SPANR – Splicing-based Analysis of Variants

SPANR

:: DESCRIPTION

SPANR addresses a key unmet challenge in genomics research, which is to ascertain how single nucleotide variations (SNVs) cause splicing misregulation and may lead to disease. Unlike any other approach, this tool can analyze synonymous, missense and nonsense exonic SNVs, as well as intronic SNVs that are up to 300nt from splice junctions.

SNVMix2 – Detect Single Nucleotide Variants from Next Generation Sequencing

SNVMix2

:: DESCRIPTION

SNVMix is designed to detect single nucleotide variants from next generation sequencing data. SNVMix is a post-alignment tool. Given a pileup file (either Maq or Samtools format) as input and model parameters, SNVMix will output the probability that each position is one of three genotypes:  aa (homozygous for the reference allele, where the reference is the genome the reads were aligned to), ab (heterozygous) and bb (homozygous for a non-reference allele).  A tool for fitting the model using expectation maximization is also supplied (use -T option).

GPViz 1.2.8 – Dynamic Gene-centered Visualization of Genomic Regions and/or Variants

GPViz 1.2.8

:: DESCRIPTION

GPViz (GeneProteinViz) is a versatile Java-based software for dynamic gene-centered visualization of genomic regions and/or variants. User defined data can be loaded in common formats as resulting from analysis workflows used in sequencing applications and studied in the context of the gene, the corresponding transcript isoforms, proteins and their domains or other protein features. Both the genomic regions and variants can be also defined interactively.
