OrthoMCL 2.0.9 – Genome-scale Algorithm for Grouping Orthologous Protein Sequences

OrthoMCL 2.0.9

:: DESCRIPTION

OrthoMCL is a genome-scale algorithm for grouping orthologous protein sequences. It provides not only groups shared by two or more species/genomes, but also groups representing species-specific gene expansion families. So it serves as an important utility for automated eukaryotic genome annotation. OrthoMCL starts with reciprocal best hits within each genome as potential in-paralog/recent paralog pairs and reciprocal best hits across any two genomes as potential ortholog pairs. Related proteins are interlinked in a similarity graph.

SERIAL CLONER 2.6.1 – DNA Cloning, Sequence Analysis & Visualisation

SERIAL CLONER 2.6.1

:: DESCRIPTION

Serial Cloner has been developed to provide a light molecular biology software to both Macintosh and Windows users. Serial Cloner reads and write DNA Strider-compatible files and import and export files in the universal FASTA format. Serial Cloner also import files saved in the Vector NTI, ApE, pDRAW32 and GenBank formats. Import from MacVector is also possible now.  Powerful graphical display tools and simple interfaces help the analysis and construction steps in a very intuitive way. Serial Cloner  handles Annotations and Features both in the sequence and in the Graphic Map.

MuSeqBox 20210507 – Multi-query Sequence Blast Output Examination

MuSeqBox 20210507

:: DESCRIPTION

MuSeqBox (Multi-query Sequence Blast Output Examination)is a program designed for multi-query sequence BLAST output examination. It examines the BLAST output, extracts the informative parameters of BLAST hits, and saves them in tabular form in either text or HTML format. The hit tables are optionally further analyzed with the program to produce subsets of BLAST hits according to user-specified criteria. In particular, BLASTX output may be further analyzed to indicate queries that might potentially be alternatively spliced transcripts (e.g., an extra large segment of insertion or deletion), full-length coding sequences, or contains repeat structures.

MetWAMer 1.3.3 – Translation Initiation Site (TIS) Identification

MetWAMer 1.3.3

:: DESCRIPTION

MetWAMer currently implements five distinct methods for TIS prediction, the most accurate of which is a routine that combines weighted, signal-based translation initiation site scores and the contrast in coding potential of sequences flanking TISs using a perceptron. Also, our program implements clustering capabilities through use of the k-medoids algorithm, thereby enabling cluster-specific TIS parameter utilization. In practice, our static weight array matrix-based indexing method for parameter set lookup can be used with good results in data sets exhibiting moderate levels of 5′-complete coverage.

yrGATE 2.0.1 – Gene Structure Annotation Tool

yrGATE 2.0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

yrGATE (Your Gene structure Annotation Tool for Eukaryotes) is a web-based gene-structure annotation tool for the identification and dissemination of eukaryotic genes.yrGATE provides an Annotation Tool and Community Utilities for worldwide web-based community genome and gene annotation. Annotators can evaluate gene structure evidence derived from multiple sources to create gene structure annotations. Administrators regulate the acceptance of annotations into published gene sets. yrGATE is designed to facilitate rapid and accurate annotation of emerging genomes as well as to confirm, refine, or correct currently published annotations. yrGATE is highly portable and supports different standard input and output formats.
