Apollo: First instantaneous, collaborative genomic annotation editor available on the Web

Jit — Fri, 31 May 2019 19:55:39 -0500

Apollo is a plug-in for the JBrowse Genome Viewer.
In addition to genes and pseudogenes, users can annotate ncRNAs (snRNA, snoRNA, tRNA, rRNA), miRNAs, repeat regions, and transposable elements; each annotation type has its own configuration of the ‘Information Editor’.
History tracking with undo/redo functions is available.
Users are able to directly set an annotation to a specific state, choosing from the ‘History’ display.
Adding and updating PubMed IDs will prompt users with a publication title to confirm their submission.
Gene Ontology (GO) terms are supported and GO ID auto-completion has been incorporated.
Users may access a ‘Recent Changes’ page.
Help page with Apollo specific content is available.

PhenoGram

Jit — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:35:12 -0600

With PhenoGram researchers can create chomosomal ideograms annotated with lines in color at specific base-pair locations, or colored base-pair to base-pair regions, with or without other annotation. PhenoGram allows for annotation of chromosomal locations and/or regions with shapes in different colors, gene identifiers, or other text. PhenoGram also allows for creation of plots showing expanded chromosomal locations, providing a way to show results for specific chromosomal regions in greater detail.

MetaEuk - sensitive, high-throughput gene discovery and annotation for large-scale eukaryotic metagenomics

Jit — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 19:29:32 -0600

MetaEuk is a modular toolkit designed for large-scale gene discovery and annotation in eukaryotic metagenomic contigs. Metaeuk combines the fast and sensitive homology search capabilities of MMseqs2 with a dynamic programming procedure to recover optimal exons sets. It reduces redundancies in multiple discoveries of the same gene and resolves conflicting gene predictions on the same strand. MetaEuk is GPL-licensed open source software that is implemented in C++ and available for Linux and macOS. The software is designed to run on multiple cores.

CrowdGO: Machine learning and semantic similarity guided consensus Gene Ontology annotation

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 26 May 2022 00:59:49 -0500

CrowdGO is a protein Gene Ontology predictor using a meta approach, analyzing the predictions of other tools in order to get an improved precision and recall.

Please note that the CrowdGO snakemake workflow is currently only tested on Ubuntu. It should work on OSX, but please report any errors to maarten.reijnders@unil.ch or create an issue.

SNPGenie

Jit — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 17:38:02 -0500

SNPGenie is a Perl script for estimating evolutionary parameters, mainly from pooled next-generation sequencing (NGS) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant data. SNP reports (acceptable in a variety of formats) much each correspond to a single population, with variants called relative to a single reference sequence (one sequence in one FASTA file). Just run the main script, snpgenie.pl, in a directory containing the necessary input files, and we take care of the rest! For the earlier version, see Hughes Lab Bioinformatics Resource.
