http://droog.gs.washington.edu/polyphred/

Software program that compares fluorescence-based sequences across traces obtained from different individuals to identify heterozygous sites for single nucleotide substitutions. Its functions are integrated with the use of three other programs: Phred (Brent Ewing and Phil Green), Phrap (Phil Green), and Consed (David Gordon and Phil Green). PolyPhred identifies potential heterozygotes using the base calls and peak information provided by Phred and the sequence alignments provided by Phrap. Potential heterozygotes identified by PolyPhred are marked for rapid inspection using the Consed tool.

https://code.google.com/p/ibm-cbc-genomic-tools/

A flexible computational platform, comprising both a command-line set of tools and a C++ API, for the analysis and manipulation of high-throughput sequencing data such as DNA-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and MethylC-seq. It implements a variety of mathematical operations between sets of genomic regions thereby enabling the prototyping of computational pipelines that can address tasks from preprocessing and quality control to meta-analyses. The user can create average read profiles across transcriptional start sites or enhancer sites, quickly prototype customized peak discovery methods for ChIP-seq experiments, perform genome-wide statistical tests such as enrichment analyses, design controls via appropriate randomization schemes, among other applications. In addition to enabling rapid prototyping, the platform is designed to analyze large-datasets in a single-pass fashion in order to minimize memory and intermediate file requirements. The platform supports the widely used BED format to facilitate visualization as well as integration with existing platforms and pipelines such as Galaxy or BioConductor.

http://www.genome.duke.edu/labs/ohler/research/PARalyzer/

Software tool to generate a high resolution map of interaction sites between RNA-binding proteins and their targets. The algorithm utilizes the deep sequencing reads generated by the newly developed PAR-CLIP (Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation) protocol. The use of photoactivatable nucleotides in the PAR-CLIP protocol results in a more efficient crosslinking between the RNA-binding protein and its target relative to other CLIP methods; in addition a nucleotide substitution occurs at the site of crosslinking during Illumina library preparation. PARalyzer utilizes this nucleotide substition in a kernel density estimate classifier to generate the high resolution set of Protein-RNA interaction sites.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 18,2025.Software to classify the function and phylogeny of reads as short as 30 bp. It is flexible, which can utilize multiple data modules and downstream analysis scripts. It is fast, reading in signature lists of 5-500 million peptide signatures in 1-15 minutes, and subsequently processes genomic fragments at the rate of 6 Gbp/hr. It parallelizes without significant increase in memory requirements until I/O bound on multiple input files; parallelization works well on 64 processors.

http://www.bioinformatics.org/peakanalyzer/wiki/

A set of standalone software programs for the automated processing of any genomic loci, with an emphasis on datasets consisting of ChIP-derived signal peaks. The software is able to identify individual binding / modification sites from enrichment loci, retrieve peak region sequences for motif discovery, and integrate experimental data with different classes of annotated elements throughout the genome. PeakAnalyzer requires a peak file and a feature annotation file in BED or GTF format. Complete annotation files for the current builds of the human (HG19) and mouse (MM9) genomes are provided with the software distribution.

http://sv.gersteinlab.org/breakseq/

Software for scanning reads from short-read sequenced genomes against a human breakpoint library to accurately identify structural variants (SVs). The library of breakpoints at nucleotide resolution were assembled from collating and standardizing ~2,000 published structural variants (SVs). For each breakpoint, its ancestral state (through comparison to primate genomes) was inferred and its mechanism of formation (e.g., nonallelic homologous recombination, NAHR).

https://sites.google.com/site/vibansal/software/picall

Software to detect short insertion / deletion variants (and SNPs) from population sequence data, i.e. sequence reads generated from a population of individuals. It uses a probabilistic model to utilize sequence reads from a population of individuals to automatically account for context-specific sequencing errors associated with indels. piCALL is implemented in C for use on Linux platforms and can be applied to sequence data from different sequencing platforms. However, the method requires each individual in a dataset to be sequenced using the same platform. The reads for each individual should be aligned to the same reference genome sequence. Note that the program will not be able to call indels from individual sequence datasets or data from a small number of individuals.
