RetroSeq Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
RetroSeq (RRID:SCR_005133) | RetroSeq | software resource | A tool for discovery and genotyping of transposable element variants (TEVs) (also known as mobile element insertions) from next-gen sequencing reads aligned to a reference genome in BAM format. The goal is to call TEVs that are not present in the reference genome but present in the sample that has been sequenced. It should be noted that RetroSeq can be used to locate any class of viral insertion in any species where whole-genome sequencing data with a suitable reference genome is available. RetroSeq is a two phase process, the first being the read pair discovery phase where discorandant mate pairs are detected and assigned to a TE class (Alu, SINE, LINE, etc.) by using either the annotated TE elements in the reference and/or aligned with Exonerate to the supplied library of viral sequences. | mobile element insertion, next-gen sequencing, bam, transposable element, genome, sequence |

VirusFinder Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
VirusFinder (RRID:SCR_005205) | VirusFinder | software resource | Software tool for efficient and accurate detection of viruses and their integration sites in host genomes through next generation sequencing data. Specifically, it detects virus infection, co-infection with multiple viruses, virus integration sites in host genomes, as well as mutations in the virus genomes. It also facilitates virus discovery by reporting novel contigs, long sequences assembled from short reads that map neither to the host genome nor to the genomes of known viruses. VirusFinder 2 works with both paired-end and single-end data, unlike the previous 1.x versions that accepted only paired-end reads. The types of NGS data that VirusFinder 2 can deal with include whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq), targeted sequencing data such as whole exome sequencing (WES) and ultra-deep amplicon sequencing. | next-generation sequencing, virus, integration site, genome, mutation, virus genome, contig, paired-end, single-end, whole genome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing, rna-seq, targeted sequencing, whole exome sequencing, ultra-deep amplicon sequencing |

NGS-SNP Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
NGS-SNP (RRID:SCR_005182) | NGS-SNP | software resource | A collection of command-line scripts for providing rich annotations for SNPs identified by the sequencing of transcripts or whole genomes from organisms with reference sequences in Ensembl. Included among the annotations, several of which are not available from any existing SNP annotation tools, are the results of detailed comparisons with orthologous sequences. These comparisons allow, for example, SNPs to be sorted or filtered based on how drastically the SNP changes the score of a protein alignment. Other fields indicate the names of overlapping protein domains or features, and the conservation of both the SNP site and flanking regions. NCBI, Ensembl, and Uniprot IDs are provided for genes, transcripts, and proteins when applicable, along with Gene Ontology terms, a gene description, phenotypes linked to the gene, and an indication of whether the SNP is novel or known. A ?Model_Annotations? field provides several annotations obtained by transferring in silico the SNP to an orthologous gene, typically in a well-characterized species. | annotation, snp, sequencing, transcript, genome, reference sequence, indel, annotate, reference chromosome, reference transcript, gene, command-line |

Ergatis (RRID:SCR_005377) | Ergatis | software resource | A web interface and scalable software system for bioinformatics workflows that is used to create, run, and monitor reusable computational analysis pipelines. It contains pre-built components for common bioinformatics analysis tasks. These components can be arranged graphically to form highly-configurable pipelines. Each analysis component supports multiple output formats, including the Bioinformatic Sequence Markup Language (BSML). The current implementation includes support for data loading into project databases following the CHADO schema, a highly normalized, community-supported schema for storage of biological annotation data. Ergatis uses the Workflow engine to process its work on a compute grid. Workflow provides an XML language and processing engine for specifying the steps of a computational pipeline. It provides detailed execution status and logging for process auditing, facilitates error recovery from point of failure, and is highly scalable with support for distributed computing environments. The XML format employed enables commands to be run serially, in parallel, and in any combination or nesting level. | workflow, bioinformatics, workflow management, pipeline, computation, genomics, genome, processing |

Hydra Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
Hydra (RRID:SCR_005260) | Hydra | software resource | Software that detects structural variation (SV) breakpoints by clustering discordant paired-end alignments whose signatures corroborate the same putative breakpoint. Hydra can detect breakpoints caused by all classes of structural variation. Moreover, it was designed to detect variation in both unique and duplicated genomic regions; therefore, it will examine paired-end reads having multiple discordant alignments. Hydra does not attempt to classify SV breakpoints based on the mapping distances and orientations of each breakpoint cluster, it merely detects and reports breakpoints. This is an intentional decision, as it was observed that in loci affected by complex rearrangements, the type of variant suggested by the breakpoint signature is not always correct. Hydra does report the orientations, distances, number of supporting read-pairs, etc., for each breakpoint. It is suggested that downstream methods be used to classify variants based on the genomic features that they overlap and the co-occurrence of other breakpoints. For example, they developed BEDTools for exactly this purpose and the breakpoints reported by Hydra are in the BEDPE format used by BEDTools. Future releases of Hydra will include scripts that assist in the classification process. | structural variation, genome, genomic, breakpoint, c++, cnv, pem, paired-end, segmental duplication, rearrangement |
