http://slicer.org/

A free, open source software package for visualization and image analysis including registration, segmentation, and quantification of medical image data. Slicer provides a graphical user interface to a powerful set of tools so they can be used by end-user clinicians and researchers alike. 3D Slicer is natively designed to be available on multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac Os X. Slicer is based on VTK (http://public.kitware.com/vtk) and has a modular architecture for easy addition of new functionality. It uses an XML-based file format called MRML - Medical Reality Markup Language which can be used as an interchange format among medical imaging applications. Slicer is primarily written in C++ and Tcl.

http://great.stanford.edu/public/html/splash.php

Data analysis service that predicts functions of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome. Whereas previous methods took into account only binding proximal to genes, GREAT is able to properly incorporate distal binding sites and control for false positives using a binomial test over the input genomic regions. GREAT incorporates annotations from 20 ontologies and is available as a web application. The utility of GREAT extends to data generated for transcription-associated factors, open chromatin, localized epigenomic markers and similar functional data sets, and comparative genomics sets. Platform: Online tool

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 27, 2014. Database containing information on microbial biocatalytic reactions and biodegradation pathways for primarily xenobiotic, chemical compounds. Its goal is to provide information on microbial enzyme-catalyzed reactions that are important for biotechnology. The reactions covered are studied for basic understanding of nature, biocatalysis leading to specialty chemical manufacture, and biodegradation of environmental pollutants. Individual reactions and metabolic pathways are presented with information on the starting and intermediate chemical compounds, the organisms that transform the compounds, the enzymes, and the genes. The present database has been successfully used to teach enzymology and use of biochemical Internet information resources to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and is being expanded primarily with the help of such students. In addition to reactions and pathways, this database also contains Biochemical Periodic Tables and a Pathway Prediction System. * Search the UM-BBD for compound, enzyme, microorganism, pathway, or BT rule name; chemical formula; chemical structure; CAS Registry Number; or EC code. * Go to Pathways and Metapathways in the UM-BBD * Lists of 203 pathways; 1400 reactions; 1296 compounds; 916 enzymes; 510 microorganism entries; 245 biotransformation rules; 50 organic functional groups; 76 reactions of naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase; 109 reactions of toluene dioxygenase; Graphical UM-BBD Overview; and Other Graphics (Metapathway and Pathway Maps and Reaction Mechanisms).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. Project to advance understanding of the neural mechanisms of vocal learning by providing a quantitative description of the relationship between physiological variables and vocal performance over the course of development in a songbird, the zebra finch. They propose to study vocal learning dynamically across neuronal and peripheral subsystems, using a novel collaborative approach that will harness the combined expertise of several investigators. Their proposed research model will 1) provide simultaneous measurements of acoustic, articulatory and electrophysiological data that will document the detailed dynamics of the vocal imitation process in a standardized learning paradigm; and 2) incorporate these measurements into a theoretical/computational framework that simultaneously provides a phenomenological description and attempts to elucidate the mechanistic basis of the learning process.

http://www.feinsteininstitute.org/Feinstein/Feinstein+HomePage

The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is the research branch of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System. Biomedical research has been a vital aspect of its two academic medical centers North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center since their establishment in the early 1950''s. Through its connection to the hospital system, the Institute bridges the gap between biomedical research and patient care, accessing hundreds of thousands of patients in the health system''s 15 hospitals, four long-term care facilities, three trauma centers, six home health agencies and dozens of outpatient facilities. Institute scientists collaborate with clinicians throughout the system to shed light on basic biological processes underlying disease. This knowledge is used to develop new therapies and diagnostics. Currently, more than 800 scientists and investigators are conducting research in oncology, immunology and inflammation, genetics, psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics, surgery, urology, obstetrics/gynecology and many other specialties. In 2008, the Feinstein received funding from the National Institutes of Health in excess of $28 million, and an additional $10 million from other federal sources. Total annual research funding from all sources exceeded $44 million in 2008. We stand at the threshold of an extraordinary time in medicine. Over the last 100 years, biomedical science has progressed very rapidly. Advances coming from the integration of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics into the biomedical toolkit hold the promise that this transformation will continue well into the 21st century. The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is a growing force in research innovation, education and progress.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/brainsinsilicon/neurogrid.html

A specialized hardware platform that will perform cortex-scale emulations while offering software-like flexibility. With sixteen 12x14 sq-mm chips (Neurocores) assembled on a 6.5x7.5 sq-in circuit board that can model a slab of cortex with up to 16x256x256 neurons - over a million! The chips are interconnected in a binary tree by 80M spike/sec links. An on-chip RAM (in each Neurocore) and an off-chip RAM (on a daughterboard, not shown) softwire vertical and horizontcal cortical connections, respectively. It provides an affordable option for brain simulations that uses analog computation to emulate ion-channel activity and uses digital communication to softwire synaptic connections. These technologies impose different constraints, because they operate in parallel and in serial, respectively. Analog computation constrains the number of distinct ion-channel populations that can be simulatedunlike digital computation, which simply takes longer to run bigger simulations. Digital communication constrains the number of synaptic connections that can be activated per secondunlike analog communication, which simply sums additional inputs onto the same wire. Working within these constraints, Neurogrid achieves its goal of simulating multiple cortical areas in real-time by making judicious choices.
