VirusHunter Resource Report Resource Website |
VirusHunter (RRID:SCR_001198) | VirusHunter | software resource | A fully automated and modular software package for mining sequence data to identify sequences of microbial origin. The pipeline was optimized for analysis of data generated by the Roche/454 next-generation sequencing platform but can be applied to longer sequences (Sanger sequencing data or assembled contigs) as well. Microbial sequences are identified on the basis of BLAST alignments and the taxonomic classification of the reference sequence(s) to which a read is aligned. Viruses are the focal point of VirusHunter as released, but it can be easily modified to generate parallel outputs for bacterial or parasitic species. To date, VirusHunter has been applied to thousands of specimens, including human, animal and environmental samples, resulting in the detection of many known and novel viruses. | virus, next-generation sequencing, roche, 454, taxonomic classification, alignment, bio.tools |

Genome Trax Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Genome Trax (RRID:SCR_001234) | Genome Trax | service resource | Service that provides a comprehensive compilation of variant knowledge that allows you to identify pathogenic variants in human whole genome or exome sequences. It makes it easy to upload a complete genome?s worth of variations and identify the biologically relevant subset of known mutations, mutations that are novel and appear in a candidate disease genes, or mutations that are predicted to have a deleterious effect. The database includes a comprehensive collection of disease causing mutations from HGMD Professional, regulatory sites from TRANSFAC , and disease genes, drug targets and pathways from PROTEOME, as well as pharmacogenomic variants. It integrates the best public data-sets on somatic mutations, allele frequencies and clinical variants, in their most up-to-date version, for a total of more than 165 million annotations. It is possible to identify known pathogenic variants, remove harmless common variants, and obtain deleterious predictions for novel variants. With family data, it is possible to identify variants that are de novo, compound heterozygous only in the offspring. All of the results can be downloaded to Excel for further review. For core facilities and bioinformaticians, the complete underlying data is made available for download and easy integration into custom analysis pipelines. Genome Trax data is optimized to work with many other software packages, such as ANNOVARTM, CLC bio, Alamut, SimulConsult, and Cartagenia. | next-generation sequencing, genome, exome, sequence, variation, mutation, pathogenic, database, bio.tools, bio.tools |

TileQC Resource Report Resource Website |
TileQC (RRID:SCR_001229) | TileQC | software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May,10, 2021.Software providing a visually oriented tile based approach to error detection for Solexa next-gen sequencing data. It is written in R and has both qualitative and quantitative error detection features. This software was written with the idea that the researcher's visual pattern recognition is the best way to detect novel errors and contains variety of ways to visualize that data. Once a new type of error is identified the data extraction features of the program may then be used as a starting point for the programmatic detection and/or filtration of similar errors. A supplementary role of tileQC is to convert the Eland and Q-score data contained within the Solexa "*_prb.txt" and "*_eland_results.txt" text files to a more flexible database form. Once in database form, tileQC simplifies the mechanics of interacting with that data and supplements standard SQL with an expression subsitution mechanism that allows R to be easily comingled with SQL. This system requires access to a mySQL server and the R package RMySQL as well as a few standard UNIX tools (also available on Windows and Macintosh). | next-generation sequencing, quality control, solexa, r, tile, bio.tools |

VAAL Resource Report Resource Website |
VAAL (RRID:SCR_001184) | VAAL | software resource | A polymorphism discovery algorithm for short reads. To run it, you provide reads (and quality scores) from a "sample genome" as input, along with a vector sequence to trim from the reads, and a reference sequence for a related genome to compare to. VAAL produces as output a an assembly for the sample genome, together with a mask showing which bases are "trusted". It then deduces from that a list of differences between the sample and related genomes. Alternatively, it can be provided as input read data for two sample genomes, together with a reference sequence for a related genome. In this case, VAAL produces assemblies for each of the sample genomes, and compares them to each other, thereby deducing a list of differences between them. VAAL has been tested on bacteria, using single lanes of 36 bp unpaired reads from the Illumina platform. Note: This software package is no longer supported and information on this page is provided for archival purposes only. | dna sequence, polymorphism, parallel sequencing, bio.tools |

multtest (RRID:SCR_001255) | multtest | software resource | Software package for non-parametric bootstrap and permutation resampling-based multiple testing procedures (including empirical Bayes methods) for controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), generalized family-wise error rate (gFWER), tail probability of the proportion of false positives (TPPFP), and false discovery rate (FDR). Several choices of bootstrap-based null distribution are implemented (centered, centered and scaled, quantile-transformed). Single-step and step-wise methods are available. Tests based on a variety of t- and F-statistics (including t-statistics based on regression parameters from linear and survival models as well as those based on correlation parameters) are included. When probing hypotheses with t-statistics, users may also select a potentially faster null distribution which is multivariate normal with mean zero and variance covariance matrix derived from the vector influence function. Results are reported in terms of adjusted p-values, confidence regions and test statistic cutoffs. The procedures are directly applicable to identifying differentially expressed genes in DNA microarray experiments. | differential expression, microarray, multiple comparison, bio.tools |

gprege Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
gprege (RRID:SCR_001324) | gprege | software resource | Software R package for Gaussian Process Ranking and Estimation of Gene Expression time-series. The software fits two Gaussian processes (GPs) with an radial basis function (RBF) (+ noise diagonal) kernel on each profile. One GP kernel is initialized wih a short lengthscale hyperparameter, signal variance as the observed variance and a zero noise variance. It is optimized via scaled conjugate gradients (netlab). A second GP has fixed hyperparameters: zero inverse-width, zero signal variance and noise variance as the observed variance. The log-ratio of marginal likelihoods of the two hypotheses acts as a score of differential expression for the profile. Comparison via receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) is performed against Bayesian hierarchical model for the analysis of time-series (BATS) (Angelini et.al, 2007). | differential expression, microarray, preprocessing, time course, bio.tools |
