Gatsby is a Foundation set up by David Sainsbury to realize his charitable objectives. Gatsby works in areas that David Sainsbury and the Trustees are particularly passionate about and where they believe charitable funding can make a real difference. Gatsby is currently active in six tightly-focused areas: * Plant science research * Neuroscience research * Science and engineering education * Economic development in Africa * Public policy research and advice * The Arts We have also supported significant programs in mental health - in particular through the founding of the Centre for Mental Health - although we are no longer focusing on this area. Across all areas, we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, designing, developing, overseeing and, in some cases, delivering activities. We are proactive in putting together projects to achieve our aims. Rather than wait for third-party proposals, we identify areas of need, commission research and design interventions in partnership with sector and industry experts. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects. We build long relationships with the organizations we support, allowing both them and us to learn from successes and failures and to develop sustainable change. We are particularly enthusiastic about supporting innovation. David Sainsbury has long believed that private foundations have an important role to play in testing imaginative models and new ideas that governments may see as too risky for public funding, even when they have significant potential to benefit the public if they succeed. Gatsby can incubate such models, giving them the support they need to prove themselves and build the track-records that will encourage others to scale them up. We will continue to support and undertake both large- and small-scale work, employing different methods and models depending on the different challenges, but always ultimately looking to deliver long-term, sustainable change. Registered Charity No. 251988

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Neurocarta is a knowledgebase that consolidates information on genes and phenotypes across multiple resources and allows tracking and exploring of the associations. The system enables automatic and manual curation of evidence supporting each association, as well as user-enabled entry of their own annotations. Phenotypes are recorded using controlled vocabularies such as the Disease Ontology to facilitate computational inference and linking to external data sources. The gene-to-phenotype associations are filtered by stringent criteria to focus on the annotations most likely to be relevant. Neurocarta is constantly growing and currently holds more than 30,000 lines of evidence linking over 6,800 genes to 1,800 different phenotypes. Neurocarta is a one-stop shop for researchers looking for candidate genes for any disorder of interest. In Neurocarta, they can review the evidence linking genes to phenotypes and filter out the evidence they're not interested in. In addition, researchers can enter their own annotations from their experiments and analyze them in the context of existing public annotations. Neurocarta's in-depth annotation of neurodevelopmental disorders makes it a unique resource for neuroscientists working on brain development.

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation supports creative people and effective institutions committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. In addition to selecting the MacArthur Fellows, the Foundation works to defend human rights, advance global conservation and security, make cities better places, and understand how technology is affecting children and society. MacArthur is one of the nation's largest independent foundations. Through the support it provides, the Foundation fosters the development of knowledge, nurtures individual creativity, strengthens institutions, helps improve public policy, and provides information to the public, primarily through support for public interest media. The Foundation makes grants and loans through four programs. * International Programs focus on international issues, including human rights and international justice, peace and security, conservation and sustainable development, higher education in Nigeria and Russia, migration, and population and reproductive health. MacArthur grantees work in about 60 countries; the Foundation has offices in India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia. * U.S. Programs address issues in the United States, including community and economic development; housing, with a focus on the preservation of affordable rental housing; juvenile justice reform; education, with an emerging interest in digital media and learning; and policy research and analysis. * Media, Culture, and Special Initiatives support public interest media, including public radio, documentary programming, and work to explore the use of digital technologies to reach and engage the public. Grants are also made to arts and cultural institutions in the Chicago area and for special initiatives. * The MacArthur Fellows Program awards five-year, unrestricted fellowships to individuals across all ages and fields who show exceptional merit and promise of continued creative work. It is limited to U.S. citizens and residents. John D. MacArthur (1897-1978) developed and owned Bankers Life and Casualty Company and other businesses, as well as considerable property in Florida and New York. His wife Catherine (1909-1981) held positions in many of these companies and served as a director of the Foundation.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. The Annotator is an open-source JavaScript library and tool that can be added to any webpage to make it annotatable. Annotations can have comments, tags, users and more. Moreover, the Annotator is designed for easy extensibility so its a cinch to add a new feature or behavior. Adding annotation to your webpage using the Annotator is easy. Full instructions are in the Getting Started section of the docs, but it is just two short steps. First, you need to download the Annotator library (or link to the hosted version), include it on your page along with jQuery. Then add the following line to initialize the annotator. $("#content").annotator(); Plug-ins can be included for adding functionality such as user accounts, tags, filtering and formatting. You'll need to store your data somewhere, luckily we've made this very simple to do using AnnotateIt, a hosted web service for storing annotations. Alternatively if you'd like to integrate the annotator with your own storage system check out the Docs for more information on the annotation format and store plugin. The bookmarklet is a simple tool that allows you to add the annotator to any webpage and save your annotations to AnnotateIt. Check it out at http://annotateit.org/.

The primary objective of this study is to establish a biobank of blood samples from amphetamine dependent patients in order to study genetic risk factors for this disease. This may ultimately shed new light on the pathophysiology of substance dependence and its relation to other psychiatric disorders, and suggest new approaches to prevention and treatment. Types of samples * EDTA whole blood * DNA Number of sample donors: 104 (June 2010)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. A repository of sequence specificity models and condition-specific regulatory activities for a large number of DNA- and RNA-binding proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Accurate and comprehensive information about the nucleotide sequence specificity of trans-acting factors (TFs) is essential for computational and experimental analyses of gene regulatory networks. The sequence specificities in TransfactomeDB, represented as position-specific affinity matrices (PSAMs), are directly estimated from genomewide measurements of TF-binding using our previously published MatrixREDUCE algorithm, which is based on a biophysical model. For each mRNA expression profile in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus, we used sequence-based regression analysis to estimate the post-translational regulatory activity of each TF for which a PSAM is available. The trans-factor activity profiles across multiple experiments available in TransfactomeDB allow the user to explore potential regulatory roles of hundreds of TFs in any of thousands of microarray experiments.
