Educational resource to introduce users to the anatomy, physiology, histology, and pathology of the laboratory mouse, with an emphasis on the Genetically Engineered Mouse (GEM). It provides access to histological images, scanned at high resolution and browsable through Zoomify, movie loops and animations derived from MRI, correlated MRI and histology. It has CNS data but is focused on the whole body, e.g., physiological data is available for the heart in the form of wave patterns, histology, CNS, pathology, magnetic resonance imaging, neoplasms; animation, virtual histology, mouse, correlated imaging, necropsy, whole mouse. It may be useful to neuroscientists by relating brain anatomy to the rest of the body. There is a movie illustrating necropsy of the mouse. A link to a compendium of histological slices of brain neoplasms is provided under the Image Archive link. There is a CNS link under construction for anatomical system, which presumably will include detailed CT imaging. This site still appears to be under construction.

https://simtk.org/home/foldvillin

An archive of hundreds of all-atom, explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations that were performed on a set of nine unfolded conformations of a variant of the villin headpiece subdomain (HP-35 NleNle). It includes scripts for accessing the archive of villin trajectories as well as a VMD plug-in for viewing the trajectories. In addition, all starting structures used in the trajectories are also provided. The simulations were generated using a distributed computing method utilizing the symmetric multiprocessing paradigm for individual nodes of the Folding_at_home distributed computing network. The villin trajectories in the archive are divided into two projects: PROJ3036 and PROJ3037. PROJ3036 contains trajectories starting from nine non-folded configurations. PROJ3037 contains trajectories starting from the native (folded) state. Runs 0 through 8 (in PROJ3036) correspond to starting configurations 0 through 8 discussed in the paper in J. Mol. Biol. (2007) 374(3):806-816 (see the publications tab for a full reference), whereas RUN9 uses the same starting configuration as RUN8. Each run contains 100 trajectories (named clone 0-99), each with the same starting configuration but different random velocities. Trajectories vary in their length of time and are subdivided into frames, also known as a generation. Each frame contains around 400 configurational snapshots, or timepoints, of the trajectory, with the last configurational snapshot of frame i corresponding to the first configurational snapshot of generation i+1. The goal is to allow researchers to analyze and benefit from the many trajectories produced through the simulations.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A multi-country collaboration among scientists and funding agencies to develop a public resource where genetic similarities and differences in human beings are identified and catalogued. Using this information, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain. Their goal is to compare the genetic sequences of different individuals to identify chromosomal regions where genetic variants are shared. Public and private organizations in six countries are participating in the International HapMap Project. Data generated by the Project can be downloaded with minimal constraints. HapMap project related data, software, and documentation include: bulk data on genotypes, frequencies, LD data, phasing data, allocated SNPs, recombination rates and hotspots, SNP assays, Perlegen amplicons, raw data, inferred genotypes, and mitochondrial and chrY haplogroups; Generic Genome Browser software; protocols and information on assay design, genotyping and other protocols used in the project; and documentation of samples/individuals and the XML format used in the project.

http://nashua.case.edu/PathwaysWeb/Web/

An integrated software system for storing, managing, analyzing, and querying biological pathways at different levels of genetic, molecular, biochemical and organismal detail. The system contains a pathways database and associated tools to store, compare, query, and visualize metabolic pathways. The aim is to develop an integrated database and the associated tools to support computational analysis and visualization of biochemical pathways. At the computational level, PathCase allows users to visualize pathways in multiple abstraction levels, and to pose predetermined and ad hoc queries using a graphical user interface. Pathways are represented as graphs, and implemented as a relational database. The available functional annotations include the identity of the substrate(s), product(s), cofactors, activators, inhibitors, enzymes or other processing molecules, GO-categories of enzymes (as well as GO hierarchy visualizations two-way-linked to PathCase enzymes), EC number information and the associated links, and synonyms and encoding genes of gene products.

http://videocast.nih.gov/

VideoCasting of special NIH events, seminars, conferences, meetings and lectures available to viewers on the NIH network and the Internet from the VideoCast web site. VideoCasting is the method of electronically streaming digitally encoded video and audio data from a server to a client. VideoCast is often referred to as streaming video. Streaming files are not downloaded, but rather are broadcast in a manner similar to television broadcasts. The videos are processed by a compression program into a streaming format and delivered in a staggered fashion to minimize impact upon the network and maximize the experience of the content for the viewer. When users request a streaming file they will receive an initial burst of data after a short delay (file latency). While content is being viewed, the streaming server machine and software continues to stream data in such a manner that the viewer experiences no break in the content. CIT can broadcast your seminar, conference or meeting live to a world-wide audience over the Internet as a real-time streaming video. The event can be recorded and made available for viewers to watch at their convenience as an on-demand video or a downloadable podcast. CIT can also broadcast NIH-only or HHS-only content.

http://www.geisha.arizona.edu/geisha/

Online repository for chicken in situ hybridization information. This site presents whole mount in situ hybridization images and corresponding probe and genomic information for genes expressed in chicken embryos in Hamburger Hamilton stages 1-25 (0.5-5 days). The GEISHA project began in 1998 to investigate using high throughput whole mount in situ hybridization to identify novel, differentially expressed genes in chicken embryos. An initial expression screen of approximately 900 genes demonstrated feasibility of the approach, and also highlighted the need for a centralized repository of in situ hybridization expression data. Objectives: The goals of the GEISHA project are to obtain whole mount in situ hybridization expression information for all differentially expressed genes in the chicken embryo between HH stages 1-25, to integrate expression data with the chicken genome browsers, and to offer this information through a user-friendly graphical user interface. In situ hybridization images are obtained from three sources: 1. In house high throughput in situ hybridization screening: cDNAs obtained from several embryonic cDNA libraries or from EST repositories are screened for expression using high throughput in situ hybridization approaches. 2. Literature curation: Agreements with journals permit posting of published in situ hybridization images and related information on the GEISHA site. 3. Unpublished in situ hybridization information from other laboratories: laboratories generally publish only a small fraction of their in situ hybridization data. High quality images for which probe identity can be verified are welcome additions to GEISHA.
