Funds innovative research and development in Washington state to promote life sciences competitiveness, enhance economic vitality, and improve health and health care. Its grantmaking opportunities are designed to leverage the state''s investment in research and development by achieving three goals: promoting health; making the life sciences sector more competitive; and strengthening Washington''s economy. LSDF currently offers two different types of granting mechanisms for both for-profit and non-profit organizations in Washington: * Proof of Concept grants to enhance the commercial viability of intellectual property developed by non-profit organizations or enhance the competitiveness of early-stage companies for private equity investment. (This grant mechanism combines the Commercialization and PreCede mechanisms offered in prior years.) * Opportunity grants to fund extraordinary research and development proposals having the ability to significantly leverage LSDF dollars against those from other sources.

A Graphical User Interface for NEURON simulator environment with 3D capabilities. Neuronvisio makes easy to select and investigate sections'''' properties and it offers easy integration with matplotlib for plotting the results. The geometry can be saved using NeuroML and the computational results in a customized and extensible HDF5 format; the results can then be reload in the software and analyzed in a later stage, without re-running the simulation. Featuring 3D visualization of the model with the possibility to change it runtime; creation of vectors to record any variables present in the section; pylab integration to plot directly the result of the simulation; exploration of the timecourse of any variable among time using a color coded scale; saving the results simulation for later analysis; automatic download and running of models in ModelDB.

https://github.com/friend1ws/EBCall
A software package for somatic mutation detection (including InDels). EBCall uses not only paired tumor/normal sequence data of a target sample, but also multiple non-paired normal reference samples for evaluating distribution of sequencing errors, which leads to an accurate mutaiton detection even in case of low sequencing depths and low allele frequencies.

A read mapping software program with adjustable sensitivity based on counting q-grams. RazerS 3 supports shared-memory parallelism, an additional seed-based filter with adjustable sensitivity, a much faster, banded version of the Myers? bit-vector algorithm for verification, memory saving measures and support for the SAM output format. This leads to a much improved performance for mapping reads, in particular long reads with many errors.

http://seqbarracuda.sourceforge.net/
A sequence mapping software that utilizes the massive parallelism of graphics processing units to accelerate the inexact alignment of short sequence reads to a particular location on a reference genome. It can align a paired-end library containing 14 million pairs of 76bp reads to the Human genome in about 27 minutes (from fastq files to SAM alignment) using a ��380 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680*. The alignment throughput can be boosted further by using multiple GPUs (up to 8) at the same time. Being based on BWA (http://bio-bwa.sf.net) from the Sanger Institute, BarraCUDA delivers a high level of alignment fidelity and is comparable to other mainstream alignment programs. It can perform gapped alignment with gap extensions, in order to minimise the number of false variant calls in re-sequencing studies.

A clustering tool designed mainly for Metagenomics studies, which clusters 16S rRNA sequences into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU). By using a Gaussian Mixture model, CROP can automatically determine the best clustering result for 16S rRNA sequences at different phylogenetic levels without setting a hard cutoff threshold as hierarchical clustering does. Yet, at the same time, it is able to manage large datasets and to overcome sequencing errors.

The Stanley Medical Research Institute (SMRI) is a nonprofit organization supporting research on the causes of, and treatments for, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Since it began in 1989, SMRI has supported more than $300 million in research in over 30 countries around the world. It is the largest nongovernmental source of funds for research on these diseases in the United States. Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are the most important psychiatric disorders in the United States, affecting more than 4 million people at any given time. Until recent years, little research had been done on these diseases, and the treatment of them was unsatisfactory. The neuroscience revolution has brought with it great opportunities for increased understanding of brain diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. SMRI is on the leading edge of this exciting research. Approximately 75 percent of SMRI expenditures goes towards the development of new treatments for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The remaining funds are used for research on the causes of these diseases. SMRI has a close relationship with and is the supporting organization for the Treatment Advocacy Center (TAC). The Treatment Advocacy Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating barriers to the timely and effective treatment of severe psychiatric disorders. TAC promotes laws, policies, and practices for the delivery of psychiatric care and supports the development of innovative treatments for and research into the causes of severe and persistent psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Program that develops materials and methods to improve measurements of autoantibodies that are predictive of type 1 diabetes. These are the most sensitive and meaningful measures for predicting this disease. Historically, autoantibody measures have been variable among laboratories; therefore, this program, in collaboration with the Immunology of Diabetes Society, was established. The goals of DASP are to improve laboratory methods, evaluate laboratory performance, support the development of sensitive and specific measurement technologies, and develop reference methods. Currently, 48 key laboratories from 19 countries participate in DASP.

http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/myrna/index.shtml
A cloud computing tool for calculating differential gene expression in large RNA-seq datasets. It uses Bowtie for short read alignment and R/Bioconductor for interval calculations, normalization, and statistical testing. These tools are combined in an automatic, parallel pipeline that runs in the cloud (Elastic MapReduce in this case) on a local Hadoop cluster, or on a single computer, exploiting multiple computers and CPUs wherever possible.

The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia''s national weather, climate and water agency. Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing with the harsh realities of their natural environment, including drought, floods, fires, storms, tsunami and tropical cyclones. Through regular forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning the Australian region and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of the most fundamental and widely used services of government. The Bureau contributes to national social, economic, cultural and environmental goals by providing observational, meteorological, hydrological and oceanographic services and by undertaking research into science and environment related issues in support of its operations and services. The Bureau of Meteorology operates under the authority of the Meteorology Act 1955 and the Water Act 2007 which provide the legal basis for its activities, while its operation is continually assessed in accordance with the national need for climatic records, water information, scientific understanding of Australian weather and climate and effective service provision to the Australian community. The Bureau of Meteorology must also fulfill Australia''s international obligations under the Convention of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and related international meteorological treaties and agreements.

As fascinating as diversity is, it''s not the sort of thing that computational scientists usually get excited about. Uncovering how diversity came to be has captured the attention of a team of researchers at Alliance partner University of New Mexico and the University of Texas, though. Using the 512-processor LosLobos Linux Pentium III supercomputing cluster at the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center, the team has created a phylogeny reconstruction - or evolutionary history - of 12 bluebell species, predicting all of the steps that take these species back to a single common ancestor. To meet the challenge, they created a whole new piece of software known as GRAPPA. GRAPPA is is free software available as a gzipped tar file containing all source files needed to compile an executable version.
