http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/

Founded in 1976, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to serving all people with dystonia and their families. Since its inception, the DMRF has grown from a small family-based foundation into a dynamic membership-driven organization led by a Board of Directors and network of volunteers with personal connections to dystonia. Because dystonia hits so close to home for our directors and volunteers, the DMRF leadership is motivated by an unrelenting drive to find a cure and an unwavering commitment to serving people affected by dystonia. Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) prides itself on a long history of supporting dystonia research. Always the primary goal of the DMRF, research has led to a better understanding of dystonia as well as to breakthroughs in genetics and therapeutics.The funding which researchers obtain from the DMRF usually serves as seed money before generating even greater funding from the National Institutes of Health.Beyond the funding of research, the scientific program of the DMRF is multi-faceted, encompassing workshops, a residency elective program, and international medical symposiums, all to further the understanding of dystonia.

http://www.drugabuse.gov/about/organization/CEWG/

A network composed of researchers from major metropolitan areas of the United States and selected foreign countries which meet semiannually to discuss the current epidemiology of drug abuse. The primary mission of the Work Group is to provide ongoing community-level surveillance of drug abuse through analysis of quantitative and qualitative research data. Through this program the CEWG provides current descriptive and analytical information regarding the nature and patterns of drug abuse, emerging trends, characteristics of vulnerable populations and social and health consequences. Reports Reports are available from the biannual meetings at which the network members discuss current and emerging problems of substance abuse. At the meetings, CEWG members present data on drug abuse from a variety of city, State, Federal, and other sources. These data are enhanced with information gathered through ethnographic research, focus groups, interviews, and other qualitative methods. This integration of quantitative with qualitative data provides invaluable insight into emerging drug use trends. Book In 1998, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) published the first edition of Assessing Drug Abuse Within and Across Communities: Community Epidemiology Surveillance Networks on Drug Abuse to share information on establishing drug abuse epidemiology networks at community and State levels. Its purpose is to provide guidelines for establishing epidemiology networks to monitor and assess drug abuse patterns and trends and emerging drug problems at community and State levels to provide a foundation of information for public health response. The second edition differs from the first in format. For each data source, there is a description of the source and database, followed by guidelines on how to access the data (including Web sites) and what to request, and examples of how the data have been used by epidemiology work groups or Federal agencies. NIDA hopes that this revised guide is helpful to agencies, organizations, and researchers that are involved in or wish to establish epidemiology networks in their communities or States.

http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/honey-bee-genome-project

The HGSC has sequenced the honey bee, Apis mellifera. The version 4.0 assembly was released in March 2006 and published in October 2006. The genome sequence is being upgraded with additional sequence coverage. The honey bee is important in the agricultural community as a producer of honey and as a facilitator of pollination. It is a model organism for studying the following human health issues: immunity, allergic reaction, antibiotic resistance, development, mental health, longevity and diseases of the X chromosome. In addition, biologists are interested in the honey bee's social organization and behavioral traits. This project was proposed to the HGSC by a group of dedicated insect biologists, headed by Gene Robinson. Following a workshop at the HGSC and a honey bee white paper, the HGSC began the project in 2002. A 6-fold coverage WGS, BAC sequence from pooled arrays, and an initial genome assembly (Amel_v1.0) were released beginning in 2003. This has been a challenging project with difficulty in recovering AT-rich regions. The WGS data had lower coverage in AT-rich regions and BAC data from clones showed evidence of internal deletions. Additional reads from AT enriched DNA addressed these underrepresented regions. The current assembly Amel_4.0 was produced with Atlas and includes 2.7 million reads (1.8 Gb) or 7.5x coverage of the (clonable) genome. About 97% of STSs, 98% of ESTs, and 96% of cDNAs are represented in the 231 Mb assembly. About 2,500 reads were also produced from a strain of Africanized honey bee and SNPs were extracted. These were released in dbSNP and the NCBI Trace Archive. Analysis of the genome by a consortium of 20 labs has been completed. This produced a gene list derived from five different methods melded through the GLEAN software. Publications include a main paper in Nature and up to forty companion papers in Genome Research and Insect Molecular Biology. Sponsors: Sequencing of the honey bee is jointly funded by National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Multiple drones from the same queen (strain DH4) were obtained from Danny Weaver of B. Weaver Apiaries. All libraries were made from DNA isolated from these drones. The honey bee BAC library (CHORI-224) was prepared by Pieter de Jong and Katzutoyo Osoegawa at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute.

The deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) and congeneric species are the most common native North American mammal. Laboratory stock of both wild-type and genetically variant Peromyscus are used for investigations in which laboratory-based studies can be interfaced with those of natural populations. The major function of the Stock Center is to provide genetically characterized types of Peromyscus in limited quantities to scientific investigators. It provides a reliable source of genetically defined and virus-free animals and related materials to the scientific and educational communities. The center currently keeps nine species and more than 27 distinctive mutant and other genetically defined stocks. Included among the species maintained are P. californicus, P. leucopus, P. eremicus, P. aztecus, P. melanophrys as well as two subspecies each of P. maniculatus and P. polionotus and three inbred lines of P. leucopus. Among the mutant stocks are 17 with altered coat phenotypes, 3 with neurological symptoms, and 6 others with developmental/physiological effects. One of these is a line deficient in alcohol dehydrogenase that has been widely used in studies of alcohol metabolism. The stock center also supplies biological materials, including fresh, frozen, and preserved tissues; molecular probes, and libraries. The center functions as a clearinghouse for information regarding this genus by sponsoring an Internet database and the semi-annual Peromyscus Newsletter. The center maintains a collection of over 3,000 Peromyscus-related reprints of published articles, books, and journals-photocopies of which are available upon request. Continuation of the center is dependent upon significant external utilization, therefore potential users are encouraged to take advantage of this resource. Sufficient animals of the mutant types generally can be provided to initiate a breeding stock. Some what larger numbers, up to about 50 animals, can be provided from the wild-type stocks. A user fee of $25.00 per wild-type animal and $33.00 per mutant or other special types is charged. The user assumes the cost of air shipment. Animals lost in transit are replaced without charge. Tissues, blood, skins, etc. can also be supplied at a modest fee. Arrangements for special orders will be negotiated. :Sponsors: The peromyscus genetic stock center is supported by the University of South Carolina, :a grant from the Special Projects Program of the National Science Foundation and a P40 grant ( grant number: P40 RR014279) from the National Institutes of Health. physiological, Developmental, Biological, Animal,
