Development of Biocomputing resources

I collaborate in the development of Biocomputing algorithms and databases. Most of them are publicly available through web servers.

NEW:

ARD Identification of alpha-rod repeats (e.g. HEAT, armadillo) in protein sequences using a neural net. [About]
MLTrends Graphs word and term usage trends in the Medline database of biomedical abstracts. [About]

 

BiasViz

Visualization of amino acid biased regions in protein alignments.
Bluster Sequence similarity search against our collection of protein sequence clusters.
Disease_KW Get keywords associated to human disease from OMIM entries or from MEDLINE abstracts.
G2D Candidate genes to inherited diseases derived by data mining. [About]
KAT Keyword Annotation Tool: derive keywords from sets of references to the scientific literature. [About]
k2d Prediction of protein secondary structure percentages from circular dichroism data. The program is also available. [About]
K2D2 Predict protein secondary structure content from circular dichroism spectra. This is an update of k2d.
Marker Server Detection of stem cell markers using gene expression data analysis.
Medline Ranker Score abstracts from Medline according to a training set of abstracts or a MeSH term. [About]
NAIL Representation and linking of HMMer output. [About]
PhyloView Colour a phylogenetic tree according to taxonomy. [About]
Probe2GO
Obtain extended GO annotations for Affymetrix probe sets. [About]
REP Identification of protein repeats. [About] [Supplementary information]
StemBase A database of stem cell gene expression data derived in our institute. [About]
Transcriptome Sailor Examine a genomic region in mouse or human for 3' transcript ends according to EST evidence [About]
XplorMed Analysis of queries in MEDLINE. [About]

Some of these servers are dying (nothing is eternal!). If you are concerned about this please contact me. May be something can be done.

AbXtract 1998-2004 Automatic Abstract eXtraction of keywords associated to protein function
GeneQuiz 1998-2007 Automatic large scale sequence analysis using a variety of DNA/protein databases and protein analysis methods. Analyses were performend during 1996-2003. Contact Christos Ouzounis for availability. The method was available at the EBI (1998-2004) and then at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (2005-2007).
