FASTAptameR 2.0: A web tool for combinatorial sequence selections.

ABSTRACT: Combinatorial selections are powerful strategies for identifying biopolymers with specific biological, biomedical, or chemical characteristics. Unfortunately, most available software tools for high-throughput sequencing analysis have high entrance barriers for many users because they require extensive programming expertise. FASTAptameR 2.0 is an R-based reimplementation of FASTAptamer designed to minimize this barrier while maintaining the ability to answer complex sequence-level and population-level questions. This open-source toolkit features a user-friendly web tool, interactive graphics, up to 100 times faster clustering, an expanded module set, and an extensive user guide. FASTAptameR 2.0 accepts diverse input polymer types and can be applied to any sequence-encoded selection.

FASTAptamer: A Bioinformatic Toolkit for High-throughput Sequence Analysis of Combinatorial Selections.

Project description:High-throughput sequence (HTS) analysis of combinatorial selection populations accelerates lead discovery and optimization and offers dynamic insight into selection processes. An underlying principle is that selection enriches high-fitness sequences as a fraction of the population, whereas low-fitness sequences are depleted. HTS analysis readily provides the requisite numerical information by tracking the evolutionary trajectory of individual sequences in response to selection pressures. Unlike genomic data, for which a number of software solutions exist, user-friendly tools are not readily available for the combinatorial selections field, leading many users to create custom software. FASTAptamer was designed to address the sequence-level analysis needs of the field. The open source FASTAptamer toolkit counts, normalizes and ranks read counts in a FASTQ file, compares populations for sequence distribution, generates clusters of sequence families, calculates fold-enrichment of sequences throughout the course of a selection and searches for degenerate sequence motifs. While originally designed for aptamer selections, FASTAptamer can be applied to any selection strategy that can utilize next-generation DNA sequencing, such as ribozyme or deoxyribozyme selections, in vivo mutagenesis and various surface display technologies (peptide, antibody fragment, mRNA, etc.). FASTAptamer software, sample data and a user's guide are available for download at http://burkelab.missouri.edu/fastaptamer.html.

Teaching Web 2.0 technologies using Web 2.0 technologies.

Project description:ObjectivesThe research evaluated participant satisfaction with the content and format of the "Web 2.0 101: Introduction to Second Generation Web Tools" course and measured the impact of the course on participants' self-evaluated knowledge of Web 2.0 tools.MethodsThe "Web 2.0 101" online course was based loosely on the Learning 2.0 model. Content was provided through a course blog and covered a wide range of Web 2.0 tools. All Medical Library Association members were invited to participate. Participants were asked to complete a post-course survey. Respondents who completed the entire course or who completed part of the course self-evaluated their knowledge of nine social software tools and concepts prior to and after the course using a Likert scale. Additional qualitative information about course strengths and weaknesses was also gathered.ResultsRespondents' self-ratings showed a significant change in perceived knowledge for each tool, using a matched pair Wilcoxon signed rank analysis (P<0.0001 for each tool/concept). Overall satisfaction with the course appeared high. Hands-on exercises were the most frequently identified strength of the course; the length and time-consuming nature of the course were considered weaknesses by some.ConclusionLearning 2.0-style courses, though demanding time and self-motivation from participants, can increase knowledge of Web 2.0 tools.

WEGO 2.0: a web tool for analyzing and plotting GO annotations, 2018 update.

