http://scicrunch.org/resources

Portal providing identifiers for Antibodies, Model Organisms, and Tools (software, databases, services) created in support of the Resource Identification Initiative, which aims to promote research resource identification, discovery, and reuse. The portal offers a central location for obtaining and exploring Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) - persistent and unique identifiers for referencing a research resource. A critical goal of the RII is the widespread adoption of RRIDs to cite resources in the biomedical literature and other places that reference their generation or use. RRIDs use established community identifiers where they exist, and are cross-referenced in their system where more than one identifier exists for a single resource.

http://edwardslab.bmcb.georgetown.edu/

The Edwards lab conducts research in various aspects of computational biology and bioinformatics, particularly proteomics and mass spectrometry informatics and DNA and protein based signatures for pathogen detection. Some tools provided by Edwards Lab are the PepArML Meta-Search Engine, PeptideMapper Web-Service, Peptide Sequence Databases, Rapid Microorganism Identification Database (RMIDb), and GlycoPeptideSearch. Our primary area of research is the analysis of mass spectrometry experiments for proteomics. Proteomics, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the expressed proteins of a cell, makes it possible to detect and compare the protein abundance profiles of different samples. Proteins observed to be under or over expressed in disease samples can lead to diagnostic markers or drug targets. The observation of mutated or alternatively spliced protein isoforms may provide domain experts with clues to the mechanisms by which a disease operates. The detection of proteins by mass spectrometry can even signal the presence of airborne microorganisms, such as anthrax, in the detect-to-protect time-frame. Recent research has focused on the discovery of novel peptides in proteomics datasets, improving the sensitivity and specificity of peptide identification using spectral matching with hidden Markov models, and unsupervised machine-learning based peptide identification result combining. Outside of proteomics, we work on computational tools for the design of highly specific oligonucleotides useful for pathogen signatures and PCR assay design. Recent research has focused on precomputing all human oligos of length 20 that are unique up to 4 string edits; and all bacterial 20-mer oligos that are species specific up to 4 string edits.

http://akt.ucsf.edu/EGAN/

Exploratory Gene Association Networks (EGAN) is a software tool that allows a bench biologist to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of genes, relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurrence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.). EGAN provides comprehensive, automated calculation of meta-data coincidence (over-representation, enrichment) for user- and assay-defined gene lists, and provides direct links to web resources and literature (NCBI Entrez Gene, PubMed, KEGG, Gene Ontology, iHOP, Google, etc.). EGAN functions as a module for exploratory investigation of analysis results from multiple high-throughput assay technologies, including but not limited to: * Transcriptomics via expression microarrays or RNA-Seq * Genomics via SNP GWAS or array CGH * Proteomics via MS/MS peptide identifications * Epigenomics via DNA methylation, ChIP-on-Chip or ChIP-Seq * In-silico analysis of sequences or literature EGAN has been built using Cytoscape libraries for graph visualization and layout, and is comparable to DAVID, GSEA, Ingenuity IPA and Ariadne Pathway Studio. There are pre-collated EGAN networks available for human (Homo sapiens), mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), chicken (Gallus gallus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza sativa) and brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There is now an EGAN module available for GenePattern (human-only). Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible

Data files for a high resolution three dimensional (3D) structure of the rat hippocampus reconstructed from histological sections. The data files (supplementary data for Ropireddy et al., Neurosci., 2012 Mar 15;205:91-111) are being shared on the Windows Live cloud space provided by Microsoft. Downloadable data files include the Nissl histological images, the hippocampus layer tracings that can be visualized alone or superimposed to the corresponding Nissl images, the voxel database coordinates, and the surface rendering VRML files. * Hippocampus Nissl Images: The high resolution histological Nissl images obtained at 16 micrometer inter-slice distance for the Long-Evans rat hippocampus can be downloaded or directly viewed in a browser. This dataset consists of 230 jpeg images that cover the hippocampus from rostral to caudal poles. This image dataset is uploaded in seven parts as rar files. * Hippocampus Layer Tracings: The seven hippocampus layers ''ML, ''GC'', ''HILUS'' in DG and ''LM'', ''RAD'', ''PC'', ''OR'' in CA were segmented (traced) using the Reconstruct tool which can be downloaded from Synapse web. This tool outputs all the tracings for each image in XML format. The XML tracing files for all these seven layers for each of the above Nissl images are zipped into one file and can be downloaded. * Hippocampus VoxelDB: The 3D hippocampus reconstructed is volumetrically transformed into 16 micrometer sized voxels for all the seven layers. Each voxel is reported according to multiple coordinate systems, namely in Cartesian, along the natural hippocampal dimensions, and in reference to the canonical brain planes. The voxel database file is created in ascii format. The single voxel database file was split into three rar archive files. Please note that the three rar archive files should be downloaded and decompressed in a single directory in order to obtain the single voxel data file (Hippocampus-VoxelDB.txt). * 3D Surface Renderings: This is a rar archive file with a single VRML file containing the surface rendering of DG and CA layers. This VRML file can be opened and visualized in any VRML viewer, e.g. the open source software view3dscene. * 3D Hippocampus Movie: This movie contains visualization of the 3D surface renderings of CA (blue) and DG (red) inner and outer boundaries; neuronal embeddings of DG granule and CA pyramidal dendritic arbors; potential synapses between CA3b interneuron axon and pyramidal dendrite, and between CA2 pyramidal axon and CA pyramidal dendrites.
