SimVascular Resource Report Resource Website 50+ mentions |
SimVascular (RRID:SCR_002686) | simulation software, software application, software resource | Open source software suite for cardiovascular simulation. It includes code for reading 3D images, segmenting structures, generating models and meshes, and modeling blood flow in deformable vessels. The suite also includes tools for physiologic boundary conditions, fluid structure interaction, and an accurate and efficient finite element Navier-Stokes solver. Commercial components have been used in the simulation process, and for these components, the project attempts to provide interfaces that allow substitution of open source components. The SimVascular project is derived from the ASPIRE2 software project and includes modified portions of PHASTA from RPI/SCOREC. | simulation software, fluid dynamics, blood flow, cardiovascular, image-based geometric modeling, image segmentation, mesh generation, vascular, bio.tools |

Database of Secondary Structure Assignments Resource Report Resource Website 50+ mentions |
Database of Secondary Structure Assignments (RRID:SCR_002725) | DSSP | data or information resource, database, software resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Database of secondary structure assignments (and much more) for all protein entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the program that calculates DSSP entries from PDB entries. DSSP is distributed on a basis of trust and instructions are available on the site. * Precompiled executables are also available for Linux and Windows. (The Windows .exe file was compiled under Linux using Mingw32, has never seen a Windows environment and should thus be virus-free. Download the source if you want to be 100% sure.) Under Windows the DSSP output does not make it to the console, so redirect it to a file instead: dsspcmbi source.pdb destination.dssp > messages.txt * Several changes have been made to the DSSP program to solve problems with recent PDB files. These are documented in the source code. * FTP access to the DSSP files resides at the CMBI: ftp.cmbi.kun.nl/pub/molbio/data/dssp or ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/dssp/. If you have problems downloading the DSSP files, it is likely that your FTP program is not able to handle tens of thousands of files in one directory. In this case, install a proper FTP program, for example NCFTP. However, it is recommended that you download DSSP files with the rsync command. | amino acid sequence, hydrogen bonding, protein conformation, proteins, gold standard, bio.tools, FASEB list |

TAPyR Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
TAPyR (RRID:SCR_000588) | software resource | An efficient software tool for the local alignment of pyrosequencing reads produced by the GS FLX (454) Genome Analyzer technology against a reference genome sequence.
