Project whose aim is to produce a robust phylogeny of all the deepest branches within a mega-diverse group, the spiders, by combining a massive amount of newly generated comparative genomic data with a substantial set of new and re-assessed data on morphology and behavior. They propose to collect a huge amount of genomic information in order to test and improve the results achieved by over 50 detailed morphological cladistic analyses conducted by more than 30 investigators during the past 15 years. The insignificant amount of genomic work to date on spiders has been uncoordinated and of little utility for broad-scale phylogenetic investigation. The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing, however, makes it feasible to examine substantial parts of the genome across a dense sampling of spider taxa. They propose to sequence at least 50 loci (genome samples of 500-1,000 or more base pairs that can be sequenced as single pieces in both directions simultaneously) for representatives of at least 500 genera of spiders and their closest relatives (the whipscorpion orders Amblypygi, Uropygi, and Schizomida). These genera will be carefully selected by a sampling strategy designed to maximize the resolution of deep branches within spider phylogeny, and will purposefully include all the previously most-favored study organisms of ethologists, ecologists, physiologists, and developmental and molecular biologists, thus integrating and contextualizing their research. Data matrices will be produced that combine the new genomic data with a new, comprehensive survey of morphological and behavioral homologies, offering a unique index to all comparative data on one large group. New computer software, designed in large part by members of their group and using massively parallel processing to achieve supercomputing capability, makes such analyses feasible.

The Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM) allows one to model, analyze, and visualize transcriptional gene regulation dynamics. The method of DREM takes as input time series gene expression data and static transcription factor-gene interaction data (e.g. ChIP-chip data), and produces as output a dynamic regulatory map. The dynamic regulatory map highlights major bifurcation events in the time series expression data and transcription factors potentially responsible for them. DREM 2.0 was released and supports a number of new features including: * new static binding data for mouse, human, D. melanogaster, A. thaliana * a new and more flexible implementation of the IOHMM supports dynamic binding data for each time point or as a mix of static/dynamic TF input * expression levels of TFs can be used to improve the models learned by DREM * the motif finder DECOD can be used in conjuction with DREM and help find DNA motifs for unannotated splits * new features for the visualization of expressed TFs, dragging boxes in the model view, and switching between representations

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jernst/stem/

The Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) is a Java program for clustering, comparing, and visualizing short time series gene expression data from microarray experiments (~8 time points or fewer). STEM allows researchers to identify significant temporal expression profiles and the genes associated with these profiles and to compare the behavior of these genes across multiple conditions. STEM is fully integrated with the Gene Ontology (GO) database supporting GO category gene enrichment analyses for sets of genes having the same temporal expression pattern. STEM also supports the ability to easily determine and visualize the behavior of genes belonging to a given GO category or user defined gene set, identifying which temporal expression profiles were enriched for these genes. (Note: While STEM is designed primarily to analyze data from short time course experiments it can be used to analyze data from any small set of experiments which can naturally be ordered sequentially including dose response experiments.) Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.autopack.org/

An open-source general packing algorithm that packs 3D objects onto surfaces, into volumes, and around volumes. It provides a general architecture to allow various packing algorithms to interoperate efficiently in the same model. autoPack can incorporate any packing solution into its modular python program architecture, but is currently optimized to provide a novel solution to the loose packing problem which places objects of discrete size into place (compared to advancing front, popcorn, or other fast tight-packing solutions that allow objects to scale to arbitrary masses.) Most popular 3D software programs now contain robust physics engines based on Bullet that can separate small collections of overlapping objects or allow volumes to be filled by pouring shapes from generators, but these approaches fails for large complex systems and result in either overlapping geometry, crashed software, or non-random gradients. Most packing algorithms are designed to position objects as efficiently as possible, but autoPack allows the user to select from random loose packing to highly organized packing methods����??even to choose both methods at the same time. autoPack positions 3D geometries into, onto, and around volumes with minimal to zero overlap. autoPack mixes several packing approaches and procedural growth algorithms. autoPack can thus place objects with forces and constraints to allow a high degree of control ranging from completely random distributions to highly ordered structures. * zero to minimal overlaps depending on the method used * accuracy vs speed parameters selected by the user * zero edge effects * complete control, from fully random to fully ordered distributions * agent-based interaction, weighting, and collision control
