darkhorse.ucsd.edu - DarkHorse is a bioinformatic method for rapid, automated identification and ranking of phylogenetically atypical proteins on a genome-wide basis. It works by selecting potential ortholog matches from a reference database of amino acid...
www.sanger.ac.uk - Alien_hunter is an application for the prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events with the implementation of Interpolated Variable Order Motifs (IVOMs).
An IVOM approach exploits compositional biases using variable order motif...
github.com - ShadowCaster implements an evolutionary model to calculate Bayesian likelihoods for each ‘alien genes’ with an unusual sequence composition according to the host genome background to detect HGT events in...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the “non-sexual movement of genetic material between two organisms” , is relatively common in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes, but a number of factors combine to make it far rarer in...
github.com - A computational pipeline for genome-wide detection of putative horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events based on sequence homology search hit distribution statistics
Authors: Qiyun Zhu (qiyunzhu@gmail.com), Katharina Dittmar...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - HGT-Finder:
(i) can be used for HGT detection in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes,
(ii) can report a statistical P value for each gene to indicate how likely it is to be horizontally transferred, and
(iii) is fully automated (requires...
journals.plos.org - Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the transfer of genetic material between organisms, is crucial for genetic innovation and the evolution of genome architecture. Existing HGT detection algorithms rely on a strong phylogenetic signal distinguishing the...
bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com - SWGIS v2.0 along with the EuGI database, which houses GIs identified in 66 different eukaryotic species, and the EuGI web-resource, provide the first comprehensive resource for studying HGT in...
github.com - GeneValidator helps in identifing problems with gene predictions and provide useful information extracted from analysing orthologs in BLAST databases. The results produced can be used by biocurators and researchers who need accurate gene...
genomethreader.org - GenomeThreader is a software tool to compute gene structure predictions. The gene structure predictions are calculated using a similarity-based approach where additional cDNA/EST and/or protein sequences are used to predict gene structures via...
