piRNAs are the unsung guardians of the genome, safeguarding genetic material from transposable elements and contributing to gene regulation and epigenetic programming. Bioinformatics has opened the floodgates of discovery, unraveling the...
Linux, free operating system for computers, provides several powerful admin tools and utilities which will help you to manage your systems effectively and handle huge amount of genomic/biological data with an ease. The field of bioinformatics relies...
www.broadinstitute.org - Spines
Spines is a collection of software tools, developed and used by the Vertebrate Genome Biology Group at the Broad Institute. It provides basic data structures for efficient data manipulation (mostly genomic sequences, alignments,...
Huge amounts of genotype data are being produced with recent technological advances, both from increasingly comprehensive and inexpensive genome-wide SNP microarrays and from ever more accessible whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing methods
http://meme-suite.org/ - Motif based sequence analysis suits
The MEME Suite allows the biologist to discover novel motifs in collections of unaligned nucleotide or protein sequences, and to perform a wide variety of other motif-based analyses.
The MEME Suite...
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...
