A Web-based Tool for High-throughput Primer and Probe Design. The program has its different utilities available on its web server. A standalone version is also available. Algorithms: * SSPD - Sequence Specific Primer Design: to design primers for each of the specific sequences given by the user in the query input file against any alternate potential hybridization with any of the sequences given in the database input file. * PSPD - Probe Specific Primer Design: to design primers it selects the gene-specific fragments (probes) to design primer pairs for their PCR amplification. * FSPD Fragment Specific Primer Design: primer design algorithm used when there is a very long query sequence for which multiple primers are required for its amplification. * Check Binding Specificity * Probe Design Only: Probe design algorithm could be used to find sequence-specific probes, which doesn''t show any blast hit against database. Such probe design has been used for targeted sequencing like agilent sure-select technology with next-generation sequencing.

http://carringtonlab.org/resources/cashx
Software pipeline to parse, map, quantify and manage large quantities of sequence data. CASHX is a set of tools that can be used together, or as independent modules on their own. The reference genome alignment tools can be used with any reference sequence in fasta format. The pipeline was designed and tested using Arabidopsis thaliana small RNA reads generated using an Illumina 1G.

http://sourceforge.net/p/treq/home/Home/
A software read mapper for high-throughput DNA sequencing reads, in particular one to several hundred nucleotides in length, and for large edit distance between sequencing read and match in the reference genome. It can cope particularly well with indels for single-best hit recall of 200nt reads simulated from the human reference genome. TreQ performs best at a running time comparable to BWA at large edit distance settings.

An R package for network-based feature (gene) selection for biomarkers discovery via integrating biological information. The package adapts the following 5 algorithms for classifying and predicting gene expression data using prior knowledge: # average gene expression of pathway (aep); # pathway activities classification (PAC); # Hub network classification (hubc); # filter via top ranked genes (FrSVM); # network smoothed t-statistic (stSVM).

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/DMRforPairs.html
Software for identifying differentially methylated regions between unique samples using array based methylation profiles. It allows researchers to compare n greater than or equal to 2 unique samples with regard to their methylation profile. The (pairwise) comparison of n unique single samples distinguishesit from other existing pipelines as these often compare groups of samples in either single CpG locus or region based analysis. DMRforPairs defines regions of interest as genomic ranges with sufficient probes located in close proximity to each other. Probes in one region are optionally annotated to the same functional class(es). Differential methylation is evaluated by comparing the methylation values within each region between individual samples and (if the difference is sufficiently large), testing this difference formally for statistical significance.
