http://bix.ucsd.edu/projects/singlecell/

Software package for short read data from single cells that improves assembly through use of progressively increasing coverage cutoff. Used for single cell Illumina sequences, allows variable coverage datasets to be utilized with assembly of E. coli and S. aureus single cell reads. Assembles single cell genome of uncultivated SAR324 clade of Deltaproteobacteria.

http://phast.wishartlab.com/

A web server designed to rapidly and accurately identify, annotate and graphically display prophage sequences within bacterial genomes or plasmids. It accepts either raw DNA sequence data or partially annotated GenBank formatted data and rapidly performs a number of database comparisons as well as phage cornerstone feature identification steps to locate, annotate and display prophage sequences and prophage features. Relative to other prophage identification tools, PHAST is up to 40 times faster and up to 15% more sensitive. It is also able to process and annotate both raw DNA sequence data and Genbank files, provide richly annotated tables on prophage features and prophage quality and distinguish between intact and incomplete prophage. PHAST also generates downloadable, high quality, interactive graphics that display all identified prophage components in both circular and linear genomic views. Databases available for download include Virus DB, Prophage and virus DB, Bacteria DB, and PHAST result DB. Pre-calculated genomes for viewing are also available.

http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/

Portal providing access to all JGI genomic databases and analytical tools, sequencing projects and their status, search for and download assemblies and annotations of sequenced genomes, and interactively explore those genomes and compare them with other sequenced microbes, fungi, plants or metagenomes using specialized systems tailored to each particular class of organisms. The Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a national user facility with massive-scale DNA sequencing and analysis capabilities dedicated to advancing genomics for bioenergy and environmental applications. Beyond generating tens of trillions of DNA bases annually, the Institute develops and maintains data management systems and specialized analytical capabilities to manage and interpret complex genomic data sets, and to enable an expanding community of users around the world to analyze these data in different contexts over the web.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-LIPO/

A web tool using the Hidden Markov Model method for the prediction of lipoprotein signal peptides of Gram-positive bacteria, trained on a set of 67 experimentally verified lipoproteins. The method outperforms LipoP and the methods based on regular expression patterns, in various data sets containing experimentally characterized lipoproteins, secretory proteins, proteins with an N-terminal TM segment and cytoplasmic proteins. The method is also very sensitive and specific in the detection of secretory signal peptides and in terms of overall accuracy outperforms even SignalP, which is the top-scoring method for the prediction of signal peptides.

http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/BacMap

An interactive visual database containing hundreds of fully labeled, zoomable, and searchable maps of bacterial genomes. It uses a visualization tool (CGView) to generate high-resolution circular genome maps from sequence feature information. Each map includes an interface that allows the image to be expanded and rotated. In the default view, identified genes are drawn to scale and colored according to coding directions. When a region of interest is expanded, gene labels are displayed. Each label is hyperlinked to a custom ''gene card'' which provides several fields of information concerning the corresponding DNA and protein sequences. Each genome map is searchable via a local BLAST search and a gene name/synonym search. A complete listing of the species and strains in the BacMap database is available on the BacMap homepage. Below each species/strain name is a list of the sequenced chromosomes and plasmids that are available. Some features of BacMap include: * Maps are available for 2023 bacterial chromosomes. * Each map supports zooming and rotation. * Map gene labels are hyperlinked to detailed textual annotations. * Maps can be explored manually, or with the help of BacMap''s built in text search and BLAST search. * A written synopsis of each bacterial species is provided. * Several charts illustrating the proteomic and genomic characteristics of each chromosome are available. * Flat file versions of the BacMap gene annotations, gene sequences and protein sequences can be downloaded. BacMap can be used to: * Obtain basic genome statistics. * Visualize the genomic context of genes. * Search for orthologues and paralogues in a genome of interest. * Search for conserved operon structure. * Look for gene content differences between bacterial species. * Obtain pre-calculated annotations for bacterial genes of interest.
