AGenDA is a web tool that compares the genomic sequences from evolutionarily related organisms in order to make gene predictions. It takes pairs of genomic sequences as input, aligns the sequences, and makes predictions based on splice signals, start and stop codons, and areas of conserved sequence.
ArrayPipe allows users to customize a processing pipeline for the analysis of microarray data. Includes methods for quality assessment of slides, data visualization, normalization, and detection of differentially expressed genes. Output consists of reports formatted as standard web pages and tab-delimited lists of calculated values.
ArrayXPath is a web-based service for matching microarray gene-expression profiles with known biological pathways. Input is a clustered gene-expression profile in a tab-delimited text format. Output includes pathway diagrams.
Gene modeling server which focuses on the modeling of alternative splicing. It is based on the alignment of mRNA, EST and protein sequences and combines genome-based clustering and transcript assembly. Supports human, mouse and rat genomes.
AUGUSTUS is a eukaryotic gene prediction tool. It can integrate evidence, e.g. from RNA-Seq, ESTs, proteomics, but can also predict genes ab initio. The PPX extension to AUGUSTUS can take a protein sequence multiple sequence alignment as input to find new members of the family in a genome. It can be run through a web interface, or downloaded and run locally.
Batch Extraction and Analysis of cis-Regulatory Regions (BEARR) takes a list of gene identifiers (such as RefSeq and Unigene IDs), consensus patterns, and (optionally) a position weight matrix as input and returns a list of matches for the patterns in both the sense and anti-sense strands of the relevant genomic sequence. The user specifies what distance up and downstream from both the transcription start site and the 3\' terminus to look for the patterns.
BioInfo3D is a collection of tools for the structural analysis of proteins, including tools for structural alignments and prediction of protein interactions.
The Bioinformatics Links Directory features curated links to molecular resources, tools and databases. All of the resources are free or available for a nominal fee.
Server which scans upstream of genes in the same gene expression cluster for regulatory sequence motifs using a Gibbs sampling strategy. The Markov background model is used for non-motif bases, improving specificity of predicted motif locations.
Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.
The beta-barrel Outer Membrane protein Predictor (BOMP) takes one or more fasta-formatted polypeptide sequences from Gram-negative bacteria as input and predicts whether or not they are beta-barrel integral outer membrane proteins.
BSDD (Biomolecules Segment Display Device) searches for and displays user defined sequence motifs in known protein structures. This web based tool incorporates the graphics package of RASMOL for visualization.
Server which predicts conserved secondary structure elements of homologous RNAs. The input of a set of RNA sequences are not required to be previously aligned.
Server which analyzes microarray and promoter sequence data associated with a response to a specific stimulus. After analysis a potential transcriptional regulatory network is created. CARRIE also determines which transcription factors were likely involved in regulation and which genes they regulated.
CaspR is a web tool for building structural models for protein sequences using molecular replacement and homology modelling. The software implements an automated approach that uses T-COFFEE to produce alignments, MODELLER to produce homology models, and finally uses AMoRe and CNS to produce the structural model.
