Screen & Clean – Software for Identifying Genome-Wide Associations

Screen & Clean

:: DESCRIPTION

Screen & Clean is a program that identifies associations between SNP allele count data and a continuous or binary phenotype. The core function is a screen that identifies the first K SNPs to enter an L1-penalized regression of the phenotype on the allele counts, where K is chosen by a stability criterion. The program includes several optional procedures that are turned off by default, including a pre-screen using marginal regression p-values, a second screen for pairwise interaction effects, and a multivariate regression clean of the screened SNPs. K may also be chosen directly by the user.

COMODO 2.0 – Identify Conserved Coexpression Modules between Organisms

COMODO 2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

COMODO (COnserved MODules across Organisms) is a coclustering procedure to identify conserved expression modules between two species. The method uses as input microarray data and a gene homology map and provides as output pairs of conserved modules and searches for the pair of modules for which the number of sharing homologs is statistically most significant relative to the size of the linked modules.

DDN – Identify Condition-specific Topological Changes in Biological Networks

DDN

:: DESCRIPTION

DDN (Differential Dependence Networks) is a software of analysis to detect statistically significant topological changes in the transcriptional networks between two biological conditions. We propose a local dependency model to represent the local structures of a network by a set of conditional probabilities.

CCH 20141012 – Identify Genomic Regions of Shared Ancestry

CCH 20141012

:: DESCRIPTION

CCH (Combinatorial Conflicting Homozygosity) uses dense Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotypes to identify regions of the genome inherited from a common ancestor among any or all subsets of a group. Analysis is rapid and can identify loci containing genes for dominant traits. CCH is robust to the presence of phenocopies and can detect undisclosed shared common ancestry.

TSDfinder – Identify Transposon Boundaries

TSDfinder

:: DESCRIPTION

TSDfinder is a program that defines the boundaries of a retrotransposed element based on the presence of TSDs (target site duplications). The TSDfinder program consists of several steps, including merging and determining the boundaries of a retrotransposed element, obtaining sequences surrounding the retrotransposed element, detecting potential TSDs, and scoring TSDs.

Diametrical Clustering – Identify Anti-correlated Gene Clusters

Diametrical Clustering

:: DESCRIPTION

Diametrical clustering is a software that explicitly identifies anti-correlated clusters of genes. Our algorithm proceeds by iteratively (i) re-partitioning the genes and (ii) computing the dominant singular vector of each gene cluster; each singular vector serving as the prototype of a ‘diametric’ cluster. We empirically show the effectiveness of the algorithm in identifying diametrical or anti-correlated clusters. Testing the algorithm on yeast cell cycle data, fibroblast gene expression data, and DNA microarray data from yeast mutants reveals that opposed cellular pathways can be discovered with this method.
