BioPerl is a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. This toolkit of perl modules is useful in building bioinformatics solutions in Perl. It is built in an object-oriented manner so that many modules depend on each other to achieve a task. The collection of modules in the bioperl-live repository consist of the core of the functionality of bioperl. Additionally auxiliary modules for creating graphical interfaces (bioperl-gui), persistent storage in RDMBS (bioperl-db), running and parsing the results from hundreds of bioinformatics applications (Run package), software to automate bioinformatic analyses (bioperl-pipeline) are all available as Git modules in our repository. The BioPerl toolkit provides a library of hundreds of routines for processing sequence, annotation, alignment, and sequence analysis reports. It often serves as a bridge between different computational biology applications assisting the user to construct analysis pipelines. This chapter illustrates how BioPerl facilitates tasks such as writing scripts summarizing information from BLAST reports or extracting key annotation details from a GenBank sequence record. BioPerl includes modules written by Sohel Merchant of the GO Consortium for parsing and manipulating OBO ontologies. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/rnahybrid/

Software tool for finding the minimum free energy hybridization of a long and a short RNA. The hybridization is performed in a kind of domain mode, i.e., the short sequence is hybridized to the best fitting part of the long one. The tool is primarily meant as a means for microRNA target prediction.

http://penglab.janelia.org/proj/v3d/V3D/About_V3D.html

V3D is a handy, fast, and versatile 3D/4D/5D Image Visualization & Analysis System for Bioimages & Surface Objects. It also provides many unique functions, is Open Source, supports a very simple and powerful plugin interface and thus can be extended & enhanced easily. V3D-Neuron is a powerful 3D neuron reconstruction, visualization, and editing software built on top of V3D. Both V3D and V3D-Neuron have recently been published in Nature Biotechnology (April, 2010), and Highlighted in Nature Methods (May, 2010), and Science News (April, 2010), etc. V3D is a cross-platform (Mac, Linux, and Windows) tool for visualizing large-scale (gigabytes, and 64-bit data) 3D image stacks and various surface data. It is also a container of powerful modules for 3D image analysis (cell segmentation, neuron tracing, brain registration, annotation, quantitative measurement and statistics, etc) and data management. This makes V3D suitable for various bioimage informatics applications, and a nice platform to develop new 3D image analysis algorithms for high-throughput processing. In short, V3D streamlines the workflow of visualization-assisted analysis. In the latest V3D development, it can render 5D (spatial-temporal) data directly in 3D volume-rendering mode; it supports convenient and interactive local and global 3D views at different scales. It even has a Matlab file IO toolbox. A user can now write his/her own plugins to take advantage of the V3D platform very easily.
