Chinook is a peer-to-peer (P2P) service for the discovery, use and assessment of bioinformatics programs. Chinook Online allows researchers to connect and run distributed bioinformatics programs using a web application.
Crosslink is a tool for visualizing pairwise sequence similiarity relationships determined using BLAST, Vmatch, and RNAhybrid. The nucleotide sequences and their relationships are displayed as nodes and links of a network, respectively. CrossLink can be useful for investigating potential interactions between microRNAs and their targets.
This site provides several bioinformatics software tools packaged together for easy installation on MacOSX computers. The software includes NCBI tools, EMBOSS, ClustalW, Staden, T-Coffee and Primer3.
The Fold & Function Assignment System (FFAS) takes an amino-acid sequence as input and generates a profile which is compared to several sets of sequence profiles including PDB, SCOP, and PFAM. Public metagenomic sequence data has been added to FFAS, so that the profile of a user's protein can be compared to 20 additional profile databases including several complete proteomes, etc.
Family Identification with Structure Anchored HMMs (FISH) is a server for the identification of remote sequence homologues on the basis of protein domains.
The LAGAN alignment toolkit consists of components: CHAOS (a pairwise local aligner optimized for non-coding, and other poorly conserved regions of the genome.), LAGAN (a highly parametrizable pairwise global alignment program), Multi-LAGAN , and Shuffle-LAGAN (both variations of LAGAN).
MATRAS is a resource for comparing protein three dimensional (3D) structures. Users can compare protein 3D structures using pairwise alignments, multiple alignments, or by a comparing against a library of known structures.
The Meningococcus Genome Informatics Platform (MGIP) is a suite of computational tools for the analysis of multilocus sequence typing data. Input DNA sequence files are analyzed to provide allele calls, and to characterize the specific sequence type and clonal complex of the Neisseria meningitidis strain.
Max-Planck Integrated Gene Analysis System (MIGenAS) provides access to many different bioinformatics software tools and databases for sequence similarity searching, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic analysis, and protein structure prediction. Users can also configure \"meta\"-tools as a pipeline of individual tools and intermediate filters.
Max-Planck Institute Bioinformatics Toolkit provides access to many different bioinformatics software tools and databases for sequence similarity searching, multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic analysis, and protein structure prediction.
OrthoSelect web server detects orthologous gene sequences in EST libraries and outputs orthologous gene alignments. Annotations, data matrices for each gene, and the gene alignments may also be visualized.
