http://svmerge.sourceforge.net/

Software pipeline to detect structural variants (SVs) by integrating calls from several existing SV callers, which are then validated and the breakpoints refined using local de novo assembly. The output is in BED format allowing for easy downstream analysis or viewing in a genome browser. It is modular and extensible allowing new callers to be incorporated as they become available.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/tools/carol

Software application that is a combined functional annotation score of non-synonymous coding variants. A major challenge in interpreting whole-exome data is predicting which of the discovered variants are deleterious or neutral. To address this question in silico, they have developed a score called Combined Annotation scoRing toOL (CAROL), which combines information from two bioinformatics tools: PolyPhen-2 and SIFT, in order to improve the prediction of the effect of non-synonymous coding variants. The combination of annotation tools can help improve automated prediction of whole-genome/exome non-synonymous variant functional consequences. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software) The software should run on any UNIX or GNU/Linux system.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/tools/dindel

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 7,2024. Software program for calling small indels from short-read sequence data ("next generation sequence data"). It is currently designed to handle only Illumina data. Dindel takes BAM files with mapped Illumina read data and enables researchers to detect small indels and produce a VCF file of all the variant calls. It has been written in C++ and can be used on Linux-based and Mac computers (it has not been tested on Windows operating systems).

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/vagrent/

Software tool set for calculating the biological consequences of genomic variations. The suite of perl modules compares genomic variations with reference genome annotations and generates the possible effects each variant may have on the transcripts it overlaps. It evaluates each variation/transcript combination and describes the effects in the mRNA, CDS and protein sequence contexts. It provides details of the sequence and position of the change within the transcript / protein as well as Sequence Ontology terms to classify its consequences.

http://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/

Interactive database which incorporates a suite of tools designed to aid the interpretation of submicroscopic chromosomal imbalance. Used to enhance clinical diagnosis by retrieving information from bioinformatics resources relevant to the imbalance found in the patient. Contributing to the DECIPHER database is a Consortium, comprising an international community of academic departments of clinical genetics. Each center maintains control of its own patient data (which are password protected within the center''''s own DECIPHER project) until patient consent is given to allow anonymous genomic and phenotypic data to become freely viewable within Ensembl and other genome browsers. Once data are shared, consortium members are able to gain access to the patient report and contact each other to discuss patients of mutual interest, thus facilitating the delineation of new microdeletion and microduplication syndromes.

http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/

An information resource for peptidases (also termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them. The MEROPS database uses an hierarchical, structure-based classification of the peptidases. In this, each peptidase is assigned to a Family on the basis of statistically significant similarities in amino acid sequence, and families that are thought to be homologous are grouped together in a Clan. There is a Summary page for each family and clan, and these have indexes. Each of the Summary pages offers links to supplementary pages. About 3000 individual peptidases and inhibitors are included in the database, and there is a Summary page describing each one. You can navigate to this by any of several routes. There are indexes of Name, MEROPS Identifier and source Organism on the menu bar. Each Summary page describes the classification and nomenclature of the peptidase or inhibitor, and provides links to supplementary pages showing sequence identifiers, the structure if known, literature references and more.

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/genetics/CGP/Software/AutoCSA/

AutoCSA (Automatic Comparative Sequence Analysis) is a mutation detection program designed to detect small mutations (1-50 bases) in sequence traces. The software is capable of detecting both homozygous and heterozygous base substitutions, as well as small insertions and deletions, to a high sensitivity. It has specifically been written with high throughput environments in mind, so it is easy to automate the analysis of large amounts of data with little manual intervention. AutoCSA is written in java and will run under java 1.4 or later versions which must be downloaded and installed on your computer. It should be emphasised that AutoCSA uses the raw sequence channels from the trace files generated by the ABI sequencers (.ab1 file extension). Traces which have been processed and the raw channels removed are not suitable for use with the software. The software has been tested successfully under Linux, MS windows XP, and Mac OS X 10.
