Title: eMPRess: a systematic cophylogeny reconciliation tool
Abstract Summary We describe eMPRess, a software program for phylogenetic tree reconciliation under the duplication-transfer-loss model that systematically addresses the problems of choosing event costs and selecting representative solutions, enabling users to make more robust inferences. Availability and implementation eMPRess is freely available at http://www.cs.hmc.edu/empress. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.  more » « less

    Abstract Summary We present StochSS Live!, a web-based service for modeling, simulation and analysis of a wide range of mathematical, biological and biochemical systems. Using an epidemiological model of COVID-19, we demonstrate the power of StochSS Live! to enable researchers to quickly develop a deterministic or a discrete stochastic model, infer its parameters and analyze the results. Availability and implementation StochSS Live! is freely available at https://live.stochss.org/ Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

    Abstract Summary Here, we introduce SNIKT, a command-line tool for sequence-independent visual confirmation and input-assisted removal of adapter contamination in whole-genome shotgun or metagenomic shotgun long-read sequencing DNA or RNA data. Availability and Implementation SNIKT is implemented in R and is compatible with Unix-like platforms. The source code, along with documentation, is freely available under an MIT license at https://github.com/piyuranjan/SNIKT. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

    Abstract Summary Ribbon is an alignment visualization tool that shows how alignments are positioned within both the reference and read contexts, giving an intuitive view that enables a better understanding of structural variants and the read evidence supporting them. Ribbon was born out of a need to curate complex structural variant calls and determine whether each was well supported by long-read evidence, and it uses the same intuitive visualization method to shed light on contig alignments from genome-to-genome comparisons. Availability and implementation Ribbon is freely available online at http://genomeribbon.com/ and is open-source at https://github.com/marianattestad/ribbon. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

  5. Abstract SummaryTranscription factors (TFs) are proteins that directly interpret the genome to regulate gene expression and determine cellular phenotypes. TF identification is a common first step in unraveling gene regulatory networks. We present CREPE, an R Shiny app to catalogue and annotate TFs. CREPE was benchmarked against curated human TF datasets. Next, we use CREPE to explore the TF repertoires of Heliconius erato and Heliconius melpomene butterflies. Availability and implementationCREPE is available as a Shiny app package available at GitHub (github.com/dirostri/CREPE). Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics Advances online.
