YASS 1.15 – Genomic Similarity Search Tool

YASS 1.15

:: DESCRIPTION

YASS  (Yet Another Similarity Searcher) is a genomic similarity search tool, for nucleic (DNA/RNA) sequences in fasta or plain text format (it produces local pairwise alignments).  Like most of the heuristic DNA local alignment software (BLAST, FASTA, PATTERNHUNTER, BLASTZ …), YASS uses seeds to detect potential similarity regions, and then tries to extend them to actual alignments. This genomic search tool uses multiple transition constrained spaced seeds that enable to search more fuzzy repeats, as non-coding DNA/RNA. Another simple, but interesting feature is that you can specify the seed pattern used in the search step

Annokey – Gene-based Search for Key-terms in NCBI Gene Database and Associated PubMed Abstracts

Annokey

:: DESCRIPTION

Annokey is a command line tool for annotating gene lists with the results of a key-term search of the NCBI Gene database and linked PubMed article abstracts. Its purpose is to help users prioritise genes by relevance to a domain of interest, such as “breast cancer” or “DNA repair” etcetera. The user steers the search by specifying a ranked list of keywords and terms that are likely to be highly correlated with their domain of interest.

BlastR 2.2 – Searching and Clustering RNA

BlastR 2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

BlastR is a new method for searching Non-Coding RNAs in databases. The strategy we adopted relies on the use of the mutual information embedded in di-nucleotides. We have shown that this approach has better sensitivity and specifity than other softwares with comparable computational cost. BlastR package is a perl wrapper for BlastP and it is part of the T-Coffee distribution.
