GFS – Genome-based Fingerprint Scanning

GFS

:: DESCRIPTION

GFS (Genome-based fingerprint scanning) is a program that maps peptide mass fingerprint data directly to raw genomic sequence, enabling rapid, low-cost identification of proteins in genomes for which annotation is lacking. An experimentally obtained peptide mass fingerprint is entered into the program, which then scans a genome sequence of interest, and outputs the most likely regions of the genome from which the mass fingerprint is derived.

The Upton lab developed this JAVA interface to GFS and is grateful to the Giddings lab for access to the software and their help.

GATU – Genome Annotation Transfer Utility

GATU

:: DESCRIPTION

GATU (Genome Annotation Transfer Utility) annotates a genome based on a very closely related reference genome. The proteins/mature peptides of the reference genome are BLASTed against the genome to be annotated in order to find the genes/mature peptides in the genome to be annotated.

FR-HIT 0.7.1 – Recruit Metagenomic Reads to Homologous Reference Genome

FR-HIT 0.7.1

:: DESCRIPTION

FR-HIT is a Very Fast Program to Recruit Metagenomic Reads to Homologous Reference Genomes.Fragment recruitment, a process of aligning sequencing reads to reference genomes, is a crucial step in metagenomic data analysis. The available sequence alignment programs are either slow or insufficient for recruiting metagenomic reads. We implemented an efficient algorithm, FR-HIT, for fragment recruitment. We applied FR-HIT and several other tools including BLASTN, MegaBLAST, BLAT, LAST, SSAHA2, SOAP2, BWA and BWA-SW to recruit 4 metagenomic datasets from different type of sequencers. On average, FR-HIT and BLASTN recruited significantly more reads than other programs, FR-HIT is about 2 orders of magnitude faster than BLASTN. FR-HIT is slower than the fastest SOAP2, BWA and BWA-SW, but it recruited 1-5 times more reads.

GRS 1.0 – Compression tool for efficient Storage of Genome Re-Sequencing data

GRS 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

GRS is a novel compression tool for storing and analyzing Genome ReSequencing data. GRS is able to process the genome sequence data without the use of the reference SNPs and other sequence variation information and automatically rebuild the individual genome sequence data using the reference genome sequence.
