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://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/dialign/

Tool for multiple sequence alignment using various sources of external information that is particularly useful to detect local homologies in sequences with low overall similarity. While standard alignment methods rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies. Several versions of DIALIGN are available online at GOBICS, http://dialign.gobics.de/

http://function.princeton.edu/GOLEM/index.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented July 7, 2017. Welcome to the home of GOLEM: An interactive, graphical gene-ontology visualization, navigation,and analysis tool on the web. GOLEM is a useful tool which allows the viewer to navigate and explore a local portion of the Gene Ontology (GO) hierarchy. Users can also load annotations for various organisms into the ontology in order to search for particular genes, or to limit the display to show only GO terms relevant to a particular organism, or to quickly search for GO terms enriched in a set of query genes. GOLEM is implemented in Java, and is available both for use on the web as an applet, and for download as a JAR package. A brief tutorial on how to use GOLEM is available both online and in the instructions included in the program. We also have a list of links to libraries used to make GOLEM, as well as the various organizations that curate organism annotations to the ontology. GOLEM is available as a .jar package and a macintosh .app for use on- or off- line as a stand-alone package. You will need to have Java (v.1.5 or greater) installed on your system to run GOLEM. Source code (including Eclipse project files) are also available. GOLEM (Gene Ontology Local Exploration Map)is a visualization and analysis tool for focused exploration of the gene ontology graph. GOLEM allows the user to dynamically expand and focus the local graph structure of the gene ontology hierarchy in the neighborhood of any chosen term. It also supports rapid analysis of an input list of genes to find enriched gene ontology terms. The GOLEM application permits the user either to utilize local gene ontology and annotations files in the absence of an Internet connection, or to access the most recent ontology and annotation information from the gene ontology webpage. GOLEM supports global and organism-specific searches by gene ontology term name, gene ontology id and gene name. CONCLUSION: GOLEM is a useful software tool for biologists interested in visualizing the local directed acyclic graph structure of the gene ontology hierarchy and searching for gene ontology terms enriched in genes of interest. It is freely available both as an application and as an applet.

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.
