PDB-Explorer is a web application for the interactive visualization of chemical space of RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) characterized by protein shape fingerprint (3DP) and shape similarity search for molecules in PDB.
elPrep is a high-performance tool for preparing .sam/.bam/.cram files for variant calling in sequencing pipelines.It can be used as a drop-in replacement for SAMtools/Picard, and was extensively tested with different pipelines for variant analysis with GATK.
MethylViewer was developed from CpGviewer such that the program can now analyse up to four different methylation sites such as CpG, GpC, CpNpG or any four user defined sites. If a non-native DNA methylase is used to modify chromatin-bound DNA, the methylation pattern can be used to identify the binding sites of DNA-binding proteins.
(Weighted) Probabilistic substitution mapping – Compute all (weighted) number of substitutions occurring on each branch of a tree, for each site of an alignment.
Co-evolution analysis – Using the substitution mapping, look for significantly groups of sites departing the null hypothesis of independence. Two kind of analyzes are provided: a pairwise analysis, presented in Dutheil et al. (2005), and a clustering analysis in Dutheil and Galtier (2007). In both cases, a parametric bootstrap approach is used to evaluate the significance of groups. Simulation results are written to separate files, a statistics software like R is required to look for the significance.
GenGIS is a bioinformatics application that allows users to combine digital map data with information about biological sequences collected from the environment. GenGIS provides a 3D graphical interface in which the user can navigate and explore the data, as well as a Python interface that allows easy scripting of statistical analyses using the Rpy libraries.
EM-SURFER is a web platform for real-time electron microscopy database search. It compares isosurface shape of a query EM map against maps in the latest EMDB.
xMAN (extreme MApping of OligoNucleotides) is a simple and efficient method for the mapping of millions of query oligonucleotide fragments to the subject genome of any given length. xMAN is at least an order of magnitude faster than other popular existing tools.
MAP (Metagenomic Assembly program) is a de novo assembly approach and its implementation based on an improved Overlap/Layout/Consensus (OLC) strategy incorporated with several special algorithms.MAP uses the mate pair information, resulting in being more applicable to shotgun DNA reads (recommended as > 200 bp) currently widely-used in metagenome projects. Results of extensive tests on simulated data show that MAP can be superior to both Celera and Phrap for typical longer reads by Sanger sequencing, as well as has an evident advantage over Celera, Newbler, and the newest Genovo, for typical shorter reads by 454 sequencing.
