Abstract

The function of a RNA molecule relies on the underlying physical mechanisms and geometric properties in terms of secondary or tertiary structure, in which one of the most important properties is topological connectivity. RNAStudio, available at http://rnastudio.51.net, brings the convenience of Windows to the representation of RNA folding topology including the sections mentioned below.

Malaria-GENOMAP: a web-based tool for exploring genomic variation of malaria parasites.

MOTIVATION: Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, imposes a significant public health burden. While Plasmodium falciparum remains the primary target of elimination strategies due to its high mortality rate, lesser-known species such as P. malariae, P. vivax, and P. knowlesi continue to contribute to substantial human morbidity. Genomic approaches, including whole-genome sequencing, offer powerful tools for understanding the biology, transmission, and emerging drug resistance of these neglected Plasmodium species. However, there is an urgent need for informatic tools to summarize and visualize the high-dimensional and complex genomic data generated. RESULTS: We developed Malaria-GENOMAP, a user-friendly web-based tool, which integrates genomic variant data, such as allele frequencies, with geographical maps and chromosome-wide to gene views for in-depth exploration. The tool includes variation from P. knowlesi (n = 139), P. malariae (n = 158), P. ovale curtisi (n = 36), P. ovale wallikeri (n = 47), P. simium (n = 38), and P. vivax (n = 1359). It enables the investigation of population structure, geographic associations of mutations, and putative drug resistance markers, offering valuable insights for malaria control efforts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Malaria-GENOMAP is available online at https://genomics.lshtm.ac.uk/malaria-genomaps.

CLOURE: Clustal Output Reformatter, a program for reformatting ClustalX/ClustalW outputs for SNP analysis and molecular systematics.

We describe a program (and a website) to reformat the ClustalX/ClustalW outputs to a format that is widely used in the presentation of sequence alignment data in SNP analysis and molecular systematic studies. This program, CLOURE, CLustal OUtput REformatter, takes the multiple sequence alignment file (nucleic acid or protein) generated from Clustal as input files. The CLOURE-D format presents the Clustal alignment in a format that highlights only the different nucleotides/residues relative to the first query sequence. The program has been written in Visual Basic and will run on a Windows platform. The downloadable program, as well as a web-based server which has also been developed, can be accessed at http://imtech.res.in/~anand/cloure.html.

NORSp: Predictions of long regions without regular secondary structure.

Many structurally flexible regions play important roles in biological processes. It has been shown that extended loopy regions are very abundant in the protein universe and that they have been conserved through evolution. Here, we present NORSp, a publicly available predictor for disordered regions in protein. Specifically, NORSp predicts long regions with NO Regular Secondary structure. Upon user submission of a protein sequence, NORSp will analyse the protein for its secondary structure, presence of transmembrane helices and coiled-coil. It will then return email to the user about the presence and position of disordered regions. NORSp can be accessed from http://cubic.bioc.columbia.edu/services/NORSp/.
