SimMLST 1.0 – Simulation of MLST data under a Neutral Model

SimMLST 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

SimMLST, a coalescent method to jointly simulate MLST data and the clonal genealogy that gave rise to the sample. Such simulations are useful to make interpretations about real datasets.Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) is a widely used method of characterization of bacterial isolates. It has been applied to over 50,000 isolates in over 50 different species and its results are freely available from the pubMLST website.

geneRegulationSimulation – Perform Simulations for Transcription Regulation Network

geneRegulationSimulation

:: DESCRIPTION

geneRegulationSimulation (Gene Regulation Simulation Tool) is based on the computational model described in ““Faithful modeling of transient expression and its application to elucidating negative feedback regulation”” with several extensions. It consists of two programs. The first (“net2text”) implements an interface for the user and the second (“model”) performs the simulations and outputs their results.

ProtoMol 3.3 – Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation

ProtoMol 3.3

:: DESCRIPTION

ProtoMol is an object-oriented, component based, framework for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The framework supports the CHARMM 19 and 28a2 force fields and is able to process PDB, PSF, XYZ and DCD trajectory files. It is designed for high flexibility, easy extendibility and maintenance, and high performance demands, including parallelization. The technique of multiple time-stepping is used to improve long-term efficiency. The use of fast electrostatic force evaluation algorithms like Ewald, particle Mesh Ewald (PME), and Multigrid (MG) summation further enhances performance. Longer time steps are possible using MOLLY, Langevin Molly and Hybrid Monte Carlo, Nose-Hoover, and Langevin integrators.

NAST 1.0 – Nucleic Acid Simulation Tool

NAST 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

NAST (Nucleic Acid Simulation Toolkit) is a knowledge-based coarse-grained tool for modeling RNA structures. It produces a diverse set of plausible 3D structures that satisfy user-provided constraints based on:

1. primary sequence
2. known or predicted secondary structure
3. known or predicted tertiary contacts (optional)

Additionally, NAST can use residue-resolution experimental data (e.g. hydroxyl radical footprinting) to filter the generated decoy structures.
