CRISPR/Cas system undoubtedly holds great potential for genome editing. Target site cleavage by CRISPR technology requires a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) immediately downstream or upstream of the protospacer element to which the sgRNA binds. However, Cas9 from different types of bacteria or variant recognizes different PAM sequences. To meet the needs of different CRISPR system with specific and efficient sgRNA design, CRISPR-offinder was developed. Given an input FASTA file of the target sites and queries the reference genome as well as a CRISPR system with a defined spacer length and PAM sequence, this standalone tool will identify putative sites and assign a predicted activity based on support vector machine model which conducted by sgRNA Scorer 2.0. In addition, sgRNAs with minimal off-target activity were predicted by Cas-OFFinder, and score with Off-Target Cutting Frequency Determination (CFD).

ConoSorter is a high-throughput standalone program that implements regular expressions and profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) for large-scale identification and classification of precursor conopeptides into gene superfamilies and classes based on the ER signal, pro-, and mature conopeptide regions generated from raw next-generation transcriptomic or proteomic data. 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.

CySBGN adds support to Cytoscape to import, export, visualize and analyse System Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) maps.

FASTQSim is a tool that provides the dual functionality of Next-Gen Sequencing dataset characterization and metagenomic data generation. FASTQSim is sequencing platform-independent, and computes distributions of read length, quality scores, indel rates, single point mutation rates, indel size, and similar statistics for any sequencing platform. To create training or testing datasets, FASTQSim has the ability to convert target sequences into in silico reads with matching error profiles. FASTQsim allows the user to simulate individual read datasets that can be used as standardized test scenarios for planning sequencing projects or for benchmarking metagenomic software. In this regard, in silico datasets generated with the FASTQsim tool hold several advantages over natural datasets: they are sequencing platform independent, extremely well characterized, and less expensive to generate.

Flow Investigation using N-Dimensions (FIND) is a program designed for analysis and visualization of Flow Cytometry data. FIND focuses specifically on automated population discovery (clustering) methods. The project targets both users and developers.

GATA is a graphic alignment tool for comparative sequence analysis. It makes use of BLAST to graphically align two DNA sequences, creating box- line- box representations of window scored local alignments. GATA also displays extensive GFF gene annotation.

Gen3D is an application designed to determine three-dimensional genome and chromosome models. It uses chromosomal contact data to construct three-dimensional conformations. This method can generate three-dimensional chromosomal models satisfying a large portion of chromosomal contacts. The software is developed in Prof. Jianlin Cheng's Bioinformatics, Data Mining and Machine Learning Laboratory in the Computer Science Department at the University of Missouri - Columbia, USA. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation (grant no. DBI1149224).

Kinannote identifies and classifies protein kinases in a user-provided fasta file using an HMM derived from serine/threonine protein kinases, a position specific scoring matrix derived from the HMM, and comparison with a local version of the curated kinase database from kinase.com. If the user inputs a complete proteome, additional modules evaluate the completeness of the kinome and place it in context with reference kinomes. Kinannote runs on a unix command line and depends on local hmmer 2 and Blast 2.24 installations.

LATEST VERSION NOW LOCATED AT http://git.durrantlab.com/jdurrant/lipidwrapper As ever larger and more complex biological systems are modeled in silico, approximating physiological lipid bilayers with simple planar models becomes increasingly unrealistic. When building large-scale models of whole subcellular environments, models of lipid membranes with carefully considered, biologically relevant curvature are essential. LipidWrapper, written by Jacob Durrant in the lab of Rommie E. Amaro, is capable of creating curved membrane models with geometries derived from various possible sources, both experimental and theoretical. We are hopeful that this utility will be a useful tool for the computational-biology community.
