PASS

Submitted by ChenLiang on Sun, 09/10/2017 - 20:05

Standard DNA alignment programs are inadequate to manage the data produced by new generation DNA sequencers. To answer this problem, we developed PASS with the objective of improving execution time and sensitivity when compared with other available programs. PASS performs fast gapped and ungapped alignments of short DNA sequences onto a reference DNA, typically a genomic sequence. It is designed to handle a huge amount of reads such as those generated by Solexa, SOLiD or 454 technologies.

CluePedia

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The CluePedia Cytoscape plugin is a search tool for new markers potentially associated to pathways. CluePedia calculates linear and non-linear statistical dependencies from experimental data. Genes, proteins and miRNAs can be connected based on in silico and/or experimental information and integrated into a ClueGO network of terms/pathways. Interrelations within each pathway can be investigated, and new potential associations may be revealed through gene/protein/miRNA enrichments. A pathway-like visualization can be created using the Cerebral plugin layout.

GenScript

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

To facilitate the designing process for vector-based siRNA and siRNA cassette, a tool set has been developed consisting of a siRNA target finder, a siRNA construct builder and a siRNA sequence scrambler. The siRNA target finder is used to identify candidate siRNA target sites. The program automates homology filtering, minimizes non-specific cross-reaction, filters target sites based on RNA duplex internal stability and siRNA sense/anti-sense strand secondary structure.

CORNA

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

With the increasing use of post-genomics techniques to examine a wide variety of biological systems in laboratories throughout the world, scientists are often presented with lists of genes that they must make sense of. A consistently challenging problem is that of defining co-regulated genes within those gene lists. In recent years, microRNAs have emerged as a mechanism for regulating several cellular processes.

miRDeep*

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

miRDeep and its varieties are widely used to quantify known and novel micro RNA (miRNA) from small RNA sequencing (RNAseq). This article describes miRDeep*, our integrated miRNA identification tool, which is modeled off miRDeep, but the precision of detecting novel miRNAs is improved by introducing new strategies to identify precursor miRNAs. miRDeep* has a user-friendly graphic interface and accepts raw data in FastQ and Sequence Alignment Map (SAM) or the binary equivalent (BAM) format.

RNAither

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

We present RNAither, a package for the free statistical environment R which performs an analysis of high-throughput RNA interference (RNAi) knock-down experiments, generating lists of relevant genes and pathways out of raw experimental data. The library provides a quality assessment of the signal intensities, as well as a broad range of options for data normalization, different statistical tests for the identification of significant siRNAs, and a significance analysis of the biological processes involving corresponding genes.

PatMaN

Submitted by ChenLiang on Sun, 09/10/2017 - 20:06

We present a tool suited for searching for many short nucleotide sequences in large databases, allowing for a predefined number of gaps and mismatches. The commandline-driven program implements a non-deterministic automata matching algorithm on a keyword tree of the search strings. Both queries with and without ambiguity codes can be searched. Search time is short for perfect matches, and retrieval time rises exponentially with the number of edits allowed.

Chipster

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The growth of high-throughput technologies such as microarrays and next generation sequencing has been accompanied by active research in data analysis methodology, producing new analysis methods at a rapid pace. While most of the newly developed methods are freely available, their use requires substantial computational skills. In order to enable non-programming biologists to benefit from the method development in a timely manner, we have created the Chipster software.

EVpedia

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are spherical bilayered proteolipids, harboring various bioactive molecules. Due to the complexity of the vesicular nomenclatures and components, online searches for EV-related publications and vesicular components are currently challenging.

ncRNAdb

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The noncoding RNA database (ncRNAdb) was created as a source of information on RNA molecules, which do not possess protein-coding capacity. It is now widely accepted that, in addition to constitutively expressed, housekeeping or infrastructural RNAs, there is a wide variety of RNAs participating in mechanisms involved in regulation of gene expression at all levels of transmission of genetic information from DNA to proteins.
