ViReMa (Viral Recombination Mapper) detects and reports recombination or fusion events in virus genomes using deep sequencing datasets. Feb 2014 - Our paper (Open Access) is available at Nucleic Acids Research: "Discovery of functional genomic motifs in viruses with ViReMa–a Virus Recombination Mapper–for analysis of next-generation sequencing data" http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/2/e11 This is an on-going project and updates will be regularly posted. ...

ECOLOG is a specimen-based, cross-platform relational database management system, aimed at the storage, retrieval and preliminary analysis of data on sites, species, and specimens gathered in ecological field surveys and biodiversity inventories. The main goal of ECOLOG is to make the data gathered in ecological field surveys readily accessible, providing lists of species collected in the study area and informations on habitat preferences, abundance or rarity of a given species, biometrics, morphology, dominance, and spatial location of each specimen collected in the field.

Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) modeling offers great promise in environmental risk assessment, potentially speeding up dose-response studies while minimizing animal testing. Some limitations exist in the PBTK field, such as difficulty of model development and a lack of application specific software tools to help modelers. Some parameters used in PBTK models, such as tissue weights, are easily measure. Other parameters can be determined through in-vitro experiments or through extrapolation using published equations. When it is impractical to use these methods to estimate a parameter, techniques can be used to optimize parameters so that model results best fit validation data. ...
