http://bpg.utoledo.edu/~afedorov/lab/eid.html

Data sets of protein-coding intron-containing genes that contain gene information from humans, mice, rats, and other eukaryotes, as well as genes from species whose genomes have not been completely sequenced. This is a comprehensive and convenient dataset of sequences for computational biologists who study exon-intron gene structures and pre-mRNA splicing. The database is derived from GenBank release 112, and it contains protein-coding genes that harbor introns, along with extensive descriptions of each gene and its DNA and protein sequences, as well as splice motif information. They have created subdatabases of genes whose intron positions have been experimentally determined. The collection also contains data on untranslated regions of gene sequences and intron-less genes. For species with entirely sequenced genomes, species-specific databases have been generated. A novel Mammalian Orthologous Intron Database (MOID) has been introduced which includes the full set of introns that come from orthologous genes that have the same positions relative to the reading frames.

http://ugene.unipro.ru/

A multiplatform open-source software to assist molecular biologists without much expertise in bioinformatics to manage, analyze and visualize their data. UGENE integrates widely used bioinformatics tools within a common user interface. The toolkit supports multiple biological data formats and allows the retrieval of data from remote data sources. It provides visualization modules for biological objects such as annotated genome sequences, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assembly data, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic trees and 3D structures. Most of the integrated algorithms are tuned for maximum performance by the usage of multithreading and special processor instructions. UGENE includes a visual environment for creating reusable workflows that can be launched on local resources or in a High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. UGENE is written in C++ using the Qt framework. The built-in plugin system and structured UGENE API make it possible to extend the toolkit with new functionality.

http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/alea

A computational software toolbox for allele-specific (AS) epigenomics analysis. It incorporates allelic variation data within existing resources, allowing for the identification of significant associations between epigenetic modifications and specific allelic variants in human and mouse cells. It provides a customizable pipeline of command line tools for AS analysis of next-generation sequencing data (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, etc.) that takes the raw sequencing data and produces separate allelic tracks ready to be viewed on genome browsers. ALEA takes advantage of the available genomic resources for human (The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium) and mouse (The Mouse Genome Project) to reconstruct diploid in-silico genomes for human or hybrid mice under study. Then, for each accompanying ChIP-seq or RNA-seq dataset, it generates two Wiggle track format (WIG) files from short reads aligned differentially to each haplotype.

https://ccg.murdoch.edu.au/yabi/login/?next=/yabi/

A web-based analytical environment framework for bioinformatics applications that can be customized for a diverse range of -omics applications. The software system is adaptable to a range of both pluggable execution and data backends in an open source implementation. Enabling seamless and transparent access to heterogenous HPC environments at its core, it then provides an analysis workflow environment that can create and reuse workflows as well as manage large amounts of both raw and processed data in a secure and flexible way across geographically distributed compute resources. Yabi can be used via a web-based environment to drag-and-drop tools to create sophisticated workflows. It can also be accessed through the Yabi command line which is designed for users that are more comfortable with writing scripts or for enabling external workflow environments to leverage the features in Yabi. Configuring tools can be a significant overhead in workflow environments. Yabi greatly simplifies this task by enabling system administrators to configure as well as manage running tools via a web-based environment and without the need to write or edit software programs or scripts.
