DEXUS Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
DEXUS (RRID:SCR_001309) | DEXUS | software resource | Software package that identifies differentially expressed genes in RNA-Seq data under all possible study designs such as studies without replicates, without sample groups, and with unknown conditions. It works also for known conditions, for example for RNA-Seq data with two or multiple conditions. RNA-Seq read count data can be provided both by the S4 class Count Data Set and by read count matrices. Differentially expressed transcripts can be visualized by heatmaps, in which unknown conditions, replicates, and samples groups are also indicated. This software is fast since the core algorithm is written in C. For very large data sets, a parallel version of DEXUS is provided in this package. DEXUS is a statistical model that is selected in a Bayesian framework by an EM algorithm. It does not need replicates to detect differentially expressed transcripts, since the replicates (or conditions) are estimated by the EM method for each transcript. The method provides an informative/non-informative value to extract differentially expressed transcripts at a desired significance level or power. | classification, differential expression, gene expression, hapmap, quality control, rna-seq, sequencing, bio.tools |

vsn Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
vsn (RRID:SCR_001459) | vsn | software resource | Software package that implements a method for normalizing microarray intensities, both between colours within array, and between arrays. The method uses a robust variant of the maximum-likelihood estimator for the stochastic model of microarray data described in the references. The model incorporates data calibration (a.k.a. normalization), a model for the dependence of the variance on the mean intensity, and a variance stabilizing data transformation. Differences between transformed intensities are analogous to normalized log-ratios. However, in contrast to the latter, their variance is independent of the mean, and they are usually more sensitive and specific in detecting differential transcription. | microarray, preprocessing, bio.tools |

MMAPPR Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
MMAPPR (RRID:SCR_005092) | MMAPPR | software resource | A software analysis pipeline for mapping mutations using RNA-seq that works without parental strain information, without the requirement of a pre-existing snp map of the organism, and without erroneous assumptions that recombination occurs at the same frequency across the genome. In addition, it compensates for the considerable amount of noise in RNA-seq datasets and simultaneously identifies the region where the mutation lies and generates a list of putative coding region mutations in the linked genomic segment. MMAPPR can utilize RNA-seq datasets from isolated tissues or whole organisms that are often generated for phenotypic analysis and gene network analysis in novel mutants. | mutation, rna-seq, bio.tools |

V-Phaser 2 (RRID:SCR_005212) | V-Phaser 2 | software resource | A software tool to call variants in genetically heterogeneous populations from ultra-deep sequence data. It combines information regarding the covariation (i.e. phasing) between observed variants to increase sensitivity and an expectation maximization algorithm that iteratively recalibrates base quality scores to increase specificity. V-Phaser can reliably detect rare variants in diverse populations that occur at frequencies of <1%. V-Phaser 2 is a complete rewrite of the original V-Phaser. It contains a new model for length polymorphisms (indels) and incorporates paired end read information in its phasing model. The data access and probability computation sections of the code have also been highly optimized, resulting in substantial improvements in running time and memory usage. | variant, polymorphism, indel, virus, bio.tools |

It supports several data formats and allows the user to modulate very finely the sensitivity of the alignments. The program is designed to handle huge amounts of short reads generated by ILLUMINA, SOLiD and Roche-454 technology. The optimization of the internal data structure and a filter based on precomputed short-word alignments allow the program to skip false positives in the extension phase, thus reducing the execution time without loss of sensitivity.
