RestrictionDigest: A powerful Perl module for simulating genomic restriction digests

Neel — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:17:13 -0500

RestrictionDigest can simulate the reference genome digestion and generate comprehensive information of the simulation. It can simulate single-enzyme digestion, double-enzyme digestion and size selection process. It can also analyze multiple genomes at one run and generates concise comparison of enzyme(s) performance across the genomes. For more information, please see the academic paper published online (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S071734581630001X).

FGENESH - Program for predicting multiple genes in genomic DNA sequences

BioStar — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 11:55:08 -0600

FGENESH is the fastest (50-100 times faster than GenScan) and most accurate gene finder available - see the figure and the table below. In recent rice genome sequencing projects, it was cited "the most successful (gene finding) program (Yu et al. (2002) Science 296:79) and was used to produce 87% of all high-evidence predicted genes (Goff et al. (2002) Science 296:79).

AccessSyRI: finding genomic rearrangements andlocal sequence differences from whole-genome assemblies

SyRI, a pairwise whole-genome comparison tool for chromosome-level assemblies. SyRI starts by finding rearranged regions and then searches for differences in the sequences, which are distinguished for residing in syntenic or rearranged regions. This distinction is important as rearranged regions are inherited differently compared to syntenic regions.

sourmash: Quickly search, compare, and analyze genomic and metagenomic data sets.

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:24:06 -0500

sourmash is a k-mer analysis multitool, and we aim to provide stable, robust programmatic and command-line APIs for a variety of sequence comparisons. Some of our special sauce includes:

FracMinHash sketching, which enables accurate comparisons (including ANI) between data sets of different sizes
sourmash gather, a combinatorial k-mer approach for more accurate metagenomic profiling

Please see the sourmash publications for details.

The name is a riff off of Mash, combined with @ctb's love of whiskey. (Sour mash is used in making whiskey.)

Maintainers: C. Titus Brown (@ctb), Luiz C. Irber, Jr (@luizirber), and N. Tessa Pierce-Ward (@bluegenes).

sourmash was initially developed by the Lab for Data-Intensive Biology at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, and now includes contributions from the global research and developer community.

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library to interactive display biological data on the web

Jit — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:03:51 -0600

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library which provides an easy way to interactive display biological data on the web. It implements a raster-based SVG visualization using the open source Javascript framework jquery.js. BioCircos.js is multiplatform and works in all major internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera). Its speed is determined by the client’s hardware and internet browser. For smoothest user experience, we recommend Google Chrome.

BioCircos.js provides SNP, CNV, HEATMAP, LINK, LINE, SCATTER, ARC, TEXT, and HISTGRAMmodules to display genome-wide genetic variations (SNPs, CNVs and chromosome rearrangement), gene expression and biomolecule interactions. BioCircos.js also provides BACKGROUND module to display background and axis circles. Tooltips showing detailed information of SVG elements are also provided.

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).

EFS: an ensemble feature selection tool implemented as R-package and web-application

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 05:12:23 -0600

The software EFS (Ensemble Feature Selection) makes use of multiple feature selection methods and combines their normalized outputs to a quantitative ensemble importance. Currently, eight different feature selection methods have been integrated in EFS, which can be used separately or combined in an ensemble.

Building Web UIs With Mojolicious Perl

Jit — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 18:06:57 -0600

Mojolicious is one of 3 leading web frameworks available in the perl ecosystem (along with Dancer and Catalyst) and by far my favorite.

Mojolicious aims to provide a complete web development experience. It thus has no hard dependencies, comes with a built-in development and production server and many other features one needs to build a web application. It's easy to install, has an applciation generator script and many plugins and extensions.

Libraries for developing Web applications

Amon2
Catalyst - Overflowing with features. Very popular.
Dancer (Official site)
Dancer2
Gantry - Web application framework for mod_perl, cgi, etc.
Kossy - A Web framework with simple interface.
Mojolicious - An all in one framework.
Poet - a modern Perl web framework for Mason developers
