http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu

Portal to neuroanatomical information on the Web that helps you identify structures in the brain and provides a variety of information about each structure by porting you to the best of 1500 web pages at 100 other neuroscience sites. BrainInfo consists of three basic components: NeuroNames, a developing database of definitions of neuroanatomic structures in four species, their most common acronyms and their names in eight languages; NeuroMaps, a digital atlas system based on 3-D canonical stereotaxic atlases of rhesus macaque and mouse brains and programs that enable one to map data to standard surface and cross-sectional views of the brains for presentation and publication; and the NeuroMaps precursor: Template Atlas of the Primate Brain, a 2-D stereotaxic atlas of the longtailed (fascicularis) macaque brain that shows the locations of some 250 architectonic areas of macaque cortex. The NeuroMaps atlases will soon include a number of overlays showing the locations of cortical areas and other neuroscientific data in the standard frameworks of the macaque and mouse atlases. Viewers are encouraged to use NeuroNames as a stable source of unique standard terms and acronyms for brain structures in publications, illustrations and indexing systems; to use templates extracted from the NeuroMaps macaque and mouse brain atlases for presenting neuroscientific information in image format; and to use the Template Atlas for warping to MRIs or PET scans of the macaque brain to estimate the stereotaxic locations of structures.

http://sig.biostr.washington.edu/projects/fm/

A domain ontology that represents a coherent body of explicit declarative knowledge about human anatomy. It is concerned with the representation of classes or types and relationships necessary for the symbolic representation of the phenotypic structure of the human body in a form that is understandable to humans and is also navigable, parseable and interpretable by machine-based systems. Its ontological framework can be applied and extended to all other species. The description of how the OWL version was generated is in Pushing the Envelope: Challenges in a Frame-Based Representation of Human Anatomy by N. F. Noy, J. L. Mejino, C. Rosse, M. A. Musen: http://bmir.stanford.edu/publications/view.php/pushing_the_envelope_challenges_in_a_frame_based_representation_of_human_anatomy The Foundational Model of Anatomy ontology has four interrelated components: # Anatomy taxonomy (At), # Anatomical Structural Abstraction (ASA), # Anatomical Transformation Abstraction (ATA), # Metaknowledge (Mk), The ontology contains approximately 75,000 classes and over 120,000 terms; over 2.1 million relationship instances from over 168 relationship types link the FMA's classes into a coherent symbolic model.

http://portal.ncibi.org/gateway/mimiplugin.html

The Cytoscape MiMI Plugin is an open source interactive visualization tool that you can use for analyzing protein interactions and their biological effects. The Cytoscape MiMI Plugin couples Cytoscape, a widely used software tool for analyzing bimolecular networks, with the MiMI database, a database that uses an intelligent deep-merging approach to integrate data from multiple well-known protein interaction databases. The MiMI database has data on 119,880 molecules, 330,153 interactions, and 579 complexes. By querying the MiMI database through Cytoscape you can access the integrated molecular data assembled in MiMI and retrieve interactive graphics that display protein interactions and details on related attributes and biological concepts. You can interact with the visualization by expanding networks to the next nearest neighbors and zooming and panning to relationships of interest. You also can perceptually encode nodes and links to show additional attributes through color, size and the visual cues. You can edit networks, link out to other resources and tools, and access information associated with interactions that has been mined and summarized from the research literature information through a biology natural language processing database (BioNLP) and a multi-document summarization system, MEAD. Additionally, you can choose sub-networks of interest and use SAGA, a graph matching tool, to match these sub-networks to biological pathways.

http://protege.stanford.edu

Protege is a free, open-source platform that provides a growing user community with a suite of tools to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies. At its core, Protege implements a rich set of knowledge-modeling structures and actions that support the creation, visualization, and manipulation of ontologies in various representation formats. Protege can be customized to provide domain-friendly support for creating knowledge models and entering data. Further, Protege can be extended by way of a plug-in architecture and a Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) for building knowledge-based tools and applications. An ontology describes the concepts and relationships that are important in a particular domain, providing a vocabulary for that domain as well as a computerized specification of the meaning of terms used in the vocabulary. Ontologies range from taxonomies and classifications, database schemas, to fully axiomatized theories. In recent years, ontologies have been adopted in many business and scientific communities as a way to share, reuse and process domain knowledge. Ontologies are now central to many applications such as scientific knowledge portals, information management and integration systems, electronic commerce, and semantic web services. The Protege platform supports two main ways of modeling ontologies: * The Protege-Frames editor enables users to build and populate ontologies that are frame-based, in accordance with the Open Knowledge Base Connectivity protocol (OKBC). In this model, an ontology consists of a set of classes organized in a subsumption hierarchy to represent a domain's salient concepts, a set of slots associated to classes to describe their properties and relationships, and a set of instances of those classes - individual exemplars of the concepts that hold specific values for their properties. * The Protege-OWL editor enables users to build ontologies for the Semantic Web, in particular in the W3C's Web Ontology Language (OWL). An OWL ontology may include descriptions of classes, properties and their instances. Given such an ontology, the OWL formal semantics specifies how to derive its logical consequences, i.e. facts not literally present in the ontology, but entailed by the semantics. These entailments may be based on a single document or multiple distributed documents that have been combined using defined OWL mechanisms (see the OWL Web Ontology Language Guide). Protege is based on Java, is extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment that makes it a flexible base for rapid prototyping and application development.

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//

A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.
