THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 22,2022. An open source software tool for fusion discovery with paired-end RNA-Seq reads. The tool follows a different strategy by finding fusions directly and verifying them, differentiating it from all other existing tools by finding the candidate regions and searching for the fusions afterwards.

An online database of curated cancer stem cell (CSC) experiments coupled to the Galaxy analytical framework. Driven by a need to improve our understanding of molecular processes that are common and unique across cancer stem cells (CSCs), the SCDE allows users to consistently describe, share and compare CSC data at the gene and pathway level. The initial focus has been on carefully curating tissue and cancer stem cell-related experiments from blood, intestine and brain to create a high quality resource containing 53 public studies and 1098 assays. The experimental information is captured and stored in the multi-omics Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA-Tab) format and can be queried in the data repository. A linked Galaxy framework provides a comprehensive, flexible environment populated with novel tools for gene list comparisons against molecular signatures in GeneSigDB and MSigDB, curated experiments in the SCDE and pathways in WikiPathways. Investigation/Study/Assay (ISA) infrastructure is the first general-purpose format and freely available desktop software suite targeted to experimentalists, curators and developers and that: * assists in the reporting and local management of experimental metadata (i.e. sample characteristics, technology and measurement types, sample-to-data relationships) from studies employing one or a combination of technologies; * empowers users to uptake community-defined minimum information checklists and ontologies, where required; * formats studies for submission to a growing number of international public repositories endorsing the tools, currently ENA (genomics), PRIDE (proteomics) and ArrayExpress (transcriptomics). Galaxy allows you to do analyses you cannot do anywhere else without the need to install or download anything. You can analyze multiple alignments, compare genomic annotations, profile metagenomic samples and much much more. Best of all, Galaxy''''s history system provides a complete analyses record that can be shared. Every history is an analysis workflow, which can be used to reproduce the entire experiment. The code for this Galaxy instance is available for download from BitBucket.

http://www.bioperl.org

BioPerl is a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. This toolkit of perl modules is useful in building bioinformatics solutions in Perl. It is built in an object-oriented manner so that many modules depend on each other to achieve a task. The collection of modules in the bioperl-live repository consist of the core of the functionality of bioperl. Additionally auxiliary modules for creating graphical interfaces (bioperl-gui), persistent storage in RDMBS (bioperl-db), running and parsing the results from hundreds of bioinformatics applications (Run package), software to automate bioinformatic analyses (bioperl-pipeline) are all available as Git modules in our repository. The BioPerl toolkit provides a library of hundreds of routines for processing sequence, annotation, alignment, and sequence analysis reports. It often serves as a bridge between different computational biology applications assisting the user to construct analysis pipelines. This chapter illustrates how BioPerl facilitates tasks such as writing scripts summarizing information from BLAST reports or extracting key annotation details from a GenBank sequence record. BioPerl includes modules written by Sohel Merchant of the GO Consortium for parsing and manipulating OBO ontologies. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

http://www.clipz.unibas.ch/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 20,2019.Database and analysis environment for experimentally determined binding sites of RNA-binding proteins. It supports the automatic functional annotation of short reads resulting primarily from crosslinking and immunoprecipitation experiments (CLIP) performed with RNA-binding proteins in order to identify the binding sites of these proteins. The functional annotation could be also applied to short reads resulting from other types of experiments such as mRNA-Seq, Digital Gene Expression, small RNA cloning, etc. The platform enables visualization and mining of individual data sets as well as analysis involving multiple experimental data sets. The platform can support collaborative projects involving multiple users and groups of users as well as public and private datasets.
