http://www.broadinstitute.org/software/scripture/

Software for transcriptome reconstruction that relies solely on RNA-Seq reads and an assembled genome to build a transcriptome ab initio. The statistical methods to estimate read coverage significance are also applicable to other sequencing data. Scripture also has modules for ChIP-Seq peak calling.

http://hmmer.janelia.org/

Tool for searching sequence databases for homologs of protein sequences, and for making protein sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic models called profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs). Compared to BLAST, FASTA, and other sequence alignment and database search tools based on older scoring methodology, HMMER aims to be significantly more accurate and more able to detect remote homologs because of the strength of its underlying mathematical models. In the past, this strength came at significant computational expense, but in the new HMMER3 project, HMMER is now essentially as fast as BLAST.

http://bioinformatics.mdanderson.org/main/SpliceSeq:Overview

A Java application to investigate alternative mRNA splicing patterns in data from high-throughput mRNA sequencing studies. Sequence reads are mapped to splice graphs that unambiguously quantify the inclusion level of each exon and splice junction. The graphs are then traversed to predict the protein isoforms that are likely to result from the observed exon and splice junction reads. UniProt annotations are mapped to each protein isoform to identify potential functional impacts of alternative splicing. This tool may be used on a single RNASeq sample to identify genes with multiple spliceforms, on a pair of samples to identify differential splicing between the two, or on groups of samples to identify statistically significant group level differences in splicing patterns. SpliceSeq can be run from the install page as a java web start application to explore the sequencing data on their server or can be installed locally to analyze your own mRNA-Seq data.

http://code.google.com/p/hydra-sv/

Software that detects structural variation (SV) breakpoints by clustering discordant paired-end alignments whose signatures corroborate the same putative breakpoint. Hydra can detect breakpoints caused by all classes of structural variation. Moreover, it was designed to detect variation in both unique and duplicated genomic regions; therefore, it will examine paired-end reads having multiple discordant alignments. Hydra does not attempt to classify SV breakpoints based on the mapping distances and orientations of each breakpoint cluster, it merely detects and reports breakpoints. This is an intentional decision, as it was observed that in loci affected by complex rearrangements, the type of variant suggested by the breakpoint signature is not always correct. Hydra does report the orientations, distances, number of supporting read-pairs, etc., for each breakpoint. It is suggested that downstream methods be used to classify variants based on the genomic features that they overlap and the co-occurrence of other breakpoints. For example, they developed BEDTools for exactly this purpose and the breakpoints reported by Hydra are in the BEDPE format used by BEDTools. Future releases of Hydra will include scripts that assist in the classification process.

http://bioportal.bioontology.org/annotator

A Web service that annotates textual metadata (e.g. journal abstract) with relevant ontology concepts. NCBO uses this Web service to annotate resources in the NCBO Resource Index. They also provide this Web service as a stand-alone service for users. This Web service can be accessed through BioPortal or used directly in your software. Currently, the annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using concept names and synonyms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the semantics in ontologies (e.g., is_a relations). Their service methodology leverages ontologies to create annotations of raw text and returns them using semantic web standards.

http://services.nbic.nl/copub/portal/

Text mining tool that detects co-occuring biomedical concepts in abstracts from the MedLine literature database. It allows batch input of multiple human, mouse or rat genes and produces lists of keywords from several biomedical thesauri that are significantly correlated with the set of input genes. These lists link to Medline abstracts in which the co-occurring input genes and correlated keywords are highlighted. Furthermore, CoPub can graphically visualize differentially expressed genes and over-represented keywords in a network, providing detailed insight in the relationships between genes and keywords, and revealing the most influential genes as highly connected hubs.

http://users-birc.au.dk/biopv/php/fabox/

Tools for splitting, joining and otherwise manipulating FASTA format sequence files. The first tools in the toolbox is for manipulating fasta headers, cropping alignments and doing some sequence comparison allowing users to combine the description of data (often in excel spreadsheets) with the actual data (often DNA sequences). Also, producing correct input files for a range of programs seems to be problematic for the average user. Hence, some converters in some of the services have been included as well as some stand-alone converters. The converters are not necessarily meant to provide the final input file, but you''ll get a valid input file for Arlequin, MrBayes etc. - that you may further edit so it suit your needs. This means that you may need to combine several of the tools to finish your handling - but it keeps it relatively simple to use. Please note that FaBox is written in PHP and ONLY RUNS ON A WEBSERVER.
