PennCNV Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
PennCNV (RRID:SCR_002518) | PennCNV | software resource | A free software tool for Copy Number Variation (CNV) detection from SNP genotyping arrays. Currently it can handle signal intensity data from Illumina and Affymetrix arrays. With appropriate preparation of file format, it can also handle other types of SNP arrays and oligonucleotide arrays. PennCNV implements a hidden Markov model (HMM) that integrates multiple sources of information to infer CNV calls for individual genotyped samples. It differs form segmentation-based algorithm in that it considered SNP allelic ratio distribution as well as other factors, in addition to signal intensity alone. In addition, PennCNV can optionally utilize family information to generate family-based CNV calls by several different algorithms. Furthermore, PennCNV can generate CNV calls given a specific set of candidate CNV regions, through a validation-calling algorithm. | imaging genomics, copy number variation, snp, genotyping array, array, oligonucleotide, hidden markov model, genotype, genome |

MetaQC Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
MetaQC (RRID:SCR_006000) | software resource | Software for quality control and diagnosis for microarray meta-analysis. Quantitative quality control measures include: (1) internal homogeneity of co-expression structure among studies (internal quality control; IQC); (2) external consistency of co-expression structure correlating with pathway database (external quality control; EQC); (3) accuracy of differentially expressed gene detection (accuracy quality control; AQCg) or pathway identification (AQCp); (4) consistency of differential expression ranking in genes (consistency quality control; CQCg) or pathways (CQCp). For each quality control index, the p-values from statistical hypothesis testing are minus log transformed and PCA biplots were applied to assist visualization and decision. Results generate systematic suggestions to exclude problematic studies in microarray meta-analysis and potentially can be extended to GWAS or other types of genomic meta-analysis. The identified problematic studies can be scrutinized to identify technical and biological causes (e.g. sample size, platform, tissue collection, preprocessing etc) of their bad quality or irreproducibility for final inclusion / exclusion decision. | standalone software, mac os x, unix/linux, windows, r, FASEB list |

OMPdb (RRID:SCR_006221) | OMPdb | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | A database of Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins from Gram-negative bacteria. The web interface of OMPdb offers the user the ability not only to view the available data, but also to submit advanced queries for text search within the database''s protein entries or run BLAST searches against the database. The most up-to-date version of the database (as well as all past versions) can be downloaded in various formats (flat text, XML format or raw FASTA sequences). For constructing OMPdb, multiple freely accessible resources were combined and a detailed literature search was performed. The classification of OMPdb''s protein entries into families is based mainly on structural and functional criteria. Information included in the database consists of sequence data, as well as annotation for structural characteristics (such as the transmembrane segments), literature references and links to other public databases, features that are unique worldwide. Along with the database, a collection of profile Hidden Markov Models that were shown to be characteristic for Beta-barrel outer membrane proteins was also compiled. This set, when used in combination with our previously developed algorithms (PRED-TMBB, MCMBB and ConBBPRED) will serve as a powerful tool in matters of discrimination and classification of novel Beta-barrel proteins and whole-genome analyses., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

estMOI (RRID:SCR_006192) | estMOI | software resource | A per-based software to estimate multiplicity of infection (MOI) in parasite genomic sequence data. It is primarily developed to address the limitations of current laboratory (PCR) based estimates of multiplicity using high throughput sequence data.
