StarORF – Identification of the Protein(s) Encoded within a DNA sequence

StarORF

:: DESCRIPTION

StarORF facilitates the identification of the protein(s) encoded within a DNA sequence. Using StarORF, the DNA sequence is first transcribed into RNA and then translated into all the potential ORFs (Open Reading Frame) encoded within each of the six translation frames (3 in the forward direction and 3 in the reverse direction).

TAMO 20120321 – Analyze Transcriptional Regulation using DNA-sequence Motifs

TAMO 20120321

:: DESCRIPTION

TAMO  (Tools for Analysis of MOtifs) is developed around a unified motif representation of a position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM). Motif objects may be assembled from IUPAC-ambiguity codes, multiple sequence alignments, averages of other motifs, and matrices of frequencies or log-likelihood values. Motifs can printed, concatenated, indexed and sliced like text strings, or rendered as sequence logos. They can also be randomized, reverse-complemented, and recomputed using different assumptions about background base frequencies. Motifs can also store and report information about their origin, information content, and score. Finally, motifs can scan DNA sequences for instances of matching sites.

RHOM – Research of HOMogeneous regions in DNA sequences

RHOM

:: DESCRIPTION

RHOM (Research of HOMogeneous regions in DNA sequences) is software designed for the use of hidden Markov chain models for the segmentation of DNA sequences in homogeneous regions. R’HOM makes it possible to estimate a more realistic model of DNA sequence composition than a homogeneous Markov chain model and then to segment the sequence under this model. It has been used in particular to look for horizontal transfers in B. subtilis and to estimate models designed to calculate the significance of word counting. R’HOM has been developed in cooperation with the Laboratoire Statistique et Génome in Evry.

SPADS 1.0 – Spatial and Population Analysis of DNA Sequences

SPADS 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

SPADS is a population genetics software computing several summary statistics from populations or groups of populations, and implementing two clustering algorithms to study the genetic structure of populations. SPADS has been specifically developed for the analysis of DNA sequences. The first aim of SPADS is to compute, on real datasets, the summary statistics computed by PhyloGeoSim on each simulated datasets.

Sigma 2.0 BETA – Non-coding DNA Sequence Alignment

Sigma 2.0 BETA

:: DESCRIPTION

Sigma (Simple greedy multiple alignment) is an alignment program with a new algorithm and scoring scheme designed specifically for non-coding DNA sequence.This problem is now growing in importance with the increasing number of fully-sequenced species. In particular, studies of gene regulation seek to take advantage of comparative genomics, and recent algorithms (such as PhyloGibbs) for finding regulatory sites in phylogenetically-related intergenic sequence require alignment as a preprocessing step.
