Sequence analysis IgSimulator: a versatile immunosequencing simulator

Motivation: The recent introduction of next-generation sequencing technologies to antibody studies have resulted in a growing number of immunoinformatics tools for antibody repertoire analysis. However, benchmarking these newly emerging tools remains problematic since the gold standard datasets that are needed to validate these tools are typically not available. Results: Since simulating antibo...

GraspIt!: A Versatile Simulator for Grasp Analysis

We have created a unique tool for grasp simulation, visualization, and analysis that allows a user to create and analyze grasps of a given 3D object model with a given articulated hand model. The grasps can be performed either automatically, where the system closes the fingers around the object at preset velocities, or manually through direct manipulation of the joints. As collisions occur betw...

Grinder: a versatile amplicon and shotgun sequence simulator

We introduce Grinder (http://sourceforge.net/projects/biogrinder/), an open-source bioinformatic tool to simulate amplicon and shotgun (genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic and metatranscriptomic) datasets from reference sequences. This is the first tool to simulate amplicon datasets (e.g. 16S rRNA) widely used by microbial ecologists. Grinder can create sequence libraries with a specific commu...
