integron_gene_fetch 1.0 – Discovery of Chromosomal Integrons from Metagenomic Sequences

integron_gene_fetch 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

integron_gene_fetch is developed to get integron genes from metagenomic sequencing reads. It is capable of getting the integron mobile genes more efficiently, as these genes are extremely difficult to be detected in whole-genome assembly.  By assembling the dataset and traces all potential paths between any two contigs that consist of recombination sites, the integron_gene_fetch tool is able to get more integron genes given a pre-determined set of recombination site sequences.

RetroSeq 1.41 – Transposable Element Discovery from Next-generation sequencing data

RetroSeq 1.41

:: DESCRIPTION

RetroSeq is a tool for discovery and genotyping of transposable element variants (TEVs) (also known as mobile element insertions) from next-gen sequencing reads aligned to a reference genome in BAM format. The goal is to call TEVs that are not present in the reference genome but present in the sample that has been sequenced. It should be noted that RetroSeq can be used to locate any class of viral insertion in any species where whole-genome sequencing data with a suitable reference genome is available.

NMF – Metagenes and Molecular Pattern discovery using Matrix Factorization

NMF

:: DESCRIPTION

NMF (Non-negative Matrix Factorization), an algorithm based on decomposition-by-parts, recovers meaningful information without supervision. Coupled with a novel model selection mechanism, and efficiently implemented in Matlab, NMF is a powerful method for identification of context-dependent patterns in complex biological systems.

DASS – Discovery and P-value Calculation of Substructures in Unordered data

DASS

:: DESCRIPTION

DASS (Discovery of All Significant Substructures) that first identifies all substructures in unordered data (DASSSub) in a manner that is especially efficient for modular data. In addition, DASS calculates the statistical significance of the identified substructures, for sets with at most one element of each type (DASSPset), or for sets with multiple occurrence of elements (DASSPmset).

Mosclust 1.0 – Discovery of Significant Structures in Bio-molecular data

Mosclust 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

The mosclust R package (that stands for model order selection for clustering problems) implements a set of functions to discover significant structures in bio-molecular data. One of the main problems in unsupervised clustering analysis is the assessment of the “natural” number of clusters. Several methods and software tools have been proposed to tackle this problem
