Database to Database Conversions

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

Jit — Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:34:09 -0500

MutaBind is a new computational method and server created through NCBI research efforts that maps mutations on a protein structural complex, calculates changes in binding affinity, identifies deleterious mutations and produces a downloadable mutant structural model. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/mutabind/index.fcgi/

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.

poRe: an R package for the visualization and analysis of nanopore sequencing data

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 09:55:57 -0600

Motivation: The Oxford Nanopore MinION device represents a unique sequencing technology. As a mobile sequencing device powered by the USB port of a laptop, the MinION has huge potential applications. To enable these applications, the bioinformatics community will need to design and build a suite of tools specifically for MinION data.

Results: Here we present poRe, a package for R that enables users to manipulate, organize, summarize and visualize MinION nanopore sequencing data. As a package for R, poRe has been tested on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. Crucially, the Windows version allows users to analyse MinION data on the Windows laptop attached to the device.

Availability and implementation: poRe is released as a package for R at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/ . A tutorial and further information are available at https://sourceforge.net/p/rpore/wiki/Home/

PGAP-X: Extension on pan-genome analysis pipeline

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:41:43 -0600

PGAP-X is a microbial comparative genomic analysis platform with graphic interface. Serials of algorithms and methodologies have been developed and integrated to analyze and visualize genomics structure variation, gene distribution with different conservative levels, and genetic variation from pan-genome sight. At the same time, analytical result data from many other programs, including genome alignment result and orthologs clusters, are also supported to be further analyzed or visualized in PGAP-X. The workflow and feature snapshot in PGAP-X were shown as Fig.1 and Fig.2.

About

SAMtools is a popular open-source tool used in next-generation sequence analysis. This primer provides an introduction to SAMtools, and is geared towards those new to next-generation sequence analysis. The primer is also designed to be self-contained and hands-on, meaning that you only need to install SAMtools, and no other tools, and sample data sets are provided. Terms in bold are also explained in the glossary at the end of the document.
