UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detectionBioinformatics - Tập 27 Số 16 - Trang 2194-2200 - 2011
Robert C. Edgar, Brian J. Haas, José C. Clemente, Christopher Quince, Rob Knight
Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain
reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA
or fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer) to assess diversity or compare
populations. Undetected chimeras may be misinterpreted as novel species, causing
inflated estimates of diversity and spurious inferences of differences between
population... hiện toàn bộ
InterProScan 5: genome-scale protein function classificationBioinformatics - Tập 30 Số 9 - Trang 1236-1240 - 2014
Philip Jones, David Binns, Hsin-Yu Chang, Matthew Fraser, Weizhong Li, Craig McAnulla, Hamish McWilliam, John Maslen, Alex Mitchell, Gift Nuka, Sebastien Pesseat, A. F. Quinn, Amaia Sangrador‐Vegas, Maxim Scheremetjew, Siew-Yit Yong, Rodrigo López, Sarah Hunter
Abstract Motivation: Robust large-scale sequence analysis is a major challenge
in modern genomic science, where biologists are frequently trying to
characterize many millions of sequences. Here, we describe a new Java-based
architecture for the widely used protein function prediction software package
InterProScan. Developments include improvements and additions to the outputs of
the software and t... hiện toàn bộ
BEDTools: a flexible suite of utilities for comparing genomic featuresBioinformatics - Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang 841-842 - 2010
Aaron R. Quinlan, Ira M. Hall
Abstract Motivation: Testing for correlations between different sets of genomic
features is a fundamental task in genomics research. However, searching for
overlaps between features with existing web-based methods is complicated by the
massive datasets that are routinely produced with current sequencing
technologies. Fast and flexible tools are therefore required to ask complex
questions of these ... hiện toàn bộ
QuickGO: a web-based tool for Gene Ontology searchingBioinformatics - Tập 25 Số 22 - Trang 3045-3046 - 2009
David Binns, Emily Dimmer, Rachael P. Huntley, Daniel Barrell, Claire O’Donovan, Rolf Apweiler
Abstract Summary: QuickGO is a web-based tool that allows easy browsing of the
Gene Ontology (GO) and all associated electronic and manual GO annotations
provided by the GO Consortium annotation groups QuickGO has been a popular GO
browser for many years, but after a recent redevelopment it is now able to offer
a greater range of facilities including bulk downloads of GO annotation data
which can ... hiện toàn bộ
The role of indirect connections in gene networks in predicting functionBioinformatics - Tập 27 Số 13 - Trang 1860-1866 - 2011
Jesse Gillis, Paul Pavlidis
AbstractMotivation: Gene networks have been used widely in gene function
prediction algorithms, many based on complex extensions of the ‘guilt by
association’ principle. We sought to provide a unified explanation for the
performance of gene function prediction algorithms in exploiting network
structure and thereby simplify future analysis.Results: We use co-expression
networks to show that most ex... hiện toàn bộ
ProtTest 3: fast selection of best-fit models of protein evolutionBioinformatics - Tập 27 Số 8 - Trang 1164-1165 - 2011
Diego Darriba, Guillermo L. Taboada, Ramón Doallo, David Posada
Abstract Summary: We have implemented a high-performance computing (HPC) version
of ProtTest that can be executed in parallel in multicore desktops and clusters.
This version, called ProtTest 3, includes new features and extended
capabilities. Availability: ProtTest 3 source code and binaries are freely

Datamonkey 2010: a suite of phylogenetic analysis tools for evolutionary biologyBioinformatics - Tập 26 Số 19 - Trang 2455-2457 - 2010
Wayne Delport, Art F. Y. Poon, Simon D. W. Frost, Sergei L. Kosakovsky Pond
Abstract Summary: Datamonkey is a popular web-based suite of phylogenetic
analysis tools for use in evolutionary biology. Since the original release in
2005, we have expanded the analysis options to include recently developed
algorithmic methods for recombination detection, evolutionary fingerprinting of
genes, codon model selection, co-evolution between sites, identification of
sites, which rapid... hiện toàn bộ
