HiCNorm – Removing Biases in Hi-C data via Poisson Regression

HiCNorm

:: DESCRIPTION

HiCNorm is a parametric model to remove systematic biases in the raw Hi-C contact maps. It relates chromatin interactions and systemic biases at the desired resolution level,resulting in a simple, yet accurate normalization procedure. Compared to the exiting Hi-C normalization method, our model has only a few parameters, is much easier to implement, can be interpreted intuitively, and achieves higher reproducibility in real Hi-C data

CAST 1.0 – Compositional Bias Detection Algorithm

CAST 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

CAST is a novel algorithm for low-complexity region detection and selective masking. The algorithm is based on multiple-pass Smith-Waterman comparison of the query sequence against twenty homopolymers with infinite gap penalties. The output of the algorithm is both the masked query sequence for further analysis, e.g. database searches, as well as the regions of low complexity.

ProBias/BIAS – Detect Compositional Bias in Biological Sequences

ProBias/BIAS

:: DESCRIPTION

BIAS: a novel sensitive method for the detection of user-defined compositional bias in biological sequences.
BIAS automatically searches a user-supplied protein sequence for segments that contain unusually dense clusters of user-specified amino acid types and computes analytical estimates of the statistical significance of each cluster. These estimates are based on the discrete scan statistics that allows one to detect segments that exhibit even subtle local deviations from the random independence model.

BiasViz 2 – Protein Amino Acid Bias Analysis Applet

BiasViz 2

:: DESCRIPTION

BiasViz can be used to look at the composition of amino acids within a sliding window given a multiple sequence alignment. The window size and amino acid(s) of interest can be modified and the results are displayed in real time, allowing the user to tweak both of these parameters to their liking. The values can also be downloaded as a CSV file which allows further visualization in a separate program such as Microsoft Excel.

RNASeqBias 1.0 – Bias Detection and Correction in RNA-Sequencing Data

RNASeqBias 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

RNASeqBias contains functions and sample data for detecting and correcting for biases in gene expression levels from RNA-Seq experiments. Considered bias factors are gene length, GC content and dinucleotide frequencies. Principal component analysis on GC content and dinucleotide frequencies are first performed, and the resulting principal components and gene length were used as covariates to fit a generalized additive model with smoothing spline on gene expression levels as response. The package also have codes to generate bias plots before and after bias correction, and to compare with other quantitative platforms.
