http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/tools/dindel

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 7,2024. Software program for calling small indels from short-read sequence data ("next generation sequence data"). It is currently designed to handle only Illumina data. Dindel takes BAM files with mapped Illumina read data and enables researchers to detect small indels and produce a VCF file of all the variant calls. It has been written in C++ and can be used on Linux-based and Mac computers (it has not been tested on Windows operating systems).

http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/

An information resource for peptidases (also termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them. The MEROPS database uses an hierarchical, structure-based classification of the peptidases. In this, each peptidase is assigned to a Family on the basis of statistically significant similarities in amino acid sequence, and families that are thought to be homologous are grouped together in a Clan. There is a Summary page for each family and clan, and these have indexes. Each of the Summary pages offers links to supplementary pages. About 3000 individual peptidases and inhibitors are included in the database, and there is a Summary page describing each one. You can navigate to this by any of several routes. There are indexes of Name, MEROPS Identifier and source Organism on the menu bar. Each Summary page describes the classification and nomenclature of the peptidase or inhibitor, and provides links to supplementary pages showing sequence identifiers, the structure if known, literature references and more.

https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Fastaq

Software application for diverse collection of scripts that perform useful and common FASTA/FASTQ manipulation tasks, such as filtering, merging, splitting, sorting, trimming, search/replace, etc. Input and output files can be gzipped (format is automatically detected) and individual Fastaq commands can be piped together.

http://bamview.sourceforge.net/

A free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files that can be launched with Java Web Start or downloaded. This interactive Java application for visualizing the large amounts of data stored for sequence reads which are aligned against a reference genome sequence can be used in a number of contexts including SNP calling and structural annotation. It has been integrated into Artemis so that the reads can be viewed in the context of the nucleotide sequence and genomic features. The source code is available as part of the Artemis code which can be downloaded from GitHub.

http://htslib.org/

Original SAMTOOLS package has been split into three separate repositories including Samtools, BCFtools and HTSlib. Samtools for manipulating next generation sequencing data used for reading, writing, editing, indexing,viewing nucleotide alignments in SAM,BAM,CRAM format. BCFtools used for reading, writing BCF2,VCF, gVCF files and calling, filtering, summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants. HTSlib used for reading, writing high throughput sequencing data.

http://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cancergenome/projects/cosmic/

Database to store and display somatic mutation information and related details and contains information relating to human cancers. The mutation data and associated information is extracted from the primary literature. In order to provide a consistent view of the data a histology and tissue ontology has been created and all mutations are mapped to a single version of each gene. The data can be queried by tissue, histology or gene and displayed as a graph, as a table or exported in various formats.
Some key features of COSMIC are:
* Contains information on publications, samples and mutations. Includes samples which have been found to be negative for mutations during screening therefore enabling frequency data to be calculated for mutations in different genes in different cancer types.
* Samples entered include benign neoplasms and other benign proliferations, in situ and invasive tumours, recurrences, metastases and cancer cell lines.

http://pfam.xfam.org/

A database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs). Users can analyze protein sequences for Pfam matches, view Pfam family annotation and alignments, see groups of related families, look at the domain organization of a protein sequence, find the domains on a PDB structure, and query Pfam by keywords. There are two components to Pfam: Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A entries are high quality, manually curated families that may automatically generate a supplement using the ADDA database. These automatically generated entries are called Pfam-B. Although of lower quality, Pfam-B families can be useful for identifying functionally conserved regions when no Pfam-A entries are found. Pfam also generates higher-level groupings of related families, known as clans (collections of Pfam-A entries which are related by similarity of sequence, structure or profile-HMM).
