swgis v2.0 : a seqword genomic island sniffer

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 01 Nov 2018 12:35:52 -0500

swgis v2.0 is the modified version of the seqword genomic island sniffer. this version is specifically optimized for predicting genomic islands in eukaryotic genomes. swgis v2.0 was tested on several eukaryotic species of different lineages. all identified genomic islands were deposited in the eugi database.

National Training on Bioinformatics Computational Tools for Microbial Research Nov 19 to 30, 2013

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:49:34 -0500

Agricultural research in modern scientific arena is being represented by proper integration among various research fields of biological, chemical and physical sciences, because this field encompasses many more complexities of biology in nature. In the era of fast accumulating biological data coming out from the research on many crop plants, live stocks and microbes and the impact of changing climate, habitat and other interrelations on these biological entities, bioinformatics has come forward across the globe to solve the problems of analysis, prediction, storage, management, pattern recognition, submission, retrieval and storage of the data to find out a fruitful outcome. This area is becoming increasingly important in the context of systems biology approach where a holistic approach is required to understand the biology and chemistry of the biological entities and their behavior during environmental interactions to resolve the harmful impact of biotic or abiotic causes on crop plants, animals, fishes, livestock sector, beneficial insects as well as microbes. The National Training program on ‘Computational Tools for Microbial Research” is an initiative for the capacity building of NARS scientists/researchers in this most emerging area and fast developing area of i.e. agricultural bioinformatics.

NovoGraph: building whole genome graphs from long-read-based de novo assemblies

An algorithmically novel approach to construct a genome graph representation of long-read-based de novo sequence assemblies. We then provide a proof of principle by creating a genome graph of seven ethnically-diverse human genomes.

Mike Ritchie Lab

Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:25:45 -0500

Mike Ritchie Lab primary research focus is the detection of susceptibility genes for common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. The approaches will involve the development and application of new statistical methods with a focus on the detection of gene-gene interactions associated with human disease.

Gene expression and protein expression patterns between normal and non-normal tissues is a growing area of research that may lead to the identification of candidate genes for understanding the etiology of common, complex diseases.

LTR_retriever: accurately identifies and annotates LTR retrotransposons and use LAI to evaluates the continuity of genome assemblies.

Neel — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 07:14:31 -0600

LTR_retriever is a command line program (in Perl) for accurate identification of LTR retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) from outputs of LTRharvest, LTR_FINDER, and/or MGEScan-LTR and generating non-redundant LTR-RT library for genome annotations.

By default, the program will generate whole-genome LTR-RT annotation and the LTR Assembly Index (LAI) for evaluations of the assembly continuity of the input genome. Users can also run LAI separately (see Usage).

DbBrowser: Attwood Lab

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:48:19 -0500

DbBrowser: Attwood Lab research concerns protein sequence analysis, primarily using the method of protein 'fingerprinting'. DbBrowser: Attwood Lab maintain a diagnostic fingerprint database (PRINTS), one of the founding partner of InterPro. We also design software to display sequence and structural data in visually-striking ways (e.g., Ambrosia, CINEMA); DbBrowser: Attwood Lab are building re-usable software components to create semantically integrated bioinformatics applications through UTOPIA, including a 'smart' PDF reader that links bioinformatics databases and tools directly with scientific articles (Utopia Documents); and have developed a number of tools for automatic annotation and text mining (e.g., MINOTAUR, PRECIS, METIS).
