The purpose of the IPBIR - Integrated Primate Biomaterials and Information Resource is to assemble, characterize, and distribute high-quality DNA samples of known provenance with accompanying demographic, geographic, and behavioral information in order to stimulate and facilitate research in primate genetic diversity and evolution, comparative genomics, and population genetics. Further research in these areas will advance our understanding of human origins, the biological basis of cognitive processes, evolutionary history and relationships, and social structure, and will provide critical scientific information needed to facilitate conservation of biological diversity. The derived DNA will be openly available to the broad scientific community who agree to restrict use to non-commercial purposes. DNA and cell culture samples are distributed only to qualified professional persons who are associated with recognized research, medical, or educational organizations engaged in research.

A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp

XSEDE is a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data and expertise. People around the world use these resources and services things like supercomputers, collections of data and new tools to improve our planet. XSEDE resources may be broadly categorized as follows: High Performance Computing, High Throughput Computing, Visualization, Storage, and Data Services. Many resources provide overlapping functionality across categories. Scientists, engineers, social scientists, and humanists around the world - many of them at colleges and universities - use advanced digital resources and services every day. Things like supercomputers, collections of data, and new tools are critical to the success of those researchers, who use them to make our lives healthier, safer, and better. XSEDE integrates these resources and services, makes them easier to use, and helps more people use them. XSEDE supports 16 supercomputers and high-end visualization and data analysis resources across the country. Digital services, meanwhile, provide users with seamless integration to NSF''s high-performance computing and data resources. XSEDE''s integrated, comprehensive suite of advanced digital services will federate with other high-end facilities and with campus-based resources, serving as the foundation for a national cyberinfrastructure ecosystem. Common authentication and trust mechanisms, global namespace and filesystems, remote job submission and monitoring, and file transfer services are examples of XSEDE''s advanced digital services. XSEDE''s standards-based architecture allows open development for future digital services and enhancements. XSEDE also provides the expertise to ensure that researchers can make the most of the supercomputers and tools.

http://www.autopack.org/

A specialized version of autoPack designed to pack biological components together. The current version is optimized to pack molecules into cells with biologically relevant interactions to populate massive cell models with atomic or near-atomic details. Components of the algorithm pack transmembrane proteins and lipids into bilayers, globular molecules into compartments defined by the bilayers (or as exteriors), and fibrous components like microtubules, actin, and DNA.

The Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine''s Tissue Culture Core provides cells for research use within the department, as well as for distribution to other facilities. The core obtains hMSCs from bone marrow donor samples and expands these cells for research use. The hMSC''s are also characterized for bone, fat and cartilage differentiation, and are stored on site for use. The Tissue Culture Core also handles the expansion and characterization of mouse and rat MSC''s. The animal cells are cultured in a separate area, and never interact with human derived cells. We also have a supply of hMSC''s marked with GFP+, Mito Red and Mito Blue available.

Core repository and one of the world's most unique and important collections of scientific samples from the deep sea. Sediment cores from every major ocean and sea are archived at the Core Repository. The collection contains approximately 72,000 meters of core composed of 9,700 piston cores; 7,000 trigger weight cores; and 2,000 other cores such as box, kasten, and large diameter gravity cores. They also hold 4,000 dredge and grab samples, including a large collection of manganese nodules, many of which were recovered by submersibles. Over 100,000 residues are stored and are available for sampling where core material is expended. In addition to physical samples, a database of the Lamont core collection has been maintained for nearly 50 years and contains information on the geographic location of each collection site, core length, mineralogy and paleontology, lithology, and structure, and more recently, the full text of megascopic descriptions. Samples from cores and dredges, as well as descriptions of cores and dredges (including digital images and other cruise information), are provided to scientific investigators upon request. Materials for educational purposes and museum displays may also be made available in limited quantities when requests are adequately justified. Various services and data analyses, including core archiving, carbonate analyses, grain size analyses, and RGB line scan imaging, GRAPE, P-wave velocity and magnetic susceptibility runs, can also be provided at cost. The Repository operates a number of labs and instruments dedicated to making fundamental measurements on material entering the repository including several non-destructive methods. Instruments for conducting and/or assisting with analyses of deep-sea sediments include a GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger, a UIC coulometer, a Micromeritics sedigraph, Vane Shear, X-radiograph, Sonic Sifter, freeze dryer, as well as a variety of microscopes, sieves, and sampling tools. They also make these instruments available to the scientific community for conducting analyses of deep-sea sediments. If you are interested in borrowing any field equipment, please contact the Repository Curator.
