OpenSim is an open-source software system that lets users develop models of musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of movement. The software provides a platform on which the biomechanics community can build a library of simulations that can be exchanged, tested, analyzed, and improved through multi-institutional collaboration. The underlying software is written in ANSI C++, and the graphical user interface (GUI) is written in Java. OpenSim technology makes it possible to develop customized controllers, analyses, contact models, and muscle models among other things. These plugins can be shared without the need to alter or compile source code. Users can analyze existing models and simulations and develop new models and simulations from within the GUI.

http://cmr.jcvi.org/tigr-scripts/CMR/CmrHomePage.cgi

Database of all of the publicly available, complete prokaryotic genomes. In addition to having all of the organisms on a single website, common data types across all genomes in the CMR make searches more meaningful, and cross genome analysis highlight differences and similarities between the genomes. CMR offers a wide variety of tools and resources, all of which are available off of our menu bar at the top of each page. Below is an explanation and link for each of these menu options. * Genome Tools: Find organism lists as well as summary information and analyses for selected genomes. * Searches: Search CMR for genes, genomes, sequence regions, and evidence. * Comparative Tools: Compare multiple genomes based on a variety of criteria, including sequence homology and gene attributes. SNP data is also found under this menu. * Lists: Select and download gene, evidence, and genomic element lists. * Downloads: Download gene sequences or attributes for CMR organisms, or go to our FTP site. * Carts: Select genome preferences from our Genome Cart or download your Gene Cart genes. The Omniome is the relational database underlying the CMR and it holds all of the annotation for each of the CMR genomes, including DNA sequences, proteins, RNA genes and many other types of features. Associated with each of these DNA features in the Omniome are the feature coordinates, nucleotide and protein sequences (where appropriate), and the DNA molecule and organism with which the feature is associated. Also available are evidence types associated with annotation such as HMMs, BLAST, InterPro, COG, and Prosite, as well as individual gene attributes. In addition, the database stores identifiers from other centers such as GenBank and SwissProt, as well as manually curated information on each genome or each DNA molecule including website links. Also stored in the Omniome are precomputed homology data, called All vs All searches, used throughout the CMR for comparative analysis.

Freely accessible phenotype-centered database with integrated analysis and visualization tools. It combines diverse data sets from multiple species and experiment types, and allows data sharing across collaborative groups or to public users. It was conceived of as a tool for the integration of biological functions based on the molecular processes that subserved them. From these data, an empirically derived ontology may one day be inferred. Users have found the system valuable for a wide range of applications in the arena of functional genomic data integration.

http://vortex.cs.wayne.edu/projects.htm#Onto-Compare

Microarrays are at the center of a revolution in biotechnology, allowing researchers to screen tens of thousands of genes simultaneously. Typically, they have been used in exploratory research to help formulate hypotheses. In most cases, this phase is followed by a more focused, hypothesis driven stage in which certain specific biological processes and pathways are thought to be involved. Since a single biological process can still involve hundreds of genes, microarrays are still the preferred approach as proven by the availability of focused arrays from several manufacturers. Since focused arrays from different manufacturers use different sets of genes, each array will represent any given regulatory pathway to a different extent. We argue that a functional analysis of the arrays available should be the most important criterion used in the array selection. We developed Onto-Compare as a database that can provide this functionality, based on the GO nomenclature. Compare commercially available microarrays based on GO. User account required.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on January 14, 2023. Infrastructure for sharing data, tools and services, this virtual research environment (VRE) supports e-Neuroscience and is designed to provide services for data and processing of that data. While the system is initially focused on electrophysiology data (neural activity recordings are the primary data types), it is equally applicable to many domains outside neuroscience. The Portal Provides: * User login and customization. * Data upload/download. * Data handling including custom permissions for public, shared or private data. * The ability to invoke custom public, shared or private services that consume and produce data. For example, it would allow spike series to be run through a sorter, producing new data representing the sorted spikes. * The ability to host services written in a number of languages including, but not limited to Matlab, R, Python, Perl, Java. * A system to support metadata for data objects, which provides extensive support for entering metadata at the point of upload, and allows the generation of metadata from services to provide provenance information. * The ability to invoke additional visualization for the data, for example, via the Signal Data Explorer. A core part is the development of: (i) minimum reporting guidelines for annotation of data and other computational resources for the purpose of sharing, and; (ii) intermediate formats and APIs for translation between proprietary and bespoke data types. These recommendations are being implemented and the global community is encouraged both to engage in their specification and make use of them for their own data sharing systems. * MINI: Minimum Information about a Neuroscience Investigation - This framework represents the formalized opinion of the CARMEN consortium and its associates, and identifies the minimum reporting information required to support the use of electrophysiology in a neuroscience study, for submission to the CARMEN system. * NDTF: Neurophysiology Data Translation Format - This framework provides a vendor-independent mechanism for translating between raw and processed neurphysiology data in the form of time and image series. They are implementing NDTF in CARMEN but it may also be useful for third party applications.

Brain Canada is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, Brain Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada''s world-class scientists and researchers. Brain Canada was created to address the twin challenges of increasing the scale of brain research funding in Canada and widening its scope to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to produce insights for treating multiple disorders. Brain Canada is built on the successes and model of NeuroScience Canada (NSC). Established in 1999, NSC raised more than $11.5 million, leveraged over $20 million with partnered funding, and funded 100 individual and teams of researchers in Canada. Brain Canada is the new vision for Canadian brain researchthe voice for the brain and the grouping of brain disorders, raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society. But most important, through the research we are funding, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.
