An online toolbox and workflow management system for a broad range of bioinformatic and systems biology applications. The individual modules, or Bricks, are unified under a standardized interface, with a consistent look-and-feel and can flexibly be put together to comprehensive workflows. The workflow management is intuitively handled through a simple drag-and-drop system. With this system, you can edit the predefined workflows or compose your own workflows from scratch. Your own Bricks can easily be added as scripts or plug-ins and can be used in combination with pre-existing analyses. GeneXplain GmbH provides a number of state-of-the-art bricks; some of them can be obtained free of charge, while others require licensing for small fee in order to guarantee active maintenance and dynamic adaptation to the rapidly developing know-how in this field.

http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/mwas.html

The MAKER Web Annotation Service (MWAS) is an easily configurable web-accessible genome annotation pipeline. It''''s purpose is to allow research groups with small to intermediate amounts of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome sequence (i.e. BAC clones, small whole genomes, preliminary sequencing data, etc.) to independently annotate and analyze their data and produce output that can be loaded into a genome database. MWAS is build on the stand alone genome annotation pipeline MAKER, and users who wish to annotate larger datasets and whole genomes are free to download MAKER for use on their own systems. MWAS identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values. MWAS can also automatically train popular gene prediction algorithms for use on new genomes for which pre-existing information is limited. MAKER is a member of the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project and output produced by this site can be directly used with other GMOD tools. Annotations can be directly viewed online by the user via GBrowse, JBrowse, and Apollo, or they can be downloaded for local analysis and integration into a genome database. MWAS also supplies summary statistics on sequence features via the Sequence Ontology tool SOBA. MWAS should prove especially useful for emerging model organism genome projects with minimal bioinformatics expertise and computer resources, since a user can produce final genome annotations without having to install and configure any software locally.

http://lbgi.fr/balibase/

A collection of high quality multiple sequence alignments for objective, comparative studies of alignment algorithms. The alignments are constructed based on 3D structure superposition and manually refined to ensure alignment of important functional residues. A number of subsets are defined covering many of the most important problems encountered when aligning real sets of proteins. It is specifically designed to serve as an evaluation resource to address all the problems encountered when aligning complete sequences. The first release provided sets of reference alignments dealing with the problems of high variability, unequal repartition and large N/C-terminal extensions and internal insertions. Version 2.0 of the database incorporates three new reference sets of alignments containing structural repeats, trans-membrane sequences and circular permutations to evaluate the accuracy of detection/prediction and alignment of these complex sequences.
Within the resource, users can look at a list of all the alignments, download the whole database by ftp, get the "c" program to compare a test alignment with the BAliBASE reference (The source code for the program is freely available), or look at the results of a comparison study of several multiple alignment programs, using BAliBASE reference sets.

http://www.ch.embnet.org/software/COILS_form.html

COILS is a program that compares a sequence to a database of known parallel two-stranded coiled-coils and derives a similarity score. By comparing this score to the distribution of scores in globular and coiled-coil proteins, the program then calculates the probability that the sequence will adopt a coiled-coil conformation.