Project description:WEGO (Web Gene Ontology Annotation Plot), created in 2006, is a simple but useful tool for visualizing, comparing and plotting GO (Gene Ontology) annotation results. Owing largely to the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing and the increasing acceptance of GO, WEGO has benefitted from outstanding performance regarding the number of users and citations in recent years, which motivated us to update to version 2.0. WEGO uses the GO annotation results as input. Based on GO's standardized DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) structured vocabulary system, the number of genes corresponding to each GO ID is calculated and shown in a graphical format. WEGO 2.0 updates have targeted four aspects, aiming to provide a more efficient and up-to-date approach for comparative genomic analyses. First, the number of input files, previously limited to three, is now unlimited, allowing WEGO to analyze multiple datasets. Also added in this version are the reference datasets of nine model species that can be adopted as baselines in genomic comparative analyses. Furthermore, in the analyzing processes each Chi-square test is carried out for multiple datasets instead of every two samples. At last, WEGO 2.0 provides an additional output graph along with the traditional WEGO histogram, displaying the sorted P-values of GO terms and indicating their significant differences. At the same time, WEGO 2.0 features an entirely new user interface. WEGO is available for free at http://wego.genomics.org.cn.

Disulfide by Design 2.0: a web-based tool for disulfide engineering in proteins.

Project description:BackgroundDisulfide engineering is an important biotechnological tool that has advanced a wide range of research. The introduction of novel disulfide bonds into proteins has been used extensively to improve protein stability, modify functional characteristics, and to assist in the study of protein dynamics. Successful use of this technology is greatly enhanced by software that can predict pairs of residues that will likely form a disulfide bond if mutated to cysteines.ResultsWe had previously developed and distributed software for this purpose: Disulfide by Design (DbD). The original DbD program has been widely used; however, it has a number of limitations including a Windows platform dependency. Here, we introduce Disulfide by Design 2.0 (DbD2), a web-based, platform-independent application that significantly extends functionality, visualization, and analysis capabilities beyond the original program. Among the enhancements to the software is the ability to analyze the B-factor of protein regions involved in predicted disulfide bonds. Importantly, this feature facilitates the identification of potential disulfides that are not only likely to form but are also expected to provide improved thermal stability to the protein.ConclusionsDbD2 provides platform-independent access and significantly extends the original functionality of DbD. A web server hosting DbD2 is provided at http://cptweb.cpt.wayne.edu/DbD2/.

CoLiDe: Combinatorial Library Design tool for probing protein sequence space.

Project description:MotivationCurrent techniques of protein engineering focus mostly on re-designing small targeted regions or defined structural scaffolds rather than constructing combinatorial libraries of versatile compositions and lengths. This is a missed opportunity because combinatorial libraries are emerging as a vital source of novel functional proteins and are of interest in diverse research areas.ResultsHere, we present a computational tool for Combinatorial Library Design (CoLiDe) offering precise control over protein sequence composition, length and diversity. The algorithm uses evolutionary approach to provide solutions to combinatorial libraries of degenerate DNA templates. We demonstrate its performance and precision using four different input alphabet distribution on different sequence lengths. In addition, a model design and experimental pipeline for protein library expression and purification is presented, providing a proof-of-concept that our protocol can be used to prepare purified protein library samples of up to 1011-1012 unique sequences. CoLiDe presents a composition-centric approach to protein design towards different functional phenomena.Availabilityand implementationCoLiDe is implemented in Python and freely available at https://github.com/voracva1/CoLiDe.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

ParSe 2.0: A web tool to identify drivers of protein phase separation at the proteome level.

Project description:We have developed an algorithm, ParSe, which accurately identifies from the primary sequence those protein regions likely to exhibit physiological phase separation behavior. Originally, ParSe was designed to test the hypothesis that, for flexible proteins, phase separation potential is correlated to hydrodynamic size. While our results were consistent with that idea, we also found that many different descriptors could successfully differentiate between three classes of protein regions: folded, intrinsically disordered, and phase-separating intrinsically disordered. Consequently, numerous combinations of amino acid property scales can be used to make robust predictions of protein phase separation. Built from that finding, ParSe 2.0 uses an optimal set of property scales to predict domain-level organization and compute a sequence-based prediction of phase separation potential. The algorithm is fast enough to scan the whole of the human proteome in minutes on a single computer and is equally or more accurate than other published predictors in identifying proteins and regions within proteins that drive phase separation. Here, we describe a web application for ParSe 2.0 that may be accessed through a browser by visiting https://stevewhitten.github.io/Parse_v2_FASTA to quickly identify phase-separating proteins within large sequence sets, or by visiting https://stevewhitten.github.io/Parse_v2_web to evaluate individual protein sequences.

