Web Apollo: a web-based genomic annotation editing platform

Jit — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 04:48:17 -0500

Web Apollo is the first instantaneous, collaborative genomic annotation editor available on the web. One of the natural consequences following from current advances in sequencing technology is that there are more and more researchers sequencing new genomes. These researchers require tools to describe the functional features of their newly sequenced genomes. With Web Apollo researchers can use any of the common browsers (for example, Chrome or Firefox) to jointly analyze and precisely describe the features of a genome in real time, whether they are in the same room or working from opposite sides of the world.

bpRNA: large-scale automated annotation and analysis of RNA secondary structure

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 23 May 2018 03:24:33 -0500

bpRNA, a novel annotation tool capable of parsing RNA structures, including complex pseudoknot-containing RNAs, to yield an objective, precise, compact, unambiguous, easily-interpretable description of all loops, stems, and pseudoknots, along with the positions, sequence, and flanking base pairs of each such structural feature.

The bpRNA code is written in perl and requires the Graph perl module. Several additional scripts for analysis are included. The source code is available at http://github.com/hendrixlab/bpRNA.

Apollo: First instantaneous, collaborative genomic annotation editor available on the Web

Jit — Fri, 31 May 2019 19:55:39 -0500

Apollo is a plug-in for the JBrowse Genome Viewer.
In addition to genes and pseudogenes, users can annotate ncRNAs (snRNA, snoRNA, tRNA, rRNA), miRNAs, repeat regions, and transposable elements; each annotation type has its own configuration of the ‘Information Editor’.
History tracking with undo/redo functions is available.
Users are able to directly set an annotation to a specific state, choosing from the ‘History’ display.
Adding and updating PubMed IDs will prompt users with a publication title to confirm their submission.
Gene Ontology (GO) terms are supported and GO ID auto-completion has been incorporated.
Users may access a ‘Recent Changes’ page.
Help page with Apollo specific content is available.

BUSCA: an integrative web server to predict subcellular localization of proteins

BioStar — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 14:08:11 -0600

BUSCA (Bologna Unified Subcellular Component Annotator) is a web-server for predicting protein subcellular localization. BUSCA integrates different tools to predict localization-related protein features (DeepSig, TPpred3, PredGPI and ENSEMBLE3.0) as well as tools for discriminating subcellular localization of both globular and membrane proteins (BaCelLo, MemLoci and SChloro).

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.

NCBI Remap

Jit — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:02:26 -0600

NCBI Remap. This tool is conceptually similar to liftOver in that in manages conversions between a pair of genome assemblies but it uses different methods to achieve these mappings. It is also available through a simple web interface or you can use the API for NCBI Remap.

Bacterial genome assembly !!

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 06:11:22 -0500

This tutorial will serve as an example of how to use free and open-source genome assembly and secondary scaffolding tools to generate high quality assemblies of bacterial sequence data. The bacterial sample used in this tutorial will be referred to simply as “Species” since it is live data. This data is paired-end data, meaning that there are forward and reverse reads, which we will designate as Sample_R1.fastq and Sample_R2.fastq, respectively.
