https://www.genome.wisc.edu/tools/asap.htm

Database and web interface developed to store, update and distribute genome sequence data and gene expression data. ASAP was designed to facilitate ongoing community annotation of genomes and to grow with genome projects as they move from the preliminary data stage through post-sequencing functional analysis. The ASAP database includes multiple genome sequences at various stages of analysis, and gene expression data from preliminary experiments. Use of some of this preliminary data is conditional, and it is the users responsibility to read the data release policy and to verify that any use of specific data obtained through ASAP is consistent with this policy. There are four main routes to viewing the information in ASAP: # a summary page, # a form to query the genome annotations, # a form to query strain collections, and # a form to query the experimental data. Navigational buttons appear on every page allowing users to jump to any of these four points., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/faculty/yuste/

Laboratory that aims to understand the function of the cortical microcircuit by reverse-engineering of the cortical microcircuit using the mouse neocortex in vitro and in vivo as their experimental preparations. The techniques applied are electrophysiology, anatomy, and a variety of optical methods, including infrared-DIC, voltage- and ion-sensitive dye imaging with confocal, two-photon and second harmonic microscopy. They also use laser uncaging, biolistics, electroporation, electron microscopy and numerical simulations, and make extensive use of genetically modified mouse strains. They focus is on two major questions: (1) What is the function of dendritic spines? (2) What are the multicellular patterns of activity under spontaneous or evoked activation of the circuit? Resources include: * Cell Reconstructions: Cell Database, PDF Images, .DAT Files * Circuit Diagrams: Full Circuit Diagram, Inhibitory Circuit Diagram, Excitatory Circuit Diagram, Simplified Circuit Diagram, Layer to Layer Simplified Circuit, Circuit diagram references

https://gene.sfari.org/database/human-gene/

Curated public database for autism research built on information extracted from the studies on molecular genetics and biology of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The genetic information includes data from linkage and association studies, cytogenetic abnormalities, and specific mutations associated with ASD. New gene submissions are welcome. Modules: * Human Gene: thoroughly annotated list of genes that have been studied in the context of autism, with information on the genes themselves, relevant references from the literature, and the nature of the evidence. Uniquely, SFARI Gene incorporates information on both common and rare variants. * Animal Model: information about lines of genetically modified mice that represent potential models of autism. This information includes the nature of the targeting construct, the background strain and, most importantly, a thorough summary of the phenotypic features of the mice that are most relevant to autism. * Protein Interaction (PIN): compilation of all known direct protein interactions for those gene products implicated in autism. It presents both graphical and tabular views of interactomes, highlighting connections between autism candidate genes. Each protein interaction is manually verified by consultation with the primary reference. * Copy Number Variant (CNV): a parallel resource providing genetic information about all known copy number variants linked to autism. * Gene Scoring: includes a "score" for each autism candidate gene, based on an assessment of the strength of human genetic evidence.

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.

Blog about the interests of the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. They use tools from physics, mathematics and computer science to help us better understand the behavior of biological systems, large and small. Jobs and postdoc positions are available under the corresponding categories. Interests: * Methods for quantitative measurement, and for data analysis. Although much is said about the flood of new data in biology, nearly every time you want to understand a biological system at a mathematical or mechanical level you find that the numbers you need most are missing. Measuring and extracting the parameters that describe key features of the system is a major interest. * Theoretical and computational methods that can cope with the special features of biological systems. Issues such as combinatorial complexity, stochasticity, and variation from individual to individual and tissue to tissue are hard to deal with using conventional tools. * Philosophies of modeling. How do we represent what we know about the system what level of abstraction is appropriate for a given question, what is important and what can be ignored? What are models useful for? * Evolution. One of the more useful tools to identify what''s important is evolution a comparison across species helps to show what is allowed to change and what is not. * Synthetic biology. If I understand it, can I build it? (And in any case, can I build useful stuff?) They will post thoughts about recent papers in the literature that they find interesting, news about the Department, and information about Department Alumni. Please check back frequently, and feel free to comment.
