The January 2007 V5N1 Awareness Watch™ Newsletter is a freely available 45 page .pdf document (845KB) from the above URL. This month’s featured report is a special report and I will not have the normal Awareness Watch™ Spotters, Awareness Watch™ Book/Paper/Article Review or related Subject Tracer™ Information Blogs. This special report will be on my latest research and the associated report/article that has just been placed on line through LLRX.com . The title of my report is Deep Web Research 2007. This comprehensive report comprises hundreds of reliable sources to assist you in identifying best practices, strategies, websites and new technology applications which can be leveraged to mine the vast content of the deep web.

dbGaP – Database of Genotype and Phenotype
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gap

The database of Genotype and Phenotype (dbGaP) was developed to archive and distribute the results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype. Such studies include genome-wide association studies, medical sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, as well as association between genotype and non-clinical traits. The advent of high-throughput, cost-effective methods for genotyping and sequencing has provided powerful tools that allow for the generation of the massive amount of genotypic data required to make these analyses possible. dbGaP provides two levels of access – open and controlled – in order to allow broad release of non-sensitive data, while providing oversight and investigator accountability for sensitive data sets involving personal health information. Summaries of studies and the contents of measured variables as well as original study document text are generally available to the public, while access to individual-level data including phenotypic data tables and genotypes require varying levels of authorization. The data in dbGaP will be pre-competitive, and will not be protected by intellectual property patents. Investigators who agree to the terms of dbGaP data use may not restrict other investigators’ use of primary dbGaP data by filing intellectual property patents on it. However, the use of primary data from dbGaP to develop commercial products and tests to meet public health needs is encouraged.

Neural Processing Letters
http://www.springerlink.com/content/1573-773X/

Neural Processing Letters is an international journal publishing research results and innovative ideas in all fields of artificial neural networks. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit letters concerning any aspect of the Artificial Neural Networks field including, but not restricted to, theoretical developments, biological models, new formal modes, learning, applications, software and hardware developments, and prospective researches. The journal promotes fast exchange of information in the community of neural network researchers and users. The resurgence of interest in the field of artificial neural networks since the beginning of the 1980s is coupled to tremendous research activity in specialized or multidisciplinary groups. Research, however, is not possible without good communication between people and the exchange of information, especially in a field covering such different areas; fast communication is also a key aspect, and this is the reason for Neural Processing Letters.

FlyNote – Lighter Than a Blog
