Question: What program used to classify DNA by autosomal results is National Institute of Standards and Technology certified?
Context: OmniPop is a program used to class populations by autosomal DNA results.  It is a Microsoft Excel file and requires Excel to run.  The program is recognized and used by NIST for the purpose of clustering autosomal markers and is also suggested by commercial genealogical genetics companies to their customers for use in understanding their results. Takashi Gojobori (五條堀 孝 , Gojobori Takashi , born October 24, 1951, Fukuoka) , a Japanese molecular biologist, is Vice-Director of the National Institute of Genetics (NIG) and Professor at Center for Information Biology and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) in NIG, Mishima, Japan.  He has also been co-appointed as the Special Research Consultant of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), as a Visiting Professor of Keio University, University of Tokyo, and Tokyo Institute of Technology and as a Visiting Research Director of RIKEN. PAX3 is a gene within the PAX family, a group of transcription factors consisting of proteins binding to DNA sequences to control gene transcription.  Pax3 is important in embryonic development because Pax3 is active in neural crest cells.  In conjunction with Msx1, Pax3 guides the expression of Snail1 and Snail2 down-regulating adhesion molecules.  This allows neural crest cells to become mesenchymal cells that migrate throughout the body and become bones and muscles around the face, the parasympathetic nervous system, and other structural components.  As a result, mutations within Pax3 generally result in developmental malformations because neural crest cells cannot move to the necessary parts of the body to complete their function.  Craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome is an example of an autosomal dominant disease resulting from a missense mutation in exon2 of Pax3.  This mutation results in replacing the amino acid asparagine with lysine, inhibiting the Pax3 protein from binding to the necessary DNA.  Craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome has distinctive symptoms, such as an underdeveloped nasal bone, a small mouth and upper-jaw, pursed lips, and wide spaced eyes with narrowed eye openings.  Hearing loss and deformities in hand muscles are common.  Hand abnormalities typically present themselves as angled and bent fingers.  Depending on the severity, finger and hand movement can be limited.  Despite these physical malformations, individuals have normal intelligence and an active life.  Diagnosis involves genotyping and collaborative efforts from orthopedists, pediatricians, and ophthalmologists.  While there are knockout models developed for Pax3, they focused on cancers rather than this syndrome. Science and technology in Brazil has entered the international arena in recent decades.  The central agency for science and technology in Brazil is the Ministry of Science and Technology, which includes the CNPq and Finep.  This ministry also has direct supervision over the National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE), the National Institute of Amazonian Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia - INPA), and the National Institute of Technology (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia - INT).  The ministry is also responsible for the Secretariat for Computer and Automation Policy (Secretaria de Política de Informática e Automação - SPIA), which is the successor of the SEI.  The Ministry of Science and Technology, which the Sarney government created in March 1985, was headed initially by a person associated with the nationalist ideologies of the past.  Although the new minister was able to raise the budget for the science and technology sector, he remained isolated within the government and had no influence on policy making for the economy. An Independent Testing Authority (ITA) is a laboratory certified by the United States-based National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) to test voting systems to the Voting System Standards (VSS) or the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) in the process of certifying voting systems.  The Election Assistance Commission has taken over the responsibility for accrediting such laboratories and now uses the National Institute of Standards and Technology's National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program.  Under the EAC process, ITA's are now known as Voting System Testing Laboratories (VSTLs). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a measurement standards laboratory, and a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce.  Its mission is to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness. Bacilladnavirus is a genus of single stranded DNA viruses.  Species in this genus infect diatoms.  The name is derived from the phrase: ss"DNA virus" infecting "Bacilla"riophytes.  Although other single-stranded DNA viruses which infect diatoms have been discovered ("Chaetoceros debilis" DNA virus (CdebDNAV), "C. tenuissimus" DNA virus (CtenDNAV), "C. lorenzianus" DNA virus (ClorDNAV), "C." sp.  strain TG07-C28 DNA virus (Csp05DNAV), "C. setoensis" DNA virus (CsetDNAV), and "Thalassionema nitzschioides" DNA virus (TnitDNAV)), the only species officially classified in this genus is "Chaetoceros salsugineum DNA virus 01" (CsalDNAV01.)  In addition, 4 genomes of uncultured bacilladnaviruses have been sequenced directly from environmental samples.  It was suggested that the family "Bacilladnaviridae" be used to classify these viruses, but its official approval by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses is pending. Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT Bhopal), also known as National Institute of Technology, Bhopal (NIT Bhopal, NIT-B), formerly Maulana Azad College of Technology (MACT) and Regional Engineering College Bhopal, is an Institute of National Importance under the NIT Act in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.  It is part of the group of publicly funded institutions in India known as National Institute of Technology. The National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) is a secure research data repository promoting scientific data sharing and collaboration among autism spectrum disorder (ASD) investigators.  The project was launched in 2006 as a joint effort between five institutes and centers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH): the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the Center for Information Technology (CIT).  The goal of NDAR is to provide a shared common platform for data collection, retrieval, and archiving to accelerate the advancement of research on autism spectrum disorders.  The largest repository of its kind, NDAR makes available data at all levels of biological and behavioral organization for all data types.  As of November 2013, data from over 90,000 research participants are available to qualified investigators through the NDAR portal.  Summary information about the available data is accessible through the NDAR public website. A molecular marker is a molecule contained within a sample taken from an organism (biological markers) or other matter.  It can be used to reveal certain characteristics about the respective source.  DNA, for example, is a molecular marker containing information about genetic disorders, genealogy and the evolutionary history of life.  Specific regions of the DNA (genetic markers) are used to diagnose the autosomal recessive genetic disorder cystic fibrosis, taxonomic affinity (phylogenetics) and identity (DNA Barcoding).  Further, life forms are known to shed unique chemicals, including DNA, into the environment as evidence of their presence in a particular location.  Other biological markers, like proteins, are used in diagnostic tests for complex neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease.  Non-biological molecular markers are also used, for example, in environmental studies.
