http://pathema.jcvi.org/Pathema/index.html

Pathema is one of the eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers designed to serve as a core resource for the bio-defense and infectious disease research community. Pathema strives to support basic research and accelerate scientific progress for understanding, detecting, diagnosing and treating an established set of six target NIAID Category A-C pathogens: Category A priority pathogens; Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, and Category B priority pathogens; Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Clostridium perfringens and Entamoeba histolytica. Each target pathogen is represented in one of four distinct clade-specific Pathema web resources and underlying databases developed to target the specific data and analysis needs of each scientific community. All publicly available complete genome projects of phylogenetically related organisms are also represented, providing a comprehensive collection of organisms for comparative analyses. Pathema facilitates the scientific exploration of genomic and related data through its integration with web-based analysis tools, customized to obtain, display, and compute results relevant to ongoing pathogen research. Pathema serves the bio-defense and infectious disease research community by disseminating data resulting from pathogen genome sequencing projects and providing access to the results of inter-genomic comparisons for these organisms. The Pathema BRC contract ends in December 2009. At that time JCVI will cease maintenance of the Pathema web resource and data. The PATRIC team, located at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, created and maintains a consolidated BRC for all of the NIAID category A-C priority pathogenic bacteria. The EuPathDB team at the University of Pennsylvania will support all eukaryotic pathogens. Pathema transferred all data and software to PATRIC and EuPathDB for incorporation into their new Web-based bioinformatics resource.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/alfresco/

The aim is to develop a new visualization tool that allows effective comparative genome sequence analysis. The program will compare multiple sequences from putitatively homologous regions in different species. Results from various different existing analysis programs, such as gene prediction, protein homology and regulatory sequence prediction programs shall be visualized and used to find corresponding sequence domains. The program functions as an stand-alone application and also over the World Wide Web. With this in mind it is being developed using the Java programming language. A key feature of the program is to use available analysis programs relevant to comparative genome sequence analysis, combine the results of these, and graphically present them in an intuitive way, thereby facilitating the analysis of large genomic regions. We''ve decided to call this program Alfresco. We originally wanted to call it Fresco (FRont-End for Sequence COmparison) but that name was already taken. To run Alfresco you need to have jdk1.1 installed. Alfresco has only been tested on Solaris 2.5, Dec OSF 4.0D and Linux, but should run on any machine with jdk1.1. New: Alfresco now runs on Mac and Windows as well.

http://bti.cornell.edu/

BTI is unique in being a private, not-for-profit research institute dedicated to plant biology, and located on a major university campus. Its mission is to advance and communicate scientific knowledge in plant biology to improve agriculture, protect the environment, and enhance human health. The institute was founded in Yonkers, New York, next to the home of its benefactor, William Boyce Thompson. In the mid-1970''s, however, it was recognized that a physical presence on a university campus would catapult the institute to a higher level of research, and the Cornell affiliation was born. BTI hires its own faculty, postdoctoral scholars and technicians, but also hosts undergraduate and graduate researchers from Cornell. BTI faculty generally have adjunct appointments at Cornell, and participate in graduate training and other university affairs. As envisioned in the Agreement of Affiliation, the partnership is advantageous for both parties, and contributes to a singularly strong environment for fundamental plant research on the campus. William Boyce Thompson founded BTI in 1924 on the premise that basic plant research leads to real benefits for people. Many potential applications of BTI research are to improve crops by increasing yield or nutritional content, or decreasing the need for harmful fertilizers and pesticides. Other research could lead to inexpensive plant-made vaccines, or even shed light on the human immune system. With aims like these in mind, scientists at BTI study life at the scale of genes and proteins to learn about processes such as how plants detect light, or how they respond when aphids bite into them. Along with research, BTI''s mission includes environmental responsibility and outreach to teachers, students, and community members. Though it remains an independent, non-profit institution, BTI is affiliated with Cornell University and is located on its Ithaca, New York campus.

The Barth Syndrome Foundation, together with our affiliates, is a community of families, physicians, scientists, donors and volunteers around the world. As our mission statement says, we are dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment, and finding a cure for Barth syndrome - a sometimes fatal, oftentimes debilitating genetic disease. Our work includes: * Raising awareness among physicians, scientists, and the general public; * Supporting relevant research through an international grant research program; * Providing a caring and educational community for affected families; and * Hosting a unique information resource. Working together we are making a difference in the lives of children and their families. One day there will be a cure; we hope you will help us make that day come sooner. We are the only world-wide volunteer organization dedicated to saving lives through education, advances in treatment and pursuit of a cure for Barth syndrome (BTHS). We started in 2000, after the first international conference held in Baltimore, MD (USA) where families from around the world met to discuss BTHS. As a result, we made a unanimous decision to work together to find a cure for this multi-system disorder. Our Foundation strives to accelerate progress through collaboration between families and scientists. We encourage family participation in research. Also, we provide several ways to keep up-to-date about advances in science and medicine. Our principal education event is our biennial international scientific, medical and family conference, which brings together the largest number of individuals interested in Barth syndrome. Our Family Services team is continually developing new informational resources in response to the needs of families, individuals, and professionals working with those affected by Barth syndrome.

The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to define community standards for data representation in proteomics to facilitate data comparison, exchange and verification. As a first step, the PSI is developing standards for two key areas of proteomics: mass spectrometry and protein-protein interaction data. The document describes the molecular interaction data exchange format. PSI is following a leveled approach to building this specification. Level 1 will describe protein interactions at a basic level that covers a large amount of currently available data. Subsequent levels will add capability to represent new molecular interaction information that the community wishes to exchange. The scope of PSI MI is currently limited to protein-protein interactions. Other molecules, such as small molecules, DNA and RNA maybe taken into account in the future. The PSI MI format is a data exchange format for protein-protein interactions. It is not a proposed database structure. The purpose of the document is to describe the general structure of the PSI MI XML specification in a more user-friendly manner than the specification does itself. PSI MI was designed by a group of people including representatives from database providers and users in both academia and industry. PSI MI is supported by the DIP, MINT, IntAct, BIND and HPRD databases.
