MToolBox is a highly automated bioinformatics pipeline to reconstruct and analyze human mitochondrial DNA from high throughput sequencing data. MToolBox includes an updated computational strategy to assemble mitochondrial genomes from Whole Exome and/or Genome Sequencing (PMID: 22669646) and an improved fragment-classify tool (PMID:22139932) for haplogroup assignment, functional and prioritization analysis of mitochondrial variants. MToolBox provides pathogenicity scores, profiles of genome variability and disease-associations for mitochondrial variants. MToolBox provides also a Variant Call Format file (version 4.0) featuring, for the first time, allele-specific heteroplasmy. Please, check out the most recent updates of the source code with the Github repository of MToolBox: https://github.com/mitoNGS/MToolBox or visit the Web version of MToolBox @ MSeqDR: https://mseqdr.org/mtoolbox.php

ADOMA stands for: Alternative Display Of Multiple Alignment. ADOMA can create four different displays of a multiple sequence alignment: a ClustalW alignment in HTML format, a simplified ClustalW alignment in HTML and/or txt format and a colored ClustalW alignment in HTML format. For examples of these outputfiles check the screenshots. ADOMA uses ClustalW to create the multiple alignment from DNA or protein sequences and displays them slightly different than the normal output of ClustalW. ADOMA is a commandline program that can easily be used in pipelines. For more information check the README.md in the Files section. How to cite ADOMA: Zaal, D. and Nota, B.

DNA and RNA nucleotide sequences are an ubiquitous element of all biological cells and are serving on one hand as a comprehensive library of capabilities for the cells and on the other as an impressive regulatory system to control cellular function. The presented multi-alignment framework (MAF) should give researchers a simple sequence alignment platform as a functional template, flexible enough to adjust all steps but also comprehensive enough to join many different tools and custom parameter combinations if in-depth analysis is necessary or advised in e.g. low read rate situations. The platform enables researcher to apply multiple sequence aligners and further pre- and postprocessing tools in flexible combinations to analyze the subtle to remarkable differences between different sequence alignment and processing algorithms applied to the same data basis.

PTESFinder is a computational pipeline for identifying Post-transcriptional Exon Shuffling events from high-throughput RNAseq data. PTESFinder leverages the power of established RNASeq tools and systematically excludes all known classes of false positive structures by applying stringent filters designed to specifically target these false positives. PTESFinder compares alignment qualities of reads mapping to putative PTES structures with qualities of the same reads when mapped to genomic regions and canonically spliced transcripts. This approach increases the confidence in PTES supporting reads. Reads emanating from template-switching events are often characterised by large indels when aligned to the transcriptome. PTESFinder uses additional filters to exclude reads with ambiguous alignments around PTES exon-exon junctions, further increasing confidence in these supporting reads. PTESFinder identifies more PTES structures than other published methods whilst maintaining high specificity.

Seqs Extractor is a useful tool, and can reduce ambiguities in analyses which uses BLAST command ine, commonly in the next generation sequencing, Transcriptomics, Proteomics, etc and help extract BLASTed sequences and sequences that contains microsatellites. Seqs Extrator also turns the BLAST command line more friendly.

ALEXA-Seq is a method for using massively parallel paired-end transcriptome sequencing for 'alternative expression analysis'.

This is a collection of scripts and instructions on how to analyzing amplicon sequence data (i.e., 16S, ITS2, & other marker genes). I created this workflow to create a consistent set of methods for analyzing amplicon sequence data, from when you first receive the sequence data to statistical analyses & data visualization. All you need is to have the latest version of R installed, some experience with the command line & shell, and enough memory to run all of the programs. There are also instructions provided in case you are running these analyses via a computing cluster/Slurm workload manager. You can choose to go through the workflow using either an Rmd script, an html file, or a PDF, or via the homepage link provided. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks!

ArrayOligoSelector (AOS) systematically designs gene specific long oligo probes for entire genomes. The program optimizes the oligo selections for several parameters, including uniqueness in the genome, internal repeats, self-binding, and GC content.

CoDeCZ derives copy number state from targeted sequencing data on gene or exon level. Results are NOT true copy number however, but they are semi-quantitative: It uses the modified z-score to calculate deviation in normalized coverage per specified region. The higher the Z-score, the higher the copy number. The final z-score depends on the quality of the data and the makeup of the reference pool.

ExonFinder provides a pipeline to extract novel cassette exons and novel retained-introns from the results of mapping cross-species ESTs against a target genome via blat.

FFP (Feature frequency profile) is an alignment free comparison tool for phylogenetic analysis and text comparison. It can be applied to nucleotide sequences, complete genomes, proteomes and even used for text comparison.

Fast Neurite Tracer (FNT) is a tool for semi-automated neurite tracing. FNT can handle big imaging data such as fMOST data. It can also process other types of light imaging data in general. FNT is designed to be * accurate in tracing (each tracing step needs your confirmation), * fast (operations using computer mouse is reduced with automatic searching), * scalable (large volume data of tera-bytes in size are supported). Other features include * the results can be exported to SWC files, * automatic detection of cycles during tracing, * support for data of multiple channels, * support for both 8-bit and 16-bit image data.
