Project description:BackgroundThree dimensional biomedical image sets are becoming ubiquitous, along with the canonical atlases providing the necessary spatial context for analysis. To make full use of these 3D image sets, one must be able to present views for 2D display, either surface renderings or 2D cross-sections through the data. Typical display software is limited to presentations along one of the three orthogonal anatomical axes (coronal, horizontal, or sagittal). However, data sets precisely oriented along the major axes are rare. To make fullest use of these datasets, one must reasonably match the atlas' orientation; this involves resampling the atlas in planes matched to the data set. Traditionally, this requires the atlas and browser reside on the user's desktop; unfortunately, in addition to being monolithic programs, these tools often require substantial local resources. In this article, we describe a network-capable, client-server framework to slice and visualize 3D atlases at off-axis angles, along with an open client architecture and development kit to support integration into complex data analysis environments.ResultsHere we describe the basic architecture of a client-server 3D visualization system, consisting of a thin Java client built on a development kit, and a computationally robust, high-performance server written in ANSI C++. The Java client components (NetOStat) support arbitrary-angle viewing and run on readily available desktop computers running Mac OS X, Windows XP, or Linux as a downloadable Java Application. Using the NeuroTerrain Software Development Kit (NT-SDK), sophisticated atlas browsing can be added to any Java-compatible application requiring as little as 50 lines of Java glue code, thus making it eminently re-useable and much more accessible to programmers building more complex, biomedical data analysis tools. The NT-SDK separates the interactive GUI components from the server control and monitoring, so as to support development of non-interactive applications. The server implementation takes full advantage of data center's high-performance hardware, where it can be co-localized with centrally-located, 3D dataset repositories, extending access to the researcher community throughout the Internet.ConclusionThe combination of an optimized server and modular, platform-independent client provides an ideal environment for viewing complex 3D biomedical datasets, taking full advantage of high-performance servers to prepare images and subsets of associated meta-data for viewing, as well as the graphical capabilities in Java to actually display the data.

Project description:Summary:We present GWASpro, a high-performance web server for the analyses of large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). GWASpro was developed to provide data analyses for large-scale molecular genetic data, coupled with complex replicated experimental designs such as found in plant science investigations, and to overcome the steep learning curves of existing GWAS software tools. GWASpro supports building complex design matrices, by which complex experimental designs that may include replications, treatments, locations and times, can be accounted for in the linear mixed model (LMM). GWASpro is optimized to handle GWAS data that may consist of up to 10 million markers and 10,000 samples from replicable lines or hybrids. GWASpro provides an interface that significantly reduces the learning curve for new GWAS investigators. Availability and implementation:GWASpro is freely available at https://bioinfo.noble.org/GWASPRO. Supplementary information:Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:There is an immediate need for tools to both analyse and visualize in real-time single-nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions and deletions, and other structural variants from new sequence file formats. We have developed VarB software that can be used to visualize variant call format files in real time, as well as identify regions under balancing selection and informative markers to differentiate user-defined groups (e.g. populations). We demonstrate its utility using sequence data from 50 Plasmodium falciparum isolates comprising two different continents and confirm known signals from genomic regions that contain important antigenic and anti-malarial drug-resistance genes.The C++-based software VarB and user manual are available from www.pathogenseq.org/varb.taane.clark@lshtm.ac.uk

Project description:The number of databases in molecular biological fields has rapidly increased to provide a large-scale resource. Though valuable information is available, data can be difficult to access, compare and integrate due to different formats and presentations of web interfaces. This paper offers a practical guide to the integration of gene, comparative genomic, and functional genomics data using the Ensembl website at http://www.ensembl.org.The Ensembl genome browser and underlying databases focus on chordate organisms. More species such as plants and microorganisms can be investigated using our sister browser at http://www.ensemblgenomes.org.In this study, four examples are used that sample many pages and features of the Ensembl browser. We focus on comparative studies across over 50 mostly chordate organisms, variations linked to disease, functional genomics, and access of external information housed in databases outside the Ensembl project. Researchers will learn how to go beyond simply exporting one gene sequence, and explore how a genome browser can integrate data from various sources and databases to build a full and comprehensive biological picture.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 has spread worldwide and caused social, economic, and health turmoil. The first genome assembly of SARS-CoV-2 was produced in Wuhan, and it is widely used as a reference. Subsequently, more than a hundred additional SARS-CoV-2 genomes have been sequenced. While the genomes appear to be mostly identical, there are variations. Therefore, an alignment of all available genomes and the derived consensus sequence could be used as a reference, better serving the science community. Variations are significant, but representing them in a genome browser can become, especially if their sequences are largely identical. Here we summarize the variation in one track. Other information not currently found in genome browsers for SARS-CoV-2, such as predicted miRNAs and predicted TRS as well as secondary structure information, were also added as tracks to the consensus genome. We believe that a genome browser based on the consensus sequence is better suited when considering worldwide effects and can become a valuable resource in the combating of COVID-19. The genome browser is available at http://cov.iaba.online.

