An algorithm for detecting genomic structural variations at base-pair resolution using next-generation sequencing data. CREST uses pieces of DNA called soft clips to find structural variations. Soft clips are the DNA segments produced during sequencing that fail to properly align to the reference genome as the sample genome is reassembled. CREST uses the soft clips to precisely identify sites of chromosomal rearrangement or where pieces of DNA are inserted or deleted.

http://www.bioextract.org/GuestLogin

An open, web-based system designed to aid researchers in the analysis of genomic data by providing a platform for the creation of bioinformatic workflows. Scientific workflows are created within the system by recording tasks performed by the user. These tasks may include querying multiple, distributed data sources, saving query results as searchable data extracts, and executing local and web-accessible analytic tools. The series of recorded tasks can then be saved as a reproducible, sharable workflow available for subsequent execution with the original or modified inputs and parameter settings. Integrated data resources include interfaces to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) nucleotide and protein databases, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL-Bank) non-redundant nucleotide database, the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt), and the UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef) database. The system offers access to numerous preinstalled, curated analytic tools and also provides researchers with the option of selecting computational tools from a large list of web services including the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS), BioMoby, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). The system further allows users to integrate local command line tools residing on their own computers through a client-side Java applet.

http://code.google.com/p/hydra-sv/

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.

http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/mwas.html

The MAKER Web Annotation Service (MWAS) is an easily configurable web-accessible genome annotation pipeline. It''''s purpose is to allow research groups with small to intermediate amounts of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome sequence (i.e. BAC clones, small whole genomes, preliminary sequencing data, etc.) to independently annotate and analyze their data and produce output that can be loaded into a genome database. MWAS is build on the stand alone genome annotation pipeline MAKER, and users who wish to annotate larger datasets and whole genomes are free to download MAKER for use on their own systems. MWAS identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values. MWAS can also automatically train popular gene prediction algorithms for use on new genomes for which pre-existing information is limited. MAKER is a member of the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project and output produced by this site can be directly used with other GMOD tools. Annotations can be directly viewed online by the user via GBrowse, JBrowse, and Apollo, or they can be downloaded for local analysis and integration into a genome database. MWAS also supplies summary statistics on sequence features via the Sequence Ontology tool SOBA. MWAS should prove especially useful for emerging model organism genome projects with minimal bioinformatics expertise and computer resources, since a user can produce final genome annotations without having to install and configure any software locally.

http://pringlelab.stanford.edu/projects.html

Software to collapse identical and near-identical Illumina and 454 reads (such as those from PCR clones) into single error-corrected sequences; it can process paired-end as well as single-end reads. Fulcrum is customizable and can be deployed on a single machine, a local network or a commercially available MapReduce cluster, and it has been optimized to maximize ease-of-use, cross-platform compatibility and future scalability. Sequence datasets have been collapsed by up to 71%, and the reduced number and improved quality of the resulting sequences allow assemblers to produce longer contigs while using less memory.

http://bejerano.stanford.edu/phenotree/

Web server to search for genes involved in given phenotypic difference between mammalian species. The mouse-referenced multiple alignment data files used to perform the forward genomics screen is also available. The webserver implements one strategy of a Forward Genomics approach aiming at matching phenotype to genotype. Forward genomics matches a given pattern of phenotypic differences between species to genomic differences using a genome-wide screen. In the implementation, the divergence of the coding region of genes in mammals is measured. Given an ancestral phenotypic trait that is lost in independent mammalian lineages, it is shown that searching for genes that are more diverged in all trait-loss species can discover genes that are involved in the given phenotype.

https://github.com/Ensembl

Public database that stores areas of genome that differ between individual genomes (variants) and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information. Different types of variants for several species: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short nucleotide insertions and/or deletions, and longer variants classified as structural variants (including CNVs). Effects of variants on the Ensembl transcripts and regulatory features for each species are predicted. You can run same analysis on your own data using Variant Effect Predictor. These data are integrated with other data sources in Ensembl, and can be accessed using the API or website. For several different species in Ensembl, they import variation data (SNPs, CNVs, allele frequencies, genotypes, etc) from a variety of sources (e.g. dbSNP). Imported variants and alleles are subjected to quality control process to flag suspect data. In human, they calculate linkage disequilibrium for each variant, by population.

http://ancora.genereg.net/

Web resource that provides data and tools for exploring genomic organization of highly conserved noncoding elements (HCNEs) for multiple genomes. It includes a genome browser that shows HCNE locations and features novel HCNE density plots as a powerful tool to discover developmental regulatory genes and distinguish their regulatory elements and domains. They identify HCNEs as non-exonic regions of high similarity between genome sequences from distantly related organisms, such as human and fish, and provide tools for studying the distribution of HCNEs along chromosomes. Major peaks of HCNE density along chromosomes most often coincide with developmental regulatory genes. Their aim with this site is to aid discovery of developmental regulatory genes, their regulatory domains and their fundamental regulatory elements.
