https://code.google.com/p/sasqpcr/

All-in-one computer program for robust and rapid analysis of quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) data in SAS. It incorporates all functions important for RT-qPCR data analysis including assessment of PCR efficiencies, validation of internal reference genes and normalizers, normalization of confounding variations across samples and statistical comparisons of target gene expression in parallel samples. The program is highly automatic in data analyses and result output. The input data have no limitations for the number of genes or cDNA samples. Users can simply change the macro variables to test various analytical strategies, optimize results and customize the analytical processes. The program is also extendable allowing advanced SAS users to develop particular statistical tests appropriate for their experimental designs. Thus users are the actual decision-makers controlling RT-qPCR data analyses. The program has to be used in SAS software; however, extensive SAS programming knowledge is not required.

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ptw/

Software that aligns patterns, i.e. it aims to put corresponding features at the same locations. The algorithm searches for an optimal polynomial describing the warping. It is possible to align one sample to a reference, several samples to the same reference, or several samples to several references. One can choose between calculating individual warpings, or one global warping for a set of samples and one reference. Two optimization criteria are implemented: RMS (Root Mean Square error) and WCC (Weighted Cross Correlation).

https://code.google.com/p/gutentag/

An interactive, user-editable genetic sequence database tool, targeted at molecular biology research groups that can be browsed using tags. The tool is Web 2.0-flavoured, allowing users to do more than just retrieve information. Its focus on user-editability is supported by the use of tags (metadata) associated with genetic sequences. Several methods of retrieving stored data are available including tag-clouds, BLAST and keyword searches. Also, sequence tags related to HGNC gene names, conserved domains (CDD) and GO terms can be automatically generated given sequence data. The tool is constructed using the high-level Python web framework, Django, with a SQLite3 backend.

http://wiki.solariseclipse.net/PrimerDesigner

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2025. Software program to aid in designing of primers and creation of primer sheets. The program allows users to select a background and enter mutaions. An initial primer is then suggested. User can manipulate the selected primer to add or remove nucleotides from either 5? or 3? ends. A set of parameters reflecting the goodness of the primer is updated on the fly, as the user makes changes. Once happy with the primer, the information is saved in a primer sheet, which can then be uploaded to the BGME lab primer database on the Wiki.

Software tool to examine compositional high-throughput sequence data with Welch's t-test. A differential relative count abundance analysis for the comparison of two conditions. For example, single-organism and meta-rna-seq high-throughput sequencing assays, or of selected and unselected values from in-vitro sequence selections. Uses a Dirichlet-multinomial model to infer abundance from counts, that has been optimized for three or more experimental replicates. Infers sampling variation and calculates the expected Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate given the biological and sampling variation using several parametric and non-parametric tests. Can to glm and Kruskal-Wallace tests on one-way ANOVA style designs.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/primerdesigner/

High throughput PCR primer design software. Target regions defined through a rich set of descriptors, such as Ensembl accessions and arbitrary genomic coordinates, may be specified. Primer pairs are then selected computationally to produce a minimal amplicon set capable of tiling across the specified target regions. As part of the tiling process, primer pairs are computationally screened to meet the criteria for success with one of two PCR amplification protocols.

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ddCt.html

Software package providing an approximation method to determine relative gene expression with quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments. It requires no standard curve for each primer-target pair, therefore reducing the working load and yet returning accurate enough results as long as the assumptions of the amplification efficiency hold. The package implements a pipeline to collect, analyze and visualize qRT-PCR results, for example those from TaqMan SDM software, mainly using the ddCt method. The pipeline can be either invoked by a script in command-line or through the API consisting of S4-Classes, methods and functions.

http://primerseq.sourceforge.net/

Software that designs RT-PCR primers that evaluate alternative splicing events by incorporating RNA-Seq data. It is particularly advantageous for designing a large number of primers for validating alternative splicing events found in RNA-Seq data. It incorporates RNA-Seq data in the design process to weight exons by their read counts. Essentially, the RNA-Seq data allows primers to be placed using actually expressed transcripts. This could be for a particular cell line or experimental condition, rather than using annotations that incorporate transcripts that are not expressed for the data. Alternatively, you can design primers that are always on constitutive exons. PrimerSeq does not limit the use of gene annotations and can be used for a wide array of species.
