EWAS: epigenome-wide association study software 2.0

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:14:00 -0500

EWAS2.0 can analyze EWAS data and identify the association between epigenetic variations and disease/phenotype. On the basis of EWAS1.0, we have added more distinctive features. EWAS2.0 software was developed based on our “population epigenetic framework” and can perform: (1) epigenome-wide single marker association study; (2) epigenome-wide methylation haplotype (meplotype) association study; and (3) epigenome-wide association meta-analysis.

OrthoANI: An improved algorithm and software for calculating average nucleotide identity

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 08:36:08 -0600

OAT uses OrthoANI to measure the overall similarity between two genome sequences. ANI and OrthoANI are comparable algorithms: they share the same species demarcation cut-off at 95~96% and large comparison studies have demonstrated both algorithms to produce near identical reciprocal similarities. Details of the OrthoANI algorithm is given in (Lee et al. 2015). OAT employs an easy-to-follow Graphical User Interface that allow researchers to calculate OrthoANI values between genomes of interest without unfamiliar Command Line Environments. Moreover, the OAT_cmd command-line software can be integrated into preexisting bioinformatics pipelines.

GEnView: A phylogeny based comparative genomics software to analyze the genetic environment of genes

Abhi — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 01:49:03 -0600

A phylogeny based comparative genomics software to analyze the genetic environment of genes. The user can select one or several taxa and provide one or several reference protein(s). Genomes and plasmids (based on user choice) will be downloaded from the NCBI Assembly/NR database and searched for the respective gene. Alternatively, custom genomes can be provided. User selected stretches (20kbp by default) of the genes genetic environment are extracted, annotated and aligned between all genomes. The sequences are then visualized, enabling comparison of synteny and gene content.

Przeworski lab

Mon, 15 Feb 2016 05:41:54 -0600

Genetic differences among individuals reflect the combined effects of mutation, recombination, population history and natural selection. As a result, studies of natural variation can provide important insights into evolutionary and genetic mechanisms: as examples, DNA sequence conservation among distantly related species can help identify functional roles too subtle to be detected in lab settings, while analyses of population variation allow for inferences about events that are too infrequent to be measured directly. Our research employs this general approach to learn about the dynamics of adaptation and the determinants of recombination and mutation, in humans and in other species.
