SMUG – Somatic Mutation Gleaner for Detecting Tumor Somatic Mutations

SMUG

:: DESCRIPTION

SMUG (Somatic Mutation Gleaner) was developed to effectively detect base substitutions and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) using next-generation sequencing data for normal and tumor tissues. It first screens bam files using walker programs (modules we developed to run under GATK), and then summarizes the results using Perl scripts.

Crann 1.04 – Detect Adaptive Evolution in Protein-coding DNA Sequences

Crann 1.04

:: DESCRIPTION

Crann (pronounced ‘crown’) is the Irish word for ‘tree’.Crann has been developed in order to provide fast heuristic methods of detecting adaptive evolution in protein-coding genes. It is important that the user understands the advantages and limitations of these methods. It is also important for the user to know that the software is designed to perform a number of different tasks, however the interpretation of the results is left entirely to the user.
