Software platform that allows researchers to easily collaborate on research and share reagents, antibodies, cell lines and more. It is designed to increase scientific collaboration across disciplines and geographical boundaries. Among the institutions now using the platform include Yale University, U of Pennsylvania, U of Chicago, Washington U, Cambridge University, University College London. The platform is licensed to select institutions. ResearchAccelerator.org allows researchers to form targeted, data driven collaborations. Researchers can search for data based on gene, disease and pathway, and they can post data which would otherwise be orphaned. The resulting collaborations, which are likely to be transdisciplinary, can greatly amplify impact and research productivity.

GoFigure is a software platform for quantitating complex 4d in vivo microscopy based data in high-throughput at the level of the cell. A prime goal of GoFigure is the automatic segmentation of nuclei and cell membranes and in temporally tracking them across cell migration and division to create cell lineages. GoFigure v2.0 is a major new release of our software package for quantitative analysis of image data. The research focuses on analyzing cells in intact, whole zebrafish embryos using 4d (xyzt) imaging which tends to make automatic segmentation more difficult than with 2d or 2d+time imaging of cells in culture. This resource has developed an automatic segmentation pipeline that includes ICA based channel unmixing, membrane nuclear channel subtraction, Gaussian correlation, shape models, and level set based variational active contours. GoFigure was designed to meet the challenging requirements of in toto imaging. In toto imaging is a technology that we are developing in which we seek to track all the cell movements and divisions that form structures during embryonic development of zebrafish and to quantitate protein expression and localization on top of this digital lineage. For in toto imaging, GoFigure uses zebrafish embryos in which the nuclei and cell membranes have been marked with 2 different color fluorescent proteins to allow cells to be segmented and tracked. A transgenic line in a third color can be used to mark protein expression and localization using a genetic approach that this resource developed called FlipTraps or using traditional transgenic approaches. Embryos are imaged using confocal or 2-photon microscopy to capture high-resolution xyzt image sets used for cell tracking. The GoFigure GUI will provide many tools for visualization and analysis of bioimages. Since fully automatic segmentation of cells is never perfect, GoFigure will provide easy to use tools for semi-automatically and manually adding, deleting, and editing traces in 2d (figures-xy, xz, or yz), 3d (meshes- xyz), 4d (tracks- xyzt) and 4d+cell division (lineages). GoFigure will also provide a number of views into complex image data sets including 3d XYZ and XYT image views, tabular list views of traces, histograms, and scattergrams. Importantly, all these views will be linked together to allow the user to explore their data from multiple angles. Data will be easily sorted and color-coded in many ways to explore correlations in higher dimensional data. The GoFigure architecture is designed to allow additional segmentation, visualization, and analysis filters to be plugged in.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. A software package for analyzing gene expression and other bioarray data, giving users a variety of methods to build and evaluate class predictors, visualize marker lists, cluster data and validate results. GeneCluster 2.0 greatly expands the data analysis capabilities of GeneCluster 1.0 by adding supervised classification, gene selection, class discovery and permutation test methods. It includes algorithms for building and testing supervised models using weighted voting (WV) and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms, a module for systematically finding and evaluating clustering via self-organizing maps, and modules for marker gene selection and heat map visualization that allow users to view and sort samples and genes by many criteria. It enhances the clustering capabilities of GeneCluster 1.0 by adding a module for batch SOM clustering, and also includes a marker gene finder based on a KNN analysis and a visualization module. GeneCluster 2.0 is a stand-alone Java application and runs on any platform that supports the Java Runtime Environment version 1.3.1 or greater.

Extensible, scriptable, pythonic software tool for visualization and analysis in structural neuroimaging research on many spatial scales. Employing the Connectome File Format, diverse data such as networks, surfaces, volumes, tracks and metadata are handled and integrated. The field of Connectomics research benefits from recent advances in structural neuroimaging technologies on all spatial scales. The need for software tools to visualize and analyze the emerging data is urgent. The ConnectomeViewer application was developed to meet the needs of basic and clinical neuroscientists, as well as complex network scientists, providing an integrative, extensible platform to visualize and analyze Connectomics data. With the Connectome File Format, interlinking different datatypes such as hierarchical networks, surface data, volumetric data is easy and might provide new ways of analyzing and interacting with data. Furthermore, ConnectomeViewer readily integrates with: * ConnectomeWiki: a semantic knowledge base representing connectomics data at a mesoscale level across various species, allowing easy access to relevant literature and databases. * ConnectomeDatabase: a repository to store and disseminate Connectome files.
