	<description><![CDATA[<p>deepTools addresses the challenge of handling the large amounts of data that are now routinely generated from DNA sequencing centers. To do so, deepTools contains useful modules to process the mapped reads data to create coverage files in standard bedGraph and bigWig file formats. By doing so, deepTools allows the creation of normalized coverage files or the comparison between two files (for example, treatment and control). Finally, using such normalized and standardized files, multiple visualizations can be created to identify enrichments with functional annotations of the genome.<br /><br />Publicaton: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/05/05/nar.gku365.full<br /><br />Source Code and Wiki: https://github.com/fidelram/deepTools/wiki<br /><br />Galaxy Tool Shed repository: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bgruening/deeptools<br /><br />and example Galaxy workflows: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bgruening/deeptools_workflows</p>]]></description>

<p>We are a computational biology lab that develops novel methods for analysis of DNA and RNA sequences. Our research includes software for aligning and assembling RNA-seq data, whole-genome assembly, and microbiome analysis. We work closely with biomedical scientists to apply these methods to current problems arising in a broad spectrum of biological and medical research areas. We’re also part of the Center for Computational Biology, a group of 20+ faculty members and their labs at Johns Hopkins working on computational, statistical, and mathematical methods that can turn massive genomic data sets into biologically and clinically useful information.</p>

<p>The goal of our research is to interpret and distill this complexity through accurate analysis and modeling of molecular pathways, particularly those in which malfunctions lead to the manifestation of disease. We are inventing integrative methods for systems-level pathway modeling through integrative analysis of genome-scale datasets. We apply these approaches in studying challenging biological problems, such as how pathways function in diverse cell types and how they change dynamically.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[DarkHorse]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><em>DarkHorse</em>&nbsp;is a bioinformatic method for rapid, automated identification and ranking of phylogenetically atypical proteins on a genome-wide basis. It works by selecting potential ortholog matches from a reference database of amino acid sequences, then using these matches to calculate a lineage probability index (LPI) score for each genome protein.</p>
<p>LPI scores are inversely proportional to the phylogenetic distance between database match sequences and the query genome. These scores are useful not only for large-scale<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;predictions of horizontally transferred proteins, but can also serve as an independent quality control test for potential horizontal transfer candidates identified by alternative methods, especially those based on nucleic acid signatures. Candidates having high LPI scores are unlikely to have been horizontally transferred, since they are highly conserved among closely related organisms.</p>
<p>One unique and powerful feature of the DarkHorse HGT Candidate database is the opportunity to explore the phylogenetic background of potential HGT donors as well as recipients. The breadth of the database allows not only query sequences, but also their database match partners to be evaluated for sequence similarity or novelty compared to taxonomically related organisms.</p>
<p><em>DarkHorse</em>&nbsp;is configurable for varying degrees of phylogenetic granularity and protein sequence conservation. Users should consult the&nbsp;<a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/#references">references</a>&nbsp;cited below for a complete explanation of parameter selection and result interpretation. A brief&nbsp;<a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/tutorial.html">tutorial</a>&nbsp;page is also available on-line.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/download.html</a></p>]]></description>
