Heatmapper: web-enabled heat mapping for all

Jit — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 08:34:41 -0500

Heatmapper is a freely available web server that allows users to interactively visualize their data in the form of heat maps through an easy-to-use graphical interface. Heatmapper is a versatile tool that allows users to easily create a wide variety of heat maps for many different data types and applications. Heatmapper allows users to generate, cluster and visualize:

1) expression-based heat maps from transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic experiments; 2) pairwise distance maps;

3) correlation maps;

4) image overlay heat maps;

5) latitude and longitude heat maps and

6) geopolitical (choropleth) heat maps.

Heatmapper offers a number of simple and intuitive customization options for easy adjustments to each heat map’s appearance and plotting parameters. Heatmapper also allows users to interactively explore their numeric data values by hovering their cursor over each heat map, or by using a searchable/sortable data table view.

KOALA: KEGG's internal annotation tool for K number assignment of KEGG GENES using SSEARCH computation

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 09:16:55 -0600

KOALA (KEGG Orthology And Links Annotation) is KEGG's internal annotation tool for K number assignment of KEGG GENES using SSEARCH computation. BlastKOALA and GhostKOALA assign K numbers to the user's sequence data by BLAST and GHOSTX searches, respectively, against a nonredundant set of KEGG GENES. Annotate Sequence in KEGG Mapper and Pathogen Checker in KEGG Pathogen are special interfaces to the BlastKOALA server and can be executed in an interactive mode. See Step-by-step Instructions.

Nieduszynski Group

Complete, accurate replication of the genome is essential for life. All chromosomes in eukaryotic cells must be duplicated and then segregated to daughter cells to ensure genetic integrity and produce the large number of cells that make up a multicellular organism. We are using genetic, genomic and computational methods to understand how chromosome replication is regulated to ensure genome stability. By focusing on the basic biology that underpins cell growth and division we aim to provide new insights that may help our understanding of diseases such as cancer and congenital disorders.

Cogent: a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences.

Jit — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 05:33:04 -0500

Cogent is a tool that identifies gene families and reconstructs the coding genome using high-quality transcriptome data without a reference genome, and can be used to check assemblies for the presence of these known coding sequences.

Cogent is a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences. It is designed to be used on Iso-Seq data and in cases where there is no reference genome or the ref genome is highly incomplete.

See a recent presentation on Cogent being applied to the Cuttlefish Iso-Seq data.

Chromonomer: a tool set for repairing and enhancing assembled genomes through integration of genetic maps and conserved synteny

Jit — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 05:38:46 -0600

Chromonomer is a program designed to integrate a genome assembly with a genetic map. Chromonomer tries very hard to identify and remove markers that are out of order in the genetic map, when considered against their local assembly order; and to identify scaffolds that have been incorrectly assembled according to the genetic map, and split those scaffolds.
