BarraCUDA Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
BarraCUDA (RRID:SCR_006881) | BarraCUDA | software resource | 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. | gpu/cuda, bio.tools |

CROP Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
CROP (RRID:SCR_006916) | CROP | software resource | 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. | cluster, 16s rrna, otu, gaussian mixture, bayesian, mcmc, metagenomics |

Stanley Medical Research Institute Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Stanley Medical Research Institute (RRID:SCR_007047) | SMRI | institution | 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. | schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, depressive disorder, mental disease |

Diabetes Autoantibody Standardization Program (RRID:SCR_006929) | DASP | knowledge environment | 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. | autoantibody, quality assurance, standardization, standard, laboratory method, laboratory performance, measurement, method |

GRAPPA: Genome Rearrangements Analysis under Parsimony and other Phylogenetic Algorithms (RRID:SCR_007208) | GRAPPA | software resource | 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. | has parent organization: University of New Mexico; New Mexico; USA | PMID:11262975 | nlx_27473 | SCR_007208 | 2026-02-14 02:01:28 | 27 | |||||||||
