http://sourceforge.net/p/treq/home/Home/
A software read mapper for high-throughput DNA sequencing reads, in particular one to several hundred nucleotides in length, and for large edit distance between sequencing read and match in the reference genome. It can cope particularly well with indels for single-best hit recall of 200nt reads simulated from the human reference genome. TreQ performs best at a running time comparable to BWA at large edit distance settings.

http://estscan.sourceforge.net/
ESTScan is a program that can detect coding regions in DNA sequences, even if they are of low quality. ESTScan will also detect and correct sequencing errors that lead to frameshifts. ESTScan is not a gene prediction program , nor is it an open reading frame detector. In fact, its strength lies in the fact that it does not require an open reading frame to detect a coding region. As a result, the program may miss a few translated amino acids at either the N or the C terminus, but will detect coding regions with high selectivity and sensitivity. ESTScan takes advantages of the bias in hexanucleotide usage found in coding regions relative to non-coding regions. This bias is formalized as an inhomogeneous 3-periodic fifth-order Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Additionally, the HMM of ESTScan has been extended to allows insertions and deletions when these improve the coding region statistics.

https://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/predictivenetworks//
A flexible, open-source, web-based application and data services framework that enables the integration, navigation, visualization and analysis of gene interaction networks. The primary goal of PN is to allow biomedical researchers to evaluate experimentally derived gene lists in the context of large-scale gene interaction networks. The PN analytical pipeline involves two key steps. The first is the collection of a comprehensive set of known gene interactions derived from a variety of publicly available sources. The second is to use these ''known'' interactions together with gene expression data to infer robust gene networks. The regression-based network inference algorithm creates a graph of gene interactions in which cycles may be present (but no self-loops). Based on information-theoretic techniques, a causal gene interaction network is inferred from both prior knowledge (interactions extracted from biomedical literature and structured biological databases) and gene expression data. A prediction model is fitted for each gene, given its parents, enabling assessment of the predictive ability of the network model.

http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~chxw/software/G-BLASTN.html
A GPU-accelerated nucleotide alignment tool based on the widely used NCBI-BLAST. It can produce exactly the same results as NCBI-BLAST, and it also has very similar user commands. It also supports a pipeline mode, which can fully utilize the GPU and CPU resources when handling a batch of medium to large sized queries.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/viralfusionseq/
A versatile high-throughput sequencing (HTS) tool for discovering viral integration events and reconstruct fusion transcripts at single-base resolution. It combines soft-clipping information, read-pair analysis, and targeted de novo assembly to discover and annotate viral-human fusion events. A simple yet effective empirical statistical model is used to evaluate the quality of fusion breakpoints. Minimal user defined parameters are required.

Database that unites independently created and maintained data collections of transcription factor and regulatory sequence annotation. The flexible PAZAR schema permits the representation of diverse information derived from experiments ranging from biochemical protein-DNA binding to cellular reporter gene assays. Data collections can be made available to the public, or restricted to specific system users. The data ''boutiques'' within the shopping-mall-inspired system facilitate the analysis of genomics data and the creation of predictive models of gene regulation., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
