VAAST 2.0 – Identify Damaged Genes and Disease-causing Variants in Personal Genome Sequences

VAAST 2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

VAAST (the Variant Annotation, Analysis and Search Tool) is a probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST builds upon existing amino acid substitution (AAS) and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization, combining elements of both into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to identify damaged genes and deleterious variants with greater accuracy, and in an easy-to-use fashion. VAAST can score both coding and non-coding variants, evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. VAAST can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases, and it can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases. VAAST thus has a much greater scope of use than any existing methodology.

DigSee v2.01 – Disease Gene Search Engine with Evidence Sentence

DigSee v2.01

:: DESCRIPTION

DigSee is a text mining search engine to provide evidence sentences describing that “genes” are involved in the development of “disease” through “biological events”. Biological events such as gene expression, regulation, phosphorylation, localization, and protein catabolism play important roles in the development of diseases. Understanding the association between diseases and genes can be enhanced with the identification of involved biological events in this association. With input of (disease, genes, events), users can obtain Medline abstracts with highlighted evidence sentences.

DAPPLE v0.17 – Disease Association Protein-Protein Link Evaluator

DAPPLE v0.17

:: DESCRIPTION

DAPPLE looks for significant physical connectivity among proteins encoded for by genes in loci associated to disease according to protein-protein interactions reported in the literature. The hypothesis behind DAPPLE is that causal genetic variation affects a limited set of underlying mechanisms that are detectable by protein-protein interactions.

gTDT 0.01 – A group-wise TDT for Haplotype-based Association Testing of Rare Variants with complex Disease

gTDT 0.01

:: DESCRIPTION

gTDT implemented gene-based or group-wise TDT for rare variant aggregation analysis. Currently gTDT implemented haplotype-based tests for 6 models, M1-M6. It takes as input a ped file and a dat file that specify the relationships, and a VCF file that stores genotype data.

LRASSOC 1.1 – Analysis of Case-control Data for Diseases with Two Susceptiblity Loci

LRASSOC 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

LRASSOC suite deals with the situation where we have a case-control sample of affected and unaffected individuals with their marker genotypes for 2 biallelic marker loci. These 2 marker loci may be in linkage disequilibrium with 1 or 2 biallelic disease susceptibility loci and therefore affect disease risk through association or may themselves be disease susceptibility loci. We are interested in modelling the effects of the genotype on the probability of disease risk in order to draw conclusions regarding the nature of the joint effect of the loci. Among the issues we may wish to investigate are whether either of the 2 loci actually has an effect on disease risk, the strength and statistical significance of any effect, the nature of such an effect e.g is the effect additive on some scale or do the alleles at the same loci interact in a dominance effect. We also want to compare single and joint locus models to investigate how the strength and significance of the effect of each locus is affected by the presence or absence of the other in a model and, a related point, whether the additive and dominance effects of two loci are independent or whether they interact (often called epistasis in this context).
