https://code.google.com/p/simrare/

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.

http://phast.wishartlab.com/

A web server designed to rapidly and accurately identify, annotate and graphically display prophage sequences within bacterial genomes or plasmids. It accepts either raw DNA sequence data or partially annotated GenBank formatted data and rapidly performs a number of database comparisons as well as phage cornerstone feature identification steps to locate, annotate and display prophage sequences and prophage features. Relative to other prophage identification tools, PHAST is up to 40 times faster and up to 15% more sensitive. It is also able to process and annotate both raw DNA sequence data and Genbank files, provide richly annotated tables on prophage features and prophage quality and distinguish between intact and incomplete prophage. PHAST also generates downloadable, high quality, interactive graphics that display all identified prophage components in both circular and linear genomic views. Databases available for download include Virus DB, Prophage and virus DB, Bacteria DB, and PHAST result DB. Pre-calculated genomes for viewing are also available.

http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~polishka/

A command line software tool for accurate placing of the nucleosomes using a Modified Gaussian Mixture Model. It was designed to resolve overlapping nucleosomes and extract extra information (fuzziness, probability, etc.) of nucleosome placement. To achieve this goal the tool clusters the input tags according to Nucleosome Model (see the paper for detailed description) using EM learning process. The tool is written in C++. There are no special requirements except for g++ compiler and *nix environment to compile and use the tool. It was checked to compile using g++ compiler under Ubuntu 11.04 and Mac OS X 10.6

http://kmersvm.beerlab.org/

A webserver built on the Galaxy framework that enables the mining of sequence data for transcription factor binding sites. This tool suite was designed to aid in analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data that uses a support vector machine (SVM) with kmer sequence features to identify predictive combinations of short transcription factor binding sites which determine the tissue specificity of the original NGS assay. While you may use datasets already available from Galaxy, you can upload your data using the ''Get Data'' Tool. The tool can upload data from a variety of locations.
