BarraCUDA Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
BarraCUDA (RRID:SCR_006881) | BarraCUDA | software resource | A sequence mapping software that utilizes the massive parallelism of graphics processing units to accelerate the inexact alignment of short sequence reads to a particular location on a reference genome. It can align a paired-end library containing 14 million pairs of 76bp reads to the Human genome in about 27 minutes (from fastq files to SAM alignment) using a ��380 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680*. The alignment throughput can be boosted further by using multiple GPUs (up to 8) at the same time. Being based on BWA (http://bio-bwa.sf.net) from the Sanger Institute, BarraCUDA delivers a high level of alignment fidelity and is comparable to other mainstream alignment programs. It can perform gapped alignment with gap extensions, in order to minimise the number of false variant calls in re-sequencing studies. | gpu/cuda, bio.tools |

Pythia Resource Report Resource Website 50+ mentions |
Pythia (RRID:SCR_004952) | software resource | Pythia is an open source thermodynamically oriented primer design python module. Pythia can be used in two ways. 1. Executable binaries only: under windows with cygwin and python 2.5 (built with mingw, that comes with the cygwin release). These executables allow the user to index DNA files for primer specificity search, design one primer pair per region, and tile regions with PCR amplicons. 2. A python module: under windows with cygwin, python2.5, numpy, swig, and mingw, or under linux with python2.4 or later, numpy, and swig (everything but numpy should be pre-installed on a normal linux system). The module gets you everything that the binaries get you, in a more pythonic framework. This package also includes modules for computing DNA binding and folding energies using the partition function approach with publicly available thermodynamic data. Usage documentation is in the downloads. | has parent organization: SourceForge | PMID:19528077 | nlx_91969 | SCR_004952 | 2026-09-03 04:47:29 | 50 | ||||||||||

Bambus Resource Report Resource Website |
Bambus (RRID:SCR_005068) | Bambus | software resource | Software for scaffolding to address some of the challenges encountered when analyzing metagenomes. Scaffolding represents the task of ordering and orienting contigs by incorporating additional information about their relative placement along the genome. While most other scaffolders are closely tied to a specific assembly program, Bambus accepts the output from most current assemblers and provides the user with great flexibility in choosing the scaffolding parameters. In particular, Bambus is able to accept contig linking data other than specified by mate-pairs. Such sources of information include alignment to a reference genome (Bambus can directly use the output of MUMmer), physical mapping data, or information about gene synteny. | scaffolding |

QuRe Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
QuRe (RRID:SCR_005209) | QuRe | software resource | A software program for viral quasispecies reconstruction, specifically developed to analyze long read (>100 bp) next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The software performs alignments of sequence fragments against a reference genome, finds an optimal division of the genome into sliding windows based on coverage and diversity and attempts to reconstruct all the individual sequences of the viral quasispecies--along with their prevalence--using a heuristic algorithm, which matches multinomial distributions of distinct viral variants overlapping across the genome division. QuRe comes with a built-in Poisson error correction method and a post-reconstruction probabilistic clustering, both parameterized on given error rates in homopolymeric and non-homopolymeric regions. | next-generation sequencing, virus, long read, reconstruction |

SeqAnt (RRID:SCR_005186) | SeqAnt | analysis service resource, data analysis service, production service resource, service resource, software resource | A free web service and open source software package that performs rapid, automated annotation of DNA sequence variants (single base mutations, insertions, deletions) discovered with any sequencing platform. Variant sites are characterized with respect to their functional type (Silent, Replacement, 5' UTR, 3' UTR, Intronic, Intergenic), whether they have been previously submitted to dbSNP, and their evolutionary conservation. Annotated variants can be viewed directly on the web browser, downloaded in a tab delimited text file, or directly uploaded in a Browser Extended Data (BED) format to the UCSC genome browser. SeqAnt further identifies all loci harboring two or more coding sequence variants that help investigators identify potential compound heterozygous loci within exome sequencing experiments. In total, SeqAnt resolves a significant bottleneck by allowing an investigator to rapidly prioritize the functional analysis of those variants of interest. | annotation, dna sequence variant, single base mutation, insertion, deletion, sequencing, mutation, variant, sequence variant, perl, sequence, genome |
