ABSOLUTE Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
ABSOLUTE (RRID:SCR_005198) | ABSOLUTE | software resource | Software to estimate purity / ploidy, and from that compute absolute copy-number and mutation multiplicities. When DNA is extracted from an admixed population of cancer and normal cells, the information on absolute copy number per cancer cell is lost in the mixing. The purpose of ABSOLUTE is to re-extract these data from the mixed DNA population. This process begins by generation of segmented copy number data, which is input to the ABSOLUTE algorithm together with pre-computed models of recurrent cancer karyotypes and, optionally, allelic fraction values for somatic point mutations. The output of ABSOLUTE then provides re-extracted information on the absolute cellular copy number of local DNA segments and, for point mutations, the number of mutated alleles. |

VARIANT (RRID:SCR_005194) | VARIANT | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data analysis software, data processing software, production service resource, service resource, software application, software resource | Analysis tool that can report the functional properties of any variant in all the human, mouse or rat genes (and soon new model organisms will be added) and the corresponding neighborhoods. Also other non-coding extra-genic regions, such as miRNAs are included in the analysis. It not only reports the obvious functional effects in the coding regions but also analyzes noncoding SNVs situated both within the gene and in the neighborhood that could affect different regulatory motifs, splicing signals, and other structural elements. These include: Jaspar regulatory motifs, miRNA targets, splice sites, exonic splicing silencers, calculations of selective pressures on the particular polymorphic positions, etc. Software analysis pipelines used in the analysis of NGS data are highly modular, heterogeneous, and rapidly evolving. VARIANT can easily be incorporated into a NGS resequencing pipeline either as a CLI or invoked a webservice. It inputs data directly from the most widely used programs for SNV detection., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Variant sites are characterized with respect to their functional type (Silent, Replacement, 5' UTR, 3' UTR, Intronic, Intergenic), whether they have been previously submitted to dbSNP, and their evolutionary conservation. Annotated variants can be viewed directly on the web browser, downloaded in a tab delimited text file, or directly uploaded in a Browser Extended Data (BED) format to the UCSC genome browser. SeqAnt further identifies all loci harboring two or more coding sequence variants that help investigators identify potential compound heterozygous loci within exome sequencing experiments.

These comparisons allow, for example, SNPs to be sorted or filtered based on how drastically the SNP changes the score of a protein alignment. Other fields indicate the names of overlapping protein domains or features, and the conservation of both the SNP site and flanking regions. NCBI, Ensembl, and Uniprot IDs are provided for genes, transcripts, and proteins when applicable, along with Gene Ontology terms, a gene description, phenotypes linked to the gene, and an indication of whether the SNP is novel or known.
