SimRare Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
SimRare (RRID:SCR_005226) | SimRare | software resource | A stand-alone executable software with user-friendly graphical interface implemented in Python/C++ for rare variant association studies. It is designed as a unified simulation framework to provide an unbiased and easy manner to evaluate association methods, including novel methods, under a broad range of choice of biological contexts. It consists of three modules, variant data simulator, genotype/phenotype generator and association method evaluator. SimRare generates variant data for gene regions using forward-time simulation which incorporates realistic population demographic and evolutionary scenarios. For phenotype data it is capable of generating both case-control and quantitative traits. The phenotypic effects of variants can be detrimental, protective or non-causal. SimRare has a graphical user interface which allows for easy entry of genetic and phenotypic parameters. Simulated data can be written into external files in a standard format. For novel association method implemented in R it can be imported into SimRare, which has been equipped built in functions to evaluate performance of new method and visually compare it with currently available ones in an unbiased manner. | statistical genetics, simulation framework, gui, association test, sequencing, rare variant, python, c++, bio.tools |

Search RatMine by entering names, identifiers, or keywords for genes, proteins, pathways, papers, etc. Additionally, we support programmatic access to our data through Application Programming Interface - choose from Perl or Java API. RatMine is a data warehouse that integrates many diverse biological data sets. The main focus is R. norvegicus genomics and proteomics. By integrating such data into one place it is possible to construct queries across domains of biological knowledge. The RatMine user interface is designed to go beyond simply looking up an identifier and viewing a report page. Some of the features include: * Quick Search is available just like on other sites, type in an identifier to see a report page. * Template queries are ''canned'' queries that provide a simple form to perform a specific task. You can create your own templates if you log in. * Lists lets you operate on whole lists of data at once. You can upload lists or save them from results tables. We also create useful public lists for everyone to use. * MyMine lets you create an account to save your own queries, bags and templates, as well as marking public templates as favorites. | disease, interaction, proteins, single nucleotide, gene ontology, mammalian phenotype, publication, genomics, pathway, quantitative trait loci, bio.tools |
