THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 14,2026. A web-based, multi-dimensional image data-viewing application for original microscopy image datasets associated with articles published in The Journal of Cell Biology, a peer-reviewed journal published by The Rockefeller University Press. The JCB DataViewer can host multidimensional fluorescence microscopy images, 3D tomogram data, very large (gigapixel) images, and high content imaging screens. Images are presented in an interactive viewer, and the scores from high content screens are presented in interactive graphs with data points linked to the relevant images. The JCB DataViewer uses the Bio-Formats library to read over 120 different imaging file formats and convert them to the OME-TIFF image data standard. Image data are archived by the Journal and may be freely accessed by readers using the JCB DataViewer. Download of author-provided image data and associated metadata in OME-TIFF format is also possible with author permission, allowing for independent analysis of image data irrespective of acquisition or viewing software. Although the JCB DataViewer is designed to host and facilitate sharing and analysis of original microscopy image data, authors may also upload other types of original image data as supplements to their manuscripts, including histology and electron micrographs and digital scans of gels or blots.

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/

http://www.randomizer.org

This site is designed for researchers and students who want a quick way to generate random numbers or assign participants to experimental conditions. Research Randomizer can be used in a wide variety of situations, including psychology experiments, medical trials, and survey research. The program uses a JavaScript random number generator to produce customized sets of random numbers. Since its release in 1997, Research Randomizer has been used to generate number sets over 10.7 million times. This service is part of Social Psychology Network and is fast, free, and runs with any recent web browser as long as JavaScript isn''t disabled. Research Randomizer is a free service offered to students and researchers interested in conducting random assignment and random sampling. By using this service, you agree to abide by the SPN User Policy and to hold Research Randomizer and its staff harmless in the event that you experience a problem with the program or its results. Although every effort has been made to develop a useful means of generating random numbers, Research Randomizer and its staff do not guarantee the quality or randomness of numbers generated. Any use to which these numbers are put remains the sole responsibility of the user who generated them. What are the system requirements needed to run Research Randomizer? This program works best with Firefox and other recent web browsers. If you''re using a browser that came with America Online, or older browsers made prior to 2003, you may experience some difficulties with Research Randomizer. You may also not be able to use Research Randomizer with some limited-function browsers that do not fully support JavaScript, such as the Opera broswer used on certain game consoles. We would suggest that you update to a fairly recent, fully- functional stand-alone browser. How do I know what browser I am using? The easiest way to find this out is to click Help on the pulldown menu at the top of the screen. One of the options should be About Mozilla Firefox, About Internet Explorer, About Netscape, or something similar. Selecting this option will open a window that displays the name, version number, and copyright date of your browser. How does Research Randomizer generate its numbers? Research Randomizer uses the Math.random method within the JavaScript programming language to generate its random numbers for all modern web browsers. If you are using an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (that is prior to version 4.0 of either), Research Randomizer uses an adaptation of the Central Randomizer by Paul Houle. Note that Research Randomizer no longer supports much-older browsers by other vendors (e.g., Mosaic). Who designed Research Randomizer? The original idea and programming for Research Randomizer came from Geoffrey C. Urbaniak in 1997. Research Randomizer was then jointly developed with Scott Plous, webmaster of Social Psychology Network, and online tutorials were added to the main program. In 1999 the site was redesigned with the assistance of Mike Lestik, in 2003 Mike Lestik added the download function, and in 2007 Mike Lestik and Scott Plous redesigned the site and added new content.
