The 16 affiliated Model System centers throughout the United States are responsible for gathering and submitting the core data set to the national database as well as conducting research studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI) both in collaboration with the other centers and within our own site. Through our research we hope to learn more about TBI and about the issues and concerns of people with TBI. Our goals are to improve the outcome and quality of life for people who have had brain injuries and for those who are caring for the person with a TBI. The North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (NT-TBIMS) pools the efforts and talents of individuals from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry (Neuropsychiatry), and Neuroradiology of the two leading medical institutions in the North Texas region. To be a patient involved in the research being conducted by the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System you must have suffered a TBI, be at least 16 years of age, have received initial treatment for the TBI at either Parkland Health and Hospital System or Baylor University Medical Center and then have received rehabilitative care at either Parkland, University Hospital Zale-Lipshy, or Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation. The patient must also be able to understand and sign an informed consent to participate or, if unable, have a family member or a legal guardian who understands the form sign the informed consent for the patient.

International consortium of six centers assembled to participate in the development and implementation of studies to identify infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental agents, including psychosocial factors, that trigger type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible people. The coordinating centers recruit and enroll subjects, obtaining informed consent from parents prior to or shortly after birth, genetic and other types of samples from neonates and parents, and prospectively following selected neonates throughout childhood or until development of islet autoimmunity or T1DM. The study tracks child diet, illnesses, allergies and other life experiences. A blood sample is taken from children every 3 months for 4 years. After 4 years, children will be seen every 6 months until the age of 15 years. Children are tested for 3 different autoantibodies. The study will compare the life experiences and blood and stool tests of the children who get autoantibodies and diabetes with some of those children who do not get autoantibodies or diabetes. In this way the study hopes to find the triggers of T1DM in children with higher risk genes.

Data are available for a range of species including Human Chr3, Human Chr12, Sea Urchin, Tribolium, and cow. The Genboree Discovery System is the largest software system developed at the bioinformatics laboratory at Baylor in close collaboration with the Human Genome Sequencing Center. Genboree is a turnkey software system for genomic research. Genboree is hosted on the Internet and, as of early 2007, the number of registered users exceeds 600. While it can be configured to support almost any genome-centric discovery process, a number of configurations already exist for specific applications. Current focus is on enabling studies of genome variation, including array CGH studies, PCR-based resequencing, genome resequencing using comparative sequence assembly, genome remapping using paired-end tags and sequences, genome analysis and annotation, multi-genome comparison and pattern discovery via genome self-comparison. Genboree database and visualization settings, tools, and user roles are configurable to fit the needs of specific discovery processes. Private permanent project-specific databases can be accessed in a controlled way by collaborators via the Internet. Project-specific data is integrated with relevant data from public sources such as genome browsers and genomic databases. Data processing tools are integrated using a plug-in model. Genboree is extensible via flexible data-exchange formats to accommodate project specific tools and processing steps. Our Positional Hashing method, implemented in the Pash program, enables extremely fast and accurate sequence comparison and pattern discovery by employing low-level parallelism. Pash enables fast and sensitive detection of orthologous regions across mammalian genomes, and fast anchoring of hundreds of millions of short sequences produced by next-generation sequencing technologies. We are further developing the Pash program and employing it in the context of various discovery pipelines. Our laboratory participates in the pilot stage of the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) project. We aim to develop comprehensive, rapid, and economical methods for detecting recurrent chromosomal aberrations in cancer using next-generation sequencing technologies. The methods will allow detection of recurrent chromosomal aberrations in hundreds of small (

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/atp

Autism research program that makes available post-mortem brain tissue to qualified scientists all over the world. Working directly with tissue banks, organ procurement agencies, medical examiners and the general public, this is the largest program dedicated to increasing and enhancing the availability of post-mortem brain tissue for basic research in autism. To date, the ATP has collected and stored more than 170 brains in their repositories at Harvard (US) and Oxford (UK). These brains are processed by formalin fixation and/or snap frozen to properly provide high quality tissue of all brain regions, in support of biological research in autism. The ATP is unique in that they diligently pursue all available clinical data (pre and post mortem) on tissue donors in order to create the most biologically relevant brain repository for autism research. These data, together with tissue resources from both banks and associated repositories, are presented to all interested researchers through their extensive web-based data portal (login required). The ATP is not a brain bank, but works directly with the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center in Boston (HBTRC), Massachusetts to serve as its tissue repository. This program augments brain bank functions by: * Creating the most biologically relevant brain tissue repository possible * Fully covering all costs associated with brain extraction and transfer to the repositories at Harvard (US and Canada) and Oxford (UK). * Providing scientific oversight of tissue distributions * Overseeing and managing all tissue grants * Clinically phenotyping and acquiring extensive medical data on all of their donors * Providing continuing family support and communication to all of their donors * Directly supporting researchers to facilitate autism research * Maintaining a robust web based data management and secure on-line global interface system * Developing and supporting ATP established scientific initiatives * Actively providing public outreach and education The ATP is not a clinical organ procurement agency, but rather they facilitate the wishes of donors and families to donate their tissue to autism research. Through the ATP's established international infrastructure, they work with any accredited tissue bank, organ procurement agency, or medical examiner that receives a family's request to donate their loved one's tissue to the program. Once contacted, the ATP will insure that the family's request to donate their loved one's tissue is faithfully met, covering all costs to the family and partnering agency as well as ensuring the tissues' proper and rapid transport to the ATP's repository at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center (HBTRC) in Boston, Massachusetts.

