MethyMer is a Python-based tool aimed at selecting specific primers for amplification of complete CpG islands. These regions are difficult in terms of selection appropriate primers because of their low-complexity, polyN-, CG-richness, etc. MethyMer have a flexible scoring system capable of selecting primers in problematic regions (e.g. SpG islands) and includes specificity test (based on bowtie alignment against bisulfite-treated genome). It also incorporates TCGA CpG methylation...

Maximum Common Genome Alignment (MCGA) Tool MCGA is a bioinformatics analysis tool written in Python for generating core genome alignment for bacterial whole genome sequences which can be used to construct phylogenetic trees.

One goal of sequencing based metagenomic analysis is the quantitative taxonomic assessment of microbial community compositions. However, the majority of approaches either quantify at low resolution (e.g. at phylum level) or have severe problems discerning highly similar species. Yet, accurate quantification on species level is desirable in applications such as metagenomic diagnostics or community comparison.

This project incorporates a suite of tools that aim to allow researchers within Griffith's Imaging and Image Analysis Facility (GIIAF) to efficiently and effectively provide secure, centralised, web-accessible data storage, management and manipulation. The open-source Java-based OMERO software was customised to provide most of the features of this project.
