Mauve 2.4.0 – Multiple Genome Alignments

Mauve 2.4.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Mauve is a system for efficiently constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignment provides a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of evolutionary dynamics on a new scale. Aligning whole genomes is a fundamentally different problem than aligning short sequences.

Mauve has been developed with the idea that a multiple genome aligner should require only modest computational resources. It employs algorithmic techniques that scale well in the amount of sequence being aligned. For example, a pair of Y. pestis genomes can be aligned in under a minute, while a group of 9 divergent Enterobacterial genomes can be aligned in a few hours.

MIL – Multiple Instance Learning for Protein-DNA Interaction Modeling

MIL

:: DESCRIPTION

MIL(multiple-instance learning) is a novel algorithm, which breaks each DNA sequence into multiple overlapping subsequences and models each subsequence separately, therefore implicitly takes into consideration binding site locations, resulting in both higher accuracy and better interpretability of the models.

Mugsy 1.2.3 – Multiple Whole Genome Alignment tool

Mugsy 1.2.3

:: DESCRIPTION

Mugsy is a multiple whole genome aligner. Mugsy uses Nucmer for pairwise alignment, a custom graph based segmentation procedure for identifying collinear regions, and the segment-based progressive multiple alignment strategy from Seqan::TCoffee. Mugsy accepts draft genomes in the form of multi-FASTA files and does not require a reference genome.

MGRA 1.0 – Multiple Genome Rearrangements and Ancestors

MGRA 1.0.

:: DESCRIPTION

MGRA is a software for reconstruction of phylogenetic trees as well as ancestral genomes and applied it to study the rearrangement history of seven mammalian genomes: human, chimpanzee, macaque, mouse, rat, dog, and opossum. MGRA relies on the new notion of the multiple breakpoint graphs to overcome some limitations of the existing approaches to ancestral genome reconstructions. In particular, we applied \MGRA to analyze the primate–rodent–carnivore controversy in mammalian phylogeny, i.e., the alternative between the primate–rodent and primate–carnivore clades. MGRA provided the rearrangement-based evidence, albeit limited, for the primate–carnivore clade as opposed to the currently favored primate–rodent clade.
