chibba.agtec.uga.edu - MCscan is a computer program that can simultaneously scan multiple genomes to identify homologous chromosomal regions and subsequently align these regions using genes as anchors. This is the toolset for generating the synteny correspondences...
www.biostat.wisc.edu - Our basic strategy in building homology maps is to use exons that are orthologous in multiple genomes as map "anchors." Given K genomes, the steps in the map construction are as follows:
For each genome, obtain a set of exon annotations. These...
www.sequenceontology.org - We have developed the Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome. We envisage its use during annotation jamborees, genome comparison and for use by developers...
ratt.sourceforge.net - RATT is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome.
It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between...
The genome assemblers generally take a file of short sequence reads and a file of quality-value as the input. Since the quality-value file for the high throughput short reads is usually highly memory-intensive, only a few assemblers, best suited for...
github.com - A comparative genome scaffolding tool based on MUMmer
mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the...
github.com - We propose AirLift, a methodology and tool for comprehensively moving mappings and annotations from one genome to another similar genome while maintaining the accuracy of a full mapper.

The Roth Lab seeks insight into biological systems through genome- and proteome-scale experimentation and analysis.
Current computational interests:
Systematic analysis of genetic epistasis to identify redundant or compensatory systems and to...
With the emergence of NGS technologies, and sequencing data most of the bioinformaticians mung and wrangle around massive amounts of genomics text. There are several "standardized" file formats (FASTQ, SAM, VCF, etc.) and some tools for manipulating...
