A software package for visualizing and analyzing protein-protein interaction networks. NAViGaTOR can query OPHID / I2D - online databases of interaction data - and display networks in 2D or 3D. To improve scalability and performance, NAViGaTOR combines Java with OpenGL to provide a 2D/3D visualization system on multiple hardware platforms. NAViGaTOR also provides analytical capabilities and supports standard import and export formats such as GO and the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI). NAViGaTOR can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows, Linux / UNIX, and Mac OS systems. NAViGaTOR is written in Java and uses JOGL (Java bindings for OpenGL) to support scalability, highlighting or suppressing of information, and other advanced graphic approaches.

:OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (.dcm / .DCM extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ...) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats. OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve) . OsiriX has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT). Osirix is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging. :

Software which predicts topology and other features of membrane proteins through hydropathy plots based on thermodynamic and biological principles. This version of MPEx uses two types of hydropathy scales: Experiment-based whole-residue partitioning scales and experiment-based biological partitioning scales. The whole-residue partitioning scales predict the transmembrane (TM) segments of membrane proteins of known structure. The biological scale utilizes current knowledge of the code the Sec61 translocon to identify TM segments. MPEx is a Java program (not a Java applet) deployed using Java Web Start, which is part of the Java Runtime Environment.

Software which performs statistical chain tracing by identifying connected alpha-carbon positions using a likelihood-based density target. The target distributions are generated by a simulation calculation using a known reference structure for which calculated phases are available. The success of the method is dependent on the features of the reference structure matching those of the unsolved work structure. For almost all cases, a single reference structure can be used, with modifications automatically applied to the reference structure to match its features to the work structure.
