http://eyewire.org/

An online game for mapping neuronal connections in the retina. The site provides microscopic retinal images and uses crowdsourcing to make sense of the images. EyeWire is where the general public can help make discoveries about the neural structure of the retina. The challenge is to map the neural connections of the retina by analyzing images that were acquired using serial electron microscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. A retinal volume of size 350��300��60 micrometer cubed was imaged, amounting to about one terabyte of data. Retinal Connectome * Game 1: Reconstructing Neurons * Game 2: Identifying Synapses Eyewire incorporates computational technologies developed by the laboratory of Prof. Sebastian Seung at MIT.

An endowment that offers funding for neuroscience research, especially as it may apply to Minnesota, agriculture, or if the researchers are based in Minnesota. The McKnight Foundation, a Minnesota-based family foundation, seeks to improve the quality of life for present and future generations through grantmaking, collaboration, and strategic policy reform in the following areas: arts, education and learning, environment, the region and communities, agricultural research, and neuroscience research. The McKnight Foundation assists nonprofit organizations and public agencies to improve the quality of life for all people, particularly those in need. Through grantmaking, coalition-building, and encouragement of strategic policy reform, we aim to build and maintain vibrant communities; enrich people''s lives through the arts; encourage protection of the natural environment; and promote research in selected fields. The Foundation had assets of approximately $1.8 billion and gave about $98 million in grants in 2009. Generally speaking, McKnight supports nonprofit organizations in Minnesota, U.S., only. McKnight''s primary geographic focus in grantmaking is to nonprofit organizations located within the state of Minnesota. We do not provide funding outside Minnesota, with five important programmatic exceptions: * Collaborative Crop research: International. * East Africa: Tanzania and Uganda only. * Mississippi River: 10 states bordering or encompassing the Mississippi River. * Neuroscience research: National. * Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam only. Each program is different. Please consult the specific guidelines appropriate to your project or organization for funding details. With very few exceptions, McKnight funds nonprofit organizations only. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations. We discourage the use of fiscal agents.

A tool for extraction and collaboration for data curation related to biology. CBioC runs as a web browser extension and allows unobtrusive use of the system during the regular course of research in PubMed. It can also be accessed directly (without having to install a plug-in). Automated text extraction is used as a starting point to bootstrap the database, but then it is up to biologists improve upon the extracted data, ironing out inconsistencies by subsequent edits on a massive scale. * After install, it loads when you visit PubMed. * Gets interactions from PubMed abstracts. * Allows you to vote and modify extracted data. * Also shows data from BIND, DIP, MINT, GRID, IntAct.

http://code.google.com/p/elk-reasoner/

ELK is an ontology reasoner with the goal of supporting the OWL 2 EL profile. ELK is a specialized reasoner for the lightweight ontology language OWL EL. The practical utility of ELK is in its combination of high performance and comprehensive support for language features. At its core, ELK employs a consequence-based reasoning engine that can take advantage of multi-core and multi-processor systems. A modular architecture allows ELK to be used as a stand-alone application, Protege plug-in, or programming library (either with or without the OWL API).
