X3D Service Engine
This work is hosted by java.net.

In this research, we are applying modern Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) technologies to make complex visualizations realizable without intensive graphics programming; in fact, without writing code at all. A Visualization Service Bus is the integration of two powerful Extensible Markup Language (XML) technologies, Extensible 3D (X3D) and an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which allows users to integrate data and develop user defined visualizations together. Analysts use graphical interfaces to construct visual elements, assemble a dynamic scene, connect to and transform data from a variety of sources, and map scientific data to the scene. The development and implementation of this visualization architecture allows non-programmers to develop their own visualization applications for their specific needs. It will be shown that the Visualization Service Bus provides a codeless visualization programming framework by integrating X3D into an ESB.

New Nephele - Genotyping via Complete Composition Vectors and MapReduce
This work is hosted by Google.

The classic genotyping approach has been based on phylogenetic analysis, starting with a multiple sequence alignment. Genotypes are then established by expert examination of phylogenetic trees. However, such methods are suboptimal for a rapidly growing dataset, because they require significant human effort, and because they increase in computational complexity quickly with the number of sequences. This project uses a method for genotyping that does not depend on multiple sequence alignment. It uses the complete composition vector algorithm to represent each sequence in the dataset as a vector derived from its constituent k-mers, and affinity propagation clustering to group the sequences into genotypes based on a distance measure over the vectors. Our methods produce results that correlate well with expert-defined clades or genotypes, at a fraction of the computational cost of traditional phylogenetic methods.

This work is hosted by GitHub.

jCarafe contains a number of statistical models, the most notable being an implementation of conditional random fields for sequence modeling; it includes a variety of machine learning methods to learn the parameters of these models efficiently from human-annotated training data.

Sugarbind DB Application and Source Code
This work is hosted by EXPASY.

This database provides a list of known carbohydrate sequences to which pathogenic organisms specifically adhere. The data were compiled through an exhaustive search of literature published over the past 30 years by glycobiologists, microbiologists, and medical histologists. The database allows users to search for bacteria, toxins, and viruses that bind to a particular sequence of sugars at the non-reducing terminus of an oligosaccharide. Alternatively, one can learn which glycans are ligands of adhesins (lectins) expressed by a particular species. Abstracts of primary literature are easily accessed, and a list of citations can be printed from search results.

MIST (MITRE Identity Scrubber Toolkit) version 1.3
This work is hosted by SourceForge.

MIST is a MITRE-developed machine-learning based de-identification toolkit. The MIST toolkit makes possible the rapid tailoring of automated de-identification to particular document types and supports the transition of the de-identification software to medical end users, avoiding the need for developers to have access to original medical records.

L32 - Lightweight C32 Implementation
This work is hosted by GitHub.

Demonstrate a way for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to accelerate health data interoperability between their departments and with external partners across the full service member and veteran lifetime. It does this by addressing some of the challenges of exchanging continuity of care information in accordance with the HITSP C32 specification. L32 is intended as one consistent, machine-interpretable implementation of the HITSP C32 specification. The HITSP C32 Specification is a standard that addresses how to exchange continuity of care information in XML format. The L32 creates a constrained version C32 in that it greatly reduces the number of options available to someone generating a C32 document and constrains module contents to allow only relevant elements. We call this XML Schema, "L32", for "Lightweight C32 Implementation". L32 includes a W3C XML Schema and two XML stylesheets used to add and remove type declarations that make the XML schema more straight-forward and better able to capture the C32 constraints.
