IGIPT - Integrated genomic island prediction tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED IGIPT is a web-based integrated platform for the identification of genomic islands (GIs). It incorporates thirteen parametric measures based on anomalous nucleotide composition on a single platform, thus improving the predictive power of a horizontally acquired region, since it is known that no single measure can absolutely predict a horizontally transferred region. The tool filters putative GIs based on standard deviation from genomic average and also provides raw output in MS excel format for further analysis. To facilitate the identification of various structural features, viz., tRNA integration sites, repeats, etc. in the vicinity of GIs, the tool provides option to extract the predicted regions and its flanking regions. AVAILABILITY The database is available for free at http://bioinf.iiit.ac.in/IGIPT/

An Accurate Genomic Island Prediction Method for Sequenced Bacterial and Archaeal Genomes
A genomic island (GI) is a genomic segment in a host genome, and it was transferred from donor genomes. Since genomic islands (GIs) usually contain important genes such as pathogenicity genes, the detection of GIs becomes extremely critical to medical research and industrial applications. Previous computational GI detection tools used one or a few GI-associate features, and thus they suffered t...
متن کاملZisland Explorer: detect genomic islands by combining homogeneity and heterogeneity properties
Genomic islands are genomic fragments of alien origin in bacterial and archaeal genomes, usually involved in symbiosis or pathogenesis. In this work, we described Zisland Explorer, a novel tool to predict genomic islands based on the segmental cumulative GC profile. Zisland Explorer was designed with a novel strategy, as well as a combination of the homogeneity and heterogeneity of genomic sequ...

متن کاملIslandViewer: an integrated interface for computational identification and visualization of genomic islands
SUMMARY Genomic islands (clusters of genes of probable horizontal origin; GIs) play a critical role in medically important adaptations of bacteria. Recently, several computational methods have been developed to predict GIs that utilize either sequence composition bias or comparative genomics approaches. IslandViewer is a web accessible application that provides the first user-friendly interface...
