Database of microRNA target predictions and expression profiles. Target predictions are based on a development of the miRanda algorithm which incorporates current biological knowledge on target rules and on the use of an up-to-date compendium of mammalian microRNAs. MicroRNA expression profiles are derived from a comprehensive sequencing project of a large set of mammalian tissues and cell lines of normal and disease origin. This website enables users to explore: * The set of genes that are potentially regulated by a particular microRNA. * The implied cooperativity of multiple microRNAs on a particular mRNA. * MicroRNA expression profiles in various mammalian tissues. The web resource provides users with functional information about the growing number of microRNAs and their interaction with target genes in many species and facilitates novel discoveries in microRNA gene regulation. The microRNA Target Detection Software, miRanda, is an algorithm for finding genomic targets for microRNAs. This algorithm has been written in C and is available as an open-source method under the GPL., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented June 5, 2017. It has been merged with Cell Image Library. Database for sharing and mining cellular and subcellular high resolution 2D, 3D and 4D data from light and electron microscopy, including correlated imaging that makes unique and valuable datasets available to the scientific community for visualization, reuse and reanalysis. Techniques range from wide field mosaics taken with multiphoton microscopy to 3D reconstructions of cellular ultrastructure using electron tomography. Contributions from the community are welcome. The CCDB was designed around the process of reconstruction from 2D micrographs, capturing key steps in the process from experiment to analysis. The CCDB refers to the set of images taken from microscope the as the Microscopy Product. The microscopy product refers to a set of related 2D images taken by light (epifluorescence, transmitted light, confocal or multiphoton) or electron microscopy (conventional or high voltage transmission electron microscopy). These image sets may comprise a tilt series, optical section series, through focus series, serial sections, mosaics, time series or a set of survey sections taken in a single microscopy session that are not related in any systematic way. A given set of data may be more than one product, for example, it is possible for a set of images to be both a mosaic and a tilt series. The Microscopy Product ID serves as the accession number for the CCDB. All microscopy products must belong to a project and be stored along with key specimen preparation details. Each project receives a unique Project ID that groups together related microscopy products. Many of the datasets come from published literature, but publication is not a prerequisite for inclusion in the CCDB. Any datasets that are of high quality and interest to the scientific community can be included in the CCDB.

The Edwards lab conducts research in various aspects of computational biology and bioinformatics, particularly proteomics and mass spectrometry informatics and DNA and protein based signatures for pathogen detection. Some tools provided by Edwards Lab are the PepArML Meta-Search Engine, PeptideMapper Web-Service, Peptide Sequence Databases, Rapid Microorganism Identification Database (RMIDb), and GlycoPeptideSearch. Our primary area of research is the analysis of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics. Proteomics, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the expressed proteins of a cell, makes it possible to detect and compare the protein abundance profiles of different samples. Proteins observed to be under or over expressed in disease samples can lead to diagnostic markers or drug targets. The observation of mutated or alternatively spliced protein isoforms may provide domain experts with clues to the mechanisms by which a disease operates. The detection of proteins by mass spectrometry can even signal the presence of airborne microorganisms, such as anthrax, in the detect-to-protect time-frame. Recent research has focused on the discovery of novel peptides in proteomics datasets, improving the sensitivity and specificity of peptide identification using spectral matching with hidden Markov models, and unsupervised machine-learning based peptide identification result combining. Outside of proteomics, we work on computational tools for the design of highly specific oligonucleotides useful for pathogen signatures and PCR assay design. Recent research has focused on precomputing all human oligos of length 20 that are unique up to 4 string edits; and all bacterial 20-mer oligos that are species specific up to 4 string edits.

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible

Data files for a high resolution three dimensional (3D) structure of the rat hippocampus reconstructed from histological sections. The data files (supplementary data for Ropireddy et al., Neurosci., 2012 Mar 15;205:91-111) are being shared on the Windows Live cloud space provided by Microsoft. Downloadable data files include the Nissl histological images, the hippocampus layer tracings that can be visualized alone or superimposed to the corresponding Nissl images, the voxel database coordinates, and the surface rendering VRML files. * Hippocampus Nissl Images: The high resolution histological Nissl images obtained at 16 micrometer inter-slice distance for the Long-Evans rat hippocampus can be downloaded or directly viewed in a browser. This dataset consists of 230 jpeg images that cover the hippocampus from rostral to caudal poles. This image dataset is uploaded in seven parts as rar files. * Hippocampus Layer Tracings: The seven hippocampus layers ''ML, ''GC'', ''HILUS'' in DG and ''LM'', ''RAD'', ''PC'', ''OR'' in CA were segmented (traced) using the Reconstruct tool which can be downloaded from Synapse web. This tool outputs all the tracings for each image in XML format. The XML tracing files for all these seven layers for each of the above Nissl images are zipped into one file and can be downloaded. * Hippocampus VoxelDB: The 3D hippocampus reconstructed is volumetrically transformed into 16 micrometer sized voxels for all the seven layers. Each voxel is reported according to multiple coordinate systems, namely in Cartesian, along the natural hippocampal dimensions, and in reference to the canonical brain planes. The voxel database file is created in ascii format. The single voxel database file was split into three rar archive files. Please note that the three rar archive files should be downloaded and decompressed in a single directory in order to obtain the single voxel data file (Hippocampus-VoxelDB.txt). * 3D Surface Renderings: This is a rar archive file with a single VRML file containing the surface rendering of DG and CA layers. This VRML file can be opened and visualized in any VRML viewer, e.g. the open source software view3dscene. * 3D Hippocampus Movie: This movie contains visualization of the 3D surface renderings of CA (blue) and DG (red) inner and outer boundaries; neuronal embeddings of DG granule and CA pyramidal dendritic arbors; potential synapses between CA3b interneuron axon and pyramidal dendrite, and between CA2 pyramidal axon and CA pyramidal dendrites.
