Consortium conducting meta-analyses of genome-wide genetic data for psychiatric disease. Focused on autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa (AN), Tourette syndrome (TS), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Used to investigate common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped on commercial arrays, structural variation (copy number variation) and uncommon or rare genetic variation. To participate you are asked to upload data from your study to central computer used by this consortium. Genetic Cluster Computer serves as data warehouse and analytical platform for this study . When data from your study have been incorporated, account will be provided on central server and access to all GWAS genotypes, phenotypes, and meta-analytic results relevant to deposited data and participation aims. NHGRI GWAS Catalog contains updated information about all GWAS in biomedicine, and is usually excellent starting point to find comprehensive list of studies. Files can be obtained by any PGC member for any disease to which they contributed data. These files can also be obtained by application to NIMH Genetics Repository. Individual-level genotype and phenotype data requires application, material transfer agreement, and informed consent consideration. Some datasets are also in controlled-access dbGaP and Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium repositories. PGC members can also receive back cleaned and imputed data and results for samples they contributed to PGC analyses.

Network evaluating consensus-based common data elements (CDE) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health (TBI-CDE, www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/TBI.aspx) while extensively phenotyping a cohort of TBI patients across the injury spectrum from concussion to coma. Institutions that participate in the TBI Network will be able to track the outcomes of patients through a 3, 6 and 12-month followup program and compare outcomes with other participating institutions. For the three acute care centers, patients were enrolled that presented to the emergency department within 24 hours of head injury and required computed tomography (CT). For the rehabilitation center, referrals from acute hospitals were enrolled. Patients were consented to participate in components: clinical profile; blood draws for measurement of proteomic and genomic markers; 3T MRI within 2 weeks; three-month Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E); and six-month TBI-CDE Core outcome assessments. A web-enabled database, imaging repository, and biospecimen bank was developed using the TBI-CDE recommendations. A total of 605 patients were enrolled. Of these subjects, 88% had a GCS 13-15, 5% had a GCS 9-12, and 7% had a GCS of 8 or less. Three-month GOS-E''s were obtained for 78% of the patients. Comprehensive 6-month outcome measures, including PTSD assessment, are ongoing until September 2011. Blood specimens were collected from 450 patients. Initial CTs for 605 patients and 235 patients with 3T MRI studies were transferred to an imaging repository. The TRACK TBI Network will provide qualified institutions access to a web-based version of key forms in tracking TBI outcomes for Quality Improvement and institutional benchmarking.

Web service for permanent archiving and sharing of all types of personally identifiable genetic and phenotypic data resulting from biomedical research projects. The repository allows you to explore datasets from numerous genotype experiments, supplied by a range of data providers. The EGA''s role is to provide secure access to the data that otherwise could not be distributed to the research community. The EGA contains exclusive data collected from individuals whose consent agreements authorize data release only for specific research use or to bona fide researchers. Strict protocols govern how information is managed, stored and distributed by the EGA project. As an example, only members of the EGA team are allowed to process data in a secure computing facility. Once processed, all data are encrypted for dissemination and the encryption keys are delivered offline. The EGA also supports data access only for the consortium members prior to publication.

http://www.biodas.org

The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) defines a communication protocol used to exchange annotations on genomic or protein sequences. It is motivated by the idea that such annotations should not be provided by single centralized databases, but should instead be spread over multiple sites. Data distribution, performed by DAS servers, is separated from visualization, which is done by DAS clients. The advantages of this system are that control over the data is retained by data providers, data is freed from the constraints of specific organisations and the normal issues of release cycles, API updates and data duplication are avoided. DAS is a client-server system in which a single client integrates information from multiple servers. It allows a single machine to gather up sequence annotation information from multiple distant web sites, collate the information, and display it to the user in a single view. Little coordination is needed among the various information providers. DAS is heavily used in the genome bioinformatics community. Over the last years we have also seen growing acceptance in the protein sequence and structure communities. A DAS-enabled website or application can aggregate complex and high-volume data from external providers in an efficient manner. For the biologist, this means the ability to plug in the latest data, possibly including a user''s own data. For the application developer, this means protection from data format changes and the ability to add new data with minimal development cost. Here are some examples of DAS-enabled applications or websites for end users: :- Dalliance Experimental Web/Javascript based Genome Viewer :- IGV Integrative Genome Viewer java based browser for many genomes :- Ensembl uses DAS to pull in genomic, gene and protein annotations. It also provides data via DAS. :- Gbrowse is a generic genome browser, and is both a consumer and provider of DAS. :- IGB is a desktop application for viewing genomic data. :- SPICE is an application for projecting protein annotations onto 3D structures. :- Dasty2 is a web-based viewer for protein annotations :- Jalview is a multiple alignment editor. :- PeppeR is a graphical viewer for 3D electron microscopy data. :- DASMI is an integration portal for protein interaction data. :- DASher is a Java-based viewer for protein annotations. :- EpiC presents structure-function summaries for antibody design. :- STRAP is a STRucture-based sequence Alignment Program. Hundreds of DAS servers are currently running worldwide, including those provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute, Ensembl, the Sanger Institute, UCSC, WormBase, FlyBase, TIGR, and UniProt. For a listing of all available DAS sources please visit the DasRegistry. Sponsors: The initial ideas for DAS were developed in conversations with LaDeana Hillier of the Washington University Genome Sequencing Center.

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.
