http://www.transformproject.eu/portfolio-item/d6-2-clinical-research-information-model/

A clinical research information model for the integration of clinical research covering randomized clinical trials (RCT), case-control studies and database searches into the TRANSFoRm application development. TRANSFoRm clinical research is based on primary care data, clinical data and genetic data stored in databases and electronic health records and employs the principle of reusing primary care data, adapting data collection by patient reported outcomes (PRO) and eSource based Case Report Forms. CRIM was developed using the TRANSFoRm clinical use cases of GORD and Diabetes. Their use case driven approach consisted of three levels of modelling drawing heavily on the clinical research workflow of the use cases. Different available information models were evaluated for their usefulness to represent TRANSFoRm clinical research, including for example CTOM of caBIG, Primary Care Research Object Model (PRCOM) of ePCRN and BRIDG of CDISC. The PCROM model turned out to be the most suitable and it was possible to extend and modify this model with only 12 new information objects, 3 episode of care related objects and 2 areas to satisfy all requirements of the TRANSFoRm research use cases. Now the information model covers Good Clinical Practice (GCP) compliant research, as well as case control studies and database search studies, including the interaction between patient and GP (family doctor) during patient consultation, appointment, screening, patient recruitment and adverse event reporting.

http://knhi.de/en/network/

Association of physicians, scientists, academics, research institutes and self-help groups that provides and nurtures interdisciplinary cooperation between research and primary, secondary and tertiary health care. Many internationally renowned heart failure researchers and working groups live and work in Germany. Nevertheless, there is insufficient cooperation of the respective working groups and research projects in this area. In order to remain internationally competitive in the heart failure research community, excellent implementation of large scale clinical and genetic trials is indispensable. Further, deficits in the effective presentation and transfer of research findings into clinical practice need to be addressed. An adequate translation of guidelines into practical, tangible instructions can facilitate clinical practice both in primary and tertiary care fundamentally. The need for action to address the research-practice-gap is obvious.

https://code.google.com/p/ontology-for-genetic-interval/

An ontology that formalized the genomic element by defining an upper class genetic interval using BFO as its framework. The definition of genetic interval is the spatial continuous physical entity which contains ordered genomic sets (DNA, RNA, Allele, Marker,etc.) between and including two points (Nucleic_Acid_Base_Residue) on a chromosome or RNA molecule which must have a liner primary sequence structure.

Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) is a collaborative effort of two agencies of the National Institutes of Health, The Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to help people find useful information about genetic conditions and rare diseases. GARD provides timely access to experienced information specialists who can furnish current and accurate information about genetic and rare diseases. So far, GARD has responded to 27,635 inquiries on about 7,147 rare and genetic diseases. Requests come not only from patients and their families, but also from physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals. GARD also has proved useful to genetic counselors, occupational and physical therapists, social workers, and teachers who work with people with a genetic or rare disease. Even scientists who are studying a genetic or rare disease and who need information for their research have contacted GARD, as have people who are taking part in a clinical study. Community leaders looking to help people find resources for those with genetic or rare diseases and advocacy groups who want up-to-date disease information for their members have contacted GARD. And members of the media who are writing stories about genetic or rare diseases have found the information GARD has on hand useful, accurate and complete. GARD has information on: :- What is known about a genetic or rare disease. :- What research studies are being conducted. :- What genetic testing and genetic services are available. :- Which advocacy groups to contact for a specific genetic or rare disease. :- What has been written recently about a genetic or rare disease in medical journals. GARD information specialists get their information from: :- NIH resources. :- Medical textbooks. :- Journal articles. :- Web sites. :- Advocacy groups, and their literature and services. :- Medical databases.

Map of identifyied genes controlling traits of economic and welfare significance in the pig. The project objectives were to produce a genetic map with markers spaced at approximately 20 centiMorgan intervals over at least 90% of the pig genome; to produce a physical map with at least one distal and one proximal landmark locus mapped on each porcine chromosome arm and also genetically mapped; to develop a flow karyotype for the pig based on FACS sorted chromosomes; to develop PCR based techniques to enable rapid genotyping for polymorphic markers; to evaluate synteny conservation between pigs, man, mice and cattle; to develop and evaluate the statistical techniques required to analyze data from QTL mapping experiments and to plan and initiate the mapping of QTLs in the pig; to map loci affecting traits of economic and biological significance in the pig; and to develop the molecular tools to allow the future identification and cloning of mapped loci. Animal breeders currently assume that economically important traits such as growth, carcass composition and reproductive performance are controlled by an infinite number of genes each of infinitessimal effect. Although this model is known to be unrealistic, it has successfully underpinned the genetic improvement of livestock, including pigs, over recent decades. A map of the pig genome would allow the development of more realistic models of the genetic control of economic traits and the ultimately the identification of the major trait genes. This would allow the development of more efficient marker assisted selection which may be of particular value for traits such as disease resistance and meat quality.

http://healthybrain.umn.edu/

Research forum portal to address brain status by acquiring comprehensive, multimodal data from healthy humans across the lifespan to characterize brain status, assess its change over time, and associate composite descriptors of brain status. Specifically, the measurements are acquired noninvasively by existing neuroimaging technologies (structural MRI, functional MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, diffusion MRI, and magnetoencephalography); in addition, genetic, cognitive, language, and lifestyle data are acquired. Goals: * Derive the Brain Health Index- An integrative assessment of brain status derived from multimodal measurements of brain structure, function, and chemistry. * Continue acquiring data to construct the first-ever databank on brain, cognitive, language and genetic measurements for healthy people across the lifespan. * Provide a novel and unique dataset by which to: characterize brain status, assess its change over time, and associate it with genetic makeup, cognitive function, and language abilities. * Forecast future brain health and disease based on current measurements and guide physicians towards new interventions and evaluate interventions as they develop. * Extend to siblings and other family members to further assess the genetic influences and inheritability.

An open-source C/C++ library for working with human genetic variation data. The specific focus is to provide a platform for analytic tool development for variation data from large-scale resequencing projects, particularly whole-exome and whole-genome studies. However, the library could in principle be applied to other types of genetic studies, including whole-genome association studies of common SNPs. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
