OpWise – Operons Aid the Identification of differentially Expressed Genes in Bacterial Microarray Experiments

OpWise

:: DESCRIPTION

To estimate the reliability of bacterial microarray experiments, OpWise uses the agreement of measurements within operons to estimate the amount of systematic bias in the data. OpWise relies on the MicrobesOnline operons predictions.

MultiGeneBlast 1.1.14 – Combined BLAST searches for Operons and Gene Clusters

MultiGeneBlast 1.1.14

:: DESCRIPTION

MultiGeneBlast is an open source tool for identification of homologs of multigene modules such as operons and gene clusters. It is based on a reformatting of the FASTA headers of NCBI GenBank protein entries, using which it can track down their source nucleotide and coordinates.

LOCP – Locating Pilus Operons in Gram-positive Bacteria

LOCP

:: DESCRIPTION

LOCP is designed to LOCate putative Pilus operons in Gram-positive prokaryotes. This is done in two steps: First, pilus-related sequences are identified by hmmsearch with a carefully selected set of profile Hidden Markov Models (HMM). Each protein sequence is then labeled either with the matching HMM models, or with the null-model, if the maximum bit score of all matches is below zero. Sequences labeled with HMMs are referred as hits and those labeled with null-model as gaps. Second, chromosome regions with statistically significant clustering of hits are located using hypergeometrical distribution and Monte Carlo simulations. These regions are referred as Pilus Like Dense Regions (PLDRs).
