http://estscan.sourceforge.net/

ESTScan is a program that can detect coding regions in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. ESTScan will also detect and correct sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. As a result, the program may miss a few translated amino acids at either the N or the C terminus, but will detect coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity. ESTScan takes advantages of the bias in hexanucleotide usage found in coding regions relative to non-coding regions. This bias is formalized as an inhomogeneous 3-periodic fifth-order Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Additionally, the HMM of ESTScan has been extended to allows insertions and deletions when these improve the coding region statistics.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MetaQC/

Software for quality control and diagnosis for microarray meta-analysis. Quantitative quality control measures include: (1) internal homogeneity of co-expression structure among studies (internal quality control; IQC); (2) external consistency of co-expression structure correlating with pathway database (external quality control; EQC); (3) accuracy of differentially expressed gene detection (accuracy quality control; AQCg) or pathway identification (AQCp); (4) consistency of differential expression ranking in genes (consistency quality control; CQCg) or pathways (CQCp). For each quality control index, the p-values from statistical hypothesis testing are minus log transformed and PCA biplots were applied to assist visualization and decision. Results generate systematic suggestions to exclude problematic studies in microarray meta-analysis and potentially can be extended to GWAS or other types of genomic meta-analysis. The identified problematic studies can be scrutinized to identify technical and biological causes (e.g. sample size, platform, tissue collection, preprocessing etc) of their bad quality or irreproducibility for final inclusion / exclusion decision.

http://aias.biol.uoa.gr/OMPdb/

A database of Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins from Gram-negative bacteria. The web interface of OMPdb offers the user the ability not only to view the available data, but also to submit advanced queries for text search within the database''s protein entries or run BLAST searches against the database. The most up-to-date version of the database (as well as all past versions) can be downloaded in various formats (flat text, XML format or raw FASTA sequences). For constructing OMPdb, multiple freely accessible resources were combined and a detailed literature search was performed. The classification of OMPdb''s protein entries into families is based mainly on structural and functional criteria. Information included in the database consists of sequence data, as well as annotation for structural characteristics (such as the transmembrane segments), literature references and links to other public databases, features that are unique worldwide. Along with the database, a collection of profile Hidden Markov Models that were shown to be characteristic for Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins was also compiled. This set, when used in combination with our previously developed algorithms (PRED-TMBB, MCMBB and ConBBPRED) will serve as a powerful tool in matters of discrimination and classification of novel Beta-barrel proteins and whole-genome analyses., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Software package that provides quantitative variant callers for detecting subclonal mutations in ultra-deep (>=100x coverage) sequencing experiments. The algorithm is used for a comparative setup with a control experiment of the same loci and uses a beta-binomial model and a likelihood ratio test to discriminate sequencing errors and subclonal SNVs (single nucleotide variants).

http://stormo.wustl.edu/ScerTF

Catalog of over 1,200 position weight matrices (PWMs) for 196 different yeast transcription factors (TFs). They've curated 11 literature sources, benchmarked the published position-specific scoring matrices against in-vivo TF occupancy data and TF deletion experiments, and combined the most accurate models to produce a single collection of the best performing weight matrices for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ScerTF is useful for a wide range of problems, such as linking regulatory sites with transcription factors, identifying a transcription factor based on a user-input matrix, finding the genes bound/regulated by a particular TF, and finding regulatory interactions between transcription factors. Enter a TF name to find the recommended matrix for a particular TF, or enter a nucleotide sequence to identify all TFs that could bind a particular region.

http://pathogenseq.lshtm.ac.uk/estmoi

A per-based software to estimate multiplicity of infection (MOI) in parasite genomic sequence data. It is primarily developed to address the limitations of current laboratory (PCR) based estimates of multiplicity using high throughput sequence data. It requires a BAM (alignment output of short reads to the reference genome), VCF (a file with information on variant calls) and FASTA (reference genome) files. # Short reads are aligned to a reference genome using BWA, BOWTIE, SMALT or other short read aligners to generate a BAM file. # Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are then identified using SAMTools/BCFtools and stored in the VCF format. # The reference FASTA file is expected to be indexed using ''samtools faidx'' to generate a *.fai file. estMOI generates files containing MOI estimates for each SNP combinations (file with name *.log) and a summary for all chromosomes (file with name *.txt).
