The Gerstein lab has been a pioneer in applying network analysis to generate knowledge form large-scale experiments. To this end, we have developed a portal for our network research.

File:pseudogene.png‎
Pseudogene.org
Pseudogene.org is a collection of resources related to our efforts to survey eukaryotic genomes for pseudogene sequences, "pseudo-fold" usage, amino-acid composition, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to help elucidate the relationships between pseudogene families across several organisms.

Structural Variants (SV)

NameDescription

Structural Variants

Software that may be used to investigate Structural Variations (SVs) and Copy Number Variations (CNVs).

Data Sets

NameRelease DateDescription
BreakDB2009This database, which is part of the PEMer package, contains information about structural variants and associated breakpoints.

Evolution

NameRelease DateDescription
Coevolution analysis of protein residues2008An integrated online system that enables comparative analyses of residue coevolution with a comprehensive set of commonly used scoring functions, including statistical coupling analysis (SCA), explicit likelihood of subset variation (ELSC), mutual information and correlation-based methods.

Genome Technology

Gene Regulation

NameRelease DateDescription
Loregic2015Loregic is a computational method integrating gene expression and regulatory network data, to characterize the logical cooperativity of regulatory factors. Loregic uses all 16 possible two-input-one-output logic gates (e.g. AND or XOR) to describe triplets of two factors regulating a common target, and finds the gate that best matches each triplet’s observed gene expression pattern across many conditions. Using human ENCODE ChIP-Seq and TCGA RNA-Seq data, we are able to demonstrate how Loregic characterizes complex circuits involving both proximally and distally regulating transcription factors (TFs) and also miRNAs.

Allele-Specific Effects

NameRelease DateDescription
AlleleDB2016AlleleDB is an online resource for storing and visualizing allele-specific binding (ASB) and gene expression (ASE). Using variants from the 1000-Genomes Project and RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data from related projects, this resource serves as a repository for the catalog of ASB and ASE variants, associated genomic elements and personal genomes used in the study. AlleleDB also interfaces with the UCSC browser for visualization of results.
AlleleSeq2011AlleleSeq is a computational pipeline that is used to study allele-specific expression (ASE) and allele specific binding (ASB). The pipeline first constructs a diploid personal genome sequence, then maps RNA-seq and ChIP-seq functional genomic data onto this personal genome. Consequently, locations in which there are differences in number of mapped reads between maternally- and paternally-derived sequences can be identified, thereby providing evidence for allele-specific events.

ChIP-Seq

NameRelease DateDescription
MUSIC
Github repo
2014

MUSIC is an algorithm for identification of enriched regions at multiple scales in the read depth signals from ChIP-Seq experiments.

PeakSeq
Github repo
2009 A tool for calling peaks corresponding to transcription factor binding sites from ChIP-Seq data scored against a matched control such as input DNA. PeakSeq employs a two-pass strategy in which putative binding sites are first identified in order to compensate for genomic variation in the 'mappability' of sequences, before a second pass filters out sites not significantly enriched compared to the normalized control, computing precise enrichments and significances.

Functional Annotation

NameRelease DateDescription
FunSeq
- & -
FunSeq2 Github
2013FunSeq can be used to automatically score and annotate the disease-causing potential of SNVs, particularly those which are non-coding. It can be used on cancer and personal genomes. Additionally, FunSeq can detect recurrent annotation elements in non-coding regions when running with multiple genomes. FunSeq is available for download.
VAT
Github repo
2012 A computational framework to functionally annotate variants in personal genomes using a cloud-computing environment.

Microarrays & Proteomics

NameRelease DateDescription
MOTIPS2010MOTIPS employs an efficient search algorithm to scan a target proteome for potential domain targets and to increase the accuracy of each hit by integrating a variety of pre-computed features, such as conservation, surface propensity, and disorder.
PARE2007Protein Abundance and mRNA Expression (PARE) is a tool for comparing protein abundance and mRNA expression data. In addition to globally comparing the quantities of protein and mRNA, PARE allows users to select subsets of proteins for focused study (based on functional categories and complexes). Furthermore, it highlights correlation outliers, which may warrant further investigation.

RNA-Seq

NameRelease DateDescription
ACT2011The aggregation and correlation toolbox (ACT) is an efficient, multifaceted toolbox for analyzing continuous signal and discrete region tracks from high-throughput genomic experiments, such as RNA-seq or ChIP-chip signal profiles from the ENCODE and modENCODE projects, or lists of single nucleotide polymorphisms from the 1000 genomes project.
FusionSeq
Github repo
2010FusionSeq may be used to identify fusion transcripts from paired-end RNA-sequencing. FusionSeq includes filters to remove spurious candidate fusions with artifacts, such as misalignment or random pairing of transcript fragments, and it ranks candidates according to several statistics. It also includes a module to identify exact sequences at breakpoint junctions.
IQseq
Github repo
2012A tool for isoform quantification with RNA-seq data. Given isoform annotation and alignment of RNA-seq reads, it will use an EM algorithm to infer the most probable expression level for each isoform of a gene.
RSEQtools
Github repo
2011A suite of tools that use Mapped Read Format (MRF) for the analysis of RNA-Seq experiments. MRF is a compact data format that enables anonymization of confidential sequence information while maintaining the ability to conduct subsequent functional genomics studies. RSEQtools provides a suite of modules that convert to/from MRF data and perform common tasks such as calculating gene expression values, generating signal tracks of mapped reads, and segmenting that signal into actively transcribed regions.

tYNA2006(TopNet-like Yale Network Analyzer). A Web system for managing, comparing and mining multiple networks, both directed and undirected. tYNA efficiently implements methods that have proven useful in network analysis, including identifying defective cliques, finding small network motifs (such as feed-forward loops), calculating global statistics (such as the clustering coefficient and eccentricity), and identifying hubs and bottlenecks etc.
