MATLAB tool to effectively identify potential therapeutic targets and drugs in cancer using genetic network-based approaches. It can rapidly extract genetic interactions from a precompiled database stored as a MATLAB MAT-file without the need to interrogate remote SQL databases. Millions of interactions involving thousands of candidate genes can be mapped to the genetic network within minutes. While TARGETgene is currently based on the gene network reported in (Wu et al.,Bioinformatics 26:807-813, 2010), it can be easily extended to allow the optional use of other developed gene networks. The simple graphical user interface also enables rapid, intuitive mapping and analysis of therapeutic targets at the systems level. By mapping predictions to drug-target information, TARGETgene may be used as an initial drug screening tool that identifies compounds for further evaluation. In addition, TARGETgene is expected to be applicable to identify potential therapeutic targets for any type or subtype of cancers, even those rare cancers that are not genetically recognized. Identification of Potential Therapeutic Targets * Prioritize potential therapeutic targets from thousands of candidate genes generated from high-throughput experiments using network-based metrics * Validate predictions (prioritization) using user-defined benchmark genes and curated cancer genes * Explore biologic information of selected targets through external databases (e.g., NCBI Entrez Gene) and gene function enrichment analysis Initial Drug Screening * Identify for further evaluation existing drugs and compounds that may act on the potential therapeutic targets identified by TARGETgene * Explore general information on identified drugs of interest through several external links Operating System: Windows XP / Vista / 7

A package for writing fMRI analysis pipelines and interfacing with external analysis packages (SPM, FSL, AFNI). Current neuroimaging software offer users an incredible opportunity to analyze their data in different ways, with different underlying assumptions. However, this has resulted in a heterogeneous collection of specialized applications without transparent interoperability or a uniform operating interface. Nipype, an open-source, community-developed initiative under the umbrella of Nipy, is a Python project that solves these issues by providing a uniform interface to existing neuroimaging software and by facilitating interaction between these packages within a single workflow. Nipype provides an environment that encourages interactive exploration of algorithms from different packages (e.g., SPM, FSL), eases the design of workflows within and between packages, and reduces the learning curve necessary to use different packages. Nipype is creating a collaborative platform for neuroimaging software development in a high-level language and addressing limitations of existing pipeline systems.

PrimerParadise is an online PCR primer database for genomics studies. The database contains predesigned PCR primers for amplification of exons, genes and SNPs of almost all sequenced genomes. Primers can be used for genome-wide projects (resequencing, mutation analysis, SNP detection etc). The primers for eukaryotic genomes have been tested with e-PCR to make sure that no alternative products will be generated. Also, all eukaryotic primers have been filtered to exclude primers that bind excessively throughout the genome. Genes are amplified as amplicons. Amplicons are defined as only one genes exons containing maximaly 3000 bp long dna segments. If gene is longer than 3000 bp then it is split into the segments at length 3000 bp. So for example gene at length 5000 bp is split into two segment and for both segments there were designed a separate primerpair. If genes exons length is over 3000 bp then it is split into amplicons as well. Every SNP has one primerpair. In addition of considering repetitive sequences and mono-dinucleotide repeats, we avoid designing primers to genome regions which contain other SNPs. -There are two ways to search for primers: you can use features IDs ( for SNP primers Reference ID, for gene/exon primers different IDs (Ensembl gene IDs, HUGO IDs for human genes, LocusLink IDs, RefSeq IDs, MIM IDs, NCBI gene names, SWISSPROT IDs for bacterial genes, VEGA gene IDs for human and mouse, Sanger S.pombe systematic gene names and common gene names, S.cerevisiae GeneBanks Locus, AccNo, GI IDs and common gene names) -you can use genome regions (chromosome coordinates, chromosome bands if exists) -Currently we provide 3 primers collections: proPCR for prokaryotic organisms genes primers -euPCR for eukaryotic organisms genes/exons primers -snpPCR for eukaryotic organisms SNP primers Sponsors: PrimerStudio is funded by the University of Tartu.

The migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) is an orthopteran pest and a representative member of hemimetabolous insects. Its transcriptomic data provide invaluable information for molecular entomology study of the insect and pave a way for comparative studies of other medically, agronomically, and ecologically relevant insects. This first transcriptomic database of the locust (LocustDB) has been developed, building necessary infrastructures to integrate, organize, and retrieve data that are either currently available or to be acquired in the future. It currently hosts 45,474 high quality EST sequences from the locust, which were assembled into 12,161 unigenes. This database contains original sequence data, including homologous/orthologous sequences, functional annotations, pathway analysis, and codon usage, based on conserved orthologous groups (COG), gene ontology (GO), protein domain (InterPro), and functional pathways (KEGG). It also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode. LocustDB also provides information from comparative analysis based on data from the migratory locust and five other invertebrate species, such as the silkworm, the honeybee, the fruitfly, the mosquito and the nematode. It starts with the first transcriptome information for an orthopteran and hemimetabolous insect and will be extended to provide a framework for incorporation of in-coming genomic data of relevant insect groups and a workbench for cross-species comparative studies.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 29,2025. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded from invasive and scalp electrodes. The EEG database contains invasive EEG recordings of 21 patients suffering from medically intractable focal epilepsy. The data were recorded during an invasive pre-surgical epilepsy monitoring at the Epilepsy Center of the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany. In eleven patients, the epileptic focus was located in neocortical brain structures, in eight patients in the hippocampus, and in two patients in both. In order to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio, fewer artifacts, and to record directly from focal areas, intracranial grid-, strip-, and depth-electrodes were utilized. The EEG data were acquired using a Neurofile NT digital video EEG system with 128 channels, 256 Hz sampling rate, and a 16 bit analogue-to-digital converter. Notch or band pass filters have not been applied. For each of the patients, there are datasets called ictal and interictal, the former containing files with epileptic seizures and at least 50 min pre-ictal data. the latter containing approximately 24 hours of EEG-recordings without seizure activity. At least 24 h of continuous interictal recordings are available for 13 patients. For the remaining patients interictal invasive EEG data consisting of less than 24 h were joined together, to end up with at least 24 h per patient. An interdisciplinary project between: * Epilepsy Center, University Hospital Freiburg * Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN), Freiburg * Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM).
