SCFBio have developed Sanjeevini

Jit — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 07:55:49 -0600

SCFBio have developed a new android based application for drug design called Sanjeevini (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanjeevini&hl=en). It is available free of charge. You can download it using Google play store. Just search for "Sanjeevini-SCFBIO-CADD" in Google play store. It contains all modules used by current Sanjeevini users. We have worked towards making a unified and easy to use interface. The app now supports all major small molecule file formats (pdb, mol, sdf, mol2 and xyz). The application contains inbuilt visualizer JSmol for easy analysis of results. Users can now directly download the protein files from PDB ("Get protein PDB file" in `FILE` Menu) and prepare it using the easy to use in-built module "Prepare protein/DNA".

SCFBio have worked towards making the process of Job retrieval more streamlined and user friendly. All jobs are now recorded in the "Job results". It can be accessed using the main page of the application. Job status can now be retrieved by clicking on the refresh button against the job ID.

SCFBio have also added a new feature of accessing Jobs run on different android application. Users can retrieve jobs run by other users by sharing the job ID and module name. This feature can be accessed using the Import Jobs option in File menu. We hope this feature will help collaborating groups stay in touch with each other.

The module contains all modules of Sanjeevini suite of software for structure based Drug design.

Ancestral Genomes: a resource for reconstructed ancestral genes and genomes across the tree of life

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 08:16:27 -0500

Ancestral Genomes (http://ancestralgenomes.org) is a resource for comprehensive reconstructions of these ‘fossil genomes’. Comprehensive sets of protein-coding genes have been reconstructed for 78 genomes of now-extinct species that were the common ancestors of extant species from across the tree of life.

ClueGO: a Cytoscape plug-in that visualizes the non-redundant biological terms for large clusters of genes

BioStar — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:24:29 -0500

ClueGO is a Cytoscape plug-in that visualizes the non-redundant biological terms for large clusters of genes in a functionally grouped network and it can be used in combination with GOlorize. The identifiers can be uploaded from a text file or interactively from a network of Cytoscape. The type of identifiers supported can be easely extended by the user. ClueGO performs single cluster analysis and comparison of clusters. From the ontology sources used, the terms are selected by different filter criteria. The related terms which share similar associated genes can be fused to reduce redundancy. The ClueGO network is created with kappa statistics and reflects the relationships between the terms based on the similarity of their associated genes. On the network, the node colour can be switched between functional groups and clusters distribution. ClueGO charts are underlying the specificity and the common aspects of the biological role. The significance of the terms and groups is automatically calculated. ClueGO is easy updatable with the newest files from Gene Ontology and KEGG.

DEG 5.0: a database of essential genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 11:47:29 -0500

Essential genes are those indispensable for the survival of an organism, and their functions are therefore considered a foundation of life. Determination of a minimal gene set needed to sustain a life form, a fundamental question in biology, plays a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology.

doubletrouble: identify duplicated genes from whole-genome protein sequences and classify

LEGE — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:23:49 -0600

doubletrouble aims to identify duplicated genes from whole-genome protein sequences and classify them based on their modes of duplication. The duplication modes are i. segmental duplication (SD); ii. tandem duplication (TD); iii. proximal duplication (PD); iv. transposed duplication (TRD) and; v. dispersed duplication (DD). Transposon-derived duplicates (TRD) can be further subdivided into rTRD (retrotransposon-derived duplication) and dTRD (DNA transposon-derived duplication). If users want a simpler classification scheme, duplicates can also be classified into SD- and SSD-derived (small-scale duplication) gene pairs. Besides classifying gene pairs, users can also classify genes, so that each gene is assigned a unique mode of duplication. Users can also calculate substitution rates per substitution site (i.e., Ka and Ks) from duplicate pairs, find peaks in Ks distributions with Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs), and classify gene pairs into age groups based on Ks peaks.
