NCI Metathesaurus, concept-based searching as well as string searching. Additionally, the diagram interface is capable of advanced searching functionalities. An important aspect of the interface is the ability to manage queries and case sets. Users are able to vet query results and save them to case sets which can then be edited at a later time. These can be submitted as tissue orders or used to derive data extracts. Queries can also be saved, and modified at a later time. caTIES provides the following web services by default: MMTx Service, TIES Coder Service

Wikikidney.org is an effort to prevent kidney diseases and achieve better outcomes in those who have end stage renal disease. Our mission is to use this medium to make the public more aware of kidney disease in a sincere effort to prevent it when we can, and to help our colleagues achieve good outcomes in those who already have end stage renal disease. Our role is to provide as much information as possible to patients, professionals and the general public, with the hopes that this education will be a motivating factor in making the necessary changes to prevent or stall chronic kidney disease. After nearly two decades of seeing patients with end stage renal disease, it is apparent that much of what we deal with can be delayed or prevented altogether. Several medical trials and innovations in the last several years have confirmed these observations, and form the basis of this website. A major element in preventing renal illness is simply early detection, and for this one needs education. As the Internet expands and becomes more and more a tool of everyday life, we will have the ability to access and distribute information like no other generation before us. Qualified readers are encouraged to contribute to existing articles and to create articles of their own.

Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts
