The long-term goals of my research are to understand the relationship between neuronal structure and function, and to elucidate the factors that affect neuronal morphology and function over the lifespan of the mammal. Currently we are examining 1) the effects of synaptic activity on neuronal development; 2) the effects of estrogen on neuronal morphology and on learning and memory; and, 3) the effects of aging on neuronal structure and function. We have focused our efforts on single neurons in the hippocampal formation, a region that is critical for certain forms of learning and memory in rodents and humans. From the portal, you may click on a cell in your region of interest to see the complete database of cells from that region. You may also explore the Neuron Database: * Comparative Electrotonic Analysis of Three Classes of Rat Hippocampal Neurons. (Raw data available) * Quantitative, three-dimensional analysis of granule cell dendrites in the rat dentate gyrus. * Dendritic Growth and Regression in Rat Dentate Granule Cells During Late Postnatal Development.(Raw data available) * A light and electron microscopic analysis of the mossy fibers of the rat dentate gyrus.

http://www.textpresso.org/

An information extracting and processing package for biological literature that can be used online or installed locally via a downloadable software package, http://www.textpresso.org/downloads.html Textpresso's two major elements are (1) access to full text, so that entire articles can be searched, and (2) introduction of categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or describe one (e.g., methods, etc). A search engine enables the user to search for one or a combination of these categories and/or keywords within an entire literature. The Textpresso project serves the biological and biomedical research community by providing: * Full text literature searches of model organism research and subject-specific articles at individual sites. Major elements of these search engines are (1) access to full text, so that the entire content of articles can be searched, and (2) search capabilities using categories of biological concepts and classes that relate two objects (e.g., association, regulation, etc.) or identify one (e.g., cell, gene, allele, etc). The search engines are flexible, enabling users to query the entire literature using keywords, one or more categories or a combination of keywords and categories. * Text classification and mining of biomedical literature for database curation. They help database curators to identify and extract biological entities and facts from the full text of research articles. Examples of entity identification and extraction include new allele and gene names and human disease gene orthologs; examples of fact identification and extraction include sentence retrieval for curating gene-gene regulation, Gene Ontology (GO) cellular components and GO molecular function annotations. In addition they classify papers according to curation needs. They employ a variety of methods such as hidden Markov models, support vector machines, conditional random fields and pattern matches. Our collaborators include WormBase, FlyBase, SGD, TAIR, dictyBase and the Neuroscience Information Framework. They are looking forward to collaborating with more model organism databases and projects. * Linking biological entities in PDF and online journal articles to online databases. They have established a journal article mark-up pipeline that links select content of Genetics journal articles to model organism databases such as WormBase and SGD. The entity markup pipeline links over nine classes of objects including genes, proteins, alleles, phenotypes, and anatomical terms to the appropriate page at each database. The first article published with online and PDF-embedded hyperlinks to WormBase appeared in the September 2009 issue of Genetics. As of January 2011, we have processed around 70 articles, to be continued indefinitely. Extension of this pipeline to other journals and model organism databases is planned. Textpresso is useful as a search engine for researchers as well as a curation tool. It was developed as a part of WormBase and is used extensively by C. elegans curators. Textpresso has currently been implemented for 24 different literatures, among them Neuroscience, and can readily be extended to other corpora of text.

https://github.com/Ensembl

Public database that stores areas of genome that differ between individual genomes (variants) and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information. Different types of variants for several species: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short nucleotide insertions and/or deletions, and longer variants classified as structural variants (including CNVs). Effects of variants on the Ensembl transcripts and regulatory features for each species are predicted. You can run same analysis on your own data using Variant Effect Predictor. These data are integrated with other data sources in Ensembl, and can be accessed using the API or website. For several different species in Ensembl, they import variation data (SNPs, CNVs, allele frequencies, genotypes, etc) from a variety of sources (e.g. dbSNP). Imported variants and alleles are subjected to quality control process to flag suspect data. In human, they calculate linkage disequilibrium for each variant, by population.

Urinary kidney biomarkers (KIM-1, albumin, total protein, 2-microglobulin, cystatin C, clusterin and trefoil factor-3) that are considered acceptable biomarkers for the detection of acute drug-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and can be included along with traditional clinical chemistry markers and histopathology in toxicology studies. These biomarkers may be used voluntarily as additional evidence of nephrotoxicity in nonclinical safety assessment studies to complement the standard data (BUN and sCr). In ROC analyses, some of these biomarkers showed better sensitivity and specificity than BUN and sCr relative to histopathological alterations considered to be the gold standard when tested with a limited number of nephrotoxicant and control compounds.
