OSCAR 6.1.1 – Open Source Cluster Application Resources

OSCAR 6.1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

OSCAR (Open Source Cluster Application Resources) is a snapshot of the best known practices for building, programming and using a cluster. The toolkit is geared towards a modest sized cluster (50+ nodes) and features a wizard-based GUI for cluster installation.

RNAclust 1.3 – Cluster RNAs based on Secondary Structures

RNAclust 1.3

:: DESCRIPTION

RNAclust is a perl script summarizing all the single steps required for clustering of structured RNA motifs, i.e. identifying groups of RNA sequences sharing a secondary structure motif. It requires as input a multiple FASTA file. In the first step for each input sequence the base pair probability matrix of its secondary structure distribution is calculated (using RNAfold from the Vienna RNA package). Secondly, for each pair of base pair probability matrices a sequence-structure alignment is calculated using LocARNA. Lastly, a hierarchical cluster-tree (in NEWICK format) is derived by WPGMA clustering of the pairwise alignment distances and the optimal number of clusters is calculated from the tree.

Qgrid – Identify Clusters of Charged and Hydrophobic Regions in Proteins

Qgrid

:: DESCRIPTION

Qgrid is a server provides cluster tree diagrams for proteins based on the charges on the atoms or hydrophobicity of a residue. Euclidean distances between charged atoms (or CA atoms of hydrophobic residues) are calculated and cluster tree diagrams are generated using hierarchical clustering method. These diagrams can be used to visually inspect hydrophobic and charged regions in proteins quickly.

CCRXP – Identifies Clusters of Conserved Residues in Proteins using PDB files

CCRXP

:: DESCRIPTION

CCR XP tries to automate the detection and analysis of such clusters in protein structures.CCR XP is made of two input modules. CCR XP lite can be accessed directly (see query form on top), by uploading a PDB coordinate data or entering a PDB code and CCRs using default parameter settings for all protein chains in the coordinate file will be returned. The server will automatically (1) Extract fasta file from atom records (2) Find aligned sequences and calculate conservation scores (3) Cluster conserved residues and (4) Report several other structural properties of each residue as well as whole clusters, including their solvent accessibility that will allow to distinguish potential interface clusters from stabilizing core residues.

ClusterViz 0.2 – Cluster Visualisation

ClusterViz 0.2

:: DESCRIPTION

ClusterViz is a software to visualize the clustering process using the family of k-means algorithms. ClusterViz allows to cluster data while visualizing an up to three dimensional projection. The clustering process is visualized using OpenGL. As clustering algorithms the family of k-means algorithms is implemented, including mixture models.
