Schizophrenia related portal that aims to solve the mystery of genetic predisposition to psychosis, develop new methods for early diagnosis and prevention, and discover new treatments that will cure people suffering from it. Our objectives are to fully characterize: # neurobiological mechanisms related to susceptibility genes for schizophrenia and related clinical disorders; # genetic variation in aspects of cognition and emotionality associated with schizophrenia; and # small molecular targets for novel therapies. A unique feature of this Program is that its diverse scientific resources will be focused on a highly specific scientific agenda, that is to acquire the critical biological information about the susceptibility genes associated with schizophrenia and related illnesses. Our mission and goal, to understand the basic mechanisms of serious mental illness, has again guided us into new areas of research and to new insights. We have found evidence of new genes implicated in the cause of schizophrenia and involved in brain functions related to cognition and emotion and we have begun to explore how genes interact with each other and with the environment to individualize risk for these conditions. We are working now with over 20 genes related to schizophrenia. One of the key developments in our research over the past year has been the emergence of some targets for the development of novel therapeutics. We have discovered a new schizophrenia susceptibility gene, KCNH2, which represents the first clear target for the development of novel treatments. Just in this past year, for example, we published the first extensive statistical analysis of how schizophrenia genes may vary in their risk effects based on different genetic background (Nicodemus et al Hum Gen 2006), the first studies of schizophrenia genes interacting in effecting gene expression in brain (Lipska et al Hum Mol Genetics 2006a, Lipska et al Hum Mol Gen 2006 b); the first evidence that the mechanism of genetic association of NRG1 with schizophrenia involves a novel isoform of the gene in human brain (Law et al PNAS 2006), and the first evidence that MAOA may be linked to mood and impulse control because it effects critical mood regulatory neural networks (Meyer-Lindenberg et al PNAS 2006).

Owl Monkey research portal that is a national resource providing owl monkeys of known genetic background, tissues, cell lines and biological fluids from owl monkeys, and a registry of normal values and reagents that can be used in studies that utilize owl monkeys. This is the only such resource for owl monkeys available to the NIH extramural grantee community and has expanded the mission of the Keeling Center's Neotropical Primate Breeding and Research Resource (NPBRR) to a second New World monkey genus. This resource helps meet the needs of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intramural malaria research program. The longer term goal, to create a self-sustaining breeding resource of owl monkeys, is being accomplished by applying expertise that has been developed at the NPBRR for owl monkeys with resource-related research that specifically focuses on reducing adult mortality and improving reproductive efficiency of the owl monkey. This project is helping address the need for resources of alternative primate species to reduce the demand for rhesus monkeys, which are in critically short supply. The OBMRR meets the needs of the biomedical research community in three ways: * It provides a national resource for laboratory-born owl monkeys. The resource provides tissues and biological fluids to investigators throughout the country, thus reducing the need for living animals for these studies. * It has an active research component that continues to add new information about the biology of the owl monkey, with a particular emphasis on reproduction and colony management. * The resource is a source of expertise for owl monkey biology, management and husbandry that can be accessed by anyone anytime.

