Primer-BLAST (RRID:SCR_003095) | Primer-BLAST | data analysis service, production service resource, analysis service resource, service resource | A tool to design target-specific primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It uses Primer3 to design PCR primers and then uses BLAST and global alignment algorithm to screen primers against user-selected database in order to avoid primer pairs (all combinations including forward-reverse primer pair, forward-forward as well as reverse-reverse pairs) that can cause non-specific amplifications. | primer, blast, pcr target, polymerase chain reaction, primer design |

mitopred Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
mitopred (RRID:SCR_006135) | MITOPRED | data analysis service, production service resource, analysis service resource, service resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. It predicts nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins from all eukaryotic species including plants. Prediction is based on the occurrence patterns of Pfam domains (version 16.0) in different cellular locations, amino acid composition and pI value differences between mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial locations. Additionally, you may download MITOPRED predictions for complete proteomes. Re-calculated predictions are instantly accessible for proteomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Arabidopsis species as well as all the eukaryotic sequences in the Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL databases. Queries, at different confidence levels, can be made through four distinct options: (i) entering Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession numbers; (ii) uploading a local file with such accession numbers; (iii) entering protein sequences; (iv) uploading a local file containing protein sequences in FASTA format. The Mitopred algorithm works based on the differences in the Pfam domain occurrence patters and amino acid composition differences in different cellular compartments. Location specific Pfam domains have been determined from the entire eukaryotic set of Swissprot database. Similarly, differences in the amino acid composition between mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial sequences were pre-calculated. This information is used to calculate location-specific amino acid weights that are used to calculate amino acid score. Similarly, pI average values of the N-terminal 25 residues in different cellular location were also determined. This knowledge-base is accessed by the program during execution. | yeast, c. elegans, drosophila, mouse, human, arabidopsis, bio.tools |

ART Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
ART (RRID:SCR_006538) | ART | software resource | A set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. ART supports simulation of single-end, paired-end/mate-pair reads of three major commercial next-generation sequencing platforms: Illumina''''s Solexa, Roche''''s 454 and Applied Biosystems'''' SOLiD. ART can be used to test or benchmark a variety of method or tools for next-generation sequencing data analysis, including read alignment, de novo assembly, SNP and structure variation discovery. ART is implemented in C++ with optimized algorithms and is highly efficient in read simulation. ART outputs reads in the FASTQ format, and alignments in the ALN format. ART can also generate alignments in the SAM alignment or UCSC BED file format. | next-generation sequencing |
