Excavator 2.0

Excavator 2.0 website
Excavator is a computer software program for gene expression data clustering. It uses a set of unique clustering algorithms developed by the Computational Systems Biology Lab (CSBL) at the University of Georgia. Excavator represents data internally as a minimum spanning tree and outputs results to the user through the use of a micro-array data window, graphs, and a dendrogram viewer.

Cubic

Online Description

Cubic is a tool developed by the Computational Systems Biology Laboratory at the University of Georgia to be used for protein binding site prediction. Cubic was originally developed by Dr. Victor Olman and then was further developed and optimized (upto 10 times speedup on single-CPU machines) by Dr. Jizhu Lu. Cubic accepts up-stream sequences and a few other parameters as input and generates a set of binding sites and their statistical significance as output.

JCUBIC is a Java-based GUI for CUBIC program which can be used for transcription factor binding site prediction.

Jpop

JPOP (Joint Prediction of Operons) program JPOP is a set of java programs and Mathlab scripts to aid in the prediction of operon structures. JPOP integrates three sources of genomic information to predict operon structures in a sequenced genome:

1) COG (cluster of orthologs) assignments;
2) Phylogenetic profiles of genes;
3) Intergenic distances between gene pairs.

DOMAINPARSER2

DomainParser uses a new algorithm for the decomposition of a multi-domain protein into individual structural domains. The underlying principle used is that residue-residue contacts are denser within a domain than between domains. We have formulated the domain decomposition problem as a network flow problem, in which each residue is represented as a node of a network and each residue-residue contact is represented as an edge with a particular capacity, depending on the type of the contact. A two-domain decomposition problem is solved by finding a cut of the network, which minimizes the total cross-edge capacity (minimum cut).

RDC Prospect
RDC-PROSPECT is a computer program for protein structure prediction based on a structural homolog or analog of the target protein in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), which best aligns with the 15N-1H RDC data of the protein recorded in a single ordering medium. It uses only RDC data and predicted secondary structure information. Threading is performed against SCOP 40 structure database (currently v1.65, release of Dec, 2003). The alignment and Z-score for the top 20 ranked templates are reported in the output file.
