-Pkg-Description: lightweight Distributed Annotation System (DAS) server
- The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) is a data exchange protocol
- for open sharing of biological information.
- .
- ProServer is a very lightweight DAS server written in Perl. It is
- simple to install and configure and has existing adaptors for a wide
- variety of data sources. It is also easily extensible allowing
- adaptors to be written for other data sources. More information about
- the DAS protocol and what it is useful for is available over at
- http://biodas.org.
- .
- New large scale techniques in biology are producing a rapidly growing
- amount of public available data. Centralized database resources are
- confronted with the task how to scale their storage facilities, how
- to manage frequent updates and how to exchange the data with the
- community.
- .
- The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) addresses these issues. It is
- frequently being used to openly exchange biological annotations
- between distributed sites. Data distribution, performed by DAS
- servers, is separated from visualization, which is done by DAS
- clients.
- .
- DAS is a client-server system in which a client like Ensembl
- integrates information from multiple servers. It allows a single
- machine to gather up genome annotation information from multiple
- distant web sites, collate the information, and display it to the
- user in a single view. Little coordination is needed among the
- various information providers.
- .
- DAS is heavily used in the genome bioinformatics community. Over the
- last years we have also seen growing acceptance in the protein
- sequence and structure communities.

-Pkg-Description: Distributed Annotation System (DAS) client
- The Distributed Annotation System (DAS) is a data exchange protocol
- for open sharing of biological information.
- .
- SPICE is a browser for protein sequences, structures and their
- annotations. It can display annotations for PDB, UniProt and Ensembl
- Peptides. All data is retrieved from different sites on the Internet,
- that make their annotations available using the DAS protocol. It is
- possible to add new annotations to SPICE, and to compare them with
- the already available information.

-Pkg-Description: tracks duplications and deletions of DNA in patients
- DECIPHER tracks submicroscopic duplications and deletions of DNA in
- patients together with phenotypes exhibited by those
- patients. DECIPHER tallies these genetic abnormalities with genes and
- other features of interest in the affected areas. The aim of DECIPHER
- is to provide a research tool to aid clinical diagnosis and treatment
- of these conditions. DECIPHER makes use of DAS technology to
- integrate with Ensembl, the world's leading genome browser.

-Recommends: est-db
-Homepage: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/analysis/est_db/
-License: Artistic
-Pkg-Description: Software suite for expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing
- The est_db package is a software suite and database system designed
- to support expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing projects, and to
- provide comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of sequenced EST
- libraries, for gene discovery and other purposes. The database can
- hold and efficiently process hundreds of thousands of EST sequences,
- track the cDNA libraries and clones to which they belong, and store
- the results of their analysis. Should they be available, large
- compute farms can be used for the analysis.
- .
- Extensive bioinformatic analysis can be carried out on the sequenced
- EST libraries, including similarity (BLAST) searches, protein
- sequence prediction, and the import of EST clustering and assembly
- data from external sources. Results are searchable via a web page,
- with graphic output of the various analyses, enabling one to retrieve
- information pertaining to a particular cDNA clone, or EST read, as
- well as view EST clustering results, or graphical representations of
- BLAST results on the searched EST sequences.
- .
- The est_db package is likely to appeal not only to sequencing groups
- directly employed in EST sequencing, but also to groups interested in
- performing bespoke analysis of ESTs that may already be publically
- available, in order to support their ongoing research aims. The
- package is easily-extensible, via an API designed specifically to
- handle ESTs and their analysis. It is open source and is made
- available free of charge, and, where possible, similarly
- open-licensed components have been used in its development.

-License: To be clarified
-Pkg-Description: sequence homology searching
- The FINEX program allows sequence homology searching techniques to be
- applied, where the sequence data is replaced with a fingerprint
- abstracted from the intron/exon boundary phase and the exon length.
- .
- Please note FINEX is no longer supported but is available for
- download.

-Recommends: hexamer
-Homepage: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/analysis/hexamer/
-License: GPL
-Pkg-Description: scan DNA sequences to look for likely coding regions
- Hexamer is a program to scan DNA sequences to look for likely coding
- regions. The principle is to use 6mers, but to avoid deriving any
- information from base composition. Therefore, the frequencies of each
- 6mer are normalized by dividing by the total frequency of all 6mers
- with the same base composition.
- .
- There are two programs involved in this process:
-  * hextable
-    hextable makes files of statistics that hexamer uses to scan for
-    likely coding regions.
-    The input of hextable is a fasta file of coding sequences in
-    frame.  The -o file output is an ascii list of 4096 floating point
-    numbers giving log likelihood ratio scores in bits.  The output on
-    stdout is a summary of the information content of the table,
-    indicating how disriminative it is likely to be.
-  * hexamer
-    Uses the .hex file from hextable to scan a DNA sequence for likely
-    coding regions.
-    The input is a fasta DNA file (n.b. that these programs assume all
-    'a','c','g','t'. 'n's found in the sequence files will be
-    converted to 'c'.
-    The output of hexamer is in General Feature Format (GFF) format.
