THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 6, 2023. National Center for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) that develops new algorithms, opensource tools, computational infrastructure, and services for biomedical and behavioral researchers nationwide to promote the secure sharing and consuming of biomedical and behavioral resources (software, data, and computing systems) with iDASH collaborators. The center addresses fundamental challenges to research progress by providing a secure, privacypreserving environment in which researchers can analyze genomic, transcriptomic, clinical, behavioral, and social data relevant to health. Three driving biological projects in iDASH (Molecular Phenotyping of Kawasaki Disease, Post-Marketing Surveillance of Hematologic Medications, and Individualized Intervention to Enhance Physical Activity) span the molecular-individualpopulation spectrum, and they will motivate, inform, and support tool development. iDASH will collaborate with other NCBCs and will disseminate tools via annual workshops, presentations at major conferences, and scientific publications.

https://github.com/gt1/biobambam

Software tools for read pair collation based algorithms on BAM files including * bamcollate2: reads BAM and writes BAM reordered such that alignment or collated by query name * bammarkduplicates: reads BAM and writes BAM with duplicate alignments marked using the BAM flags field * bammaskflags: reads BAM and writes BAM while masking (removing) bits from the flags column * bamrecompress: reads BAM and writes BAM with a defined compression setting. This tool is capable of multi-threading. * bamsort: reads BAM and writes BAM resorted by coordinates or query name * bamtofastq: reads BAM and writes FastQ; output can be collated or uncollated by query name

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/cbuccaneer.html

Software which performs statistical chain tracing by identifying connected alpha-carbon positions using a likelihood-based density target. The target distributions are generated by a simulation calculation using a known reference structure for which calculated phases are available. The success of the method is dependent on the features of the reference structure matching those of the unsolved work structure. For almost all cases, a single reference structure can be used, with modifications automatically applied to the reference structure to match its features to the work structure.

http://www.matrixscience.com/server.html

A software package and server used to identify and characterize proteins from primary sequence databases using mass spectrometry data. Mascot integrates peptide mass fingerprinting, sequence querying, and MS/MS ion searching in order to search for proteins in databases like SwissProt, NCBInr, EMBL EST divisions, contaminants, and cRAP. If a license is purchased, users may: search data sets that exceed the 1200 spectrum limit of the free version; set up automated, high throughput work; add and edit proteins and quantification methods; and search a preferred collection of sequence databases. The software package works with instruments from AB Sciex, Agilent, Bruker, Jeol, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and Waters.
