UPhO: Scripts for homology and orthology assessment from genomic sequences.

BioStar — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 10:36:42 -0600

UPhO finds orthologs with and without inparalogs from input gene family trees. Refer to the Documentation.pdf for more detailed explanations on its usage, installation and dependencies. Type UPhO.py -h for help.

The only input requierement for UPhO is a tree (or trees) in Newick format in which the leaves are named with a species idenfifier, a field separator, and sequence identifier. By default, the field separator is the character "|" but custom delimiters can be defined. Examples of trees to test UPhO are provided in the TestData folder.

Kalign: fast multiple sequence alignment program for biological sequences.

BioStar — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 00:20:41 -0500

Kalign is a fast multiple sequence alignment program for biological sequences.

Align sequences and output the alignment in MSF format:

kalign -i BB11001.tfa -f msf  -o out.msf

Align sequences and output the alignment in clustal format:

kalign -i BB11001.tfa -f clu -o out.clu

Re-align sequences in an existing alignment:

kalign -i BB11001.msf  -o out.afa

Reformat existing alignment:

kalign -i BB11001.msf -r afa -o out.afa

kebabs: package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:14:11 -0600

The kebabs package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods. Biological sequences include DNA, RNA, and amino acid (AA) sequences. Sequence kernels define similarity measures between sequences. The package implements some of the most important kernels for sequence analysis in a very flexible and efficient way and extends the standard position-independent functionality of these kernels in a novel way to take the position of patterns in the sequences into account for the similarity measure.

doubletrouble: identify duplicated genes from whole-genome protein sequences and classify

LEGE — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:23:49 -0600

doubletrouble aims to identify duplicated genes from whole-genome protein sequences and classify them based on their modes of duplication. The duplication modes are i. segmental duplication (SD); ii. tandem duplication (TD); iii. proximal duplication (PD); iv. transposed duplication (TRD) and; v. dispersed duplication (DD). Transposon-derived duplicates (TRD) can be further subdivided into rTRD (retrotransposon-derived duplication) and dTRD (DNA transposon-derived duplication). If users want a simpler classification scheme, duplicates can also be classified into SD- and SSD-derived (small-scale duplication) gene pairs. Besides classifying gene pairs, users can also classify genes, so that each gene is assigned a unique mode of duplication. Users can also calculate substitution rates per substitution site (i.e., Ka and Ks) from duplicate pairs, find peaks in Ks distributions with Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs), and classify gene pairs into age groups based on Ks peaks.

MACSE: Multiple Alignment of Coding SEquences Accounting for Frameshifts and Stop Codons

Jit — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 04:21:50 -0600

MACSE aligns coding NT sequences with respect to their AA translation while allowing NT sequences to contain multiple frameshifts and/or stop codons. MACSE is hence the first automatic solution to align protein-coding gene datasets containing non-functional sequences (pseudogenes) without disrupting the underlying codon structure. It has also proved useful in detecting undocumented frameshifts in public database sequences and in aligning next-generation sequencing reads/contigs against a reference coding sequence.

For further details about the underlying algorithm see the original publication:
