Fasta-O-Matic: a tool to sanity check and if needed reformat FASTA files
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: As the sheer volume of bioinformatic sequence data increases, the only way to take advantage of this content is to more completely automate robust analysis workflows. Analysis bottlenecks are often mundane and overlooked processing steps. Idiosyncrasies in reading and/or writing bioinformatics file formats can halt or impair analysis workflows by interfering with the transfer of data from one informatics tools to another.

MFCompress: a compression tool for FASTA and multi-FASTA data
MOTIVATION The data deluge phenomenon is becoming a serious problem in most genomic centers. To alleviate it, general purpose tools, such as gzip, are used to compress the data. However, although pervasive and easy to use, these tools fall short when the intention is to reduce as much as possible the data, for example, for medium- and long-term storage. A number of algorithms have been proposed...
متن کاملVisual BLAST and visual FASTA: graphic workbenches for interactive analysis of full BLAST and FASTA outputs under Microsoft Windows 95/NT
MOTIVATION When routinely analysing protein sequences, detailed analysis of database search results made with BLAST and FASTA becomes exceedingly time consuming and tedious work, as the resultant file may contain a list of hundreds of potential homologies. The interpretation of these results is usually carried out with a text editor which is not a convenient tool for this analysis. In addition,...
متن کاملProteomics FASTA archive and reference resource.
A FASTA file archive and reference resource has been added to ProteomeCommons.org. Motivation for this new functionality derives from two primary sources. The first is the recent FASTA standardization work done by the Human Proteome Organization's Proteomics Standards Initiative (HUPO-PSI). Second is the general lack of a uniform mechanism to properly cite FASTA files used in a study, and to pu...
متن کاملA Computation Tool for the Estimation of Biomass Composition from Genomic and Transcriptomic Information
Given the great potential impact of the growing number of complete genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions of microorganisms, bioinformatics tools are needed to simplify and accelerate the course of knowledge in this field. One essential component of a genomescale metabolic model is its biomass equation, whose maximization is one of the most common objective functions used in Flux Balanc...
متن کاملmkESA: enhanced suffix array construction tool
We introduce the tool mkESA, an open source program for constructing enhanced suffix arrays (ESAs), striving for low memory consumption, yet high practical speed. mkESA is a user-friendly program written in portable C99, based on a parallelized version of the Deep-Shallow suffix array construction algorithm, which is known for its high speed and small memory usage. The tool handles large FASTA ...