http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php

Free, online public record system for registration of clinical trials being conducted in India. Initiated as a voluntary measure, trial registration in the CTRI has been made mandatory by the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI) (http://www.cdsco.nic.in/). Moreover, Editors of Biomedical Journals of 11 major journals of India declared that only registered trials would be considered for publication. Today, any researcher who plans to conduct a trial involving human participants, of any intervention such as drugs, surgical procedures, preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, devices, educational or behavioral treatment, rehabilitation strategies as well as trials being conducted in the purview of the Department of AYUSH (http://indianmedicine.nic.in/) is expected to register the trial in the CTRI before enrollment of the first participant. Trial registration involves public declaration and identification of trial investigators, sponsors, interventions, patient population etc before the enrollment of the first patient. Submission of Ethics approval and DCGI approval (if applicable) is essential for trial registration in the CTRI. Multi-country trials, where India is a participating country, which have been registered in an international registry, are also expected to be registered in the CTRI. In the CTRI, details of Indian investigators, trial sites, Indian target sample size and date of enrollment are captured. After a trial is registered, trialists are expected to regularly update the trial status or other aspects as the case may be. After a trial is registered, all updates and changes will be recorded and available for public display. The CTRI is working with the WHO ICTRP to ensure that results of all trials registered with the CTRI are adequately reported and publicly available.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Database and customized tools to study the PFAM protein domain content of the transcriptome for all expressed genes of Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans tethered to both a genomics array repository database and a range of external information resources. GeneSpeed has merged information from several existing data sets including the Gene Ontology Consortium, InterPro, Pfam, Unigene, as well as micro-array datasets. GeneSpeed is a database of PFAM domain homology contained within Unigene. Because Unigene is a non-redundant dbEST database, this provides a wide encompassing overview of the domain content of the expressed transcriptome. We have structured the GeneSpeed Database to include a rich toolset allowing the investigator to study all domain homology, no matter how remote. As a result, homology cutoff score decisions are determined by the scientist, not by a computer algorithm. This quality is one of the novel defining features of the GeneSpeed database giving the user complete control of database content. In addition to a domain content toolset, GeneSpeed provides an assortment of links to external databases, a unique and manually curated Transcription Factor Classification list, as well as links to our newly evolving GeneSpeed BetaCell Database. GeneSpeed BetaCell is a micro-array depository combined with custom array analysis tools created with an emphasis around the meta analysis of developmental time series micro-array datasets and their significance in pancreatic beta cells.

http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/

A physiologic and molecular look at drug addiction involving many factors including: basic neurobiology, a scientific examination of drug action in the brain, the role of genetics in addiction, and ethical considerations. Designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public, the materials meet selected US education standards for science and health. Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by changes in the brain which result in a compulsive desire to use a drug. A combination of many factors including genetics, environment and behavior influence a person's addiction risk, making it an incredibly complicated disease. The new science of addiction considers all of these factors - from biology to family - to unravel the complexities of the addicted brain. * Natural Reward Pathways Exist in the Brain: The reward pathway is responsible for driving our feelings of motivation, reward and behavior. * Drugs Alter the Brain's Reward Pathway: Drugs work over time to change the reward pathway and affect the entire brain, resulting in addiction. * Genetics Is An Important Factor In Addiction: Genetic susceptibility to addiction is the result of the interaction of many genes. * Timing and Circumstances Influence Addiction: If you use drugs when you are an adolescent, you are more likely to develop lifetime addiction. An individual's social environment also influences addiction risk. * Challenges and Issues in Addiction: Addiction impacts society with many ethical, legal and social issues.

An algorithm for identifying pathways that are known to exist between two regions within DTI data of anisotropic tissue, e.g., muscle, brain, spinal cord. The ConTrack algorithms use knowledge of DTI scanning physics and apriori information about tissue architecture to identify the location of connections between two regions within the DTI data. Assuming a course of connection or pathway between these two regions is known to exist within the measured tissue, ConTrack can be used to estimate properties of these connections in-vivo.
