Prokka is a command-line software tool for rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes (bacteria and archaea). Given a FASTA file of contigs, it predicts genes, rRNAs, tRNAs, and other functional elements, then assigns functions by comparing to reference protein databases and HMM profiles. It outputs GenBank, GFF, and other formats compatible with downstream tools and genome browsers. Prokka handles common complications—overlapping ORFs, frameshifts, alternate start codons—while providing customizable databases so researchers can bias domain or strain-specific annotations. ...

...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. ...

An ensemble of mathematical model is presented that all show diauxic growth behaviour of a bacterial culture. Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is the main mechanism controlling carbohydrate uptake in bacteria, and therefore also controlling whether or not different carbon sources are metabolized in parallel or sequentially. Although described as a paradigm of the regulation of bacterial metabolism, the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. The models in the ensemble can be categorized according to regulatory, stoichiometric, and physiological constraints and differ from each other on only a single aspect. ...

...Here we propose a novel approach, RiboFR-Seq (Ribosomal RNA gene Flanking Region Sequencing), for capturing both ribosomal RNA variable regions and their flanking protein-coding genes simultaneously. We demonstrated that RiboFR-Seq could detect the vast majority of bacteria not only in well-studied microbiomes but also in novel communities with limited reference genomes. Combined with classical amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenome sequencing, RiboFR-Seq can link the annotations of 16S rRNA and metagenomic contigs to make a consensus classification.

Ours organization website GCModeller.org is coming online soon! Shoal Shell is the sub project for the "genome-in-code"(http://code.google.com/p/genome-in-code/) virtual cell modelling project of the bacteria Xcc 8004. Shoal Shell aim at provide the modelling tool and the debugging tool for the GCModeller virtual cell modelling, And from the extendible library package, shoal shell can manage to accomplish the entire modelling job for any other bacteria species. Shoal Shell Project needs grownup I'm just a student in the university, and the shoal shell just in its begining, if you have any idea about shoal, please contact me from xie.guigang@gmail.com. ...

Image analysis program that extract the movements of the bacteria from digitised movies and data processing associated.
