oGNM:Conformational dynamics based on contact topology in a coarse-grained presentation

Abhi — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 03:52:51 -0600

Gaussian Network Model (GNM) is a powerful tool to sample conformational dynamics based on contact topology in a coarse-grained presentation. Here we present a method to consider protein dynamics in the presence of ‘environment’ (1). The ‘environment’ here can be crystal contacts defined in structures solved by x-ray crystallography, a protein in homo-/hetero-dimers, a part of a protein complex, the DNA in complexed with transcription factors, or even a large ligand (or ligands) in a protein. The protein dynamics, in the presence of these ‘environments’, can be assessed in a more rigorous physics ground (the size and number of the orthogonal normal modes are the same as those in unperturbed systems (in the absence of the environment)) with our theories (2) that guarantee our implementations to be more efficient (saving 3/4 time, assuming equal size of system and environment), more memory friendly (saving >1/2 time) and more accurate (enhanced correlation between predictions and B-factors). The environment consideration in ANM theory was published (1) and reviewed (2); its GNM counterpart is first derived in this work and proven to be more accurate in the B-factor predictions than conventional GNM.

AutoDock Vina: an open-source program for doing molecular docking.

BioStar — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 07:55:56 -0500

AutoDock Vina is an open-source program for doing molecular docking. It was designed and implemented by Dr. Oleg Trott in the Molecular Graphics Lab at The Scripps Research Institute. It is especially effective for protein-ligand docking. AutoDock 4 is available under the GNU General Public License. AutoDock is one of the most cited docking software applications in the research community.

Painless package development for R

Abhi — Tue, 03 May 2016 05:31:06 -0500

Devtools makes package development a breeze: it works with R’s existing conventions for code structure, adding efficient tools to support the cycle of package development. With devtools, developing a package becomes so easy that it will be your default layout whenever you’re writing a significant amount of code.

SOAP2 : Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package 2

Poonam Mahapatra — Wed, 23 May 2018 10:09:22 -0500

SOAPaligner/soap2 is a member of the SOAP (Short Oligonucleotide Analysis Package). It is an updated version of SOAP software for short oligonucleotide alignment. The new program features in super fast and accurate alignment for huge amounts of short reads generated by Illumina/Solexa Genome Analyzer. Compared to soap v1, it is one order of magnitude faster. It require only 2 minutes aligning one million single-end reads onto the human reference genome. Another remarkable improvement of SOAPaligner is that it now supports a wide range of the read length. SOAPaligner benefitted in time and space efficiency by a revolution in the basic data structures and algorithms used.The core algorithms and the indexing data structures (2way-BWT) are developed by the algorithms research group of the Department of Computer Science, the University of Hong Kong (T.W. Lam, Alan Tam, Simon Wong, Edward Wu and S.M. Yiu).

Genobuntu: Package for Next Generation Sequencing and Genome Assembly

BioStar — Mon, 18 May 2020 16:47:56 -0500

Genobuntu is a software package containing more than 70 software and packages oriented towards NGS. In its current version, Genobuntu supports pre assembly tools, genome assemblers as well as post assembly tools.

Commonly used biological software and example script files for different assembly pipelines have also been provided, where the example script files can be updated to suit one’s experimental needs. Genobuntu attempts to reduce the amount of time and energy needed to build software workstations and it can also act as a good teaching source for a class room setting.

Therefore, Genobuntu offers a well-tailored environment for both novices and experts working in the field of genome assembly.

PANEV: an R package for a pathway-based network visualization

Jit — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 12:41:52 -0600

PANEV (PAthway NEtwork Visualizer) is an R package set for gene/pathway-based network visualization. Based on information available on KEGG, it visualizes genes within a network of multiple levels (from 1 to n) of interconnected upstream and downstream pathways. The network graph visualization helps to interpret functional profiles of a cluster of genes.
