THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints after head injury, and accordingly, individuals may attempt to feign memory impairment or exaggerate symptoms of memory impairment. This free neuropsychological evaluation software contains some of the most common tests used to detect malingering of memory impairment. This software package contains a number of tests of declarative memory that assess recall of information that has a personal and temporal context. The typical example of declarative tests used for detecting malingering are the auditory verbal learning test and forced choice test. These tests are included in Symptom Validity along with other tests of declarative memory (e.g., prose recall, questionnaire tests). Unfortunately, classification of individuals is not completely accurate even with the use of multiple declarative memory tests. Thus, other tests that can complement previously used declarative memory measures by enhancing classification accuracy may be of great value to the neuropsychologist assessing the possibility of malingering. Your software contains two tests of nondeclarative memory that have been previously shown to be useful in the detection of malingered memory deficits (Davis et al., 1997a, 1997b). These tests take advantage of the general laypersons misunderstanding of the test performance of a truly memory impaired individual. That is, amnesic patients have been shown to perform normally on these nondeclarative memory tests and this is counterintuitive to the memory performance expectations of the general layperson. The nondeclarative tests included in Symptom Validity are two repetition priming tests of word stem completion and two tests of pattern categorization learning. Note: At this time this program will run only on Windows 98. We are currently working on a version that will run under the newer operating systems.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The modifiable n-Back test is free software presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. The task requires the participant to monitor some dimension (e.g. content, position, numerosity) of a temporally present sequence of items, responding when the currently presented item matches on the relevant dimension an item that was just recently presented. The match can be with an item present either 1 back, 2 back, 3 back or n back. Considerable flexibility is provided to the experimenter in specifying various parameters of the experiment (e.g. presentation rate, n back, content, position, color). The n-Back test is presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. (Shimamura, 2000) Watter, Geffen and Geffen (2001) based on their work with the P300 event-related-potential have suggested that the n-Back is a dual task in that latencies of the P300 did not change with increasing task difficulty, that is memory load while amplitude did reflecting in their view a reallocation of attention and processing capacity away from the matching subtask. The n-Back task is one in which the participant is presented a series of stimuli at a constant rate. The task of the participant is to determine if the currently presented stimulus is similar (along some dimension) to one they have recently (usually one, two or three positions back) seen in the stream. Match criteria can be dimensions like material, position on the screen, color or some combination. CATs n-Back allows for substantial control over the position in which the material is presented (nine different positions), the nature of the material (any character or dingbat string, and any color. The experimenter can set the speed at which the sequence is presented including both the stimulus on time and the inter-stimulus interval. Participant responses can be made either using the keyboard or the mouse. At this time no normative data is available for this test.

AltSplice is a computer generated high quality data set of human transcript-confirmed splice patterns, alternative splice events, and the associated annotations. This data is being integrated with other data that is generated by other members of the ASD consortium. The ASD project will provide the following in its three year duration: -human curated database of alternative spliced genes and their properties -a computer generated database of alternatively spliced genes and their properties -the integration of the above and newly found knowledge in a user-friendly interface and research workbench for both bioinformaticists and biologists -DNA chips that are based on the data in the above databases -the DNA chips will be used to test against predisposition for and diagnoses of human diseases ASD aims to analyse this mechanism on a genome-wide scale by creating a database that contains all alternatively spliced exons from human, and other model species. Disease causing mutations seem to induce aberrations in the process of splicing and its regulation. The ASD consortium will develop a DNA microarray (chip) that contains cDNAs of all the splicing regulatory proteins and their isoforms, as well as a chip that contains a number of disease relevant genes. We will concentrate on three models of disease (breast cancer, FTDP-17, male infertility) in which a connection between mis-splicing and a pathological state has been observed. Finally, these chips will be developed as demonstrative kits to detect predisposition for and diagnosis of such diseases.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. This is the official database of the environmental chlamydia genome project. This resource provides access to finished sequence for Parachlamydia-related symbiont UWE25 and to a wide range of manual annotations, automatical analyses and derived datasets. Functional classification and description has been manually annotated according to the Annotation guidelines. Chlamydiae are the major cause of preventable blindness and sexually transmitted disease. Genome analysis of a chlamydia-related symbiont of free-living amoebae revealed that it is twice as large as any of the pathogenic chlamydiae and had few signs of recent lateral gene acquisition. We showed that about 700 million years ago the last common ancestor of pathogenic and symbiotic chlamydiae was already adapted to intracellular survival in early eukaryotes and contained many virulence factors found in modern pathogenic chlamydiae, including a type III secretion system. Ancient chlamydiae appear to be the originators of mechanisms for the exploitation of eukaryotic cells. Environmental chlamydiae have recently been recognized as obligate endosymbionts of free-living amoebae and have been implicated as potential human pathogens. Environmental chlamydiae form a deep branching evolutionary lineage within the medically important order Chlamydiales. Despite their high diversity and ubiquitous distribution in clinical and environmental samples only limited information about genetics and ecology of these microorganisms is available. The Parachlamydia-related Acanthamoeba symbiont UWE25 was therefore selected as representative environmental chlamydia strain for whole genome sequencing. Comparative genome analysis was performed using PEDANT and simap. Sponsors: The environmental chlamydia genome project was funded by the bmb+f (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and is part of the Competence Network PathoGenoMiK.

http://chromium.lovd.nl/LOVD2/home.php?select_db=CDKN2A

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The CDKN2A Database presents the germline and somatic variants of the CDKN2A tumor suppressor gene recorded in human disease through June 2003, annotated with evolutionary, structural, and functional information, in a format that allows the user to either download it or manipulate it for their purposes online. The goal is to provide a database that can be used as a resource by researchers and geneticists and that aids in the interpretation of CDKN2A missense variants. Most online mutation databases present flat files that cannot be manipulated, are often incomplete, and have varying degrees of annotation that may or may not help to interpret the data. They hope to use CDKN2A as a prototype for integrating computational and laboratory data to help interpret variants in other cancer-related genes and other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found throughout the genome. Another goal of the lab is to interpret the functional and disease significance of missense variants in cancer susceptibility genes. Eventually, these results will be relevant to the interpretation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in general. The CDKN2A locus is a valuable model for assessing relationships among variation, structure, function, and disease because: Variants of this gene are associated with hereditary cancer: Familial Melanoma (and related syndromes); somatic alterations play a role in carcinogenesis; allelic variants occur whose functional consequences are unknown; reliable functional assays exist; and crystal structure is known. All variants in the database are recorded according to the nomenclature guidelines as outlined by the Human Genome Variation Society. This database is currently designed for research purposes only and is not yet recommended as a clinical resource. Many of the mutations reported here have not been tested for disease association and may represent normal, non-disease causing polymorphisms.
