Part of zebrafish genome project. ZGC project to produce cDNA libraries, clones and sequences to provide complete set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for zebrafish. All ZGC sequences are deposited in GenBank and clones can be purchased from distributors of IMAGE consortium. With conclusion of ZGC project in September 2008, GenBank records of ZGC sequences will be frozen, without further updates. Since definition of what constitutes full-length coding region for some of genes and transcripts for which we have ZGC clones will likely change in future, users planning to order ZGC clones will need to monitor for these changes. Users can make use of genome browsers and gene-specific databases, such as UCSC Genome browser, NCBI's Map Viewer, and Entrez Gene, to view relevant regions of genome (browsers) or gene-related information (Entrez Gene).

Publications from a multi-center, longitudinal, observational study examining the risk factors associated with the long-term complications of type 1 diabetes. The study began in 1994 and follows the 1441 participants previously enrolled in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/control/index.aspx. The primary aim of EDIC is to examine the long-term effects of conventional vs. intensive diabetes treatment received during the DCCT on the subsequent development and progression of microvascular, neuropathic and cardiovascular complications. This involves studying the influence of genetic factors and other factors such as HbA1c, blood pressure, lipid levels, and treatment modalities on the development and progression of these complications. Annual or biennial measurements (using DCCT methods, standardized protocols and central laboratories) of vascular events, albumin excretion, GFR, ECG, ankle-brachial BP index, serum lipids and HbA1c allows the following analyses: 1) continuation of intention-to-treat analyses to determine long-term effects of prior separation of glycemic levels; 2) risk factors for macrovascular outcomes; 3) correlation of progression of micro- and macrovascular outcomes. The current updated version of the EDIC Protocol is available for download. EDIC is made up of 28 clinical centers, one data coordinating center and one clinical coordinating center.

Study consisting of nine liver transplant centers with expertise in adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and a central data coordinating center to provide valuable information on the outcomes of adult to adult living donor liver transplantation (AALDLT) to aid decisions made by physicians, patients, and potential donors. The study will establish and maintain the infrastructure required to accrue and follow sufficient numbers of patients being considered for and undergoing AALDLT to provide generalizable data from adequately powered studies. The major aims of A2ALL are as follows: * Quantify the impact of choosing LDLT on the candidate for transplantation * Characterize the difference between LDLT and deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) in terms of post-transplant outcomes, including patient and graft survival, surgical morbidity, and resource utilization on the recipient of a transplant * Determine the short- and long-term health and quality of life (QOL) impact of donation, including (a) morbidity after liver donation and (b) long-term health-related QOL of donors. * Standardize and assess the role of informed consent in affecting the decision to donate and satisfaction after living liver donation * Other aims include comparison of the severity of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma for DDLT versus LDLT, the systematic characterization of liver regeneration and function in donors and recipients, the evaluation of the differences in the immune response to LDLT versus DDLT, and the establishment of a robust data and sample repository on liver transplantation that may be used to study clinical and biological questions as new technologies and resources become available. Patients enrolled in the study will be followed and managed in a standardized fashion.

Multi-center randomized clinical trial to determine if the addition of behavioral treatment to drug therapy for the treatment of urge incontinence will make it possible to discontinue the drug and still maintain a reduced number of accidents. The most popular treatments for urge incontinence are drug therapy and behavior therapy, each with its own limitations. In this clinical study, the Urinary Incontinence Treatment Network (UITN) aims to determine differences with the addition of behavioral treatment to drug therapy alone.

Standardization of c-peptide by calibrating C-peptide measurement to a reference method can increase comparability between laboratories. The C-peptide standardization program is supported to establish reliability in results and facilitate the conduct of international clinical trials. For c-peptide, purified or processed material shows significant matrix effects and cannot be used for calibration. The C-peptide program has evaluated the use of single donor and pooled specimens for use by manufacturers in the calibration of these assays and determined that this strategy will reduce C-peptide variability among different assay methods. The standardization process through manufacturer re-calibration is ongoing.

Primary prevention trial conducted in 42 middle schools at 7 locations across the US to impact risk factors for type 2 diabetes in adolescents. Students were recruited at the start of 6th grade (fall 2006) and followed to the end of 8th grade (spring 2009). Half of the schools were randomized to receive an intervention that integrated four components: the school nutrition environment, physical education class activities, behavior change initiatives, and educational and promotional communications activities.

Randomized, double blind, nationwide clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of three interventions to treat adolescents and youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D): (1) metformin alone, (2) metformin plus rosiglitazone, and (3) metformin plus an intensive lifestyle intervention called the TODAY Lifestyle Program (TLP). The secondary aims are to: compare and evaluate the safety of the three treatment arms; compare the effects of the three treatments on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with regards to beta cell function and insulin resistance, body composition, nutrition, physical activity and aerobic fitness, cardiovascular risk factors, microvascular complications, quality of life, and psychological outcomes; evaluate the influence of individual and family behaviors on treatment response; and compare the relative cost effectiveness of the three treatment arms. The study recruits patients over a three-year period and follows patients for a minimum of two years. Patients are randomized within two years of the diagnosis of T2D. Materials that were used for the study are made publicly available: * The TODAY Standard Diabetes Education (TSDE) program, developed especially for youth with type 2 diabetes. (All participants received the TSDE program) * The TODAY Lifestyle Program (TLP) that was among the treatments tested.
