Biosciences Software available at OSC

Amber - a molecular simulation program

bioperl - offers a set of perl modules which can be used for sequence manipulation

BLAST - tools for searching DNA and protein databases for sequence similarity to identify homologs to a query sequence

BLAT - a sequence analysis tool which performs rapid mRNA/DNA and cross-species protein alignments

bowtie - an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner geared toward quickly aligning large sets of short DNA sequences (reads) to large genomes. 

ClustalW - a general purpose multiple sequence alignment program for DNA or proteins

EMBOSS - a sequence analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology user community

fitmodel - a program that estimates the parameters of various codon-based models of substitution

HMMER - profile HMMs for protein sequence analysis

MrBayes - a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogeny

NAMD - a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems

Partek Pro* - an integrated, scalable software environment capable of analysis and transformation of millions of records or millions of variables

PAUP -- a leading program for performing phylogenetic analysis for bioinformatics sequences

RAxML - a fast implementation of maximum-likelihood phylogeny estimation that operates on both nucleotide and protein sequence alignments

RECON - a package that performs de novo identification and classification of repeat sequence families from genomic sequences

RepeatMasker - a program that screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences

Stata - a complete, integrated statistical package that provides everything needed for data analysis, data management, and graphics
