http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/

Founded in 1976, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to serving all people with dystonia and their families. Since its inception, the DMRF has grown from a small family-based foundation into a dynamic membership-driven organization led by a Board of Directors and network of volunteers with personal connections to dystonia. Because dystonia hits so close to home for our directors and volunteers, the DMRF leadership is motivated by an unrelenting drive to find a cure and an unwavering commitment to serving people affected by dystonia. Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) prides itself on a long history of supporting dystonia research. Always the primary goal of the DMRF, research has led to a better understanding of dystonia as well as to breakthroughs in genetics and therapeutics.The funding which researchers obtain from the DMRF usually serves as seed money before generating even greater funding from the National Institutes of Health.Beyond the funding of research, the scientific program of the DMRF is multi-faceted, encompassing workshops, a residency elective program, and international medical symposiums, all to further the understanding of dystonia.

http://bioinfo.nist.gov/hmpd/

Database of mitochondrial and human nuclear encoded proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and function. This database consolidates information from SwissProt, LocusLink, Protein Data Bank (PDB), GenBank, Genome Database (GDB), Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Human Mitochondrial Genome Database (mtDB), MITOMAP, Neuromuscular Disease Center and Human 2-D PAGE Databases. The mitochondrion plays a central role in cellular metabolism, and evidence of mitochondrial involvement in a number of different human diseases is increasing. This database is intended as a tool not only to aid in studying the mitochondrion but in studying the associated diseases. Mitochondrial DNA Sequence: A graphical tool was developed to visualize the human mitochondrial DNA sequences that highlight coding regions for RNAs and proteins. Disease susceptible mutations are also noted in the sequence. Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism: Human mitochondrial sequences of different ethnic groups were obtained from the Human Mitochondrial Genome Database. A DNA sequence analysis tool was developed to compare polymorphisms of different human mitochondrial DNA sequences. This tool allows the user to select mitochondrial sequences from any two human populations and compare them for sequences variations. Mitochondrial proteins related diseases: Malfunction of mitochondrial proteins affect many cells from brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and the endocrine and the respiratory systems which lead to many diseases. Relevant information for mitochondrial related diseases from OMIM, the Neuromuscular Disease Center and MITOMAP are gathered, and mitochondrion-associated diseases are grouped, categorized, and linked to OMIM. 3-D Structures of Mitochondrial proteins: The available 3D structures for mitochondrial proteins are presented through a custom-made interface. A concise HTML page is generated for reporting the structural details and the associated information obtained from relevant web sites (PDBREPORT, Interatomic Contacts of Structural Units (CSU), PROCHECK, Ligand Protein Contacts (LPC), PROMOTIF and CastP). References are linked to the PubMed site. The 3-D structures are presented through the use of a Kinemage.

https://code.google.com/p/mpprimer/

A software program for reliable multiplex PCR primer design. It employs the widely used primer design program Primer3 and the primer specificity evaluation program MFEprimer to design and evaluate the candidate primers based on genomic or transcript DNA database, followed by careful examination to avoid primer dimerization. The graph-expanding algorithm derived from the greedy algorithm was used to determine the optimal primer set combinations (PSCs) for multiplex PCR. In addition, it provides a virtual electrophotogram to help users choose the best PSC. It is a valuable tool for designing specific, no dimer formation and amplicons size constrained PSCs to improve the multiplex PCR experiments.
