The Oomycete Molecular Genetics Research Collaboration Network (OMGN) is a network for research collaboration for investigators interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The goals of the OMGN is to facilitate the integration of these investigators into the community and to further strengthen the cooperative culture of this community. A particular emphasis is placed on training and integrating junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. Because of their economic impact as plant pathogens, molecular, genetic and genomics studies are well advanced in many oomycete species. These organisms have served as lead species for the entire Stramenopiles lineage, a major radiation of crown eukaryotes, distinct from plants, animals and fungi. The oomycete molecular genetics community has a strong culture of collaboration and communication, and sharing of techniques and resources. With the recent blossoming of genetic and genomic tools for oomycetes, many new investigators, from a variety of backgrounds, have become interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The proposed network is open to all researchers with an interest in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics, either at an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome, especially those interested in saprophytes and animal pathogens. Goals of OMGN # Provide training to o��mycete molecular genetics researchers, especially those from smaller institutions, in the use of bioinformatics and genomics resources. # Promote the entry, participation and training of new investigators into the field of o��mycete genomics, particularly junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. # Promote communication and collaboration, and minimize duplication of effort, within the worldwide o��mycete genomics community. # Support an O��mycete Genomics Resources Center to maintain and distribute training and research materials produced by community genomics projects. The network''s activities have been supported by two grants from the NSF Research Collaboration Networks in Biology program.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 29, 2012. We developed a web application, GOfetcher, with a very comprehensive search facility for the GO project and a variety of output formats for the results. GOfetcher has three different levels for searching the GO: Quick Search, Advanced Search, and Upload Files for searching. The application includes a unique search option which generates gene information given a nucleotide or protein accession number which can then be used in generating gene ontology information. The output data in GOfetcher can be saved into several different formats; including spreadsheet, comma-separated values, and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. Platform: Online tool

http://www.crowdlabs.org/

A social visualization repository for the scientific workflow management system VisTrails providing a platform for sharing and executing computational tasks. It adopts the model used by social Web sites and that integrates a set of usable tools and a scalable infrastructure to provide an environment for scientists to collaboratively analyze and visualize data. crowdLabs aims to foster collaboration but was specifically designed to support the needs of computational scientists, including the ability to access high-performance computers and manipulate large volumes of data. By providing mechanisms that simplify the publishing and use of analysis pipelines, it allows IT personnel and end users to collaboratively construct and refine portals. This lowers the barriers for the use of scientific analyses and enables broader audiences to contribute insights to the scientific exploration process, without the high costs incurred by traditional portals. In addition, it supports a more dynamic environment where new exploratory analyses can be added on-the-fly.

http://cnas.ucr.edu/guppy/

A project that observes the processes of adaptive evolution in nature, and tests evolutionary hypotheses, by studying populations of guppies on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Darwin thought that evolution by natural selection occurred very slowly, over hundreds if not thousands of years. Evolutionary biologists now know that evolutionary changes in species can happen very quickly, over a relatively few generations. The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Biological Research (FIBR) program, is funding a 5-year study by 13 biologists from colleges, universities, and research institutions throughout the United States and Canada, to study the relationship of adaptive evolution and environmental circumstances. The Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is an excellent species for these purposes because: * It matures rapidly (one generation = 3-4 months) * It inhabits different ecological environments that can be easily manipulated On Trinidad, guppies live in streams, or portions of streams, that can differ in the species of predators that the guppies have to contend with. Some streams are high-predation environments, others low-predation. Different predation environments are often right next to one another, separated by a waterfall (which neither guppies nor predators can cross). Guppies from high-predation environments experience much higher mortality rates than do guppies in low-predation environments. High mortality is associated with the following characteristics, all of which have a genetic basis: * Earlier maturity * Greater investment of resources in reproduction * More and smaller offspring. We have found that mortality rates can be manipulated by: * Transplanting guppies from high-predation localities into sites from which they and their predators had previously been excluded by natural waterfalls, thus lowering mortality rates; * Introducing predators into low-predation sites, thus increasing mortality rates. Such experiments have shown that species evolve as predicted by theory. We have also found that evolution by natural selection can be remarkably fast, on the order of four to seven orders of magnitude faster than had been inferred from the fossil record.
