...First, we implement the advantage algorithms of LFQuant (Proteomics 2012, 12, (23-24), 3475-84) and SILVER (Bioinformatics 2014, 30, (4), 586-7) into PANDA. Second, we consider the state-of-art concept of quantification reliability in this quantitative workflow. On the levels of spectra, peptides and proteins, PANDA works out a few quantitative filters and new scores for quantification confidence. Third, PANDA is designed for processing proteomics big data in parallel.

...These problems include mis-priming due to nonspecific binding to non-target DNA templates, primer dimerization, and the inability to separate and purify DNA amplicons of similar electrophoretic mobility. Results: A new program named MPprimer was developed to help users design primer sets for multiplex PCR with high reliability. It employs the widely used primer design program Primer3 and the primer specificity evaluation program MFEprimer to design and evaluate the candidate primers based on genomic or transcript DNA database, followed by careful examination to avoid primer dimerization.

...MSTgold estimates the number of alternative MSTs, reports up to a user-determined number of those trees, reports a consensus tree, and implements a bootstrapping metric to assess the reliability of alternate MST solutions. MSTgold accepts single-character data that are nucleotides, amino acids, binary characters, or SNPs; integers that represent, for instance, the lengths of VNTRs or microsatellites; and distance matrices. The MSTgold package includes Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows executables of the MSTgold program, a detailed Manual, example data and results, and executables of the program Fasta2MSTG which converts Fasta sequence files to the MSTgold input format.

...The goal is to profile the composition of metagenomic communities as accurately as possible and present the results to the user in a convenient manner. One main focus is reliability: the tool calculates quality metrics for the estimated candidates and allows the user to identify false candidates easily.

...ConoSorter also generates a set of relevant additional information (frequency of protein sequences, length, number of cysteine residues, hydrophobicity rate of N-terminal region) and automatically searches ConoServer database to allow the user to assess the reliability and relevance of the results and to aid the identification of new conopeptide superfamilies and classes.
