In many autoimmune diseases, a misdirected immune response leads to chronic inflammation and subsequently to fibrotic and degenerative tissue remodeling. Therapeutic options are available for inflammatory joint diseases, but only about 40% of patients respond to these existing therapies on a permanent basis. In the remaining cases, these therapies miss their target from the beginning or later during the course of treatment failure. There are currently no causal therapies available for the treatment of fibrotic autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic options for the treatment of fibrotic and synovitic autoimmune diseases. His group is therefore deal with the molecular mechanisms of these misdirected signaling pathways for the development of novel, targeted therapies

Ktrim: an extra-fast and accurate adapter- and quality-trimmer for sequencing data

Jit — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 21:39:05 -0600

Ktrim is written in C++ for GNU Linux/Unix platforms. After uncompressing the source package, you can find an executable file ktrim under bin/ directory compiled using g++ v4.8.5 and linked with libz v1.2.7 for Linux x86_64 system. If you could not run it (which is usually caused by low version of libc++ or libz library) or you want to build a version optimized for your system, you can re-compile the programs:

user@linux$ make clean && make

ALPHA: A Toolkit for Automated Local Phylogenomic Analyses

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:12:06 -0500

Automated Local Phylogenomic Analyses, or ALPHA, is a python-based application that provides an intuitive user interface for phylogenetic analyses and data visualization. It has four distinct modes that are useful for different types of phylogenetic analysis: RAxML, File Converter, MS Comparison, and D-statistic.

‘dockr’: the R container

Jit — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:56:49 -0600

dockr 0.8.6 is now available on CRAN. dockr is a minimal toolkit to build a lightweight Docker container image for your R package, in which the package itself is available. The Docker image seeks to mirror your R session as close as possible with respect to R specific dependencies. Both dependencies on CRAN R packages as well as local non-CRAN R packages will be included in the Docker container image.

If you want to know, how Docker works, and why you should consider using Docker, please take a look at the Docker website.

Des Higgins: Visualizing Multiple Sequence Alignments

Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:50:08 -0600

Copyright Broad Institute, 2013. All rights reserved. Des Higgins (http://www.bioinf.ucd.ie) gives a very entertaining introduction to the visualization of multiple sequence alignment, and to his widely-used Clustal tool. He highlights the emerging challenge of managing alignments with a very large number of sequences, and presents several approaches to this challenge, including faster algorithms and abstract views of clusters of alignments. This talk was presented at VIZBI 2011, an international conference series on visualizing biological data (http://www.vizbi.org) funded by NIH & EMBO.

ETE 3: Reconstruction, Analysis, and Visualization of Phylogenomic Data

Jit — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 06:46:15 -0600

ETE v3, featuring numerous improvements in the underlying library of methods, and providing a novel set of standalone tools to perform common tasks in comparative genomics and phylogenetics.

The new features include

(i) building gene-based and supermatrix-based phylogenies using a single command,

(ii) testing and visualizing evolutionary models,

(iii) calculating distances between trees of different size or including duplications, and

(iv) providing seamless integration with the NCBI taxonomy database.

RAVEN: a software suite for Matlab that allows for semi-automated reconstruction of genome-scale models

Jit — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 22:38:05 -0500

The RAVEN (Reconstruction, Analysis and Visualization of Metabolic Networks) Toolbox 2 is a software suite for Matlab that allows for semi-automated reconstruction of genome-scale models (GEMs). It makes use of published models and/or KEGG, MetaCyc databases, coupled with extensive gap-filling and quality control features. The software suite also contains methods for visualizing simulation results and omics data, as well as a range of methods for performing simulations and analyzing the results. The software is a useful tool for system-wide data analysis in a metabolic context and for streamlined reconstruction of metabolic networks based on protein homology.
