THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 9,2022. Database of information about brain region circuitry, it collates data from the literature on tract tracing studies and provides tools for analysis and visualization of connectivity between brain regions., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
Software to detect breakpoints of large deletions, medium sized insertions, inversions, tandem duplications and other structural variants at single-based resolution from next-gen sequence data. It uses a pattern growth approach to identify the breakpoints of these variants from paired-end short reads., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
Software for the reliable and accurate identification of somatic point mutations in next generation sequencing data of cancer genomes.
Multi-purpose SNV calling software enhanced by probabilistic integration of quality scores.
Software for reliable Identification of Genomic Variants Using RNA-seq Data.
THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 6,2023. Tool designed to generate scaffolds (super contigs of sequences joined by N-bases) using the homology provided by a closely related reference sequence. Scaffold_builder is an advanced wrapper for Nucmer, written in Python that resolves several situations that may arise when mapping contigs to the reference genome.
Sogftware for fast Phylogenetic Scaffolding of Ancient Contigs.
Interactive demonstrations of sensory perception phenomena from Dale Purves' website. You may read the empirical explanations and download high resolution images.

The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Emery University maintains an active brain bank to facilitate the acquisition, storage, handling and distribution of well-characterized autopsy brain tissue and other materials to investigators. It contains frozen tissue and brain specimens, formalin fixed tissue, paraformaldehyde fixed tissue, and cryopreserved tissue. The ADRC also has access to tissues and samples related to other neurodegenerative diseases. It contains plasma samples, serum samples, lymphoblast cell lines, and cerebrospinal fluid.
NDRI is a Not-For-Profit (501c3) Corporation dedicated to providing the highest quality human biomaterials for research. NDRI makes it easy for researchers to get the human tissues and organs they need, prepared, preserved and shipped precisely according to their specific scientific protocols, as quickly as possible, and in the largest available quantities. NDRI provides researchers with protocol specific human neurological tissues such as brain stem, spinal cord, and basal ganglia, among others. In addition to control specimens, NDRI recovers tissues from donors with a variety of diseases, including Down syndrome, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, schizophrenia, and dementia. Through the NDRI 24/7 referral and procurement system, research consented biospecimens can be provided from low post mortem interval donors preserved at 4ºC, frozen or snap frozen, fixed, paraffin embedded, or as unstained slides.
A non-profit organization that facilitates the donation of tissues. It supports healthcare agencies, coroners, medical examiners and funeral professionals through donations and training, as well as partnering with organizations that utilize tissue in medical care and research.
A nonprofit organ procurement agency based in Iowa. The organization facilitates both organ and tissue recovery in cooperation with local hospitals. The network also works to support public education, hospital development and family support services.
A neuroscience PhD program based at Indiana University that focuses on technical skills and the conceptual framework needed to puruse a career of research and/or teaching in neuroscience. Faculty of the neuroscience department fall into one of four areas of research: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience and Clinical and Translational Neuroscience.
An archived portal of clinical studies, both ongoing and completed, that have been conducted and supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) since 1970. The portal covers corneal diseases, glaucoma, epidemiology, lens and cataract, retinal diseases, strabismus, amblyopia and visual processing.
A weekly podcast hosted by Steve Mirsky on topics relating to developments in science and technology through interviews with leading scientists and journalists. This podcast is affiliated with Scientific American.
A program designed for the efficient mapping of sequence reads onto genomic references. The software is capable of reading most sequencing platforms and giving a range of outputs are supported.
A software to provide small tools for common processing tasks for LC/MS data. It is an extension to the metabolomics analysis pipeline mzMatch.R. The software is modular, open source, platform independent and written in Java.
THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 1, 2023. Asterand, Inc., the Detroit-based supplier of human tissue products and services, announces the distribution of eleven breast cancer cell lines, derived at the University of Michigan. The University has agreed to license the marketing of the breast cancer cell lines, known as the SUM lines, through Asterand in an effort to provide an exceptional tool to a broad base of researchers studying the disease. There are an estimated 1.2 million new diagnoses worldwide of breast cancer each year. The cell lines can be used to study all aspects of breast cancer biology, from new drug target identification to cell signaling to effects of novel drugs on cellular proliferation.
