The Oomycete Molecular Genetics Research Collaboration Network (OMGN) is a network for research collaboration for investigators interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The goals of the OMGN is to facilitate the integration of these investigators into the community and to further strengthen the cooperative culture of this community. A particular emphasis is placed on training and integrating junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. Because of their economic impact as plant pathogens, molecular, genetic and genomics studies are well advanced in many oomycete species. These organisms have served as lead species for the entire Stramenopiles lineage, a major radiation of crown eukaryotes, distinct from plants, animals and fungi. The oomycete molecular genetics community has a strong culture of collaboration and communication, and sharing of techniques and resources. With the recent blossoming of genetic and genomic tools for oomycetes, many new investigators, from a variety of backgrounds, have become interested in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics. The proposed network is open to all researchers with an interest in oomycete molecular genetics and genomics, either at an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome, especially those interested in saprophytes and animal pathogens. Goals of OMGN # Provide training to o��mycete molecular genetics researchers, especially those from smaller institutions, in the use of bioinformatics and genomics resources. # Promote the entry, participation and training of new investigators into the field of o��mycete genomics, particularly junior faculty and faculty from institutions under-represented in the U.S. research infrastructure. # Promote communication and collaboration, and minimize duplication of effort, within the worldwide o��mycete genomics community. # Support an O��mycete Genomics Resources Center to maintain and distribute training and research materials produced by community genomics projects. The network''s activities have been supported by two grants from the NSF Research Collaboration Networks in Biology program.

http://www.openarchives.org/ore/

Initiative which defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. The intent of the effort is to develop standards that generalize across all web-based information including the increasing popular social networks of web 2.0. The goal of these standards is to expose the rich content in these aggregations (sometimes called compound digital objects, they may combine distributed resources with multiple media types including text, images, data, and video) to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization, reuse, and preservation. The specific aim of the ORE effort is to promote (through creation or endorsement) effective and consistent mechanisms which: facilitate discovery of compound digital objects; reference (or link to) these objects (as well as parts thereof); obtain a variety of disseminations of these objects; aggregate and disaggregate objects; and enable processing of objects by automated agents.

http://smallrna.udel.edu/index.php

This project has developed a sequence dataset of plant small RNAs based on the hypothesis that most if not all plants utilize important small RNA signaling networks. Different plant families are likely to have both common and lineage-specific miRNAs or other small RNAs with important biological roles. Comparative genomics approaches can be applied to distinguish potential miRNAs from siRNAs and to match the miRNAs to the target sequences. This project develops an unparalleled resource of millions of plant small RNAs for comparative analyses. The project includes sequencing of small RNAs from a diverse and agronomically-relevant set of plant species, focused analyses of important members of the Solanaceae and Poaceae, and development of a small RNA database and web interface for public access and analysis of data. These data will allow the experimental characterization of the majority of biologically important small RNAs for a range of plant species, and will be tremendously useful to a broad set of plant biologists interested in development, stress responses, epigenetics, evolution, RNA biology and other traits impacted by small RNAs. We offer a variety of tools to query the small RNA data set, with options to identify sequences based on homology, expression levels, conservation, or potential function: 1. Small RNA mapping tool: searches for small RNAs perfectly matching a genomic sequence provided by the user. 2. Small RNA mismatch tool: searches the database for small RNAs or other short sequences provided by the user, allowing mismatches. 3. Library-comparison tool to identify conserved small RNAs. 4. Library-comparison tool to identify differentially regulated small RNAs. 5. Reverse Target Prediction.

http://www.genes2cognition.org/

A neuroscience research program that studies genes, the brain and behavior in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. Central to G2C investigations is the NMDA receptor complex (NRC/MASC), that is found at the synapses in the central nervous system which constitute the functional connections between neurons. Changes in the receptor and associated components are thought to be in a large part responsible for the phenomenon of synaptic plasticity, that may underlie learning and memory. G2C is addressing the function of synapse proteins using large scale approaches combining genomics, proteomics and genetic methods with electrophysiological and behavioral studies. This is incorporated with computational models of the organization of molecular networks at the synapse. These combined approaches provide a powerful and unique opportunity to understand the mechanisms of disease genes in behavior and brain pathology as well as provide fundamental insights into the complexity of the human brain. Additionally, Genes to Cognition makes available its biological resources, including gene-targeting vectors, ES cell lines, antibodies, and transgenic mice, generated for its phenotyping pipeline. The resources are freely-available to interested researchers.

http://nsr.bioeng.washington.edu/

Database of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological information on humans and other organisms and integration through computational modeling. Models include everything from diagrammatic schema, suggesting relationships among elements composing a system, to fully quantitative, computational models describing the behavior of physiological systems and an organism''s response to environmental change. Each mathematical model is an internally self-consistent summary of available information, and thereby defines a working hypothesis about how a system operates. Predictions from such models are subject to test, with new results leading to new models.BR /> A Tool developed for the NSR Physiome project is JSim, an open source, free software. JSim is a Java-based simulation system for building quantitative numeric models and analyzing them with respect to experimental reference data. JSim''s primary focus is in physiology and biomedicine, however its computational engine is quite general and applicable to a wide range of scientific domains. JSim models may intermix ODEs, PDEs, implicit equations, integrals, summations, discrete events and procedural code as appropriate. JSim''s model compiler can automatically insert conversion factors for compatible physical units as well as detect and reject unit unbalanced equations. JSim also imports the SBML and CellML model archival formats. All JSim models are open source. Goals of the Physiome Project: - To develop and database observations of physiological phenomenon and interpret these in terms of mechanism (a fundamentally reductionist goal). - To integrate experimental information into quantitative descriptions of the functioning of humans and other organisms (modern integrative biology glued together via modeling). - To disseminate experimental data and integrative models for teaching and research. - To foster collaboration amongst investigators worldwide, to speed up the discovery of how biological systems work. - To determine the most effective targets (molecules or systems) for therapy, either pharmaceutic or genomic. - To provide information for the design of tissue-engineered, biocompatible implants.

Database of crystallographic information. Its membership includes crystallographic service facilities (that analyze crystals submitted by research chemists) located at major universities. These labs analyze anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred molecular structures each year and post the data online for the public to access. A distributed database engine takes care of shuttling this data across the Internet so that every structure can be located by the search engine. There may be a delay of a year or more between the time a structure is first analyzed and the time it finally becomes available for the public to see. This is due to intellectual property issues - the intervening time allows the chemists who first discovered the structure to publish it in a trade journal.
