GROMACS: a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics

Neel — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 22:40:38 -0500

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. GROMACS is able to work with many biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. The WeNMR GROMACS web portal combines the versatility of this molecular dynamics package with the calculation power of the eNMR grid. This will enable you to perform many simulations from the comfort of your internet browser anywhere in the world. The server is furthermore aimed to provide a user friendly and efficient MD experience by performing many preparation and optimization steps automatically.

Bienko and Crosetto Labs

Fri, 12 May 2017 07:42:15 -0500

We are two groups of scientists doing frontier research in quantitative biology and biomedicine. The Bienko group is interested in exploring the fundamental design principles controlling how DNA is packed in the eukaryotic nucleus and its relation to gene expression regulation. The Crosetto group engineers new molecular methods for single-cell and spatially resolved omic measurements of DNA, RNA, and proteins, with a strong focus on tumor heterogeneity. By sharing ideas and resources, we work synergistically towards a more quantitative understanding of life’s processes in healthy and diseased conditions.

ZENBU: a collaborative, omics data integration and interactive visualization system

BioJoker — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:35:26 -0600

ZENBU is a data integration, data analysis, and visualization system enhanced for RNAseq, ChipSeq, CAGE and other types of next-generation-sequence-tag (NGS) based data. ZENBU allows for novel data exploration through "on-demand" data processing and interactive linked-visualizations and is able to make many-views from the same primary sequence alignment data which users can uploaded from BAM, BED, GFF and tab-text files.
Please check our documentation wiki for details on how to use the system, or check out some of the views above.

LRCstats: Long Read Correction Statistics

Jit — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 04:04:20 -0600

LRCstats is an open-source pipeline for benchmarking DNA long read correction algorithms for long reads outputted by third generation sequencing technology such as machines produced by Pacific Biosciences. The reads produced by third generation sequencing technology, as the name suggests, are longer in length than reads produced by next generation sequencing technologies, such as those produced by Illumina. However, long reads are plagued by high error rates, which can cause issues in downstream analysis. Long read correction algorithms reduce the error rate of long reads either through self-correcting methods or using accurate, short reads outputted by next generation sequencing technologies to correct long reads.

Of course, some long read correction algorithms are better than others, and developers of long read correction algorithms will wish to compare their algorithm with others currently available. LRCstats benchmarks long read correction algorithms using long reads produced by simulators (such as SimLoRD or PBSim) where the two-way alignments between the uncorrected long reads (uLR) and the corresponding sequences in the reference genome (Ref) are given in some sort of alignment file and then aligning the corrected long reads (cLR) to the Ref-uLR two-way alignments to create three-way alignments using a dynamic programming algorithm. Statistics on these three-way alignments are then collected, such as the overall error rates of the corrected long reads.
