Web Game for Collaborative Labeling Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Web Game for Collaborative Labeling (RRID:SCR_006685) | Web Game for Collaborative Labeling | software resource | Web game that provides an innovative infrastructure for labeling to enable an alternative to expert raters for medical image labeling through statistical analysis of the collaborative efforts of many, minimally-trained raters. Statistical atlases of regional brain anatomy have proven to be extremely useful in characterizing the relationship between the structure and function of the human nervous system. Typically, an expert human rater manually examines each slice of a three-dimensional volume. This approach can be exceptionally time and resource intensive, so cost severely limits the clinical studies where subject-specific labeling is feasible. Methods for improved efficiency and reliability of manual labeling would be of immense benefit for clinical investigation into morphological correlates of brain function. | magnetic resonance, labeling, crowdsourcing | is listed by: NeuroImaging Tools and Resources Collaboratory (NITRC) | GNU Lesser General Public License | nlx_156019 | http://www.nitrc.org/projects/webmill | SCR_006685 | 2026-02-14 02:01:20 | 2 | |||||||

SoftSearch Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
SoftSearch (RRID:SCR_006683) | SoftSearch | software resource | A sensitive structural variant (SV) detection software tool for Illumina paired-end next-generation sequencing data. It simultaneously utilizes soft-clipping and read-pair strategies for detecting SVs to increase sensitivity. Soft clips are proxies for split-reads that indicate part of the read maps to the reference genome, but the other part is not localized at the same place (e.g. breakpoint spanning reads). Discordant read-pairs refer to a read and its mate, where the insert size is greater (or less than) the expected distribution of the dataset ? or ? where the mapping orientation of the reads is unexpected (e.g. both on the same strand). SoftSearch looks for areas with soft-clipping in the genome that have discordant read pairs supporting the anomaly. Once areas with both these conditions are identified, the read and mate information is extracted directly from the BAM file containing the discordant reads, obviating the need for time-consuming and error-prone complex alignment strategies. Only a small number of soft-masked bases discordant read-pairs are necessary to identify an SV, which on their own would not be sufficient to make an SV call, thus highlighting SoftSearch?s improved sensitivity. SoftSearch is well suited to be ?plugged in? to most sequence analysis workflows, since it requires standard file inputs, such as a BAM file using almost any aligner and a reference genome FASTA file. Because SoftSearch requires soft-masked bases, the only requirement is that the aligner must have this functionality, which is usually turned on by default by many standard aligners (e.g. BWA, Novoalign, etc). | illumina, structural variant, next-generation sequencing, perl, academic |

GREC Corpus Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
GREC Corpus (RRID:SCR_006719) | GREC | training set | A semantically annotated corpus of 240 MEDLINE abstracts (167 on the subject of E. coli species and 73 on the subject of the Human species) intended for training information extraction (IE) systems and/or resources which are used to extract events from biomedical literature. The corpus has been manually annotated with events relating to gene regulation by biologists. Each event is centered on either a verb (e.g. transcribe) or nominalized verb (e.g. transcription) and annotation consists of identifying, as exhaustively as possible, the structurally-related arguments of the verb or nominalized verb within the same sentence. Each event argument is then assigned the following information: * A semantic role from a fixed set of 13 roles which are tailored to the biomedical domain. * A biomedical concept type (where appropriate). The corpus in available for download in 2 formats: * A standoff format, based on the BioNLP'09 Shared Task format * An XML format, based on the GENIA event annotation format | annotation, information extraction, text mining, semantic role, semantic search, gene, computational linguistics, gene regulation |

InnateDB Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
InnateDB (RRID:SCR_006714) | InnateDB | data or information resource, database | Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans, mice and bovines to microbial infection. The database captures coverage of the innate immunity interactome by integrating known interactions and pathways from major public databases together with manually-curated data into a centralized resource. The database can be mined as a knowledgebase or used with the integrated bioinformatics and visualization tools for the systems level analysis of the innate immune response. Although InnateDB curation focuses on innate immunity-relevant interactions and pathways, it also incorporates detailed annotation on the entire human, mouse and bovine interactomes by integrating data (178,000+ interactions & 3,900+ pathways) from several of the major public interaction and pathway databases. InnateDB also has integrated human, mouse and bovine orthology predictions generated using Ortholgue software. Ortholgue uses a phylogenetic distance-based method to identify possible paralogs in high-throughput orthology predictions. Integrated human and mouse conserved gene order and synteny information has also been determined to provide further support for orthology predictions. InnateDB Capabilities: * View statistics for manually-curated innate immunity relevant molecular interactions. New manually curated interactions are submitted weekly. * Search for genes and proteins of interest. * Search for experimentally-verified molecular interactions by gene/protein name, interaction type, cell type, etc. * Search genes/interactions belonging to 3,900 pathways. * Visualize interactions using an intuitive subcellular localization-based layout in Cerebral. * Upload your own list of genes along with associated gene expression data (from up to 10 experimental conditions) to interactively analyze this data in a molecular interaction network context. Once you have uploaded your data, you will be able to interactively visualize interaction networks with expression data overlaid; carry out Pathway, Gene Ontology and Transcription Factor Binding Site over-representation analyses; construct orthologous interaction networks in other species; and much more. * Access curated interaction data via a dedicated PSICQUIC webservice. | gene, immune response, pathway, protein, signaling pathway, interaction, immune, signaling response, gene, orthology prediction, orthology, ortholg, annotation, interactome, gene expression, molecule, protein-protein interaction, molecular interaction, visualization, nucleic acid-protein, nucleic acid, network, web service, transcription factor binding site, software resource, FASEB list |

PennCNV implements a hidden Markov model (HMM) that integrates multiple sources of information to infer CNV calls for individual genotyped samples. It differs form segmentation-based algorithm in that it considered SNP allelic ratio distribution as well as other factors, in addition to signal intensity alone. In addition, PennCNV can optionally utilize family information to generate family-based CNV calls by several different algorithms. Furthermore, PennCNV can generate CNV calls given a specific set of candidate CNV regions, through a validation-calling algorithm. | imaging genomics, copy number variation, snp, genotyping array, array, oligonucleotide, hidden markov model, genotype, genome |
