A statewide consortium dedicated to Alzheimer's disease research to better understand the disease and related memory disorders. It includes Alzheimer's researchers and clinicians from institutions across Florida such as USF Health, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, and Mount Sinai Medical Center. The purpose of the ADRC is to assist institutions in developing an infrastructure (cores) that can be used for various research projects with the goal of better understanding Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. The Florida ADRC is comprised of six cores, three projects and three pilot projects among other collaborations that utilize these cores.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/viralfusionseq/
A versatile high-throughput sequencing (HTS) tool for discovering viral integration events and reconstruct fusion transcripts at single-base resolution. It combines soft-clipping information, read-pair analysis, and targeted de novo assembly to discover and annotate viral-human fusion events. A simple yet effective empirical statistical model is used to evaluate the quality of fusion breakpoints. Minimal user defined parameters are required.

A brain bank which provides brain tissue for interdisciplinary research in neurochemical, anatomical, epidemiological and clinical aspects of Alzheimer's disease. It provides brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and healthy elderly brain donors to investigators who are helping further the understanding of Alzheimer's disease through research. It also gives family members of Alzheimer's patients the opportunity to obtain a confirmed diagnosis through brain autopsy. Through this program, families of individuals with either a clinical diagnosis, or those with suspected Alzheimer's disease, grant permission for a brain autopsy to be performed immediately after death.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 31, 2016. The UMKC Neuroscience Brain Tissue Bank and Research Laboratory has been established to obtain, process, and distribute human brain tissue to qualified scientists and clinicians dedicated to neuroscience research. No other living organ approaches the human brain in complexity or capacity. Healthy, it astounds and inspires miracles. Diseased, it confounds and diminishes hope. The use of human brain tissue for research will provide insight into the anatomical and neurochemical aspects of diseased and non-diseased brains. While animal models are helpful and necessary in understanding disease, certain disorders can be more efficiently studied using human brain tissue. Also, modern research techniques are often best applied to human tissue. We also need samples of brain tissue that have not been affected by disease. They help us to compare a 'normal' brain with a diseased one. Also, we have a critical need for brain donations from relatives who have genetically inherited disorders. Tissue preparation consists of fresh quick-frozen tissue blocks or coronal slices (nitrogen vapor frozen; custom dissection of specific anatomic regions) or formalin-fixed coronal slices (custom dissection of specific anatomic regions).

http://variant.bioinfo.cipf.es/
Analysis tool that can report the functional properties of any variant in all the human, mouse or rat genes (and soon new model organisms will be added) and the corresponding neighborhoods. Also other non-coding extra-genic regions, such as miRNAs are included in the analysis. It not only reports the obvious functional effects in the coding regions but also analyzes noncoding SNVs situated both within the gene and in the neighborhood that could affect different regulatory motifs, splicing signals, and other structural elements. These include: Jaspar regulatory motifs, miRNA targets, splice sites, exonic splicing silencers, calculations of selective pressures on the particular polymorphic positions, etc. Software analysis pipelines used in the analysis of NGS data are highly modular, heterogeneous, and rapidly evolving. VARIANT can easily be incorporated into a NGS resequencing pipeline either as a CLI or invoked a webservice. It inputs data directly from the most widely used programs for SNV detection., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://seqant.genetics.emory.edu/
A free web service and open source software package that performs rapid, automated annotation of DNA sequence variants (single base mutations, insertions, deletions) discovered with any sequencing platform. Variant sites are characterized with respect to their functional type (Silent, Replacement, 5' UTR, 3' UTR, Intronic, Intergenic), whether they have been previously submitted to dbSNP, and their evolutionary conservation. Annotated variants can be viewed directly on the web browser, downloaded in a tab delimited text file, or directly uploaded in a Browser Extended Data (BED) format to the UCSC genome browser. SeqAnt further identifies all loci harboring two or more coding sequence variants that help investigators identify potential compound heterozygous loci within exome sequencing experiments. In total, SeqAnt resolves a significant bottleneck by allowing an investigator to rapidly prioritize the functional analysis of those variants of interest.

Biorepository of tissues and fluids relevant for the neurologic, neuropsychologic, psychiatric and neuropathologic manifestations of HIV infection, linked to medical records and an on-going clinical trial for research use by the scientific community. The MHBB conducts a longitudinal, observational study that follows a group of HIV-infected individuals who have agreed to be fluid and organ donors for the purposes of AIDS research. They are currently the largest, multidisciplinary neuroAIDS cohort in New York City, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Research participants undergo regular neurologic, neuropsychologic, and psychiatric evaluations, and provide body fluid samples that are linked to clinical information. Upon their demise, study participants become organ donors. This program has supplied clinical information, tissue, and fluid samples to over 70 qualified AIDS researchers across America, Europe and Australia. In fulfilling its resource mission, the MHBB functions as part of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). MHBB provides a means by which people living with HIV can be engaged in the struggle to improve our knowledge about HIV infection and the damage it causes to the body.
