The ACLAME database is dedicated to the collection, analysis and classification of sequenced mobile genetic elements (MGEs, in particular phages and plasmids). Classifications are available at various levels of organization. At the gene/protein level, families group similar sequences that are expected to share the same function. Families of four or more proteins are manually assigned with a functional annotation using the GeneOntology and the locally developed ontology MeGO dedicated to MGEs. At the genome level, evolutionary cohesive modules group sets of protein families shared among MGEs. At the population level, networks display the reticulate evolutionary relationships among MGEs.
MIRU-VNTRplus allows users to analyze genotyping data of their Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains either alone or in comparison with the reference DB of strains. The web server also includes tools to search for similar strains, phylogenetic analysis and mapping of geographic information.
PlotRep is a tool for the visual analysis of dispersed genomic repeats. The tool is designed to merge fragments belonging to the same copy of a repeat and allows for the inspection of the results using a dot-plot like graphical output.
