Hybsweeper 02 – Detect High-density Plate Gridding Coordinates

Hybsweeper 02

:: DESCRIPTION

 Hybsweeper was developed to handle images of high-density gridding patterns which were matched to clones housed in microtiter dishes. As high-throughput methodologies contribute to large archives of stored clone resources, methods need to be available for convenient processing of hybridization information for the retrieval of the clones needed for research endeavors. A Java software package, Hybsweeper, was developed to select clone identities from autoradiographs which were generated through simple probing methods, overgo probe hybridizations, and isolation of unique clones from saturation hybridization.

SplazerS 1.1 – Detect Genomic Indel Variants with exact Breakpoints in Single- and Paired-end Sequencing

SplazerS 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

SplazerS (Split Read Mapping as a branch of RazerS) is a tool for mapping reads containing structural variants, implemented in the highly efficient SeqAn C++ software library. SplazerS employs “split” read mapping, where prefix and suffix match of a read may be interrupted by a longer gap. This split read mapping is useful in the context of mRNA sequencing, where introns cause so-called junction reads that span exon-exon boundaries, or for the detection of small to medium-sized insertions and deletions in genomic data.

MLOGD – Detect Overlapping CDSs from Multiple Alignments

MLOGD

:: DESCRIPTION

MLOGD (Maximum Likelihood Overlapping Gene Detector) is a suite of software for detecting new protein-coding sequences (CDSs) by analysing the pattern of mutations across an input sequence alignment. In particular, the software can be used to detect new CDSs that overlap known CDSs in a different read-frame. Such CDSs can be difficult to detect with standard gene-finding algorithms (see below). The software is particularly useful for analysing virus genome alignments, where overlapping genes and ribosomal frameshifting sites are common.

LGT3State 20081223 – Detect LGT (swapping) of two non-homologous Enzymes

LGT3State 20081223

:: DESCRIPTION

LGT3State is a program for inferring lateral gene transfer (LGT) in cases where there are two non-homologous genes, where each gene performs the same function (which is essential to the cell). Thus, there are three states which may characterize an organism: (a) it encodes gene A, (b) it encodes gene B, (c), it encodes both genes A and B.

M-GCAT 2.0 beta – Detect Highly Conserved Regions in Multiple Genomes with Rearrangements and Repeats

M-GCAT 2.0 beta

:: DESCRIPTION

M-GCAT is a tool for rapidly visualizing and aligning the most highly conserved regions in multiple (typically prokaryote) genomes. M-GCAT is based upon a highly efficient approach to anchor-based multiple genome comparison using a compressed suffix graph and thus can construct multiple genome alignment frameworks in closely related species usually in a few minutes. A couple of important limitations include (1) input sequences MUST be assembled, and (2) the comparison is reference-sequence biased.

CloseUp – Detect Chromosomal Homology Using Gene Density Alone

CloseUp

:: DESCRIPTION

CloseUp is a new algorithm for the statistical detection of chromosomal homology, which uses shared-gene density alone to fully exploit the observation that relaxing colinearity requirements in general is beneficial for homology detection and at the same time optimizes computation time. CloseUp has two components: the identification of candidate homologous regions followed by their statistical evaluation using Monte Carlo methods and data randomization.
