http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/vagrent/

Software tool set for calculating the biological consequences of genomic variations. The suite of perl modules compares genomic variations with reference genome annotations and generates the possible effects each variant may have on the transcripts it overlaps. It evaluates each variation/transcript combination and describes the effects in the mRNA, CDS and protein sequence contexts. It provides details of the sequence and position of the change within the transcript / protein as well as Sequence Ontology terms to classify its consequences.

http://blocks.fhcrc.org/blocks/codehop.html

This COnsensus-DEgenerate Hybrid Oligonucleotide Primer (CODEHOP) strategy has been implemented as a computer program that is accessible over the World-Wide Web and is directly linked from the BlockMaker multiple sequence alignment site for hybrid primer prediction beginning with a set of related protein sequences. This is a new primer design strategy for PCR amplification of unknown targets that are related to multiply-aligned protein sequences. Each primer consists of a short 3' degenerate core region and a longer 5' consensus clamp region. Only 3-4 highly conserved amino acid residues are necessary for design of the core, which is stabilized by the clamp during annealing to template molecules. During later rounds of amplification, the non-degenerate clamp permits stable annealing to product molecules. The researchers demonstrate the practical utility of this hybrid primer method by detection of diverse reverse transcriptase-like genes in a human genome, and by detection of C5 DNA methyltransferase homologs in various plant DNAs. In each case, amplified products were sufficiently pure to be cloned without gel fractionation. Sponsors: This work was supported in part by a grant from the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust and by a grant from NIH. S. P. is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
