Flytrap is an interactive database for displaying gene expression patterns, in particular P(GAL4) patterns, via an intuitive WWW based interface. This development consists of two components, the first being the HTML interface to the database and the second, a tool-kit for constructing and maintaining the database. The browser component of the project is entirely platform independent; based on javascript and HTML and therefore only requires a "standard" browser. This is to facilitate CD-ROM distribution and off-line browsing. Whether on-line or on CD, the basic browser structure does not reply on any server based scripts. Basic searching is now available. The search page uses javascript and will work off-line (i.e. from a CD-ROM copy). The construction tool-kit is UNIX based and requires an on-line web server. The tool-kit is used to compile the HTML browser interface from a simple database. The tool-kit part comprises a forms based HTML interface to the datasets allowing new information to b e added and updated very simply. We are also developing a java interface for the tool-kit that will enable us to edit and annotate images on-line. The basic browser interface is complete and a demonstration version can be accessed via the website. The first working version of the tool-kit is now on-line and is available for use.

http://www.ub.edu/dnasp/

A software package for the analysis of nucleotide polymorphism from aligned DNA sequence data. DnaSP can estimate several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations (in noncoding, synonymous or nonsynonymous sites, or in various sorts of codon positions), as well as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion parameters. DnaSP can also carry out several tests of neutrality: Hudson, Kreitman and Aguad (1987), Tajima (1989), McDonald and Kreitman (1991), Fu and Li (1993), and Fu (1997) tests. Additionally, DnaSP can estimate the confidence intervals of some test-statistics by the coalescent. The results of the analyses are displayed on tabular and graphic form.

http://brainmap.org/

A community database of published functional and structural neuroimaging experiments with both metadata descriptions of experimental design and activation locations in the form of stereotactic coordinates (x,y,z) in Talairach or MNI space. BrainMap provides not only data for meta-analyses and data mining, but also distributes software and concepts for quantitative integration of neuroimaging data. The goal of BrainMap is to develop software and tools to share neuroimaging results and enable meta-analysis of studies of human brain function and structure in healthy and diseased subjects. It is a tool to rapidly retrieve and understand studies in specific research domains, such as language, memory, attention, reasoning, emotion, and perception, and to perform meta-analyses of like studies. Brainmap contains the following software: # Sleuth: database searches and Talairach coordinate plotting (this application requires a username and password) # GingerALE: performs meta-analyses via the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method; also converts coordinates between MNI and Talairach spaces using icbm2tal # Scribe: database entry of published functional neuroimaging papers with coordinate results

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A community-driven knowledgebase of Alzheimer disease, in which researchers can annotate scientific claims, data, and information, putting these into the context of testable hypotheses and treatment discovery. This SWAN project adds a collection of hand-curated hypotheses to a research paper, which are then related through a set of discourse relationships. They can be browsed and relations between claims, as well as support networks for a specific claim, are made and visualized. AlzSWAN is where you explore scientific knowledge about Alzheimer disease and share your own ideas, comments and questions in a semantically structured system. AlzSWAN is enabled by Semantic Web technology, a new standard for knowledge organization and transfer on the Web. AlzSWAN organizes and manages knowledge using formal knowledge descriptions called ontologies. Using these formal knowledge descriptions, they can tie statements made in scientific publications or on the Web to scientific evidence, biological terminologies, and knowledgebases, and to claims and counterclaims made by other researchers.

http://www.mged.org/Workgroups/MAGE/mage-ml.html

A language / data exchange format designed to describe and communicate information about microarray based experiments that is based on XML and can describe microarray designs, microarray manufacturing information, microarray experiment setup and execution information, gene expression data and data analysis results. MAGE-ML has been automatically derived from Microarray Gene Expression Object Model (MAGE-OM), which is developed and described using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) -- a standard language for describing object models. Descriptions using UML have an advantage over direct XML document type definitions (DTDs), in many respects. First they use graphical representation depicting the relationships between different entities in a way which is much easier to follow than DTDs. Second, the UML diagrams are primarily meant for humans, while DTDs are meant for computers. Therefore MAGE-OM should be considered as the primary model, and MAGE-ML will be explained by providing simplified fragments of MAGE-OM, rather then XML DTD or XML Schema. (from the description by Ugis Sarkans) The field of gene expression experiments has several distinct technologies that a standard must include. These include single vs. dual channel experiments, cDNA vs. oligonucleotides. Because of these different technologies and different types of gene expression experiments, it is not expected that all aspects of the standard will be used by all organizations. Given the massive amount of data associated with a single set of experiments, it is felt that Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the best way to describe the data. The use of a Document Type Definition (DTD) allows a well-defined tag set, a vocabulary, to describe the domain of gene expression experiments. It also has the virtue of compressing very well so that files in an XML format compress to ten percent of their original size. XML is now widely accepted as a data exchange format across multiple platforms.
