http://cbil.upenn.edu/BEERS/

A simulation engine for generating RNA-Seq data that was designed to benchmark RNA-Seq alignment algorithms and also algorithms that aim to reconstruct different isoforms and alternate splicing from RNA-Seq data. By default BEERS simulates either mouse or human paired-end RNA-Seq data modeled on the illumina platform. It starts with a large number of gene models (approx 500K) taken from about ten different published annotation efforts, and then chooses a fixed number of these genes at random (30,000 by default). This avoids biasing for or against any particular set of annotations. BEERS then introduces substitutions, indels, alternate spice forms, sequencing errors, and intron signal. BEERS can also simulate strand specific reads. BEERS does not simulate quality scores. There are four configuration files required, these are available for human and mouse. BEERS can also be configured to use any set of gene models. Pre-built indexes for human refseq are given. Using these indexes will generate a much tamer set of transcripts. BEERS is written in perl.

http://flux.sammeth.net/capacitor.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 5, 2023. Software that aims at modeling RNA-Seq experiments in silico: sequencing reads are produced from a reference genome according annotated transcripts. The simulation pipeline models different steps as modules, each with a minimal set of parameters that can be estimated by experimental parameters. The first step is-in fact-a transcriptome simulator. Subsequently, common sources of systematic bias in the abundance and distribution of produced reads are simulated by in silico library preparation and sequencing.

http://smd.princeton.edu/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on December 17, 2021. Database to store, annotate, view, analyze and share microarray data. It provides registered users access to their own data, provides users access to public data, and tools with which to analyze those data, to any public user anywhere in the world. The GenePattern software package has been incorporated directly into SMD, providing access to many new analysis tools, as well as a plug-in architecture that allows users to directly integrate and share additional tools through SMD. This extension is available with the SMD source code that is fully and freely available to others under an Open Source license, enabling other groups to create a local installation of SMD with an enriched data analysis capability. SMD search options allow the user to Search By Experiments, Search By Datasets, or Search By Gene Names. Web services are provided using common standards, such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). This enables both local and remote researchers to connect to an installation of the database and retrieve data using pre-defined methods, without needing to resort to use of a web browser.

https://code.google.com/p/popoolationte/

A quick and simple pipeline for the analysis of transposable element (TE) insertions in (natural) populations using next generation sequencing. It calculates TE insertion frequencies for TEs that are present in the reference genome as well as for novel TE insertions. PoPoolation TE requires paired-end reads from a pooled population, a reference sequence and transposable element sequences (fasta-file).

http://woldlab.caltech.edu/rnaseq

Software for Mapping and Quantifying Mammalian Transcriptomes by RNA-Seq. Its functions are to (i) assign reads that map uniquely in the genome to their site of origin and, for reads that match equally well to several sites (''multireads''), assign them to their most likely site(s) of origin; (ii) detect splice-crossing reads and assign them to their gene of origin; (iii) organize reads that cluster together, but do not map to an already known exon, into candidate exons or parts of exons; and (iv) calculate the prevalence of transcripts from each known or newly proposed RNA, based on normalized counts of unique reads, spliced reads and multireads. The new candidate RNA regions produced can be thought of as ESTs, and, like ESTs, some are provisionally appended to existing gene models if they meet several additional criteria. Remaining unassigned candidate transcribed regions (labeled RNAFAR features) can then be used in conjunction with other confirming data to develop new or revised gene models.
