This component project will focus on the bioinformatics infrastructure of post-genomic analysis, especially in the field of structural proteomics and pharmaceutical application. However, other general computational tools, algorithms and educational resources will be developed as well.
A.On-line services and software | |
(1) Next generation sequencing related tools | |
(a) DSAP- Deep Sequencing Small RNA Analysis Pipeline, a web server designed to provide a total solution to analyze small RNAs
sequencing data generated by SOLEXA. (b) SoRT2 - A Tool for Sorting Genomes and Reconstructing Phylogenetic Trees by Reversals, Generalized Transpositions and
Translocations (c) SPRING- Sorting Permutation by Reversals and block-INterchanGes (d) ROBIN- A Tool for Genome Rearrangement of Block-Interchanges (e) SORTBI- Sorting by Block-Interchanges (f) GPDB- Genome Profile Database. GPDB has been developed to provide and compare features of the fully sequenced organisms in a
graphic and easy-reading way. We focus on these prokaryotes including bacteria and archaea. In this post-genome era, we try to grab the information
derived from both nucleotide and protein sequence in a genome-wide scale. We provide some "Genome Profile", develop on-line graphic
browsing interface and use hierarchical clustering method to compare and view the difference between these organisms. |

(2) Structural analysis tools | |
(a) iSARST- Integrated service of SARST (Structure Alignment by Ramachandran Search Tool) and CPSARST (Circular Permutation Search Aided by Ramachandran Sequential Transformation) (b) Tm Predictor- Melting Temperature Prediction; Predict thermal stability of proteins |
|
|
|
(a) CPDB- Circular Permutation Database. The CPDB provides resources for studying CP and CP relationships among protein structures. (b) nsLTPDB - the non-specific Lipid Transfer Protein Database for Plant |
|
(4) Sequence Analysis: | |
(a) BLAST- BLAST against PDB protein databank (b) RPS-BLAST- Search protein or DNA sequence against Motif/Domain database (c) FASTA- Pair-wise Sequences Alignment (d) Gene Predict- Gene Prediction Program for Prokaryotic Genome Sequence |
|
(5) Miscellaneous tools: | |
(a) KPST - KEGG Pathway Search Tool (b) RMA- A Reniforced Merging Algorithm to searching unique peptide motifs |
|
B.Customized data analysis on structural proteomics and pharmaceutical application | |
