THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented Jan 13, 2022; To enhance the understanding of the evolution of the Kingdom Fungi, 1500+ species were sampled for eight gene loci across all major fungal clades, plus a subset of taxa for a suite of morphological and ultrastructural characters with resulting data: AFTOL Molecular Database (generated by WASABI - Web Accessible Sequence Analysis for Biological Inference), Blast search the AFTOL Database (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers (generated by WASABI), AFTOL primers by species (generated by WASABI), AFTOL alignments, and the AFTOL Structural and Biochemical Database. Users may submit samples to the AFTOL project. AFTOL is a collaboration centered around four universities in the United States: Duke University (Francois Lutzoni and Rytas Vilgalys), Clark University (David Hibbett), Oregon State University (Joey Spatafora), and University of Minnesota (David McLaughlin). Participants throughout the world have donated vouchers, taxon samples, and gene sequences. The aim of the project is to reconstruct the fungal tree of life using all available data for eight loci (nuclear ribosomal DNA: LSU, SSU, ITS (including 5.8s, ITS1 and ITS2); RNA polymerase II: RPB1, RPB2; elongation factor 1-alpha; mitochondrial SSU rDNA, and mitochondrial ATP synthase protein subunit 6). A further objective of this study is to summarize and integrate current knowledge regarding fungal subcellular features within this new phylogenetic framework. The name of the bioinformatic package developed for AFTOL is WASABI which provides an efficient communication platform to facilitate the collection and dissemination of molecular data to (and from) the laboratories and participants. All molecular data can be viewed, downloaded, verified, and corrected by the participants of AFTOL. A central goal of the WASABI interface is to establish an automated analysis framework that includes basecalling of newly generated chromatograms, contig assembly, quality verification of sequences (including a local BLAST), sequence alignment, and congruence test. Gene sequences that pass all tests and are finally verified by their authors will undergo automated phylogenetic analysis on a regular schedule. Although all steps are initially carried out noninteractively, the users can verify and correct the results at any step and thus initiate the reanalysis of dependent data.

Recently, our team completed an NINDS-funded, Phase IIa double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial that examined the pharmacokinetics, safety, and activity of progesterone, a steroid found to have powerful neuroprotective effects in multiple animal models of brain injury. Our pilot study demonstrated a 50% reduction in death among severe TBI patients and less disability among moderate TBI patients treated with progesterone. Based on these promising results and supportive preclinical data, we are conducting a large, phase III clinical trial (ProTECT III) to definitively assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment for adults with moderate to severe acute TBI. The study is slated to begin August 2008. WHY Progesterone: Although progresterone is widely considered a sex steroid, it is also a potent neurosteroid. Progesterone is naturally synthesized in the CNS. A large and growing body of animal studies indicate that early administration of progesterone after TBI reduces cerebral edema, neuronal loss, and behavioral deficits in laboratory animals. Certain properties of progesterone make it an ideal therapeutic candidate. First, in contrast to most drugs tested to date, progesterone rapidly enters the brain and reaches equilibrium with the plasma within an hour of administration. Second, unlike other experimental agents, progesterone has a long history of safe use in humans. Finally, the findings of our pilot clinical trial (presented in the Preliminary Data Section, below) indicate that progesterone has consistent and predictable pharmacokinetic properties, is unlikely to produce harm, and may be efficacious for treating acute TBI in humans.

http://www.proteopedia.org/

Free, collaborative 3D, interactive encyclopedia of proteins and other molecules, it collects, organizes and disseminates structural and functional knowledge about protein, RNA, DNA, and other macromolecules, and their assemblies and interactions with small molecules, in a manner that is relevant and broadly accessible to students and scientists. With a free user account, users can edit pages in Proteopedia. Click on the green links to change the 3D image or click and drag the molecules. Categories include Diseases & Related Topics, Enzymes, Gene Expression & Replication, Metabolism, Signaling & Transport, Structural Biology and Miscellaneous. Currently, Proteopedia has 93,912 articles (pages), and 2,366 registered users (May 2013). Among other pages, Proteopedia contains one page (or article) for every entry in the World Wide Protein Data Bank. Proteopedia is updated weekly with new entries shortly after they are released by the Protein Data Bank. Most of these pages, which are titled with a four-character PDB identification code, are seeded automatically to include a default view of the asymmetric unit, the abstract of the publication, green links to sites and ligands, and molecule-specific links to other viewers and databases. When you go to a random page, you nearly always get one of these automatically-seeded, PDB-code-titled pages (click Random Page in the navigation box at the upper left), because of their abundance. In addition to one article about each entry in the Protein Data Bank (PDB identification code-titled articles), there are articles titled with the name of a molecule or a subject, instead of a PDB identification code. Some of these articles that have substantial content are listed at Topic Pages, or you can browse a complete list of articles not titled with a PDB identification code. There are also articles About Macromolecular Structure.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. Java-based software that blasts each sequence that you provide it, and then looks for a consensus taxon among the top-hits returned from blast. MARTA uses NCBI''s megablast program to align your sequence(s) against a local installation of blast. Then MARTA uses GenInfo Identifiers from the top-hits to retrieve taxonomic information from NCBI''s taxonomy database. Using your thresholds/cutoffs, MARTA ''votes'' to find a taxonomic assignment by consensus; MARTA might resolve some sequences to species level, and others to kingdom or to no level, depending on the taxonomic information held within your tag or sequence.
