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.

11/3/2019: V 0.61, Improve graphical visualization (thanks to reviewers). Interactive networks and much more.

5/20/2019: V.0.60, Annotation database updated to Ensembl 96. New bacterial and fungal genomes based on STRING-db! Just paste your gene list to get enriched GO terms and othe pathways for over 315 plant and animal species, based on annotation from Ensembl (Release 96), Ensembl plants (R. 43) and Ensembl Metazoa (R. 43). An additional 2031 genomes (including bacteria and fungi) are annotated based on STRING-db (v.10). In addition, it also produces KEGG pathway diagrams with your genes highlighted, hierarchical clustering trees and networks summarizing overlapping terms/pathways, protein-protein interaction networks, gene characterristics plots, and enriched promoter motifs.

PyParanoid: a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes

BioStar — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:06:19 -0500

PyParanoid is a pipeline for rapid identification of homologous gene families in a set of genomes - a central task of any comparative genomics analysis. The "gold standard" for identifying homologs is to use reciprocal best hits (RBHs) which depends on performing a all-vs-all sequence comparison, usually using BLAST, to determine homology. However, these methods are computationally expensive, requiring O(n2) resources to identify RBHs. This is problematic, as the modern deluge of sequencing data means that comparative genomics analyses could be performed on datasets of thousands of strains.

Binding Site Prediction in Protein !

Poonam Mahapatra — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 04:35:57 -0500

The interaction between proteins and other molecules is fundamental to all biological functions. In this section we include tools that can assist in prediction of interaction sites on protein surface and tools for predicting the structure of the intermolecular complex formed between two or more molecules (docking).

Pockets Identification

CASTp

Automatic Identification of pockets and cavities in proteins structure, and quantitation of their volumes using Delaunay triangulation. Available also as PyMOL plugin

Pocket-Finder

Automatic identification of pockets and cavities in proteins structure, and quantitation of their volumes.

PocketPicker

Grid-based technique for the analysis of protein pockets. PocketPicker available as a plugin for PyMOL

Binding Site Prediction

ConSurf

Identification of functional regions in proteins by surface-mapping of phylogenetic information

CRESCENDO

Identification protein interaction sites. It uses sequence conservation patterns in homologous proteins to distinguish between residues that are conserved due to structural restraints from those due to functional restraints.

Ligand Binding Sites

3DLigandSite

The server utilizes protein-structure prediction to provide structural models of the binding site. Ligands bound to structures are superimposed onto the model and use to predict the binding site.

FINDSITE

A threading-based method for ligand-binding site prediction and functional annotation based on binding-site similarity across superimposed groups of threading templates.

LIGSITE^csc

Prediction of binding site by pocket identification using the Connolly surface and degree of conservation

metaPocketA meta server for ligand-binding site prediction. metaPocket use LIGSITE^csc, PASS, Q-SiteFinder and SURFNET

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.
