Search Results for "repeat"

...This command line python program allows for a user to use the polymorphism data generated using SAM- and BAM-tools and a .fasta alignment file to search for polymorphic microsatellite markers (MSATs or STRs). By identifying polymorphic makers, rather than simple repeat regions as previous programs have done, iMSAT greatly increases the speed at which polymorphic MSATs that can be identified -- saving researchers precious time and money. Visit http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/15/858/abstract for the pdf article describing the utility of iMSAT and if you use the program please cite this article as: Andersen and Mills: iMSAT: a novel approach to the development of microsatellite loci using barcoded Illumina libraries. ...

...After various attempts to build different mitochondrial genomes in the lab I studied, a general pipeline started to appear: assemble reads with MIRA or SOAPdenovo-Trans, look for a scaffold/contig that matches a closely-related species, check it to see if all expected genomic features are present (since mitochondria is well conserved), check to see if the assembly might have circularized (since it's a circular DNA). If a feature was missing, or it hasn't circularized, try and assemble again with different assembler parameters (mainly k-mer). Rinse and repeat until the best build is found.

FONZIE is a bioinformatic tool written in Python developed for the genetic cartography speciality. FONZIE allow as well to find markers on a set of sequences than to find associate oligonucleotides. http://www.biomedcentral.com/1756-0500/3/322/abstra

RADAR stands for Rapid Automatic Detection and Alignment of Repeats in protein sequences. RADAR identifies gapped approximate repeats and complex repeat architectures involving many different types of repeats. Radar has moved to github (https://github.com/AndreasHeger/radar)
