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).

IgBLAST: a popular NCBI package for classifying and analyzing immunoglobulin (IG) and T cell receptor (TCR) variable domain sequences

BioJoker — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 11:34:37 -0600

NCBI team released a new version of IgBLAST with four new improvements. IgBLAST is a popular NCBI package for classifying and analyzing immunoglobulin (IG) and T cell receptor (TCR) variable domain sequences. Improvements are:

1. Support for the new FWR4 annotation feature in the AIRR format, both in standard format and in the AIRR alignment format.

2. The previous “-penalty” parameter was renamed as -V_penalty to be consistent with other IgBLAST penalty options.

3. Restored constant internal BLAST search parameters for domain annotation (i.e., FWR/CDR) such that this process is not influenced by user parameters.

4. Corrected FWR/CDR annotations for certain mouse VK and rat VH germline genes.

IgBLAST 1.15.0 is available for download from the BLAST FTP area. See the the new manual on GitHub for information about setting up and running IgBLAST.
