VAAST (RRID:SCR_002179) | VAAST, VAAST 2 | data analysis software, data processing software, sequence analysis software, software application, software resource, standalone software | A probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST combines elements of phylogenetic conservation, amino acid substitution, and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization into a single unified likelihood-framework that allows users to accurately identify damaged genes and deleterious variants. The software can score both coding (SNV, indel and splice site) and non-coding variants (SNV), evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. It can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases and can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases. | sequence analysis software, genetic, variant classifier, amino acid substitution, disease, genome interpretation, variant prioritization, disease gene prioritization, genomic variation, bio.tools |

PoPoolation Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
PoPoolation (RRID:SCR_003495) | PoPoolation | software resource | A collection of tools to facilitate population genetic studies of next generation sequencing data from pooled individuals. It builds upon open source tools (bwa, samtools) and uses standard file formats (gtf, sam, pileup) to ensure a wide compatibility. PoPoolation allows to calculate Tajima's Pi, Watterson's Theta and Tajima's D for reference sequences using a sliding window approach. Alternatively these population genetic estimators may be calculated for a set of genes (provided as gtf). One of the main challenges in population genomics is to identify regions of intererest on a genome wide scale. PoPoolation will greatly aid this task by allowing a fast and user friendly analysis of NGS data from DNA pools. | population genetics, next generation sequencing, sliding window, genome, bio.tools |
