Implemented under MATLAB, this DTI image processing toolbox provides import-filters for several MR file standards, a processing unit to calculate the diffusion tensors; several GUI based tools to calculate fiber tracks and to evaluate the DTI dataset. The results can be filed as images with 3D impression or can be logged in formatted ASCII files. Tools and features: * DTI Processing Unit: Calculates the diffusion tensors and their eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Different file formats are supported (like DICOM, Bruker, binary files, Matlab structures). The standard SIEMENS and GE diffusion encoding schemes are supported; other schemes have to be defined in a separate text, .m or .mat file. * FiberTracking: ** Fiber tracking is realized by using the FACT algorithm (Mori et al., Annal. Neurol 1999). ** Probabilistic tracking realized by using the PiCo (Parker et al., JMRI 2003) approach but with DTI data as basis. It is possible to extract pathways between two seeds by combining two maps (Kreher et al., NeuroImage 2008). ** Global Fiber Tracking on basis of HARDI or DTI data. The method is based on the approach reported in (Marco Reisert et al: Global fiber reconstruction becomes practical. NeuroImage 54(2):955-62) * FiberViewer: ** Visualization and Navigation through different data modalities like DTI maps, fiber tracks, diffusion main directions. ** Supports different kinds of DTI maps (e.g. FA, Trace, lambda images ) ** Creation and manipulation of mask based ROIs. ** Selection of streamline fibers ** Visualization of probabilistic fiber tracking results ** Documentation by logging statistics of ROIs and fiber tracks into text files. ** Import/Export from/to ANALYZE or Nifti * 3D Visualizer: Visualization of map slices, ROIs, and fiber tracks with 3D impression. * Batch Editor: Automatic processing of high amounts of data. Possibility to link processing with SPM8 easily.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. AOBase is a database for antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) selection and design. AOBase is a database developed to facilitate Antisense Oligonucleotides (ODNs) selection for gene expression modulation and to provide a free data source for computer aided ODNs design. Information about valid and invalid ODNs reported in literature are collected and stored in the database, including oligo sequences, target sequences, secondary structures of the target sites, oligo activity measured, and the assay type used for activity measurement. The details on target RNA molecules and reference literature can be explored through the hyperlinks linked to GenBank and PubMed respectively. Each record can be searched for via two web retrieval interfaces: 1) TargetSearch interface, which allows users to query ODNs by name, accession number, or only imprecise descriptions of its target RNA; 2) AOSearch interface, which allows users to search ODNs with several parameters combined, such as oligo activity measured, oligo concentration applied, and motifs involved in oligo sequences. With these two retrieval interfaces, AOBase can be used to select effective ODNs for gene function exploration without expensive in vitro screening experiments, and contribute to mining rules for rational ODNs design. A user friendly interface to encourage data submission is provided.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/TCC.html

An R package that provides a series of functions for differential expression analysis from RNA-seq count data using robust normalization strategy (called DEGES). The basic idea of DEGES is that potential differentially expressed genes or transcripts (DEGs) among compared samples should be removed before data normalization to obtain a well-ranked gene list where true DEGs are top-ranked and non-DEGs are bottom ranked. This can be done by performing a multi-step normalization strategy (called DEGES for DEG elimination strategy). A major characteristic of TCC is to provide the robust normalization methods for several kinds of count data (two-group with or without replicates, multi-group/multi-factor, and so on) by virtue of the use of combinations of functions in other sophisticated packages (especially edgeR, DESeq, and baySeq).

Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a simple and straightforward approach for in vivo incorporation of a label into proteins for mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics. SILAC relies on metabolic incorporation of a given "light" or "heavy" form of the amino acid into the proteins. The method relies on the incorporation of amino acids with substituted stable isotopic nuclei (e.g. deuterium, 13C, 15N). In an experiment, two cell populations are grown in culture media that are identical except that one of them contains a "light" and the other a "heavy" form of a particular amino acid (e.g. 12C and 13C labeled L-lysine, respectively). When the labeled analog of an amino acid is supplied to cells in culture instead of the natural amino acid, it is incorporated into all newly synthesized proteins. After a number of cell divisions, each instance of this particular amino acid will be replaced by its isotope labeled analog. Since there is hardly any chemical difference between the labeled amino acid and the natural amino acid isotopes, the cells behave exactly like the control cell population grown in the presence of normal amino acid. It is efficient and reproducible as the incorporation of the isotope label is 100%. SILAC Applications: - Differential expression of proteins and identification of disease biomarkers - Cell signaling dynamics - Analysis of yeast pheromone signaling pathway - Identification of methylation sites - Identification of protease substrates - Study of protein complexes/protein interactions - Analysis of signaling pathways and effect of pharmacological inhibitors - Subcellular proteomics Sponsors: Supported in part by an NIH Roadmap grant Technology Center for Networks & Pathways of Lysine Modification.

Software toolbox that manages your RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data and also produces many different plots to visualize your data. It performs several tasks that are usually required during the analysis of mapped RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq reads, including data selection and data visualization. It includes the selection (or the exclusion) of the data that overlaps with a reference set, clustering and comparative analysis. It also provides many ways to visualize data: size of the reads, density on the genome, distance with respect to a reference set, and the correlation of two data sets (with cloud plots). A computer science background is not required to run it through a graphical interface and it can be run on any personal computer, yielding results within an hour for most queries.

Dendritica is a program package for relating dendritic geometry and signal propagation. The programs are based on those used for the simulations described in the following paper: Vetter, P., Roth, A. & Husser, M. (2001). Action potential propagation in dendrites depends on dendritic morphology. Journal of Neurophysiology, 85: 926-937. Dendritica can functionally be divided into three main parts: - Interactive morphological analysis and electrophysiological simulation of single cells - Automated batch simulations across a set of morphologies using the same simulation parameters - Automated analysis of batch simulation runs Dendritica requires NEURON 4.1.1 with some modifications described in Appendix 1. It was tested for NEURON 4.1.1 on Linux and SGI IRIX. Some modifications to the Dendritica code may be necessary in order to run it on older or newer versions of NEURON. Sponsors: This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust, the European Community, the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, the Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD Programme in Neuroscience.
