BetaScan 2 – Genome-wide Scan for Balancing Selection using Beta Statistic

BetaScan 2

:: DESCRIPTION

BetaScan is designed to calculate Beta, a summary statistic for the frequency spectrum (similar to Fay and Wu’s H, or Taajima’s D) sensitive to the signature of balancing selection.

Betascan 20081027 – Predict Beta-sheets from Sequence alone using Pairwise Probabilistic Modeling

Betascan 20081027

:: DESCRIPTION

BETASCAN calculates likelihood scores for potential beta-strands and strand-pairs based on correlations observed in parallel beta-sheets. The program then determines the strands and pairs with the greatest local likelihood for all of the sequence’s potential beta-structures.
