The goal of our laboratory is to develop new MR technologies to improve the resolution and contrast of MRI and apply them to observe brain anatomy to answer various types of biological questions. Currently we have three major research targets: Characterization of mouse brain development; Human white matter anatomy and development; and Development of diffusion tensor imaging technique and technology dissemination. The DTI database (Under the DTI Download Tab) contains raw and processed DTI data of normal population. Currently we have 2.5 mm isotropic resolution images and 2.2 mm isotropic resolution images. Only 2.5 mm data are available from this site. If you are interested in the high-resolution images, please contact susumu @ mri.jhu.edu. This database is open to public once the user is registered. Basic imaging parameters can be also downloaded.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki

The Gene Wiki is a project that facilitates transferring information on human genes to Wikipedia article stubs with the goal of promoting collaboration and expansion of the articles. Number of gene articles The human genome contains an estimated 20,00025,000 protein-coding genes. The goal of the Gene Wiki project is to create seed articles for every notable human gene, that is, every gene whose function has been assigned in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Approximately half of human genes have assigned function, therefore the total number of articles seeded by the Gene Wiki project would be expected to be in the range of 10,000 - 15,000. To date, approximately 10,271 articles have been created or augmented to include Gene Wiki project content. Expansion Once seed articles have been established, the hope and expectation is that these will be annotated and expanded by editors ranging in experience from the lay audience to students to professionals and academics. Proteins encoded by genes The majority of genes encode proteins hence understanding the function of a gene generally requires understanding of the function of the corresponding protein. In addition to including basic information about the gene, the project therefore also includes information about the protein encoded by the gene. Stubs for the Gene Wiki project are created by a bot and contain links to the following primary gene/protein databases * HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee official gene name * Entrez Gene database * OMIM (Mendelian Inheritance in Man) database that catalogues all the known diseases with a genetic component * Amigo Gene Ontology * HomoloGene gene homologs in other species * SymAtlasRNA gene expression pattern in tissues * Protein Data Bank 3D structure of protein encoded by the gene * Uniprot (universal protein resource) a central repository of protein data

A neuroscience collaboratory that supports open neuroscience, which basically encompasses the unrestricted sharing of: analytic tools, computational resources, data, and knowledge. Its goal is to establish a spirit and forum for open neuroscience, and to facilitate the translation of that ethos into action by conducting successful large open interdisciplinary collaborative efforts such as releasing the preprocessed version of the ADHD-200 competition dataset. The Brain-Art Competition is likewise an effort to bring attention to the more aesthetically-oriented aspects of their field, and to publicize and encourage creative developments taking place at the nexus of art and neuroimaging.

In the early nineties it became evident that HIV infection was spreading widely in India and the national efforts for control of HIV infection needed to be backed by quality research. It was also realized that AIDS, being a multifaceted disease, needed multi-disciplinary research involving virology, immunology, microbiology, clinical research, epidemiology, field based trials and social and behavioral research. An Institute devoted exclusively to HIV/ AIDS that could undertake research of such a diversity and magnitude was established to meet this requirement. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) was established in October 1992 in Bhosari, Pune on a seven acre plot. The Institute has progressively expanded its activities in various aspects of research on HIV and AIDS through infra-structural development, capacity building & research programmes. The activities of NARI are supported by the ICMR & numerous extramural agencies. For the fiscal year 2005-2006 the ICMR allocated 5.66 crores for NARI. Additionally, over 13 crores have been generated through extramural sources. The Institute''s research activities are guided by a Scientific Advisory Committee which includes eminent scientists from varied disciplines. All research projects are reviewed & approved by the Ethics Committee which also ensures that research is conducted with highest ethical standards. Establishment of a Community Advisory Board which acts as an interface between the community and the researchers is a pioneering effort by NARI.

Unless otherwise noted, material presented on the AIDS.gov Web site is considered Federal government information and is in the public domain. That means this information may be freely copied and distributed. We request that you use appropriate attribution to AIDS.gov. AIDS.gov receives planning guidance from a cross agency planning group and uses a logic model (70 KB) and Communications Plan (702 KB) to guide AIDS.gov activities.

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jianghui/seqmap/

A software tool for mapping large amount of oligonucleotide to the genome. It is designed for finding all the places in a genome where an oligonucleotide could potentially come from. SeqMap can efficiently map as many as dozens of millions of short sequences to a genome of several billions of nucleotides. While doing the mapping, several mutations as well as insertions / deletions of the nucleotide bases in the sequences can be tolerated and furthermore detected. Various input and output formats are supported, as well as many command line options for tuning almost every steps in the mapping process. A typical mapping can be done in a few hours on an ordinary PC.

http://www.genome.umd.edu/jellyfish.html

A software tool for fast, memory-efficient counting of k-mers in DNA. A k-mer is a substring of length k, and counting the occurrences of all such substrings is a central step in many analyses of DNA sequence. JELLYFISH can count k-mers quickly by using an efficient encoding of a hash table and by exploiting the compare-and-swap CPU instruction to increase parallelism. Jellyfish is a command-line program that reads FASTA and multi-FASTA files containing DNA sequences. It outputs its k-mer counts in an binary format, which can be translated into a human-readable text format using the jellyfish dump command., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

The OECI is a non-government, non-profit organization founded in Vienna in 1979. The primary objectives of its 68 associated European Cancer Centres are to improve communication and to increase collaborative activities among European cancer institutes. These goals are achieved by promoting and strengthening Comprehensive Cancer Centres in Europe to reduce cancer incidence and mortality, and supporting cancer patients. The OECI leadership has demonstrated its active involvement in the promotion of a European approach to cancer management as a partner with UICC in the series of European Cancer Management Meetings organized with support from the European Union (Antwerp, 2000; Paris 2001). OECI members are leading Cancer Centres throughout Europe, encompassing the full spectrum of Cancer activities and national considerations. In order to facilitate the activities of their members and the definition of common programs of international interest and to facilitate the participation in European projects and programs the GEIE-LINC and the OECI in 2001 decided to set-up 9 specific Working Groups active in the following fields: Guidelines, Registration & Data Evaluation, Cost-Benefit, Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research, Education, Communication, Telematics & Telemedicine, Pathology, New Technologies

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. A software program designed to accurately map sequence data obtained from next-generation sequencing machines (specifically that of Solexa/Illumina) back to a genome of any size. By using the posterior probability of mapping a given read to a specific genomic loation, we are able to account for repetitive reads by distributing them across several regions in the genome. In addition, the output of the program is created in such a way that it can be easily viewed through other free and readily- available programs. Several benchmark data sets were created with spiked-in duplicate regions, and GNUMAP was able to more accurately account for these duplicate regions.
