Abstract

SUMMARY: CGH-Explorer is a program for visualization and statistical analysis of microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) data. The program has preprocessing facilities, tools for graphical exploration of individual arrays or groups of arrays, and tools for statistical identification of regions of amplification and deletion.

Fragnostic: walking through protein structure space.

The Fragnostic (http://ffas.burnham.org/Fragnostic) web tool implements a novel and useful view of protein structure space. We mined a non-redundant subset of the PDB for common fragments shared between proteins inhabiting different SCOP folds. Subsequently, we formulated an inter-fold similarity measure based on fragment sharing. Fold space is described as a graph whose nodes are folds between which the edges are drawn depending on the extent of fragment sharing. In this fashion, Fragnostic helps discover meaningful relationships between proteins belonging to different folds, based on sharing similar fragments in the proteins comprising those folds. Distant fold similarity information is supplemented by annotations taken from Gene Ontology, SCOP and CATH. Overall, Fragnostic is a tool which helps discover structural and functional relationships between proteins which are distantly related or seemingly unrelated.

Multiple alignment of genomic sequences using CHAOS, DIALIGN and ABC.

Comparative analysis of genomic sequences is a powerful approach to discover functional sites in these sequences. Herein, we present a WWW-based software system for multiple alignment of genomic sequences. We use the local alignment tool CHAOS to rapidly identify chains of pairwise similarities. These similarities are used as anchor points to speed up the DIALIGN multiple-alignment program. Finally, the visualization tool ABC is used for interactive graphical representation of the resulting multiple alignments. Our software is available at Göttingen Bioinformatics Compute Server (GOBICS) at http://dialign.gobics.de/chaos-dialign-submission.

PRALINE: a multiple sequence alignment toolbox that integrates homology-extended and secondary structure information.

PRofile ALIgNEment (PRALINE) is a fully customizable multiple sequence alignment application. In addition to a number of available alignment strategies, PRALINE can integrate information from database homology searches to generate a homology-extended multiple alignment. PRALINE also provides a choice of seven different secondary structure prediction programs that can be used individually or in combination as a consensus for integrating structural information into the alignment process. The program can be used through two separate interfaces: one has been designed to cater to more advanced needs of researchers in the field, and the other for standard construction of high confidence alignments. The web-based output is designed to facilitate the comprehensive visualization of the generated alignments by means of five default colour schemes based on: residue type, position conservation, position reliability, residue hydrophobicity and secondary structure, depending on the options set. A user can also define a custom colour scheme by selecting which colour will represent one or more amino acids in the alignment. All generated alignments are also made available in the PDF format for easy figure generation for publications. The grouping of sequences, on which the alignment is based, can also be visualized as a dendrogram. PRALINE is available at http://ibivu.cs.vu.nl/programs/pralinewww/.
