Central repository for high quality frequently updated manual annotation of vertebrate finished genome sequence. Human, mouse and zebrafish are in the process of being completely annotated, whereas for other species the annotation is only of specific genomic regions of particular biological interest. The majority of the annotation is from the HAVANA group at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute. Users can BLAST, search for specific text, export, and download data. Genomes and details of the projects for each species are available through the homepages for human mouse and zebrafish. The website is built upon code from the EnsEMBL (http://www.ensembl.org) project. Some Ensembl features are not available in Vega. From the users point of view perhaps the most significant of these is MartView. However due to their inclusion in Ensembl, Vega human and mouse data can be queried using Ensembl MartView. Vega contains annotation of the human MHC region in eight haplotypes, and the LRC region in three haplotypes. Vega also contains annotation on the Insulin Dependent Diabetes (IDD) regions on non-reference assemblies for mouse.

An interdisciplinary group of scientists and clinicians who study the human brain using a variety of imaging, recording, and computational techniques. Their primary goal is to bridge non-invasive imaging technologies to the underlying neurophysiology of brain neuronal circuits for a better understanding of healthy human brain function, and mechanisms of disruption of this function in diseases such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy and stroke. The other goal of the MMIL is to develop and apply advanced imaging techniques to understanding the human brain and its disorders. In order to ground these methodological developments in their underlying neurobiology, invasive studies in humans and animals involving optical and micro physiological measures are also performed. These methodologies are applied to understanding normal function in sleep, memory and language, development and aging, and diseases such as dementia, epilepsy and autism.

An interactive, visual database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. More than 2/3 of these pathways (>280) are not found in any other pathway database. SMPDB is designed specifically to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology. It is able to do so, in part, by providing exquisitely detailed, fully searchable, hyperlinked diagrams of human metabolic pathways, metabolic disease pathways, metabolite signaling pathways and drug-action pathways. All SMPDB pathways include information on the relevant organs, subcellular compartments, protein cofactors, protein locations, metabolite locations, chemical structures and protein quaternary structures. Each small molecule is hyperlinked to detailed descriptions contained in the HMDB or DrugBank and each protein or enzyme complex is hyperlinked to UniProt. All SMPDB pathways are accompanied with detailed descriptions and references, providing an overview of the pathway, condition or processes depicted in each diagram. The database is easily browsed and supports full text, sequence and chemical structure searching. Users may query SMPDB with lists of metabolite names, drug names, genes / protein names, SwissProt IDs, GenBank IDs, Affymetrix IDs or Agilent microarray IDs. These queries will produce lists of matching pathways and highlight the matching molecules on each of the pathway diagrams. Gene, metabolite and protein concentration data can also be visualized through SMPDB''s mapping interface. All of SMPDB''s images, image maps, descriptions and tables are downloadable.

Devise better ways to prevent and treat vision loss due to amblyopia and strabismus, and to advance medical science by understanding the human visual system. Various Images, Videos and Talks related to the research are available. In the Laboratory for Visual Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco, we are seeking to discover how visual perception occurs in the human brain. The function of the visual system is to guide our behavior by providing an efficient means for the rapid assimilation of information from the environment. As we navigate through our surroundings, a continuous stream of light images impinges on our eyes. In the back of each eye a light-sensitive tissue, the retina, converts patterns of light energy into electrical discharges known as action potentials. These signals are conveyed along the axons of retinal ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate body, a relay nucleus in the thalamus. Most of the output of the lateral geniculate body is relayed directly to the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, V1), and then to surrounding visual association areas. To understand the function of the visual pathways, our research is focused on 5 major themes: * Organization of Primary Visual Cortex * Mapping of Extrastriate Visual Cortex * Amblyopia and Visual Development * Strabismus and Visual Suppression * The Human Visual Cortex
