RNAmapper v1 – Use of RNA-Seq data to Map and Identify Mutations in Zebrafish

RNAmapper v1

:: DESCRIPTION

RNAmapper uses RNA-seq data to identify both a region of the genome linked to a mutation as well as candidate mutations that may be causal for the phenotype of interest. We have shown that the method can identify mutations that cause nonsense or missense changes to codons, alter transcript splicing, or alter gene expression levels. Here you will find information on how to map your mutations using RNA-Seq data.

RNAAnalyzer – Identify Regulatory RNA Elements

RNAAnalyzer

:: DESCRIPTION

RNAAnalyzer is an integrated tool-box to identify regulatory RNA elements. The RNA analyzer collects general and specific information on any submitted RNA sequence or batch of sequences in FASTA format. It determines and rapidly scans the different regions of an RNA (including 5′ UTR, CDS, 3′ UTR in mRNA) and screens for specific RNA signals (in each of these regions, e.g. polyA-site, AU rich region etc. in 3′ UTR). It runs a fast folding RNA routine to provide an overview of the RNA fold. Furthermore it analyzes structure content, fold energy and stem loops.

DiNuP 1.3 – Identify Regions of Differential Nucleosome Positioning

DiNuP 1.3

:: DESCRIPTION

DiNuP compares the nucleosome profiles generated by high-throughput sequencing between different conditions. DiNuP provides a statistical p-value for each identified RDNP based on the difference of read distributions. DiNuP also empirically estimates the FDR as a cutoff when two samples have different sequencing depths and differentiate reliable RDNPs from the background noise. Evaluation of DiNuP showed it to be both sensitive and specific for the detection of changes in nucleosome location, occupancy and fuzziness. RDNPs that were identified using publicly available datasets revealed that nucleosome positioning dynamics are closely related to the epigenetic regulation of transcription.

CNAseg 1.0 – Identify CNVs in cancer from NGS data

CNAseg 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

CNAseg is a novel framework for the identification of CNA events that uses flowcell-to-flowcell variability to estimate the false positive rate and the depth of coverage to finalize copy number calls. HMMseg uses the Skellam distribution to compare read depth in tumour and control samples, which allows the use of smaller window sizes for copy number estimation and leads to greater sensitivity in pinpointing breakpoints for small CNAs.
