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.
ALLGEN server provides various tools for multiple sequence alignments, clustering, and assembly of ESTs. It also includes search tools for transcription factor binding sites (TFBS), repeated patterns, and transposons.
Bioconductor is an open source and open development software project that aims to provide access to a wide range of powerful statistical and graphical methods for the analysis of genomic data.
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.
BLASTO (BLAST on Orthologous groups) is a modified BLAST tool for searching orthologous group data. It treats each orthologous group as a unit and outputs a ranked list of orthologous groups instead of single sequences.
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.
Clustal X is a version of the Clustal W multiple sequence alignment program with a graphical interface. The display colours allow conserved features to be highlighted for easy viewing in the alignment. It is available for several platforms, including Windows, Macintosh PowerMac, Linux and Solaris.
CONREAL (Conserved Regulatory Elements Anchored Alignment) allows identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) that are conserved between two orthologous promoter sequences.
cpnDB is a curated collection of chaperonin sequence data collected from public databases or generated by a network of collaborators exploiting the cpn60 target in clinical, phylogenetic and microbial ecology studies. The database contains all available sequences for both group I and group II chaperonins. cpnDB is built and maintained with open source tools.
ERPIN (Easy RNA Profile IdentificatioN) takes as input an RNA sequence alignment and secondary structure annotation and will identify a wide variety of known RNA motifs (such as tRNAs, 5S rRNAs, SRP RNA, C/D box snoRNAs, hammerhead motifs, miRNAs and others) in your sequence(s) of interest. Also contains tool for drawing secondary structure of motifs.
EUGENE'HOM is a gene prediction software for eukaryotic organisms based on comparative analysis. The data is currently tuned for plant sequences of up to 400kb.
FeatureScan searches for sequence similarity by comparing physico-chemical properties of DNA such as charge, melting enthalpy, conformational parameters, etc.
