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

A multicenter randomized clinical trial that aims to determine the best therapies for people with type 2 diabetes and moderately severe cardiovascular disease. 2368 participants were randomized at 49 sites in 6 countries. All subjects were given intensive medical therapy to control cholesterol and blood pressure and given counseling, if needed, to quit smoking and to lose weight. Beyond that, they compared whether prompt revascularization, either bypass surgery or angioplasty, e.g. stents, was more effective than medical therapy alone. At the same time, they also looked at which of two diabetes treatment strategies resulted in better outcomes����??insulin-providing versus insulin-sensitizing - that is, increasing the amount of insulin or making the insulin work better. Only patients with known type 2 diabetes and heart disease that could be treated appropriately with a revascularization OR medical therapy alone were eligible for the trial. Patients entered the study between January 2001 ����?? March 2005 and were followed for an average of five years. When a patient entered the study, physicians first decided whether that patient should receive stenting or bypass surgery. The patient then received their randomization assignment. All patients were treated in BARI 2D for both their diabetes and heart disease, as well as other risk factors that might effect those diseases, regardless of which group they were in. Diabetes-specific complications including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease were monitored regularly. Tests, blood samples, urine samples, and treatment cost data were obtained periodically through the trial and examined by experts at 7 central laboratories and other research partners. Experts on risk factors routinely oversaw treatments of all patients at 4 central management centers. A panel of independent experts reviewed data every six months to make sure that all patients were receiving safe care.

http://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc/software/131-shapeworks.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on September 2, 2022. Software that is an open-source distribution of a new method for constructing compact statistical point-based models of ensembles of similar shapes that does not rely on any specific surface parameterization. The method requires very little preprocessing or parameter tuning, and is applicable to a wide range of shape analysis problems, including nonmanifold surfaces and objects of arbitrary topology. The proposed correspondence point optimization uses an entropy-based minimization that balances the simplicity of the model (compactness) with the accuracy of the surface representations. The ShapeWorks software includes tools for preprocessing data, computing point-based shape models, and visualizing the results.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 08, 2012. The function of the IMR is to select, import, cryopreserve, maintain, and distribute these important strains of mice to the research community. To improve their value for research, the IMR also undertakes genetic development of stocks, such as transferring mutant genes or transgenes to defined genetic backgrounds and combining transgenes and/or targeted mutations to create new mouse models for research. The function of the IMR is to: * select biomedically important stocks of transgenic, chemically induced, and targeted mutant mice * import these stocks into the Jackson Laboratory by rederivation procedures that rid them of any pathogens they might carry * cryopreserve embryos from these stocks to protect them against accidental loss and genetic contamination * backcross the mutation onto an inbred strain, if necessary * distribute them to the scientific community More than 1000 mutant stocks have been accepted by the IMR from 1992 through December 2006. Current holdings include models for research on cancer; breast cancer; immunological and inflammatory diseases; neurological diseases; behavioral, cardiovascular and heart diseases; developmental, metabolic and other diseases; reporter (e.g., GFP) and recombinase (e.g., cre/loxP) strains. About eight strains a month are being added to the IMR holdings. Research is being conducted on improved methods for assisted reproduction and speed congenic production. Most of the targeted mutants arrive on a mixed 129xC57BL/6 genetic background, and as many of these as possible are backcrossed onto an inbred strain (usually C57BL/6J). In addition, new mouse models are being created by intercrossing carriers of specific transgenes and/or targeted mutations. Simple sequence length polymorphism DNA markers are being used to characterize and evaluate differences between inbred strains, substrains, and embryonic stem cell lines.

Animal model data primarily focused on mice including high resolution MRI, light and electron microscopic data from normal and genetically modified mice. It also has atlases, and the Mouse BIRN Atlasing Toolkit (MBAT) which provides a 3D visual interface to spatially registered distributed brain data acquired across scales. The goal of the Mouse BIRN is to help scientists utilize model organism databases for analyzing experimental data. Mouse BIRN has ended. The next phase of this project is the Mouse Connectome Project (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mcp/). The Mouse BIRN testbeds initially focused on mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases. Mouse BIRN testbed partners provide multi-modal, multi-scale reference image data of the mouse brain as well as genetic and genomic information linking genotype and brain phenotype. Researchers across six groups are pooling and analyzing multi-scale structural and functional data and integrating it with genomic and gene expression data acquired from the mouse brain. These correlated multi-scale analyses of data are providing a comprehensive basis upon which to interpret signals from the whole brain relative to the tissue and cellular alterations characteristic of the modeled disorder. BIRN's infrastructure is providing the collaborative tools to enable researchers with unique expertise and knowledge of the mouse an opportunity to work together on research relevant to pre-clinical mouse models of neurological disease. The Mouse BIRN also maintains a collaborative Web Wiki, which contains announcements, an FAQ, and much more.