Project description:We have previously developed a computational method for representing a genome as a barcode image, which makes various genomic features visually apparent. We have demonstrated that this visual capability has made some challenging genome analysis problems relatively easy to solve. We have applied this capability to a number of challenging problems, including (a) identification of horizontally transferred genes, (b) identification of genomic islands with special properties and (c) binning of metagenomic sequences, and achieved highly encouraging results. These application results inspired us to develop this barcode-based genome analysis server for public service, which supports the following capabilities: (a) calculation of the k-mer based barcode image for a provided DNA sequence; (b) detection of sequence fragments in a given genome with distinct barcodes from those of the majority of the genome, (c) clustering of provided DNA sequences into groups having similar barcodes; and (d) homology-based search using Blast against a genome database for any selected genomic regions deemed to have interesting barcodes. The barcode server provides a job management capability, allowing processing of a large number of analysis jobs for barcode-based comparative genome analyses. The barcode server is accessible at http://csbl1.bmb.uga.edu/Barcode.

Project description:Copy number variation (CNV) is one of the most prevalent genetic variations in the genome, leading to an abnormal number of copies of moderate to large genomic regions. High-throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing often identify thousands of CNVs involved in biological or pathological processes. Despite the growing demand to filter and classify CNVs by factors such as frequency in population, biological features, and function, surprisingly, no online web server for CNV annotations has been made available to the research community. Here, we present CNVannotator, a web server that accepts an input set of human genomic positions in a user-friendly tabular format. CNVannotator can perform genomic overlaps of the input coordinates using various functional features, including a list of the reported 356,817 common CNVs, 181,261 disease CNVs, as well as, 140,342 SNPs from genome-wide association studies. In addition, CNVannotator incorporates 2,211,468 genomic features, including ENCODE regulatory elements, cytoband, segmental duplication, genome fragile site, pseudogene, promoter, enhancer, CpG island, and methylation site. For cancer research community users, CNVannotator can apply various filters to retrieve a subgroup of CNVs pinpointed in hundreds of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. In total, 5,277,234 unique genomic coordinates with functional features are available to generate an output in a plain text format that is free to download. In summary, we provide a comprehensive web resource for human CNVs. The annotated results along with the server can be accessed at http://bioinfo.mc.vanderbilt.edu/CNVannotator/.

Project description:SNPnexus is a web-based annotation tool for the analysis and interpretation of both known and novel sequencing variations. Since its last release, SNPnexus has received continual updates to expand the range and depth of annotations provided. SNPnexus has undergone a complete overhaul of the underlying infrastructure to accommodate faster computational times. The scope for data annotation has been substantially expanded to enhance biological interpretations of queried variants. This includes the addition of pathway analysis for the identification of enriched biological pathways and molecular processes. We have further expanded the range of user directed annotation fields available for the study of cancer sequencing data. These new additions facilitate investigations into cancer driver variants and targetable molecular alterations within input datasets. New user directed filtering options have been coupled with the addition of interactive graphical and visualization tools. These improvements streamline the analysis of variants derived from large sequencing datasets for the identification of biologically and clinically significant subsets in the data. SNPnexus is the most comprehensible web-based application currently available and these new set of updates ensures that it remains a state-of-the-art tool for researchers. SNPnexus is freely available at https://www.snp-nexus.org.

Project description:Experiments in which complex virome sequencing data is generated remain difficult to explore and unpack for scientists without a background in data science. The processing of raw sequencing data by high throughput sequencing workflows usually results in contigs in FASTA format coupled to an annotation file linking the contigs to a reference sequence or taxonomic identifier. The next step is to compare the virome of different samples based on the metadata of the experimental setup and extract sequences of interest that can be used in subsequent analyses. The viromeBrowser is an application written in the opensource R shiny framework that was developed in collaboration with end-users and is focused on three common data analysis steps. First, the application allows interactive filtering of annotations by default or custom quality thresholds. Next, multiple samples can be visualized to facilitate comparison of contig annotations based on sample specific metadata values. Last, the application makes it easy for users to extract sequences of interest in FASTA format. With the interactive features in the viromeBrowser we aim to enable scientists without a data science background to compare and extract annotation data and sequences from virome sequencing analysis results.