GPCR-SSFE 2.0-a fragment-based molecular modeling web tool for Class A G-protein coupled receptors.

Project description:G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key players in signal transduction and therefore a large proportion of pharmaceutical drugs target these receptors. Structural data of GPCRs are sparse yet important for elucidating the molecular basis of GPCR-related diseases and for performing structure-based drug design. To ameliorate this problem, GPCR-SSFE 2.0 (http://www.ssfa-7tmr.de/ssfe2/), an intuitive web server dedicated to providing three-dimensional Class A GPCR homology models has been developed. The updated web server includes 27 inactive template structures and incorporates various new functionalities. Uniquely, it uses a fingerprint correlation scoring strategy for identifying the optimal templates, which we demonstrate captures structural features that sequence similarity alone is unable to do. Template selection is carried out separately for each helix, allowing both single-template models and fragment-based models to be built. Additionally, GPCR-SSFE 2.0 stores a comprehensive set of pre-calculated and downloadable homology models and also incorporates interactive loop modeling using the tool SL2, allowing knowledge-based input by the user to guide the selection process. For visual analysis, the NGL viewer is embedded into the result pages. Finally, blind-testing using two recently published structures shows that GPCR-SSFE 2.0 performs comparably or better than other state-of-the art GPCR modeling web servers.

FSTVAL: a new web tool to validate bulk flanking sequence tags.

Project description:BackgroundInformation about a transgene locus is one of the major concerns in transgenic research because expression of the transgene or a gene interrupted by the integration event could be affected. Thus, the flanking sequences obtained from transgenic plants need to be analyzed in terms of genomic context, such as genic and intergenic regions. This process may consist of several steps: 1) elimination of a vector sequence from the flanking sequence, 2) finding the locations in the target genome, and 3) statistics of the integration sites. These steps could be automated for flanking sequences from several dozens of transgenic plants generated in an ordinary targeted gene expression strategy. It would be indispensable in a genome-wide mutagenesis screen using T-DNA or transposons because these projects often generate several thousands of transgenic lines and just as many loci of the transgene among the transgenic plants.ResultsWe present an open access web tool, flanking sequence tags validator (FSTVAL), to manage bulk flanking sequence tags (FSTs). FSTVAL automatically evaluates the FSTs and finds the best mapping positions of the FST against a known genome sequence. The statistics, in terms of genic and intergenic regions, are presented as a table, a distribution map, and a frequency graph along the chromosomes. Currently, 17 plant genome sequences, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, and Glycine max, are available as reference genomes. We evaluated the utility and accuracy of the tool with 5,144 rice FSTs. The whole process, from uploading the sequences to generating tables of insertions, required a few minutes, with less than 4 clicks in the web environment.ConclusionsRun for 1 year and tested over 1,000 times, we have confirmed FSTVAL efficiently handles bulk FSTs. FSTVAL is freely available without login at http://bioinfo.mju.ac.kr/fstval/.

iBench Ground Truth Validation Tool 2.0

Project description:iBench is an open-source tool that provides enhanced validation of Mass Spectrometry identification methods. In this updated version, iBench 2.0 takes high confidence peptide identifications from previously measured MS data and embeds the sequences in an in silico-only proteome as spliced or non-spliced peptides. The MS data can then be reanalyzed with the modified proteome, thereby representing a (pseudo) ground truth dataset, to enable benchmarking of an identification method. In particular, precision-recall curves are generated, comparing the fraction of PSMs identified which are correct and the fraction of all PSMs assigned by a method.Reference to this dataset:Soh WT, Roetschke HP, Cormican JA, Teo BF, Chiam NC, Raabe M, Pflanz R, Henneberg F, Becker S, Chari A, Liu H, Urlaub H, Liepe J, Mishto M.
