A set of standalone software programs for the automated processing of any genomic loci, with an emphasis on datasets consisting of ChIP-derived signal peaks. The software is able to identify individual binding / modification sites from enrichment loci, retrieve peak region sequences for motif discovery, and integrate experimental data with different classes of annotated elements throughout the genome. PeakAnalyzer requires a peak file and a feature annotation file in BED or GTF format. Complete annotation files for the current builds of the human (HG19) and mouse (MM9) genomes are provided with the software distribution.

http://droog.gs.washington.edu/polyphred/

Software program that compares fluorescence-based sequences across traces obtained from different individuals to identify heterozygous sites for single nucleotide substitutions. Its functions are integrated with the use of three other programs: Phred (Brent Ewing and Phil Green), Phrap (Phil Green), and Consed (David Gordon and Phil Green). PolyPhred identifies potential heterozygotes using the base calls and peak information provided by Phred and the sequence alignments provided by Phrap. Potential heterozygotes identified by PolyPhred are marked for rapid inspection using the Consed tool.

Data analysis service and software program that perform Operantional Taxonomic Units (OTUs) finding. It uses a three-step clustering for identifying OTUs. The first-step clustering is raw read filtering and trimming. The second step is error-free reads picking.. At the last step, OTU clustering is done at different distanct cutoffs (0.01, 0.02, 0.03... 0.12).

http://medblast.sibsnet.org/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs.

http://www.jcsg.org/

The JCSG is a multi-institutional consortium that aims to explore the expanding protein universe to find new challenges and opportunities to significantly contribute to new biology, chemistry and medicine through development of HT approaches to structural genomics. The mission of JCSG is to to operate a robust HT protein structure determination pipeline as a large-scale production center for PSI-2. A major goal is to ensure that innovative high-throughput approaches are developed that advance not only structural genomics, but also structural biology in general, via investigation of large numbers of high-value structures that populate protein fold and family space and by increasing the efficiency of structure determination at substantially reduced cost. The JCSG centralizes each core activity into single dedicated sites, each handling distinct, but interconnected objectives. This unique approach allows each specialized group to focus on its own area of expertise and provides well-defined interfaces among the groups. In addition, this approach addresses the requirements for the scalability needed to process large numbers of targets at a greatly reduced cost per target. JCSG production groups are: - Administrative Core - Bioinformatics Core - Crystallomics Core - Structure Determination Core - NMR Core JCSG is deeply committed to the development of new technologies that facilitate high throughput structural genomics. The areas of development include hardware, software, new experimental methods, and adaptation of existing technologies to advance genome research. In the hardware arena, their commitment is to the development of technologies that accelerate structure solution by increasing throughput rates at every stage of the production pipeline. Therefore, one major area of hardware development has been the implementation of robotics. In the software arena, they have developed enterprise resource software that track success, failures, and sample histories from target selection to PDB deposition, annotation and target management tools, and helper applications aimed at facilitating and automating multiple steps in the pipeline. Sponsors: The Joint Center for Structural Genomics is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), as part of the second phase of the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) of the National Institutes of Health (U54 GM074898).
