SeqCalc: A portable bioinformatics software for sequence analysis.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Rapid genome sequencing enriched biological databases with enormous sequence data. Yet it remains a daunting task to unravel this information. However experimental and computational researchers lead their own way in analyzing sequence information. Here we introduce a standalone portable tool named "SeqCalc" that would assist the research personnel in computational sequence analysis and automated experimental calculations. Although several tools are available online for sequence analysis they serve only for one or two purposes. SeqCalc is a package of offline program, developed using Perl and TCL/Tk scripts that serve ten different applications. This tool would be an initiative to both experimental and computational researchers in their routine research. SeqCalc is executable in all windows operating systems. AVAILABILITY: SeqCalc can be freely downloaded at http://code.google.com/p/seqcalc.

Structure-Activity relationship in mutated pyrazinamidases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The pncA gene codes the pyrazinamidase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which converts pyrazinamide to ammonia and pyrazinoic-acid, the active antituberculous compound. Pyrazinamidase mutations are associated to pyrazinami...
In silico modeling of ligand molecule for non structural 3 (NS3) protein target of flaviviruses
Flaviviruses are small, enveloped RNA viruses which cause a variety of diseases into animals and man. Despite the existence of licensed vaccines, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis also claim...
Insights from the molecular docking of withanolide derivatives to the target protein PknG from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A crucial virulence factor for intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis survival is Protein kinase G (PknG), a eukaryotic-like serinethreonine protein kinase expressed by pathogenic mycobacteria that blocks the intracell...
Identification of Comamonas species using 16S rRNA gene sequence.
A bacterial strain Bz02 was isolated from a water sample collected from river Gomti at the Indian city of Lucknow. We characterized the strain using 16S rRNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strain formed...
Codon Usage Bias as a Function of Generation Time and Life Expectancy
It has recently been demonstrated that human natural codon usage bias is optimized towards a higher buffering capacity to mutations (measured as the tendency of single point mutations in a DNA sequence to yield the same...
