Sequenced genomes contain a treasure trove of information about how genes function and evolve. Getting at this information, however, is challenging and requires novel approaches that combine computer science and experimental molecular biology. My lab works at the intersection of both domains, and research in our group can be summarized as follows: generate hypotheses concerning gene function and evolution by computational means, and then test these hypotheses at the bench. This is easier said than done, as serious barriers still exist to using sequenced genomes and their annotations as starting points for experimental work. Some of these barriers lie in the computational domain, others in the experimental. Though challenging, overcoming these barriers offers exciting training opportunities in both computer science and molecular genetics, especially for those seeking a future at the intersection of both fields. Ongoing projects in the lab are centered on genome annotation and comparative genomics; exploring the relationships between sequence variation and human disease; and high-throughput biological image analysis. Current software tools available: VAAST (the Variant Annotation, Analysis & Search Tool) is a probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST builds upon existing amino acid substitution (AAS) and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization, combining elements of both into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to identify damaged genes and deleterious variants with greater accuracy, and in an easy-to-use fashion. VAAST can score both coding and non-coding variants, evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. VAAST can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases, and it can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases. VAAST thus has a much greater scope of use than any existing methodology. MAKER 2 (updated 01-16-2012) MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline. It's purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomeprojects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER 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. MAKER is also easily trainable: outputs of preliminary runs can be used to automatically retrain its gene prediction algorithm, producing higher quality gene-models on seusequent runs. MAKER's inputs are minimal and its ouputs can be directly loaded into a GMOD database. They can also be viewed in the Apollo genome browser; this feature of MAKER provides an easy means to annotate, view and edit individual contigs and BACs without the overhead of a database. MAKER should prove especially useful for emerging model organism projects with minimal bioinformatics expertise and computer resources. RepeatRunner RepeatRunner is a CGL-based program that integrates RepeatMasker with BLASTX to provide a comprehensive means of identifying repetitive elements. Because RepeatMasker identifies repeats by means of similarity to a nucleotide library of known repeats, it often fails to identify highly divergent repeats and divergent portions of repeats, especially near repeat edges. To remedy this problem, RepeatRunner uses BLASTX to search a database of repeat encoded proteins (reverse transcriptases, gag, env, etc...). Because protein homologies can be detected across larger phylogenetic distances than nucleotide similarities, this BLASTX search allows RepeatRunner to identify divergent protein coding portions of retro-elements and retro-viruses not detected by RepeatMasker. RepeatRunner merges its BLASTX and RepeatMasker results to produce a single, comprehensive XML-based output. It also masks the input sequence appropriately. In practice RepeatRunner has been shown to greatly improve the efficacy of repeat identifcation. RepeatRunner can also be used in conjunction with PILER-DF - a program designed to identify novel repeats - and RepeatMasker to produce a comprehensive system for repeat identification, characterization, and masking in the newly sequenced genomes. CGL CGL is a software library designed to facilitate the use of genome annotations as substrates for computation and experimentation; we call it CGL, an acronym for Comparitive Genomics Library, and pronounce it Seagull. The purpose of CGL is to provide an informatics infrastructure for a laboratory, department, or research institute engaged in the large-scale analysis of genomes and their annotations.

http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr/

A web-based gene list enrichment analysis tool that provides various types of visualization summaries of collective functions of gene lists. It includes new gene-set libraries, an alternative approach to rank enriched terms, and various interactive visualization approaches to display enrichment results using the JavaScript library, Data Driven Documents (D3). The software can also be embedded into any tool that performs gene list analysis. System-wide profiling of genes and proteins in mammalian cells produce lists of differentially expressed genes / proteins that need to be further analyzed for their collective functions in order to extract new knowledge. Once unbiased lists of genes or proteins are generated from such experiments, these lists are used as input for computing enrichment with existing lists created from prior knowledge organized into gene-set libraries.

Data and biological samples were collected by this consortium organizing international efforts to identify genes that determine an individual risk of type 1 diabetes. It originally focused on recruiting families with at least two siblings (brothers and/or sisters) who have type 1 diabetes (affected sibling pair or ASP families). The T1DGC completed enrollment for these families in August 2009. They completed enrollment of trios (father, mother, and a child with type 1 diabetes), as well as cases (people with type 1 diabetes) and controls (people with no history of type 1 diabetes) from populations with a low prevalence of this disease in January 2010. T1DGC Data and Samples: Phenotypic and genotypic data as well as biological samples (DNA, serum and plasma) for T1DGC participants have been deposited in the NIDDKCentral Repositories for future research.
