https://gene.sfari.org/database/human-gene/

Curated public database for autism research built on information extracted from the studies on molecular genetics and biology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The genetic information includes data from linkage and association studies, cytogenetic abnormalities, and specific mutations associated with ASD. New gene submissions are welcome. Modules: * Human Gene: thoroughly annotated list of genes that have been studied in the context of autism, with information on the genes themselves, relevant references from the literature, and the nature of the evidence. Uniquely, SFARI Gene incorporates information on both common and rare variants. * Animal Model: information about lines of genetically modified mice that represent potential models of autism. This information includes the nature of the targeting construct, the background strain and, most importantly, a thorough summary of the phenotypic features of the mice that are most relevant to autism. * Protein Interaction (PIN): compilation of all known direct protein interactions for those gene products implicated in autism. It presents both graphical and tabular views of interactomes, highlighting connections between autism candidate genes. Each protein interaction is manually verified by consultation with the primary reference. * Copy Number Variant (CNV): a parallel resource providing genetic information about all known copy number variants linked to autism. * Gene Scoring: includes a "score" for each autism candidate gene, based on an assessment of the strength of human genetic evidence.

http://www.public.asu.edu/~jye02/Software/SLEP/

Software package that provides functions for solving a family of sparse learning algorithms. The functions implemented enjoy the convergence rate of O(1/k^2), although the objective function is non-smooth. Main features: * First-Order Method. At each iteration, they only need to evaluate the function value and the gradient; and thus the algorithms can handle large-scale sparse data. * Optimal Convergence Rate. The convergence rate O(1/k^2) is optimal for smooth convex optimization via the first-order black-box methods. * Efficient Projection. The projection problem (proximal operator) can be solved efficiently. * Pathwise Solutions. The SLEP package provides functions that efficiently compute the pathwise solutions corresponding to a series of regularization parameters by the warm-start technique.

http://qnl.bu.edu/obart

Tool that provides an interactive method to examine quantitative relationships between brain regions defined by different digital atlases or parcellation methods. Its current focus is for human brain imaging, though the techniques generalize to other domains. The method offers a quantitative answer to the nomenclature problem in neuroscience by comparing brain parts on the basis of their geometrical definitions rather than on the basis of name alone. Thus far these tools have been used to quantitatively compare eight distinct parcellations of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) single-subject template brain, each created using existing atlasing methods. This resources provides measures of global and regional similarity, and offers visualization techniques that allow users to quickly identify the correspondences (or lack of correspondences) between regions defined by different atlases.

http://www.plantgdb.org/AtGDB/

Database providing a sequence-centered genome view for Arabidopsis thaliana, with a narrow focus on gene structure annotation. The current genome assembly displayed at AtGDB is version TAIR9. Annotated gene models are TAIR10. They have mapped the complete set of 176,915 publicly available Arabidopsis EST sequences onto the Arabidopsis genome using GeneSeqer, a spliced alignment program incorporating sequence similarity and splice site scoring. About 96% of the available ESTs could be properly aligned with a genomic locus, with the remaining ESTs deriving from organelle genomes and non-Arabidopsis sources or displaying insufficient sequence quality for alignment. The mapping provides verified sets of EST clusters for evaluation of EST clustering programs. Analysis of the spliced alignments suggests corrections to current gene structure annotation and provides examples of alternative and non-canonical pre-mRNA splicing.

http://videocast.nih.gov/

VideoCasting of special NIH events, seminars, conferences, meetings and lectures available to viewers on the NIH network and the Internet from the VideoCast web site. VideoCasting is the method of electronically streaming digitally encoded video and audio data from a server to a client. VideoCast is often referred to as streaming video. Streaming files are not downloaded, but rather are broadcast in a manner similar to television broadcasts. The videos are processed by a compression program into a streaming format and delivered in a staggered fashion to minimize impact upon the network and maximize the experience of the content for the viewer. When users request a streaming file they will receive an initial burst of data after a short delay (file latency). While content is being viewed, the streaming server machine and software continues to stream data in such a manner that the viewer experiences no break in the content. CIT can broadcast your seminar, conference or meeting live to a world-wide audience over the Internet as a real-time streaming video. The event can be recorded and made available for viewers to watch at their convenience as an on-demand video or a downloadable podcast. CIT can also broadcast NIH-only or HHS-only content.

https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/715/nih-stroke-scale-score-nihss

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a systematic assessment tool that provides a quantitative measure of stroke-related neurological deficit. The NIHSS was originally designed as a research tool to measure baseline data on patients in acute stroke clinical trials. Now, the scale is also widely used as a clinical assessment tool to evaluate acuity of stroke patients, determine appropriate treatment, and predict patient outcome. The NIHSS can be used as a clinical stroke assessment tool to evaluate and document neurological status in acute stroke patients. The stroke scale is valid for predicting lesion size and can serve as a measure of stroke severity. The NIHSS has been shown to be a predictor of both short and long term outcome of stroke patients. Additionally, the stroke scale serves as a data collection tool for planning patient care and provides a common language for information exchanges among healthcare providers. Performing the scale takes between 5-8 minutes. Emergency physicians and nurses, neurologists, neuroscience nurses and other stroke team members are typical examples of who should be certified to perform the NIHSS. The NINDS/NIH training and testing DVD can be obtained from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Sponsors: NIHSS is supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/COMPASS.html

Software for combinatorial polyfunctionality analysis of single cells. It is a statistical framework that enables unbiased analysis of antigen-specific T-cell subsets. It uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework to model all observed cell-subsets and select the most likely to be antigen-specific while regularizing the small cell counts that often arise in multi-parameter space. The model provides a posterior probability of specificity for each cell subset and each sample, which can be used to profile a subject's immune response to external stimuli such as infection or vaccination.
