MOLE 2.5 – Location and Characterization of Channels, Tunnels and Pores in Molecular Structures

MOLE 2.5

:: DESCRIPTION

Program MOLE is an universal toolkit for rapid and fully automated location and characterization of channels, tunnels and pores in molecular structures. The core of MOLE algorithm is a Dijsktra path search algorithm, which is applied to a Voronoi mesh. MOLE is a powerful software (overcomming some limitations of CAVER tool) for exploring large molecular channels, complex networks of channels and molecular dynamics trajectories (AMBER ascii traj and parm7 are supported) in which analysis of a large number of snapshots is required.

RepeatExplorer2 0.3.8 – Repeat Discovery and Characterization using Graph based Sequence Clustering

RepeatExplorer2 0.3.8

:: DESCRIPTION

RepeatExplorer is a computational pipeline designed to identify and characterize repetitive DNA elements in next-generation sequencing data from plant and animal genomes.

TAREAN (TAndem REpeat ANalyzer) is a computational pipeline for unsupervised identification of satellite repeats from unassembled sequence reads. The pipeline uses low-pass whole genome sequence reads and performs their graph-based clustering. Resulting clusters, representing all types of repeats, are then examined for the presence of circular structures and putative satellite repeats are reported.
