Software

Our software packages are divided into the following categories:

Sequencing/Assembly

AMOS

Manipulation of input and output files related to whole-genome shotgun assembly. Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.

Celera Assembler

Celera Assembler can reconstruct long sequences of genomic DNA given the fragmentary data produced by whole-genome shotgun sequencing.

Cloe

Viewer/editor the finishing stage of Sanger sequencing projects.

Elvira

High throughput assembly of amplicon reads for virus-sized genomes.

Lucy

A tool for cleaning data produced by automated Sanger DNA sequencers prior to sequence assembly and other downstream uses.

TIGR Assembler

Enabled the first published whole-genome assembly of a free-living organism in 1995. Last revised in 2003.

TIGR Closure Tools

This package includes AutoCloser, Clover, autoPrimer, getqc, SQL scripts for closure databases, importTraces, subfrag, pulfrag, and aloader.

TIGR SSS

Middleware for organizing large chunks of data to free the client from having to encode data storage specifics.

TraceTuner

TraceTuner is a DNA sequencing quality value, base calling and trace processing software.

Gene Finding

Glimmer

A microbial gene-finding system, especially in bacteria, archaea, and viruses. Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.

Annotation

AAT

A tool for analyzing and annotating eukaryotic genomic sequences.

Manatee

Web-based gene evaluation and genome annotation tool to view, modify, and store annotation for prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.

Genome Analysis

DAGchainer

The DAGchainer software computes chains of syntenic genes found within complete genome sequences.

k-mer Tools

DNA sequence analysis tools including ESTmapper, Snapper (for mapping reads), and ATAC (for aligning genomes).

MUMmer

MUMmer is a system for rapidly aligning entire genomes (draft or complete). Currently maintained at CBCB at the University of Maryland.

SNP Filter Scripts

Scripts to identify and filter out false positive SNP calls that are present in raw data from Affymetrix GeneChip® resequencing arrays.

TM4

TM4 is a suite of open source software tools that manage and analyze data from microarray experiments.

Proteomics Tools
