http://droog.gs.washington.edu/polyphred/

Software program that compares fluorescence-based sequences across traces obtained from different individuals to identify heterozygous sites for single nucleotide substitutions. Its functions are integrated with the use of three other programs: Phred (Brent Ewing and Phil Green), Phrap (Phil Green), and Consed (David Gordon and Phil Green). PolyPhred identifies potential heterozygotes using the base calls and peak information provided by Phred and the sequence alignments provided by Phrap. Potential heterozygotes identified by PolyPhred are marked for rapid inspection using the Consed tool.

http://www.broadinstitute.org/science/programs/genome-biology/computational-rd/somaticcall-manual

Software program that finds single-base differences (substitutions) between sequence data from tumor and matched normal samples. It is designed to be highly stringent, so as to achieve a low false positive rate. It takes as input a BAM file for each sample, and produces as output a list of differences (somatic mutations). Note: This software package is no longer supported and information on this page is provided for archival purposes only.

http://www.bioinformatics.org/peakanalyzer/wiki/

A set of standalone software programs for the automated processing of any genomic loci, with an emphasis on datasets consisting of ChIP-derived signal peaks. The software is able to identify individual binding / modification sites from enrichment loci, retrieve peak region sequences for motif discovery, and integrate experimental data with different classes of annotated elements throughout the genome. PeakAnalyzer requires a peak file and a feature annotation file in BED or GTF format. Complete annotation files for the current builds of the human (HG19) and mouse (MM9) genomes are provided with the software distribution.

http://sfld.rbvi.ucsf.edu/

A database of hierarchical classification of enzymes that relates specific sequence-structure features to specific chemical capabilities. The SFLD classifies evolutionarily related enzymes according to shared chemical functions and maps these shared functions to conserved active site features. The classification is hierarchical, where broader levels encompass more distantly related proteins with fewer shared features. It thus serves as the analysis and archive site for superfamilies targeted by the Enzyme Function Initiative, and is developed by the Babbitt Laboratory in collaboration with the UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics. The resource also provides a collection of tools and data for investigating sequence-structure-function relationships and hypothesizing function.

http://sequenceontology.org/

A collaborative ontology for the definition of sequence features used in biological sequence annotation. SO was initially developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. Contributors to SO include the GMOD community, model organism database groups such as WormBase, FlyBase, Mouse Genome Informatics group, and institutes such as the Sanger Institute and the EBI. Input to SO is welcomed from the sequence annotation community. The OBO revision is available here: http://sourceforge.net/p/song/svn/HEAD/tree/ SO includes different kinds of features which can be located on the sequence. Biological features are those which are defined by their disposition to be involved in a biological process. Biomaterial features are those which are intended for use in an experiment such as aptamer and PCR_product. There are also experimental features which are the result of an experiment. SO also provides a rich set of attributes to describe these features such as polycistronic and maternally imprinted. The Sequence Ontologies use the OBO flat file format specification version 1.2, developed by the Gene Ontology Consortium. The ontology is also available in OWL from Open Biomedical Ontologies. This is updated nightly and may be slightly out of sync with the current obo file. An OWL version of the ontology is also available. The resolvable URI for the current version of SO is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/so.owl.

http://metagenomics.atc.tcs.com/binning/DiScRIBinATE/

Software for accurate taxonomic classification of metagenomic sequences using a similarity based binning method. User needs to perform a similarity search of the input metagenomic sequences (reads) against the nr protein database using BLASTx search. The generated blastx output is then taken as the input by the DiScRIBinATE program.

http://metaphyler.cbcb.umd.edu/

A taxonomic classifier for metagenomic shotgun reads, which uses phylogenetic marker genes as a taxonomic reference. The classifier, based on BLAST, uses different thresholds (automatically learned from the reference database) for each combination of taxonomic rank, reference gene, and sequence length. The reference database includes marker genes from all complete genomes, several draft genomes and the NCBI nr protein database.
