http://seqbarracuda.sourceforge.net/
A sequence mapping software that utilizes the massive parallelism of graphics processing units to accelerate the inexact alignment of short sequence reads to a particular location on a reference genome. It can align a paired-end library containing 14 million pairs of 76bp reads to the Human genome in about 27 minutes (from fastq files to SAM alignment) using a ��380 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 680*. The alignment throughput can be boosted further by using multiple GPUs (up to 8) at the same time. Being based on BWA (http://bio-bwa.sf.net) from the Sanger Institute, BarraCUDA delivers a high level of alignment fidelity and is comparable to other mainstream alignment programs. It can perform gapped alignment with gap extensions, in order to minimise the number of false variant calls in re-sequencing studies.

Genetic factors contribute significantly to ASD. AutismKB is an evidence-based knowledgebase of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) genetics. The current version contains 2193 genes (99 syndromic autism related genes and 2135 non-syndromic autism related genes), 4617 Copy Number Variations (CNVs) and 158 linkage regions associated with ASD by one or more of the following six experimental methods: # Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS); # Genome-wide CNV studies; # Linkage analysis; # Low-scale genetic association studies; # Expression profiling; # Other low-scale gene studies. Based on a scoring and ranking system, 99 syndromic autism related genes and 383 non-syndromic autism related genes (434 genes in total) were designated as having high confidence. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence of 1.0-2.6%. The three core symptoms of ASD are: # impairments in reciprocal social interaction; # communication impairments; # presence of restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities.

http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/myrna/index.shtml
A cloud computing tool for calculating differential gene expression in large RNA-seq datasets. It uses Bowtie for short read alignment and R/Bioconductor for interval calculations, normalization, and statistical testing. These tools are combined in an automatic, parallel pipeline that runs in the cloud (Elastic MapReduce in this case) on a local Hadoop cluster, or on a single computer, exploiting multiple computers and CPUs wherever possible.

SAS is a tool for applying structural information to a given protein sequence. It uses FASTA to scan a given protein sequence against all the proteins of known 3D structure in the Protein Data Bank and provides functional residue annotation based on data from the Catalytic Site Atlas and PDBsum. The web service is aimed to facilitate the use of the SAS tool when having a huge number of queries. Currently, the web service provides annotation for binding sites (to ligand, metal or nucleic acid), catalytic residues and amino acids related to protein-protein interactions.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software program for clustering biological sequences with many applications in various fields such as making non-redundant databases, finding duplicates, identifying protein families, filtering sequence errors and improving sequence assembly etc. It is very fast and can handle extremely large databases. CD-HIT helps to significantly reduce the computational and manual efforts in many sequence analysis tasks and aids in understanding the data structure and correct the bias within a dataset. The CD-HIT package has CD-HIT, CD-HIT-2D, CD-HIT-EST, CD-HIT-EST-2D, CD-HIT-454, CD-HIT-PARA, PSI-CD-HIT, CD-HIT-OTU and over a dozen scripts. * CD-HIT (CD-HIT-EST) clusters similar proteins (DNAs) into clusters that meet a user-defined similarity threshold. * CD-HIT-2D (CD-HIT-EST-2D) compares 2 datasets and identifies the sequences in db2 that are similar to db1 above a threshold. * CD-HIT-454 identifies natural and artificial duplicates from pyrosequencing reads. * CD-HIT-OTU cluster rRNA tags into OTUs The usage of other programs and scripts can be found in CD-HIT user''s guide. CD-HIT was originally developed by Dr. Weizhong Li at Dr. Adam Godzik''s Lab at the Burnham Institute (now Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute)., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

This database provides a platform to query and compare gene expression data during the development of the major model animals (zebrafish, drosophila, medaka, mouse). The name 4DXpress stands for expression database in 4D. The 4D (four dimensions) of 4DXpress can be interpreted either as: 3 spatial dimensions plus time, or as 1. species 2. gene 3. developmental stage 4. anatomical structure. The major focus of this database lies in cross species comparison. The high resolution expression data was acquired through whole mount in situ hybridsation-, antibody- or transgenic experiments. Data was integrated from several species specific expression pattern databases, such as ZFIN, BDGP, GXD, MEPD as well as directly submitted by researchers of the participating groups at EMBL. The 4DXpress database is a project within the Centre for Computational Biology at EMBL. It is developed by Yannick Haudry, Thorsten Henrich and Ivica Letunic and coordinated by Thorsten Henrich. Hugo Berube is developing the 4D ArrayExpress Data Warehouse at EBI for integrating in situ data with microarray data.

Database containing the DNA sequence and annotation of the entire human chromosome 7, encompassing nearly 158 million nucleotides of DNA and 1917 gene structures, are presented; the most up to date collation of sequence, gene, and other annotations from all databases (eg. Celera published, NCBI, Ensembl, RIKEN, UCSC) as well as unpublished data. To generate a higher order description, additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease. The objective of this project is to generate a comprehensive description of human chromosome 7 to facilitate biological discovery, disease gene research and medical genetic applications. There are over 360 disease-associated genes or loci on chromosome 7. A major challenge ahead will be to represent chromosome alterations, variants, and polymorphisms and their related phenotypes (or lack thereof), in an accessible way. In addition to being a primary data source, this site serves as a weighing station for testing community ideas and information to produce highly curated data to be submitted to other databases such as NCBI, Ensembl, and UCSC. Therefore, any useful data submitted will be curated and shown in this database. All Chromosome 7 genomic clones (cosmids, BACs, YACs) listed in GBrowser and in other data tables are freely distributed.
