http://estscan.sourceforge.net/

ESTScan is a program that can detect coding regions in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. ESTScan will also detect and correct sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. As a result, the program may miss a few translated amino acids at either the N or the C terminus, but will detect coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity. ESTScan takes advantages of the bias in hexanucleotide usage found in coding regions relative to non-coding regions. This bias is formalized as an inhomogeneous 3-periodic fifth-order Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Additionally, the HMM of ESTScan has been extended to allows insertions and deletions when these improve the coding region statistics.

http://seqant.genetics.emory.edu/

A free web service and open source software package that performs rapid, automated annotation of DNA sequence variants (single base mutations, insertions, deletions) discovered with any sequencing platform. Variant sites are characterized with respect to their functional type (Silent, Replacement, 5' UTR, 3' UTR, Intronic, Intergenic), whether they have been previously submitted to dbSNP, and their evolutionary conservation. Annotated variants can be viewed directly on the web browser, downloaded in a tab delimited text file, or directly uploaded in a Browser Extended Data (BED) format to the UCSC genome browser. SeqAnt further identifies all loci harboring two or more coding sequence variants that help investigators identify potential compound heterozygous loci within exome sequencing experiments. In total, SeqAnt resolves a significant bottleneck by allowing an investigator to rapidly prioritize the functional analysis of those variants of interest.

http://mcx.sf.net/mmc/

A Monte Carlo (MC) solver for photon migration in 3D turbid media. Different from existing MC software designed for layered (such as MCML) or voxel-based media (such as MMC or tMCimg), MMC can represent a complex domain using a tetrahedral mesh. This not only greatly improves the accuracy of the solutions when modeling objects with smooth/complex boundaries, but also gives an efficient way to sample the problem domain to use less memory. The current version of MMC support multi-threaded programming and can give a almost proportional speed-up when using multiple CPU cores.

http://biomail.sourceforge.net/biomail/

BioMail is a small web-based application for medical researchers, biologists, and anyone who wants to know the latest information about a disease or a biological phenomenon. It is written to automate searching for recent scientific papers in the PubMed Medline database. BioMail is free and will stay free. What does BioMail do? Periodically BioMail does a user-customized Medline search and sends all matching articles recently added to Medline to the users'' e-mail address. HTML-formatted e-mails generated by BioMail can be used to view selected references in medline format (compatible with most reference manager programs). Why is BioMail helpful? If you use Medline, it may be hard to remember when you did your last search. Often you must scan titles you have already seen to be certain you didn''t miss an important reference. BioMail will perform routine searches for you. This program alerts users to all new papers in their fields automatically. It also helps the user to ''refine'' search patterns once and for all. There is no need to wonder: ''What was that great search pattern I used last Saturday?''. All patterns are safe in the database and can be accessed, tuned, or deleted any time. It is also useful for countries where access to the Internet is not yet widely available. If a person has a permanent e-mail address, but only sporadic www access, she/he only needs to fill out a BioMail form once and then will receive new references from Medline continually.
