Mesquite: A modular system for evolutionary analysis

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 06:54:32 -0500

Mesquite is modular, extendible software for evolutionary biology, designed to help biologists organize and analyze comparative data about organisms. Its emphasis is on phylogenetic analysis, but some of its modules concern population genetics, while others do non-phylogenetic multivariate analysis. Because it is modular, the analyses available depend on the modules installed.

Dahak: benchmarking and containerization of tools for analysis of complex non-clinical metagenomes.

BioStar — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 04:56:09 -0500

Dahak is a software suite that integrates state-of-the-art open source tools for metagenomic analyses. Tools in the dahak software suite will perform various steps in metagenomic analysis workflows including data pre-processing, metagenome assembly, taxonomic and functional classification, genome binning, and gene assignment. We aim to deliver the analytical framework as a robust and reliable containerized workflow system, which will be free from dependency, installation, and execution problems typically associated with other open-source bioinformatics solutions. This will maximize the transparency, data provenance (i.e., the process of tracing the origins of data and its movement through the workflow), and reproducibility.

DnaSP: DNA Sequence Polymorphism, is a software package for the analysis of DNA polymorphisms

Neel — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 19:51:38 -0600

DnaSP, DNA Sequence Polymorphism, is a software package for the analysis of DNA polymorphisms using data from a single locus (a multiple sequence aligned -MSA data), or from several loci (a Multiple-MSA data, such as formats generated by some assembler RAD-seq software). DnaSP can estimate several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations in noncoding, synonymous or nonsynonymous sites, or in various sorts of codon positions), as well as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion parameters.

Calculate the significance of the difference between two trends

BioStar — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 05:41:53 -0500

To calculate the significance of the difference between two trends, you can use a statistical test such as a t-test or ANOVA (analysis of variance). Here are the general steps to follow:

Define your null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (H1). For example, H0 might be that there is no significant difference between the two trends, while H1 might be that there is a significant difference.
Collect data on the two trends. Make sure that the data is independent, normally distributed, and has equal variances.
Calculate the means and standard deviations of each trend.
Calculate the test statistic using a t-test or ANOVA. The test statistic will depend on the specific test you choose, but it will generally compare the difference in means between the two trends to the variability within each trend.
Determine the p-value associated with the test statistic. The p-value represents the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as the one you calculated, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
Compare the p-value to your chosen significance level (usually 0.05 or 0.01). If the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the two trends. If the p-value is greater than the significance level, fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not enough evidence to support a significant difference.

It's important to note that the specific details of each step will depend on the type of test you choose and the software you use to perform the analysis.

The most common methods for comparing means include:

Methods	R function	Description
T-test	t.test()	Compare two groups (parametric)
Wilcoxon test	wilcox.test()	Compare two groups (non-parametric)
ANOVA	aov() or anova()	Compare multiple groups (parametric)
Kruskal-Wallis	kruskal.test()	Compare multiple groups (non-parametric)
