A cross-platform software program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. We include a simple to use user-interface program for setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing the results.

http://pathema.jcvi.org/Pathema/index.html

Pathema is one of the eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers designed to serve as a core resource for the bio-defense and infectious disease research community. Pathema strives to support basic research and accelerate scientific progress for understanding, detecting, diagnosing and treating an established set of six target NIAID Category A-C pathogens: Category A priority pathogens; Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium botulinum, and Category B priority pathogens; Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Clostridium perfringens and Entamoeba histolytica. Each target pathogen is represented in one of four distinct clade-specific Pathema web resources and underlying databases developed to target the specific data and analysis needs of each scientific community. All publicly available complete genome projects of phylogenetically related organisms are also represented, providing a comprehensive collection of organisms for comparative analyses. Pathema facilitates the scientific exploration of genomic and related data through its integration with web-based analysis tools, customized to obtain, display, and compute results relevant to ongoing pathogen research. Pathema serves the bio-defense and infectious disease research community by disseminating data resulting from pathogen genome sequencing projects and providing access to the results of inter-genomic comparisons for these organisms. The Pathema BRC contract ends in December 2009. At that time JCVI will cease maintenance of the Pathema web resource and data. The PATRIC team, located at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, created and maintains a consolidated BRC for all of the NIAID category A-C priority pathogenic bacteria. The EuPathDB team at the University of Pennsylvania will support all eukaryotic pathogens. Pathema transferred all data and software to PATRIC and EuPathDB for incorporation into their new Web-based bioinformatics resource.

Software providing de novo, parallel, paired-end sequence assembler that is designed for short reads. ABySS 1.0 originally showed that assembling human genome using short 50 bp sequencing reads was possible by aggregating half terabyte of compute memory needed over several computers using standardized message passing system. ABySS 2.0 is Resource Efficient Assembly of Large Genomes using Bloom Filter. ABySS 2.0 departs from MPI and instead implements algorithms that employ Bloom filter, probabilistic data structure, to represent de Bruijn graph and reduce memory requirements.

Griffin (G-protein-receptor interacting feature finding instrument) is a high-throughput system to predict GPCR - G-protein coupling selectively with the input of GPCR sequence and ligand molecular weight. This system consists of two parts: 1) HMM section using family specific multiple alignment of GPCRs, 2) SVM section using physico-chemical feature vectors in GPCR sequence. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), which is composed of seven transmembrane helices, play a role as interface of signal transduction. The external stimulation for GPCR, induce the coupling with G-protein (Gi/o, Gq/11, Gs, G12/13) followed by different kinds of signal transduction to inner cell. About half of distributed drugs are intending to control this GPCR - G-protein binding system, and therefore this system is important research target for the development of effective drug. For this purpose, it is necessary to monitor, effectively and comprehensively, of the activation of G-protein by identifying ligand combined with GPCR. Since, at present, it is difficult to construct such biochemical experiment system, if the answers for experimental results can be prepared beforehand by using bioinformatics techniques, large progress is brought to G-protein related drug design. Previous works for predicting GPCR-G protein coupling selectivity are using sequence pattern search, statistical models, and HMM representations showed high sensitivity of predictions. However, there are still no works that can predict with both high sensitivity and specificity. In this work we extracted comprehensively the physico-chemical parameters of each part of ligand, GPCR and G-protein, and choose the parameters which have strong correlation with the coupling selectivity of G-protein. These parameters were put as a feature vector, used for GPCR classification based on SVM.