The Hereditary Disease Foundation (HDF) aims to cure genetic illness by supporting basic biomedical research. The HDF was started by Dr. Milton Wexler in 1968 when his wife was diagnosed with Huntington''s disease (HD). The Foundation uses a variety of strategies - workshops, grants, fellowships, and targeted research contracts - to solve the mysteries of genetic disease and develop new treatments and cures. Huntington''s disease is a fatal, dominantly inherited, genetic, neurological disorder causing involuntary movements, severe emotional disturbance and progressive cognitive loss over ten to twenty years. Each child of an affected parent has a 50% risk of inheriting HD, usually in the third or fourth decade of life, though children as young as two years and adults in their eighties may also develop symptoms. The Hereditary Disease Foundation uses Huntington''s disease as a model for hereditary disease research because it is triggered by a mutation of one single gene. Progress toward treatment or a cure could be instrumental in finding ways to treat other illnesses with more complex genetics, including Parkinson''s, Alzheimer''s, Lou Gehrig''s disease (ALS), depression, schizophrenia, and cancer. The Hereditary Disease Foundation has given over $50 million to support pioneering research in genetics, gene therapy, molecular and cell biology, cell survival and death, animal models, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and other areas relevant to understanding inherited diseases. * Milton Wexler Workshop Program: A centerpiece of the Foundation is the interdisciplinary Workshop Program which sponsors Workshops held many times during the year. Milton Wexler began the Program to bring scientists together from different academic disciplines to brainstorm - without prepared lectures or slides - and explore new directions for research. They often share unpublished data. * Funding Opportunities ** The Basic Research Grants Program supports projects that contribute to identifying and understanding the fundamental defects in Huntington''s disease and related disorders. ** The John J. Wasmuth Postdoctoral Fellowships are named in honor of the late John Jacob Wasmuth, an essential member of the Huntington''s Disease Collaborative Research Group. Our hope is that those granted fellowships bearing his name will seek John''s level of imagination, rigor, creativity and spirit. ** The Lieberman Award is presented annually to a worthy scientist, thanks to the generosity of Harry Lieberman, a trustee of the Hereditary Disease Foundation. ** The Milton Wexler Postdoctoral Fellowship Award is named after the founder of the Hereditary Disease Foundation. The Hereditary Disease Foundation restricts this annual award to research highly relevant to curing Huntington''s disease. * Giving to the Hereditary Disease Foundation - Donations are accepted by check, credit card, etc.

http://ogeedb.embl.de/#summary

Online GEne Essentiality database containing genes that were tested experimentally for essentiality and their features; it also provides a set of tools to systematically explore and analyze these data. The main purpose of this project is to better understand gene essentiality by facilitating the comparisons of the differences and similarities between essential and non-essential genes. This is achieved by collecting not only experimentally tested essential and non-essential genes, but also associated gene features such as expression profiles, duplication status, conservation across species, evolutionary origins and involvement in embryonic development. We focus on large-scale experiments and complement our data with text-mining results. Genes are organized into data sets according to their sources. Genes with variable essentiality status across data sets are tagged as conditionally essential, highlighting the complex interplay between gene functions and environments. Linked tools allow the user to compare gene essentiality among different gene groups, or compare features of essential genes to non-essential genes, and visualize the results. Why is it different from existing databases? * we included both essential and non-essential genes so that we could better understand the gene essentiality by comparing the similarities and differences between the two gene sets; * we compiled a list of features for each gene, including whether they are duplicates or involved in development, the number of other homologous genes in the same genome, as well as their earliest expression stages during development. These features are keys to understand the essentiality of genes; * we also provide a set of tools to explore our data and visualize the results. For example, users can simply divide genes into two groups according to whether they are duplicates, calculate the proportion of essential genes (PE%) in each group and then visualize the results in a bar plot; or they can classify genes into multiple groups according to their earliest expression stages during evolution, compare the essentiality of genes that were expressed earlier with those were latter, and plot the results in a line chart.

http://athina.biol.uoa.gr/bioinformatics/PRED-GPCR/

A prediction tool for GPCR Family Classification from sequence alone based on a probabilistic method that uses family-specific profile Hidden Markov Models. The PRED-GPCR system is based on a probabilistic method that uses family specific profile HMMs in order to determine to which GPCR family a query sequence belongs or resembles. The approach proposed in this method exploits the descriptive power of profile HMMs along with an exhaustive discrimination assessment method to select only highly selective and sensitive profiles, for each family. The collection of these profiles constitutes a signature library, which is scanned, for significant matches with a given query sequence. The output report for a query sequence consists of two sections: * A ranked list of the profile HMM matches, below the selected individual motif E-value cutoff, along with their corresponding family. * A ranked list of the Combined P-values, E-values as well as the number of profiles matched for each family. To cross-evaluate your results you can browse through Swiss-Prot, Trembl, Pfam and Prosite family related entries.
