http://rp-www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~yangpy/software/MFGE.html

A hybrid software system for feature selection and sample classification of high-dimensional datasets. It is designed for microarray but can be applied to any other high-dimensional datasets. It uses multiple filters to produce a normalized score for each feature. The score is an indication of the usefulness of each feature. It is then translated into a frequency map with more useful features receive a higher frequency in the map.

http://bamview.sourceforge.net/

A free interactive display of read alignments in BAM data files that can be launched with Java Web Start or downloaded. This interactive Java application for visualizing the large amounts of data stored for sequence reads which are aligned against a reference genome sequence can be used in a number of contexts including SNP calling and structural annotation. It has been integrated into Artemis so that the reads can be viewed in the context of the nucleotide sequence and genomic features. The source code is available as part of the Artemis code which can be downloaded from GitHub.

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/genomedata/

A format for efficient storage of multiple tracks of numeric data anchored to a genome. The format allows fast random access to hundreds of gigabytes of data, while retaining a small disk space footprint. They have also developed utilities to load data into this format. Retrieving data from this format is more than 2900 times faster than a naive approach using wiggle files. A reference implementation in Python and C components is available here under the GNU General Public License. The software has only been tested on Linux and Mac systems.

http://rosalind.info/

A software infrastructure, course and tool set for teaching bioinformatics, and biology through the use of models. This platform for learning bioinformatics through problem solving aims to make learning bioinformatics fun and easy. Learning bioinformatics usually requires solving computational problems of varying difficulty that are extracted from real challenges of molecular biology. Rosalind offers an array of intellectually stimulating problems that grow in biological and computational complexity; each problem is checked automatically, so that the only resource required to learn bioinformatics is an internet connection. Rosalind also promises to facilitate improvements in standard bioinformatics education by providing a vital teaching aid and a central homework resource. Rosalind is inspired by Project Euler, Google Code Jam, and the ever growing movement of free online courses. The project''s name commemorates Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray crystallography with Raymond Gosling facilitated the discovery of the DNA double helix by Watson and Crick. We hope that Rosalind will inspire a new generation of bioinformatics students by attracting biologists who want to develop vital programming skills at their own pace in a unique environment as well as programmers who have never been exposed to some of the stimulating computational problems generated by molecular biology.

http://www.ccmb.med.umich.edu/ccdu/SNPAAMapper

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2025. A downstream variant annotation program that can effectively classify variants by region (e.g. exon, intron, etc), predict amino acid change type (e.g. synonymous, non-synonymous mutation, etc), and prioritize mutation effects (e.g. CDS versus 5?UTR, etc). Major features: * The pipeline accepts the VCF (Variant Call Format) input file in tab-delimited format and processes the vcf input file containing all cases (G5, lowFreq, and novel) * The variant mapping step has the option of letting users select whether they want to report the bp distance between each identified intron variant and its nearby exon * The pipeline can deal with VCF files called by different SAMTools versions (0.1.18 and older ones) and also offers flexibility in dealing with vcf input files generated using SAMTools with two or three samples * The spreadsheet result file contains full protein sequences for both ref and alt alleles, which makes it easier for downstream protein structure/function analysis tools to take

http://www.scrm.uzh.ch/biobank.html

The SCRM-CTBB offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and technologies (e.g. cryogenic work bench, semiautomatic cryogenic storage system, uninterrupted cooling chain) and is structured into two areas, including research and a GMP/GCP regulated therapeutic applications. Research: For pre-clinical studies, the SCRM-CTBB provides researchers guidance regarding cell and tissue cryo-preservation, comprising registration, handling, storage and distribution. In order to ensure complete traceability on samples and belonging information all processes are controlled by a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Quality Assurance (QA) system. The SCRM Biobank is designed to create database that allows connection with other biobanks nationally and internationally. This meta-data file will enable a unique scientific resource for interdisciplinary research. For every new study a contract is established describing the study and the disposition rights. Assistance in writing Biobank Agreements (BAs) and Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) is provided. Therapeutical applications: As a new feature, apart from research, the SCRM Biobank enables the asservation and preservation of cells and tissues under GMP conditions for later therapeutic use. A special focus will be on a conceptional combination of private and public umbilical cord blood banking (hybrid banking), which allows autologous and/or allogeneic cell applications.
