Software
Our software packages are divided into the following categories:
Sequencing/Assembly
Manipulation of input and output files related to whole-genome shotgun assembly. Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.
Celera Assembler can reconstruct long sequences of genomic DNA given the fragmentary data produced by whole-genome shotgun sequencing.
High throughput assembly of amplicon reads for virus-sized genomes.
High throughput PCR primer design software.
A tool for cleaning data produced by automated Sanger DNA sequencers prior to sequence assembly and other downstream uses.
Enabled the first published whole-genome assembly of a free-living organism in 1995. Last revised in 2003.
Middleware for organizing large chunks of data to free the client from having to encode data storage specifics.
TraceTuner is a DNA sequencing quality value, base calling and trace processing software.
Gene Finding
A microbial gene-finding system, especially in bacteria, archaea, and viruses. Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.
Annotation
A tool for analyzing and annotating eukaryotic genomic sequences.
Web-based gene evaluation and genome annotation tool to view, modify, and store annotation for prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.
A eukaryotic genome annotation tool that exploits spliced alignments of expressed transcript sequences to automatically model gene structure...
Genome Analysis
The DAGchainer software computes chains of syntenic genes found within complete genome sequences.
DNA sequence analysis tools including ESTmapper, Snapper (for mapping reads), and ATAC (for aligning genomes).
MUMmer is a system for rapidly aligning entire genomes (draft or complete). Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.
