Software integrated tool for conducting automatic and manual sequence alignment, inferring phylogenetic trees, mining web based databases, estimating rates of molecular evolution, and testing evolutionary hypotheses. Used for comparative analysis of DNA and protein sequences to infer molecular evolutionary patterns of genes, genomes, and species over time. MEGA version 4 expands on existing facilities for editing DNA sequence data from autosequencers, mining Web-databases, performing automatic and manual sequence alignment, analyzing sequence alignments to estimate evolutionary distances, inferring phylogenetic trees, and testing evolutionary hypotheses. MEGA version 6 enables inference of timetrees, as it implements RelTime method for estimating divergence times for all branching points in phylogeny.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on June 10, 2016. A consortium that created universal descriptors to describe functionally similar gene products and their attributes across all organisms. In 2004, the PAMGO interest group joined the GO consortium to extend the GO to include terms describing various processes related to microbe-host interactions. The organization uses a controlled vocabulary to set a process in place to describe plant associated microbes and their interactions with their plant-hosts. These higher order terms can describe gene products of all types of symbionts (e.g. parasites, commensals, and mutualists), including prokaryotes and eukaryotes that associate with plant or animal hosts. This initiative is a multi-institutional collaborative effort to pool information and research in: the bacteria Dickeya dadantii, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the fungus Magnaporthe grisea, the oomycetes Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora ramorum, and the nematode Meloidogyne hapla.

http://wings-workflows.org

A software application which assists scientists with designing computational experiments. WINGS is a semantic workflow system which incorporates semantic constraints about datasets and workflow components into its workflow representations. The workflow system has an open modular design and can be easily integrated with other existing workflow systems and execution frameworks to extend them with semantic reasoning capabilities. WINGS also allows users to express high-level descriptions of their analysis goals, and assists them by automatically and systematically generating possible workflows that are consistent with that request. In cases where privacy or off-line use are important, WINGS can submit workflows in a scripted format for execution in the local host. It uses Pegasus or OODT as the execution engine for large-scale distributed workflow execution.

http://animatlab.com/

A software tool that combines biomechanical simulation and biologically realistic neural networks to create realistic models of, and perform tests on, biomechanical workings. AnimatLab was primarily designed to model and test the operation of neural circuits that might produce behavior patterns observed in an intact animal. Users can create an animalistic or robotic body and place it in a virtual environment with physics that are accurate and realistic. Users can then design a nervous system that controls the behavior of the body within the physically realistic environment. Various models for different types of actions, builds, and movements are available.

http://cellorganizer.org

Image analysis software that learns modular models of things such as cell shape, nuclear shape, vesicular organelle distribution and microtubule distribution directly from 2D or 3D images and can produce specific instances of cell geometries without the need to create them by hand or to segment microscope images. These geometries can be combined with biochemical models to perform spatially realistic cell simulations if used in conjunction with MCell.
