THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on May 16, 2016. The establishment of open access literature makes it possible for knowledge to be extracted from scholarly articles and included in other resources. BioLit aims to extract database identifiers and rich meta-data from open access articles in the life sciences and integrate that information with existing biological databases. We have begun prototyping this effort using a clone of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, a database of macromolecular structures. Cyberinfrastructure is integral to all aspects of conducting experimental research and distributing those results. However, it has yet to make a similar impact on the way we communicate that information. Peer-reviewed publications have long been the currency of scientific research as they are the fundamental unit through which scientists communicate with and evaluate each other. However, in striking contrast to the data, publications have yet to benefit from the opportunities offered by cyberinfrastructure. While the means of distributing publications has vastly improved, publishers have done little else to capitalize on the electronic medium. In particular, semantic information describing the content of these publications is sorely lacking, as is the integration of this information with data in public repositories. This is confounding considering that many basic tools for marking-up and integrating publication content in this manner already exist, such as a centralized literature database, relevant ontologies, and machine-readable document standards. We believe that the research community is ripe for a revolution in scientific communication and that the current generation of scientists will be the one to push it forward. These scientists, generally graduate students and new post-docs and have grown up with cyberinfrastructure as a part of their daily lives, not just a specialized aspect of their profession. They have a natural ability to do science in an electronic environment without the need for printed publications or static documents and, in fact, can feel quite limited by the traditional format of a publication. Perhaps most importantly, they appreciate that the sheer amount of data and the number of publications is prohibitive to the traditional methods of keeping current with the literature.

http://griffin.cbrc.jp/

Griffin (G-protein-receptor interacting feature finding instrument) is a high-throughput system to predict GPCR - G-protein coupling selectively with the input of GPCR sequence and ligand molecular weight. This system consists of two parts: 1) HMM section using family specific multiple alignment of GPCRs, 2) SVM section using physico-chemical feature vectors in GPCR sequence. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), which is composed of seven transmembrane helices, play a role as interface of signal transduction. The external stimulation for GPCR, induce the coupling with G-protein (Gi/o, Gq/11, Gs, G12/13) followed by different kinds of signal transduction to inner cell. About half of distributed drugs are intending to control this GPCR - G-protein binding system, and therefore this system is important research target for the development of effective drug. For this purpose, it is necessary to monitor, effectively and comprehensively, of the activation of G-protein by identifying ligand combined with GPCR. Since, at present, it is difficult to construct such biochemical experiment system, if the answers for experimental results can be prepared beforehand by using bioinformatics techniques, large progress is brought to G-protein related drug design. Previous works for predicting GPCR-G protein coupling selectivity are using sequence pattern search, statistical models, and HMM representations showed high sensitivity of predictions. However, there are still no works that can predict with both high sensitivity and specificity. In this work we extracted comprehensively the physico-chemical parameters of each part of ligand, GPCR and G-protein, and choose the parameters which have strong correlation with the coupling selectivity of G-protein. These parameters were put as a feature vector, used for GPCR classification based on SVM.

http://www.ini.uzh.ch/

The mission of the Institute is to discover the key principles by which brains work and to implement these in artificial systems that interact intelligently with the real world. The Institute of Neuroinformatics is built of many people covering a wide range of disciplines and research areas. The major research projects and areas are listed below. - Behavior and Cognition: At the Institute of Neuroinformatics researchers investigate in Behavior and Cognition on various levels, ranging from neuronal circuit models of learning and adaptation over psychophysical experiments for color constancy up to modeling complex behavioral tasks such as exploration and goal-directed navigation. - Computation in Neural Circuits: By examining the brains of cats, rats and monkeys, and by making simulations of the cortex, INI hopes to learn how this circuit performs such widely different tasks. This knowledge might lead to advances in how computers are designed, and will certainly lead to advances in the subtlety and power of medical neuroscience. - Neurotechnologies: INI aims to harness the principles of biological computation, which can be expected to have a major impact on the technology market as autonomous intelligence pervades equipment, vehicles, buildings, utilities and clothing. Sponsors: INI is supported by European Union (EU), Gerbert Ruf Stiftung, Neuroscience Center (ZNZ), Swiss Confederation (KTI), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), University of Zurich (UZH), and VW Stiftung
