Software that aligns patterns, i.e. it aims to put corresponding features at the same locations. The algorithm searches for an optimal polynomial describing the warping. It is possible to align one sample to a reference, several samples to the same reference, or several samples to several references. One can choose between calculating individual warpings, or one global warping for a set of samples and one reference. Two optimization criteria are implemented: RMS (Root Mean Square error) and WCC (Weighted Cross Correlation).

https://code.google.com/p/gutentag/

An interactive, user-editable genetic sequence database tool, targeted at molecular biology research groups that can be browsed using tags. The tool is Web 2.0-flavoured, allowing users to do more than just retrieve information. Its focus on user-editability is supported by the use of tags (metadata) associated with genetic sequences. Several methods of retrieving stored data are available including tag-clouds, BLAST and keyword searches. Also, sequence tags related to HGNC gene names, conserved domains (CDD) and GO terms can be automatically generated given sequence data. The tool is constructed using the high-level Python web framework, Django, with a SQLite3 backend.

http://bodb.usc.edu/bodb/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 4, 2023. BODB offers a way to document computational models of brain function by linking each model to Brain Operating Principles (BOPs), related brain regions, Summaries of Simulation Results (SSRs)and Summaries of Experimental Data (SEDs) used either to design or to test the model. Tools are provided to search for related models and to compare their coverage of SEDs. This allows automatic benchmarking of a model against a cluster of models addressing similar BOPs or SEDs or brain regions. Tools allow display of brain imaging results against a human brain applet; a new tool will link data to a macaque brain applet.

http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/

An organization for universities and research institutions that is an information service and a forum for raising and discussing issues around the mission of modern universities and research institutions, particularly with regard to the creation, dissemination and preservation of research findings. Its aim is to further the opening up of scholarship and research that we are now seeing through the growing open access, open education, open science and open innovation movements. These, and other, "open" approaches to scholarship are changing the way research and learning are done and there are profound implications for universities and research institutions. EOS has been established to help guide developments and to assist others in understanding the issues and their implications. The context in which EOS has been established is that of increasing interest from governments, funders and the research community itself in opening up the way research is carried out and communicated. This interest is complemented by new research practices and processes that can work effectively only in an open, collaborative environment. Developments of relevance to the mission of EnablingOpenScholarship are reported on and news and details of forthcoming meetings, briefings and discussion sessions is provided.

http://function.princeton.edu/GOLEM/index.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented July 7, 2017. Welcome to the home of GOLEM: An interactive, graphical gene-ontology visualization, navigation,and analysis tool on the web. GOLEM is a useful tool which allows the viewer to navigate and explore a local portion of the Gene Ontology (GO) hierarchy. Users can also load annotations for various organisms into the ontology in order to search for particular genes, or to limit the display to show only GO terms relevant to a particular organism, or to quickly search for GO terms enriched in a set of query genes. GOLEM is implemented in Java, and is available both for use on the web as an applet, and for download as a JAR package. A brief tutorial on how to use GOLEM is available both online and in the instructions included in the program. We also have a list of links to libraries used to make GOLEM, as well as the various organizations that curate organism annotations to the ontology. GOLEM is available as a .jar package and a macintosh .app for use on- or off- line as a stand-alone package. You will need to have Java (v.1.5 or greater) installed on your system to run GOLEM. Source code (including Eclipse project files) are also available. GOLEM (Gene Ontology Local Exploration Map)is a visualization and analysis tool for focused exploration of the gene ontology graph. GOLEM allows the user to dynamically expand and focus the local graph structure of the gene ontology hierarchy in the neighborhood of any chosen term. It also supports rapid analysis of an input list of genes to find enriched gene ontology terms. The GOLEM application permits the user either to utilize local gene ontology and annotations files in the absence of an Internet connection, or to access the most recent ontology and annotation information from the gene ontology webpage. GOLEM supports global and organism-specific searches by gene ontology term name, gene ontology id and gene name. CONCLUSION: GOLEM is a useful software tool for biologists interested in visualizing the local directed acyclic graph structure of the gene ontology hierarchy and searching for gene ontology terms enriched in genes of interest. It is freely available both as an application and as an applet.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2025. Software program to aid in designing of primers and creation of primer sheets. The program allows users to select a background and enter mutaions. An initial primer is then suggested. User can manipulate the selected primer to add or remove nucleotides from either 5? or 3? ends. A set of parameters reflecting the goodness of the primer is updated on the fly, as the user makes changes. Once happy with the primer, the information is saved in a primer sheet, which can then be uploaded to the BGME lab primer database on the Wiki.
