The NBIA Disorders Association, formerly known as Hallervorden-Spatz Syndrome Association, (HSSA) was originally founded in 1996 by President, Patricia Wood. The goals of the association are to raise funds to support research pertinent to NBIA; to provide emotional support to those afflicted with NBIA and their families; and to raise public awareness of NBIA. The NBIA Disorders Association is accepting applications for one-year grants for clinical and translational research studies related to the early detection, diagnosis, or treatment of patients with NBIA. Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a group of rare, genetic, neurological disorders characterized by the accumulation of iron deposits in the brain and progressive degeneration of the nervous system. It typically first appears in childhood. Presenting signs and symptoms may include difficulty walking, loss of balance, and problems related to speech. Those affected suffer a progressive loss of muscle control, sudden involuntary muscle spasms, and uncontrolled tightening of the muscles. Symptoms may also include disorientation, seizures, and deterioration of intellectual ability. Approximately half of the cases diagnosed have been linked to a mutation of a gene known as PANK2. At the present time, symptoms may be treated but there is no cure. The purpose of the NBIA Disorders Association Research Grant Program is to encourage meritorious research studies designed to improve the diagnosis or treatment of NBIA. The research can be conducted in the United States, countries of the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Japan, or Israel, and in other countries where adequate supervision of grant administration is possible. Grants will be awarded to qualified researchers to initiate pilot studies, the results of which are intended to be used to obtain larger multi-year grant funding. Evaluation of proposals will follow NIH guidelines and include careful consideration of experimental or protocol design, objectivity or relevance of parameters measured, and statistical analysis plan. Proposals that address the following areas will be given priority: * Therapeutics Development: ** Development of pantethine and its derivatives ** Development of other rational therapeutics * Animal & Cellular Models: ** Development of a new rodent disease model by targeted insertion of a ''human disease'' mutation into Pank2 ** Development of induced pluripotent stem cell lines. *** Development of animal and cellular models will be considered for multi-year funding with adequate budget justification. Proposals should detail a research plan and a budget for the initial phase of the work, with the option to contract further work out to a commercial enterprise. * Biomarker Discovery and Assay Development: ** Metabolomics ** Coenzyme A / acyl coenzyme A measurement using accessible (peripheral and central) tissue/fluid * New NBIA gene discovery

http://code.google.com/p/hydra-sv/

Software that detects structural variation (SV) breakpoints by clustering discordant paired-end alignments whose signatures corroborate the same putative breakpoint. Hydra can detect breakpoints caused by all classes of structural variation. Moreover, it was designed to detect variation in both unique and duplicated genomic regions; therefore, it will examine paired-end reads having multiple discordant alignments. Hydra does not attempt to classify SV breakpoints based on the mapping distances and orientations of each breakpoint cluster, it merely detects and reports breakpoints. This is an intentional decision, as it was observed that in loci affected by complex rearrangements, the type of variant suggested by the breakpoint signature is not always correct. Hydra does report the orientations, distances, number of supporting read-pairs, etc., for each breakpoint. It is suggested that downstream methods be used to classify variants based on the genomic features that they overlap and the co-occurrence of other breakpoints. For example, they developed BEDTools for exactly this purpose and the breakpoints reported by Hydra are in the BEDPE format used by BEDTools. Future releases of Hydra will include scripts that assist in the classification process.

http://users-birc.au.dk/biopv/php/fabox/

Tools for splitting, joining and otherwise manipulating FASTA format sequence files. The first tools in the toolbox is for manipulating fasta headers, cropping alignments and doing some sequence comparison allowing users to combine the description of data (often in excel spreadsheets) with the actual data (often DNA sequences). Also, producing correct input files for a range of programs seems to be problematic for the average user. Hence, some converters in some of the services have been included as well as some stand-alone converters. The converters are not necessarily meant to provide the final input file, but you''ll get a valid input file for Arlequin, MrBayes etc. - that you may further edit so it suit your needs. This means that you may need to combine several of the tools to finish your handling - but it keeps it relatively simple to use. Please note that FaBox is written in PHP and ONLY RUNS ON A WEBSERVER.

http://cgs.csail.mit.edu/gem/

Java software for studying protein-DNA interaction using ChIP-seq / ChIP-exo data. It links binding event discovery and motif discovery with positional priors in the context of a generative probabilistic model of ChIP data and genome sequence, resolves ChIP data into explanatory motifs and binding events at unsurpassed spatial resolution. GEM reciprocally improves motif discovery using binding event locations, and binding event predictions using discovered motifs.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 19, 2020.A program to align short sequences that has been developed with an innovative strategy to perform fast gapped and ungapped alignment onto a reference sequence. It supports several data formats and allows the user to modulate very finely the sensitivity of the alignments. The program is designed to handle huge amounts of short reads generated by ILLUMINA, SOLiD and Roche-454 technology. The optimization of the internal data structure and a filter based on precomputed short-word alignments allow the program to skip false positives in the extension phase, thus reducing the execution time without loss of sensitivity. The final alignment is performed by dynamic programming., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
