CDS-plotcon – Detect Enhanced Conservation in Coding Sequences

CDS-plotcon

:: DESCRIPTION

The software package CDS-plotcon is specifically designed to search for conserved functional elements within CDSs. It uses an average model of the expected mutation patterns within CDSs (incorporating a nucleotide mutation matrix, amino acid substitution matrix, sequence divergence parameter t, mean synonymous:nonsynonymous substitution ratio V and phylogenetic tree; it can handle up to three overlapping CDSs in different read-frames). Using this, it calculates the expected number of mutations across the alignment in each column and compares this with the observed number of mutations. The results are plotted along the genome, and optionally passed through a sliding window (clipped) mean filter

MinoTar – Predict microRNA Targets in Coding Sequence

MinoTar

:: DESCRIPTION

MinoTar predicts microRNA coding region targets by searching for highly conserved microRNA seed sites in coding regions. Conservation is judged conditionally on the observed amino acid evolution.

codaln 1.0 / code2aln 1.2 – Progressive Multiple Alignments of Partially Coding Sequences.

codaln 1.0 / code2aln 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

codaln is the successor of code2aln.codaln produces multiple nucleic acid alignments using information on coding and non-coding regions as part of the scoring function. This is done in order to prevent the problem of higher sequence divergency on the level of nucleic acids as compared to the underlying protein sequences in the case of coding at a certain region of the input nucleic acid sequences. The program allows plenty of user intervention to overrule the defaults.
