A new interface, SPRINT, allows statistical analyses written in the R programming language to be run on high performance computing systems without the need for specialist programming to exploit parallel processors.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :557
SimHap GUI can integrate epidemiological, single nucleotide polymorphism and haplotype-based genetic association analyses through a graphical user interface, making it accessible to both novice and advanced users as a free alternative to commercially available packages.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :528
Gene Prospector, an online software tool that collates information from the ever-growing scientific literature on the human genome, enables the exploration of how inherited genetic variation and genetic interactions contribute to disease.
BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9 :514
The ElliPro software predicts and visualizes B-cell epitopes by implementing Thorntons simple method that uses geometrical properties of protein structures, outperforming six other structure-based methods without needing any training.
