The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is an independent private foundation dedicated to advancing the biomedical sciences by supporting research and other scientific and educational activities. Within this broad mission, BWF has two primary goals: * To help scientists early in their careers develop as independent investigators * To advance fields in the basic biomedical sciences that are undervalued or in need of particular encouragement BWF''s financial support is channeled primarily through competitive peer-reviewed award programs. * BWF''s endowment: $586.8 million at the end of FY 2009 * BWF approved $26.4 million in grants during FY 2009 BWF makes grants primarily to degree-granting institutions on behalf of individual researchers, who must be nominated by their institutions. To complement these competitive award programs, BWF also makes grants to nonprofit organizations conducting activities intended to improve the general environment for science. A Board of Directors comprising distinguished scientists and business leaders governs BWF. BWF was founded in 1955 as the corporate foundation of the pharmaceutical firm Burroughs Wellcome Co. In 1993, a generous gift from the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom, enabled BWF to become fully independent from the company, which was acquired by Glaxo in 1995. BWF has no affiliation with any corporation.

A software tool designed to aid researchers in browsing through scientific literature. As one reads an online article and encounters a citation that looks important, CSIBS creates a preview summary of the cited document. The key innovation is the contextual tailoring of the automatically generated summaries using the citation and its surrounding text. As this context changes, so too does the citation-specific summary portion of the preview, which contains contextually-relevant sentences extracted from the cited document. The CSIBS preview presents relevant information required to appraise the citation, containing meta-data about the reference, the abstract and the citation-specific summary. Thus, CSIBS, alleviates information overload by enabling the reader to determine whether or not to invest time in exploring the cited article further.

GlycoPeptideSearch (GPS) simplifies data interpretation of N-glycopeptide CID MS/MS datasets by searching for glycopeptide results consistent with MS/MS spectra. Results are tabulated in Excel format. Accelerate and simplify interpretation of N-glycopeptide CID MS/MS spectra using GlycoPeptideSearch (GPS). This tool is designed for tandem mass-spectra acquired from proteolytic digests of purified glycoproteins modified with N-glycans and analyzed by LC-MS/MS and CID. The search yields an Excel spreadsheet of N-glycopeptide matches consistent with the spectra. GPS requires two files as input - an mzXML (or other open spectral format) file of glycopeptide CID tandem mass-spectra and a text file (.txt) of peptide sequences containing the N-linked glycosylation motif NXS/T. Spectral datafiles must be converted from raw vendor formats, such as .RAW or .wiff, to an open peak list format (mzXML preferred). In addition to these two input files, the user must specify one or more glycan databases (provided in the software package). The database(s) selected by the user will be used to match glycan structures in the glycopeptide spectra. The output is an Excel spreadsheet with one or more rows for spectra within the dataset that contain evidence of glycoprotein fragmentation, paired with one or more proposed glycopeptide matches for each spectrum. Glycopeptide matches consist of a peptide-glycan pair, with the peptide drawn from the user-supplied peptide file, and the glycan selected from a glycan database(s). The human subset of the GlycomeDB glycan database is provided, and N-linked glycans are automatically selected from it. GPS interprets glycopeptide CID MS/MS spectra by first requiring MS/MS spectra contain evidence of glycopeptide fragmentation - the oxonium ion peaks (m/z 204 - Hex, m/z 366 - HexNAc), and N-glycopeptide core specific peaks (peptide, peptide + HexNAc, peptide + HexNAc-HexNAc, peptide + HexNAc-HexNAc-Hex). For spectra that meet these initial criteria, for a particular peptide, a mass-based search of one or more glycan databases looks for glycans which capture the remaining mass of the spectral precursor. Additional spectral information may be used to narrow the number of matches, and equivalent glycan topologies may be collapsed to a single peptide-glycan pair. GPS also provides N-glycan compositions with the necessary additional mass, even if no glycan with the composition is present in the glycan database(s). GPS can either be run from the command-line or by using its graphical user interface. We recommend the msconvert (or MSConvertGUI) software from the ProteoWizard project to convert spectral datafiles from vendor formats such as .wiff and .RAW into mzXML.

Software that utilizes a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm for genetic mapping. It is based on a the ECJ evolutionary software package written by Sean Luke and includes the Strength Pareto Evoluationary Algorithm Version 2 changes for multiobjective analysis. The code runs on any platform with Java Version 2. A genetic mapping project, typically implemented during a search for genes responsible for a disease, requires the acquisition of a set of data from each of a large number of individuals. This data set includes the values of multiple genetic markers. These genetic markers occur at discrete positions along the genome, which is a collection of one or more linear chromosomes. Typing the value of a marker in an individual carries a cost; one seeks to minimize the number of markers typed without excessively jeopardizing the probability of detecting an association between a marker and a disease phenotype. MAGMA is a project which employ''s a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm to solve this problem.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. Gene Ontology Explorer (GOEx) combines data from protein fold changes with GO over-representation statistics to help draw conclusions in proteomic experiments. It is tightly integrated within the PatternLab for Proteomics project and, thus, lies within a complete computational environment that provides parsers and pattern recognition tools designed for spectral counting. GOEx offers three independent methods to query data: an interactive directed acyclic graph, a specialist mode where key words can be searched, and an automatic search. A recent hack included in GOEx is to load the sparse matrix index file directly into GOEx, instead of going through the report generation using the AC/T-fold methods. This makes it easy for GOEx to analyze any list of proteins as long as the list follows the index file format (described in manuscript) . Please note that if using this alternative strategy, there will be no protein fold information. Platform: Windows compatible

Biomedical Logical Programming (Blip) is a research-oriented deductive database and prolog application library for handling biological and biomedical data. It includes packages for advanced querying of ontologies and annotations. Blip underpins the Obol tool. Here are some distinguishing characteristics of Blip * Lightweight. Bloat-free: Blip only has as many modules as it needs to do its job. * Fast. * Declarative. Say what you want to do, not how you want to do it * Blip can be Query-oriented: specify your data sources and ask your query * Blip can be Application-oriented: it is designed to be used as an application library used by other bioinformatics tools * Mature and fully functional ontology module for handling both OBO-style ontologies and OWL ontologies. * Modules for handling biological sequences and sequence features. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * A systems biology module for querying pathway and interaction data. (currently limited functionality, added as needed) * Relational database integration. SQL can be viewed as a highly restricted dialect of Prolog. Although the SWI-Prolog in-memory database is fast and scalable, sometimes it is nice to be able to fetch data from an external database. Blip contains a generic SQL utility module and predicate mappings for the GO database, Ensembl and Chado * Integration with a variety of bioinformatics file formats. SWI-Prolog has a variety of fast libraries for dealing with XML, RDF and tabular data files. Blip provides bridges from bio file formats encoded using these syntaxes into its native models. For other syntaxes, Blip seamlessly integrates other packages such as BioPerl and go-perl. Although these dependencies require extra installation, there is no point reinventing the wheel * Rapid development of web applications. Blip extends SWI-Prolog''''s excellent http support with a simple and powerful logical-functional-programming style application server, serval. This has been used to prototype a fully-featured next-generation replacement for the GO project amigo browser. * Scalable. Blip is not intended to be a toy system on toy data (although it is happy to be used as a toy if you like!). It is intended to be used as an application component and a tool operating on real-world biological and biomedical data Blip is written in SWI-Prolog, a fast, robust and scalable implementation of ISO Prolog. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
