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.

Clippers Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Clippers (RRID:SCR_005256) | Clippers | software resource | A software program designed to identify long deletions of a genome as well as the RNA splicings using long Illumina reads. Currently, Clippers is implemented for long reads Illumina, ex: 75bp or 100bp, allowing mismatches and a single deletion/splicing. Clippers is a sister tool of PerM, our short reads aligner. Users are strongly suggested to use PerM to initially mapped reads and identify the deletion/splicing with the initially unmapped reads. We plan to extend it to ABI SOLiD reads in the near future. Clippers outputs gap-alignments in SAM format. You can use SAMtools or other program to interpret the deletion/splicing. The input files are a reference in fasta format and the reads is in fasta or fastq format. | long deletion, genome, rna splicing, illumina, deletion |

SkateBase Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
SkateBase (RRID:SCR_005302) | SkateBase | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | Portal supporting the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative''s project to sequence the genome of the Little Skate. Provided is a clearinghouse for Little Skate Genome Project and other publicly available Skate and Ray (Batoidea) genome data, and tools for data visualization and analysis. Little Skate Genome Project The little skate (Leucoraja erinacea) is a chondrichthyan (cartilaginous) fish native to the east coast of North America. Elasmobranchs (Skates, Rays, and Sharks) exhibit many fundamental vertebrate characteristics, including a neural crest, jaws and teeth, an adaptive immune system, and a pressurized circulatory system. These characteristics have been exploited to promote understanding about human physiology, immunology, stem cell biology, toxicology, neurobiology and regeneration. The development of standardized experimental protocols in elasmobranchs such as L. erinacea and the spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) has further positioned these organisms as important biomedical and developmental models. Despite this distinction, the only reported chondrichthyan genome is the low coverage (1.4x) draft genome of the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). To close the evolutionary gaps in available elasmobranch genome sequence data, and generate critical genomic resources for future biomedical study, the genome of L. erinacea is being sequenced by the North East Bioinformatics Collaborative (NEBC). As close evolutionary relatives, the little skate sequence will facilitate studies that employ dogfish shark and other elasmobranchs as model organisms. Skate tools include the SkateBLAST and the Skate Genome Browsers: Little Skate Mitochondrion, Thorny Skate Mitochondrion, and Ocellate Spot Skate Mitochondrion. | little skate, leucoraja erinacea, sequence, genome, mitochondrion, thorny skate, ocellate spot skate, FASEB list |

Gene Wiki Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Gene Wiki (RRID:SCR_005317) | Gene Wiki | data or information resource, narrative resource, wiki | The Gene Wiki is a project that facilitates transferring information on human genes to Wikipedia article stubs with the goal of promoting collaboration and expansion of the articles. Number of gene articles The human genome contains an estimated 20,00025,000 protein-coding genes. The goal of the Gene Wiki project is to create seed articles for every notable human gene, that is, every gene whose function has been assigned in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Approximately half of human genes have assigned function, therefore the total number of articles seeded by the Gene Wiki project would be expected to be in the range of 10,000 - 15,000. To date, approximately 10,271 articles have been created or augmented to include Gene Wiki project content. Expansion Once seed articles have been established, the hope and expectation is that these will be annotated and expanded by editors ranging in experience from the lay audience to students to professionals and academics. Proteins encoded by genes The majority of genes encode proteins hence understanding the function of a gene generally requires understanding of the function of the corresponding protein. In addition to including basic information about the gene, the project therefore also includes information about the protein encoded by the gene. Stubs for the Gene Wiki project are created by a bot and contain links to the following primary gene/protein databases * HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee official gene name * Entrez Gene database * OMIM (Mendelian Inheritance in Man) database that catalogues all the known diseases with a genetic component * Amigo Gene Ontology * HomoloGene gene homologs in other species * SymAtlasRNA gene expression pattern in tissues * Protein Data Bank 3D structure of protein encoded by the gene * Uniprot (universal protein resource) a central repository of protein data | gene, genome, human, annotation | has parent organization: Wikipedia | PMID:18613750 | nlx_144371 | SCR_005317 | GeneWiki | 2026-09-05 06:25:33 | 3 | |||||||

GNUMAP Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
GNUMAP (RRID:SCR_005482) | GNUMAP | software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. A software program designed to accurately map sequence data obtained from next-generation sequencing machines (specifically that of Solexa/Illumina) back to a genome of any size. By using the posterior probability of mapping a given read to a specific genomic loation, we are able to account for repetitive reads by distributing them across several regions in the genome. In addition, the output of the program is created in such a way that it can be easily viewed through other free and readily- available programs. Several benchmark data sets were created with spiked-in duplicate regions, and GNUMAP was able to more accurately account for these duplicate regions. | next-generation sequencing, genome, bio.tools |

Besides visualization functionalities, it also provides a general framework to process genome-scale alignments using various existing alignment programs. CGAT employs a client-server architecture, which consists of AlignmentViewer (client; a Java application) and DataServer (a set of Perl scripts). The DataServer package contains data construction scripts and CGI scripts and the AlignmentViewer program visualizes the alignment data obtained from the server thorough the HTTP protocol. | genome, alignment, visualizing, evolution, dotplot |
