db2db allows for conversions of identifiers from one database to other database identifiers or annotations. To use db2db select the input type of your data, changing the input type automatically changes the output options to the ones specific for the input selected. Then select one or more output types and add your identifiers in the ID list box. Set the remove duplicate values to 'No' if you do not want duplicates to be removed. Clicking on submit then returns a table of your inputs matched against all the outputs selected in the exact order as entered. Results can be limited to a particular taxon by entering it's Taxon ID. The performance will vary widely depending on the number of outputs and the options selected. Conversions to a single output with the default options should complete in a few seconds

MutaBind guides you through this process, step by step, starting with selecting a protein complex and inputting PDB code or uploading PDB files. You can also retrieve results with a job ID number, view help documents, and review the MutaBind method and references.

Calculate how much sequencing you need to hit a target depth of coverage (or vice versa).

Instructions: set the read length/configuration and genome size, then select what you want to calculate.

Written by Stephen Turner, based on the Lander-Waterman formula, inspired by a similar calculator written by James Hadfield. Coverage is calculated as C=LN/G and reads as N=CG/L where C = Coverage (X),L = Read length (bp), G = Haploid genome size (bp), and N = Number of reads. Source code on GitHub.

We developed a novel, self-contained technique named Near HGT, based on the synteny index, to measure the divergence of a gene from its native genomic environment and used it to identify candidate HGT events between closely related strains. The method confirms candidate transferred genes based on the constant relative mutability (CRM). Using CRM, the algorithm assigns a confidence score based on “unusual” sequence divergence. A gene exhibiting exceptional deviations according to both synteny and mutability criteria, is considered a validated HGT product. We first employed the technique to a set of three E. coli strains and detected several highly probable horizontally acquired genes. We then compared the method to existing HGT detection tools using a larger strain data set.

When combined with additional approaches our new algorithm provides richer picture and brings us closer to the goal of detecting all newly acquired genes in a particular strain.

Availability: The method is publicly available athttp://research.haifa.ac.il/~ssagi/software/nearHGT.zip
