Open Source Tcl Bio-Informatics Software

A fully developed set of DNA sequence assembly (Gap4 and Gap5), editing and analysis tools (Spin) for Unix, Linux, MacOSX and MS Windows.

The Huygens Remote Manager is an open-source, efficient, multi-user web-based interface to the Huygens software by Scientific Volume Imaging (http://www.svi.nl/) for parallel batch deconvolutions.

Genetic analysis programs for affected sibling pair data and discrete traits, including multipoint exclusion mapping, map distance estimation, transmission disequilibrium testing, and relationship validation

Project provides some Tcl/Tk procedure for manipulating Biology data. And, attributed to the clarity of the Tcl code, it is also useful for education.

GenomePixelizer is a program for comparative genomics, detection of duplication events in genomes, tracking the "footprints" of evolution. It may be considered as a drawing tool that generates custom images of genomes out of the given set of genes.

MICROSATELIGHT is a Perl/Tk graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates several tasks when scoring microsatellites.

PhyloGrapher is a program designed to visualize and study evolutionary relationships within families of homologous genes or proteins (elements). PhyloGrapher is a drawing tool that generates custom graphs for the given set of elements.

RReportGenerator aims to provide a simple and user-friendly multi-platform graphical user interface (GUI) allowing to run routine statistical analysis using R via predefined analysis scenarios to produce reports in pdf-format.

RmscopII is a Tcl/Tk script responsible to redirect protein structure files (PDB files) or RasMol scripts to multiple RasMol sessions. It can be used as a web browser helper application or as a standalone program.

STARS is an alternative interface to staden for studying polymorphisms in short sequences with batch processing, manual editing, trace viewing and data management. STARS was initially designed for Multi Locus Sequence Typing of bacteria.

Parsers for biological data based on scanner generators like Flex (C), Re2c(C), Jflex (Java) and Ifickle (Tcl). This scanner generators are providing easier maintainance, development and higher speed than hand written scanners. Scanner output is SQL.

UPDATE: LATEST VERSION AT http://git.durrantlab.com//jdurrant/wisp Allostery can occur by way of subtle cooperation among protein residues (e.g., amino acids) even in the absence of large conformational shifts. Dynamical network analysis has been used to model this cooperation, helping to computationally explain how binding to an allosteric site can impact the behavior of a primary site often many angstroms away. Traditionally, computational efforts have focused on the most optimal path of correlated motions leading from the allosteric to the primary active site. We present a program called Weighted Implementation of Suboptimal Paths (WISP) capable of rapidly identifying additional suboptimal pathways that may also play important roles in the transmission of allosteric signals. Aside from providing signal redundancy, suboptimal paths traverse residues that, if disrupted through pharmacological or mutational means, could modulate the allosteric regulation of important drug targets.

dna2abc turns DNA sequences into musical sequences. The key feature is the rule editor; a rule is a regular expression paired with a Tcl script. dna2abc scans a DNA sequence, testing each regular expression: if it matches, the Tcl script is run.
