http://www.immunetolerance.org/

International clinical research consortium dedicated to the clinical evaluation of novel tolerogenic approaches for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergic diseases, and the prevention of graft rejection. They aim to advance the clinical application of immune tolerance by performing high quality clinical trials of emerging therapeutics integrated with mechanism-based research. In particular, they aim to: * Establish new tolerance therapeutics * Develop a better understanding of the mechanisms of immune function and disease pathogenesis * Identify new biomarkers of tolerance and disease Their goals are to identify and develop treatment game changers for tolerance modulating therapies for the treatment of immune mediated diseases and disabling conditions, and to conduct high quality, innovative clinical trials and mechanistic studies not likely to be funded by other sources or to be conducted by private industry that advance our understanding of immunological disorders. In the Immune Tolerance Network's (ITN) unique hybrid academic/industry model, the areas of academia, government and industry are integral to planning and conducting clinical studies. They develop and fund clinical trials and mechanistic studies in partnership. Their development model is a unique, interactive process. It capitalizes on their wide-ranging, multidisciplinary expertise provided by an advisory board of highly respected faculty from institutions worldwide. This model gives investigators special insight into developing high quality research studies. The ITN is comprised of leading scientific and medical faculty from more than 50 institutions in nine countries worldwide and employs over 80 full-time staff at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Bethesda, Maryland and Benaroya Research Institute in Seattle, Washington.

http://www-sequence.stanford.edu/group/candida/

The Stanford Genome Technology Center began a whole genome shotgun sequencing of strain SC5314 of Candida albicans. After reaching its original goal of 1.5X mean coverage of the haploid genome (16Mb) in summer, 1998, Stanford was awarded a supplemental grant to continue sequencing up to a coverage of 10X, performing as much assembly of the sequence as possible, using recognizable genes as nucleation points. Candida albicans is one of the most commonly encountered human pathogens, causing a wide variety of infections ranging from mucosal infections in generally healthy persons to life-threatening systemic infections in individuals with impaired immunity. Oral and esophogeal Candida infections are frequently seen in AIDS patients. Few classes of drugs are effective against these fungal infections, and all of them have limitations with regard to efficacy and side-effects.

http://compbio.uthsc.edu/miRSNP/

Database of naturally occurring DNA variations in microRNA (miRNA) seed regions and miRNA target sites. MicroRNAs pair to the transcripts of protein-coding genes and cause translational repression or mRNA destabilization. SNPs and INDELs in miRNAs and their target sites may affect miRNA-mRNA interaction, and hence affect miRNA-mediated gene repression. The PolymiRTS database was created by scanning 3'UTRs of mRNAs in human and mouse for SNPs and INDELs in miRNA target sites. Then, the potential downstream effects of these polymorphisms on gene expression and higher-order phenotypes are identified. Specifically, genes containing PolymiRTSs, cis-acting expression QTLs, and physiological QTLs in mouse and the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of human traits and diseases are linked in the database. The PolymiRTS database also includes polymorphisms in target sites that have been supported by a variety of experimental methods and polymorphisms in miRNA seed regions.
