RAIphy Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
RAIphy (RRID:SCR_004720) | RAIphy | software resource | A semi-supervised metagenomic fragment classification software program that utilizes the genome signatures to characterize the DNA sequences and taxonomic classification is based on an information theoretic measure referred as Relative Abundance Index (RAI). A DNA sequence of unknown source is classified and taxonomically labeled based on the phylogenetic profiles of the previously sequenced genomes. The profiles are iteratively updated using the unknown DNA sequences and the classification results. After a few cycles, the metagenome is classified into operational taxonomic units. | classification, metagenome, phylogenetic profile, genome, taxonomic classification, dna sequence, relative abundance index |

PoPoolation Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
PoPoolation (RRID:SCR_003495) | PoPoolation | software resource | A collection of tools to facilitate population genetic studies of next generation sequencing data from pooled individuals. It builds upon open source tools (bwa, samtools) and uses standard file formats (gtf, sam, pileup) to ensure a wide compatibility. PoPoolation allows to calculate Tajima's Pi, Watterson's Theta and Tajima's D for reference sequences using a sliding window approach. Alternatively these population genetic estimators may be calculated for a set of genes (provided as gtf). One of the main challenges in population genomics is to identify regions of intererest on a genome wide scale. PoPoolation will greatly aid this task by allowing a fast and user friendly analysis of NGS data from DNA pools. | population genetics, next generation sequencing, sliding window, genome, bio.tools |

CAGE Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
CAGE (RRID:SCR_007574) | CAGE | software resource | Expression profiling and promoter identification software tool for transcriptional network analysis and transcriptome characterization. DeepCAGE, the combination of next-generation sequencing with next generation expression profiling provides unsurpassed solutions for expression profiling and genome annotation. CAGE will be the experimental approach at need to link gene expression and control regions in the genome. With the availability of next-generation sequencing methods, DNAFORM now offers DeepCAGE services. DeepCAGE libraries are prepared for direct analysis by an Illumina/Solexa Sequencer. One sequencing run using one channel on an Illumina/Solexa Sequencer can yield in over 4,000,000 reads per sample. CAGE is based on our full-length cDNA library technology, where an adaptor is ligated to the 5''''-end of full-length cDNAs, which introduces a recognition site for a Class IIs restriction endonuclease adjacent to the 5''''-end of the cDNA. The Class IIs restriction endonuclease, here MmeI, allows for the cloning of short tags as derived from the 5''''-end of transcripts into concatemers for high-throughput sequencing. CAGE tags are further characterized by mapping to genomic sequences, which enables the identification of transcriptional start sites. As such CAGE can contribute to projects in Gene Discovery, Gene Expression, and Promoter Identification. After the genome sequencing projects have provided us with the genetic blueprints for many organisms, new questions have to be answered on how to correlate the observed genotypes with related phenotypes, and how to understand the regulation of genetic information in time and space. The dynamics of living systems and the functional behavior of cells in multicellular organisms has thus become the subject of the emerging field of system biology. Integration of experimental approaches and computer aided theories on a system level will be the fundamental principle to drive systems biology in order to understand the principles behind complex regulatory networks, which will be an ambitious goal requiring new approaches in life sciences.

MedBlast Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
MedBlast (RRID:SCR_008202) | software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs. | gene, article, biological, data, genome, genomic, homolog, literature, medline interfaces, mining, molecular, protein, sequence, specie | National Natural Science Foundation of China 39990600-03; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KSCX2-2-07; Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences KJCX1-08 |

Clippers (RRID:SCR_005256) | Clippers | software resource | A software program designed to identify long deletions of a genome as well as the RNA splicings using long Illumina reads. Currently, Clippers is implemented for long reads Illumina, ex: 75bp or 100bp, allowing mismatches and a single deletion/splicing. Clippers is a sister tool of PerM, our short reads aligner. Users are strongly suggested to use PerM to initially mapped reads and identify the deletion/splicing with the initially unmapped reads. We plan to extend it to ABI SOLiD reads in the near future. Clippers outputs gap-alignments in SAM format. You can use SAMtools or other program to interpret the deletion/splicing. The input files are a reference in fasta format and the reads is in fasta or fastq format. | long deletion, genome, rna splicing, illumina, deletion |

Gene Wiki (RRID:SCR_005317) | Gene Wiki | narrative resource, data or information resource, wiki | The Gene Wiki is a project that facilitates transferring information on human genes to Wikipedia article stubs with the goal of promoting collaboration and expansion of the articles. Number of gene articles The human genome contains an estimated 20,00025,000 protein-coding genes. The goal of the Gene Wiki project is to create seed articles for every notable human gene, that is, every gene whose function has been assigned in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Approximately half of human genes have assigned function, therefore the total number of articles seeded by the Gene Wiki project would be expected to be in the range of 10,000 - 15,000. To date, approximately 10,271 articles have been created or augmented to include Gene Wiki project content. Expansion Once seed articles have been established, the hope and expectation is that these will be annotated and expanded by editors ranging in experience from the lay audience to students to professionals and academics. Proteins encoded by genes The majority of genes encode proteins hence understanding the function of a gene generally requires understanding of the function of the corresponding protein. In addition to including basic information about the gene, the project therefore also includes information about the protein encoded by the gene. Stubs for the Gene Wiki project are created by a bot and contain links to the following primary gene/protein databases * HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee official gene name * Entrez Gene database * OMIM (Mendelian Inheritance in Man) database that catalogues all the known diseases with a genetic component * Amigo Gene Ontology * HomoloGene gene homologs in other species * SymAtlasRNA gene expression pattern in tissues * Protein Data Bank 3D structure of protein encoded by the gene * Uniprot (universal protein resource) a central repository of protein data | gene, genome, human, annotation | has parent organization: Wikipedia | PMID:18613750 | nlx_144371 | SCR_005317 | GeneWiki | 2026-08-01 12:02:49 | 3 |
