ncFANs v2 – non-coding RNA Function Annotation Server

ncFANs v2

:: DESCRIPTION

ncFANs (non-coding RNA Function Annotation Server) re-annotates microarray data and predict ncRNAs functions of interest to the user/functions of Your Favorite ncRNA (YFN). The ncFANs services presently includes to two organisms and three microarray platforms. This is the first web service for the function annotation of long ncRNAs. We believe it will be an important tool for researchers to further analyze the roles of long ncRNAs in various biological processes.

V-FAT 1.1 – Automated Finishing, Annotation, and QA tool for Viral Assemblies

V-FAT 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

V-FAT (Viral Finishing and Annotation Toolkit) is a tool to perform automated computational finishing and annotation of de novo viral assemblies. V-FAT uses reference and read data to order and merge contigs, correct frameshifts, and produce NCBI-ready annotation files. It also performs a set of quality assurance measurements including coverage computation by gene or amplicon and identification of potential consensus errors.

Jannotatix 0.8 – Sequence and Annotation Viewer

Jannotatix 0.8

:: DESCRIPTION

Jannotatix allows you to run algorithms that create predictions or annotations on a set of sequences. Examples are repeat finders, gene finders, splicing or binding site predictors. The results are returned in a common format and can be filtered, viewed and compared using a graphical interface. The main application at the moment is motif discovery on promotor sequences.

svmPRAT 1.0 – svm-Based Protein Residue Annotation Toolkit

svmPRAT 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

svmPRAT is a general purpose protein residue annotation toolkit to allow biologists to formulate residue-wise prediction problems. svmPRAT formulates annotation problem as a classification or regression problem using support vector machines. The key features of svmPRAT are its ease of use to incorporate any user-provided information in the form of feature matrices. For every residue svmPRAT captures local information around the reside to create fixed length feature vectors. svmPRAT implements accurate and fast kernel functions, and also introduces a flexible window-based encoding scheme that allows better capture of signals for certain prediction problems.

PMUT – Web-based Tool for the Annotation of Pathological Mutations on Proteins

PMUT

:: DESCRIPTION

PMUT is a web-based tool for the annotation of pathological mutations on proteins. PMUT allows the fast and accurate prediction (~80% success rate in humans) of the pathological character of single point amino acidic mutations based on the use of neural networks. The program also allows the fast scanning of mutational hot spots, which are obtained by three procedures: (1) alanine scanning, (2) massive mutation and (3) genetically accessible mutations.
