ULTRA (ULTRA Locates Tandemly Repetitive Areas) : Effective Labeling of Repetitive Genomic Sequence

Abhi — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:03:39 -0500

ULTRA is a tool to find and annotate tandem repeats inside genomic sequence. It is able to find repeats of any length and of any period (up to a maximum period of 4000). It can find highly decayed repeats missed by other software, and it will also be able to find very large repeats in highly repetitive sequence, regardless of the size of sequence or length of repeats. ULTRA offers meaningful annotation scores and can produce annotation P-values at user request.

Google Genomics

Reshma Khatun — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:14:14 -0500

Google Genomics provides an API to store, process, explore, and share DNA sequence reads, reference-based alignments, and variant calls, using Google's cloud infrastructure.

Store alignments and variant calls for one genome or a million.
Process genomic data in batch by running principal component analysis or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in minutes or hours, by using parallel computing frameworks like MapReduce.
Explore data by slicing alignments and variants by genomic range across one or multiple samples -- for your own algorithms or for visualization; or interactively process entire cohorts to find transition/transversion ratios, allelic frequency, genome-wide association and more using BigQuery.
Share genomic data with your research group, collaborators, the broader community, or the public. You decide.

Google Genomics is implementing the API defined by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health for visualization, analysis and more. Compliant software can access Google Genomics, local servers, or any other implementation.

CrocoBLAST: Optimized parallel implementation of local sequence alignment algorithms

Jit — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 05:03:10 -0500

Local sequence alignment is a cornerstone of bioinformatics, allowing to compare the amino-acid sequences of different proteins, or the nucleotide sequences of different pieces of DNA. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) has revolutionized the field of bioinformatics, and is currently implemented in all free and commercial bioinformatics packages. However, with the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and the development of new sequencing techniques, the utility of traditional BLAST implementations is limited. CrocoBLAST combines the accuracy and general applicability of BLAST with computational efficiency, accessibility, and user experience, so that NGS data can be analyzed efficiently even when only modest computational resources are available.

Celebrating Crystallography - An animated adventure

Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:59:00 -0500

NEW: Now with French or Spanish subtitles (click on the 'Captions' icon to select). Plus... Watch the French language version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvLu7BOsJhM X-ray crystallography is arguably one of the greatest innovations of the twentieth century, but not that many people know what it is or how it came about. Join us on an animated journey through the 100 year history of crystallography -- from the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg in 1913 to the surface of Mars! Narrated by structural biologist Stephen Curry and produced by animation company 12foot6, the film explores the extraordinary history of crystallography. To date 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to projects related to the field and X-ray crystallography remains the foremost technique in determining the structures of a huge range of complex molecules. This film was produced in celebration of the Bragg Centenary and was funded by STFC.

Breakpointer: using local mapping artifacts to support sequence breakpoint discovery from single-end reads

Jit — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:41:10 -0500

Breakpointer is a fast tool for locating sequence breakpoints from the alignment of single end reads (SE) produced by next generation sequencing (NGS). It adopts a heuristic method in searching for local mapping signatures created by insertion/deletions (indels) or more complex structural variants(SVs).
