ArtemisHomepage: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Artemis/Version: Release 6 License: GPL Description: Description: Artemis is a free genome viewer and annotation tool that allows visualization of sequence features and the results of analyses within the context of the sequence, and its six-frame translation. It can read complete EMBL and GENBANK database entries or sequence in FASTA or raw format. Extra sequence features can be in EMBL, GENBANK or GFF format. Online Manual FAQs Examples BioperlHomepage: http://www.bioperl.org/Version: 1.4 License: Artisitc Description: The Bioperl project is a coordinated effort to collect computational methods routinely used in bioinformatics into a set of standard CPAN-style, well-documented, and freely available Perl modules. Tutorial FAQs ClustalXHomepage: http://www-igbmc.u-strasbg.fr/BioInfo/ClustalX/Top.htmlVersion: 1.83 License: click here Description: Clustal X is a graphical interface for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program. It provides an integrated environment for performing multiple sequence and profile alignments and analyzing the results. The sequence alignment is displayed in a window on the screen. A versatile coloring scheme has been incorporated allowing you to highlight conserved features in the alignment. The pull-down menus at the top of the window allow you to select all the options required for traditional multiple sequence and profile alignment. User can cut-and-paste sequences to change the order of the alignment; you can select a subset of sequences to be aligned; you can select a sub-range of the alignment to be realigned and inserted back into the original alignment. Alignment quality analysis can be performed and low-scoring segments or exceptional residues can be highlighted. Cn3DHomepage: http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Structure/CN3D/cn3d.shtmlVersion: 3.0 License: Click here Description: Cn3D is a helper application for your web browser that allows you to view 3-dimensional structures from NCBI's Entrez retrieval service. Cn3D runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Unix. Cn3D simultaneously displays structure, sequence, and alignment, and now has powerful annotation and alignment editing features.

Its friendly GUI is suitable for beginners. GlimmerHomepage: http://www.tigr.org/software/glimmer/Version: 2.13 License: Artistic Description: Glimmer is a system for finding genes in microbial DNA, especially the genomes of bacteria, archaea, and viruses. Glimmer (Gene Locator and Interpolated Markov Modeler) uses interpolated Markov models (IMMs) to identify the coding regions and distinguish them from noncoding DNA. The IMM approach uses a combination of Markov models from 1st through 8th-order, weighting each model according to its predictive power. Glimmer use 3-periodic nonhomogenous Markov models in their IMMs. GROMACSHomepage: http://www.gromacs.org/Version: 3.2.1 License: GPL Description: GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins and lipids that have a lot of complicated bonded interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations) many groups are also using it for research on non-biological systems, e.g. polymers. Online Manual Tutorials FAQs GP/ArkaHomepage: http://bioinformatics.org/genpak/index.htmlVersion: GP 0.26, Arka 0.11 License: GPL Description: GP and Arka are very leightweighed programs for manipulation of DNA/RNA/protein sequences. They are designed on one hand to run smoothly on older machines, and on the other -- to faciliate processing of large numbers of sequence/data files. GP includes utilities to convert DNA/RNA to protein, determine codon usage/GC contents, promotor searches, Tm, searching for restriction sites, converting sequences into numerical representations and much more. GP is a set of small utilities written in ANSI C to manipulate DNA sequences in a Unix fashion, fit for combining within shell and cgi scripts. Arka is a program that serves as a graphical interface for the programs from the GP package. MUMmerHomepage: http://www.tigr.org/software/mummer/Version: 3.15 License: Artistic Description: MUMmer is a system for rapidly aligning entire genomes, whether in complete or draft form. For example, MUMmer 3.0 can find all 20-basepair or longer exact matches between a pair of 5-megabase genomes in 13.7 seconds, using 78 MB of memory, on a 2.4 GHz Linux desktop computer. MUMmer can also align incomplete genomes; it handles the 100s or 1000s of contigs from a shotgun sequencing project with ease, and will align them to another set of contigs or a genome using the NUCmer program included with the system. If the species are too divergent for DNA sequence alignment to detect similarity, then the PROmer program can generate alignments based upon the six-frame translations of both input sequences. Manual NCBI ToolkitReference Web-site: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/Version: 6.1.20041020-2 License: Click here Description: The NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) Software Development Toolkit was developed for the production and distribution of GenBank, Entrez, BLAST, and related services by NCBI. NJPlotHomepage: http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/software/njplot.htmlVersion: 0.20030331-1 License: Artistic Description: NJplot is able to draw any binary tree expressed in the standard phylogenetic tree format (e.g., the format used by the Phylip package). NJplot is especially convenient for rooting the unrooted trees obtained from parsimony, distance or maximum likelihood tree-building methods.
