Eukaryotic Linear Motif (RRID:SCR_003085) | ELM | analysis service resource, data analysis service, data or information resource, database, production service resource, service resource | Computational biology resource for investigating candidate functional sites in eukarytic proteins. Functional sites which fit to the description linear motif are currently specified as patterns using Regular Expression rules. To improve the predictive power, context-based rules and logical filters are being developed and applied to reduce the amount of false positives. The current version of the ELM server provides core functionality including filtering by cell compartment, phylogeny, globular domain clash (using the SMART/Pfam databases) and structure. In addition, both the known ELM instances and any positionally conserved matches in sequences similar to ELM instance sequences are identified and displayed (see ELM instance mapper). Although the ELM resource contains a large collection of functional site motifs, the current set of motifs is not exhaustive. | linear motif, regulatory protein, motif, protein sequence, functional site, prediction, disease, virus, cell compartment, phylogeny, globular domain clash, structure, protein, bio.tools, FASEB list |

bwtool Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
bwtool (RRID:SCR_003035) | software resource | A command-line utility for bigWig files designed to read bigWig files rapidly and efficiently, providing functionality for extracting data and summarizing it in several ways, globally or at specific regions. Its functionality is subdivided into subprograms that roughly fall into three categories: data extraction, analysis, and data modification, although e.g. in the case of the matrix program or the sax program, the boundary between data extraction and analysis isn't very strong. The data modification programs all have the behavior that a bigWig is inputted and a new bigWig is outputted. | standalone software, unix/linux, bio.tools |

It is organized into individual files containing their general features (name, size, origin, family.....) as well as their DNA and potential protein sequences. Although most of the entries have been identified as individual elements, a growing number are included from their description in sequenced bacterial genomes. The search engine permits the retrieval and display of individual and groups of ISs based on a combination of their general features. Two levels of search are available. The simple search option enables the user to sort elements using a limited number of basic items whereas the extensive search offers an additional set of possibilities such as comparisons of the sequences of terminal inverted repeats and a variety of different layout displays. Built in links are provided to: the EMBL sequence database, the NCBI taxonomy database and to the ESF plasmid database. At present, only individual sequences can be downloaded one by one for comparison. An on-line BLAST facility is available and in future versions direct access to additional analytical tools will be provided on line. Direct submission of ISs is encouraged using the on-line form provided. | insertion sequence, insertion, sequence, blast, dna, protein sequence, bio.tools, FASEB list |

BioPerl Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
BioPerl (RRID:SCR_002989) | BioPerl | data or information resource, narrative resource, software repository, software resource, software toolkit, source code, wiki | BioPerl is a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. This toolkit of perl modules is useful in building bioinformatics solutions in Perl. It is built in an object-oriented manner so that many modules depend on each other to achieve a task. The collection of modules in the bioperl-live repository consist of the core of the functionality of bioperl. Additionally auxiliary modules for creating graphical interfaces (bioperl-gui), persistent storage in RDMBS (bioperl-db), running and parsing the results from hundreds of bioinformatics applications (Run package), software to automate bioinformatic analyses (bioperl-pipeline) are all available as Git modules in our repository. The BioPerl toolkit provides a library of hundreds of routines for processing sequence, annotation, alignment, and sequence analysis reports. It often serves as a bridge between different computational biology applications assisting the user to construct analysis pipelines. This chapter illustrates how BioPerl facilitates tasks such as writing scripts summarizing information from BLAST reports or extracting key annotation details from a GenBank sequence record. BioPerl includes modules written by Sohel Merchant of the GO Consortium for parsing and manipulating OBO ontologies.
