MAKER

Jitendra Narayan — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:59:24 -0600

MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values.

QuIN’s web server

Jit — Mon, 27 Jun 2016 10:44:16 -0500

Recent studies of the human genome have indicated that regulatory elements (e.g. promoters and enhancers) at distal genomic locations can interact with each other via chromatin folding and affect gene expression levels. Genomic technologies for mapping interactions between DNA regions, e.g., ChIA-PET and HiC, can generate genome-wide maps of interactions between regulatory elements. These interaction datasets are important resources to infer distal gene targets of non-coding regulatory elements and to facilitate prioritization of critical loci for important cellular functions. With the increasing diversity and complexity of genomic information and public ontologies, making sense of these datasets demands integrative and easy-to-use software tools. Moreover, network representation of chromatin interaction maps enables effective data visualization, integration, and mining. Currently, there is no software that can take full advantage of network theory approaches for the analysis of chromatin interaction datasets. To fill this gap, we developed a web-based application, QuIN, which enables: 1) building and visualizing chromatin interaction networks, 2) annotating networks with user-provided private and publicly available functional genomics and interaction datasets, 3) querying network components based on gene name or chromosome location, and 4) utilizing network based measures to identify and prioritize critical regulatory targets and their direct and indirect interactions.

AVAILABILITY: QuIN’s web server is available at http://quin.jax.org QuIN is developed in Java and JavaScript, utilizing an Apache Tomcat web server and MySQL database and the source code is available under the GPLV3 license available on GitHub:https://github.com/UcarLab/QuIN/.

Fancy Oneliner for Bioinformatics !!

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:05:50 -0500

This webpage lists some of the one-liners that we frequently use in metagenomic analyses. You can click on the following links to browse through different topics. You can copy/paste the commands as they are in your terminal screen, provided you follow the same naming conventions and folder structures as we have. We are sharing these codes with the intention that if they are useful and help you in your analyses, then we will be appropriately credited as considerable effort has been put into devising them.

CGView - Circular Genome Viewer

Jit — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 07:52:26 -0500

GView is a Java package used to display and navigate bacterial genomes. GView is useful for producing high-quality genome maps for use in publications and websites, or as a visualization tool in a sequence annotation pipeline. Users can interact with the genome using a powerful pan-and-zoom interface, or GView can write static images of a genome to a file. GView can draw a genome using either circular or linear layouts. For examples of some of the images GView can produce, see the Image Gallery. GView is a re-write of CGView, a circular genome viewer written by Paul Stothard. The goal of GView is to provide greater user interaction, and more flexibility in how the genome map is rendered. To aid with easily configuring the display of a genome, a style editor has been included to provide an intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface for customizing genome maps. Styling attributes such as colours or fonts for the various map elements can be adjusted in real time. Customized styles can be saved for later use or for application to other genome maps using GView's custom file format.
