Sequence analysis

• Alfresco - FRont-End for Sequence COmparison
• Alien_hunter - an application for the prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events with the implementation of Interpolated Variable Order Motifs (IVOMs)
• AMELIA - a program that employs an allele-matching approach that is robust to the presence of both directions of effect for variants within the locus analysed
• ARIEL - analysis software that employs a locus-wide regression-based collapsing approach that incorporates variant quality scores
• AutoCSA (Automatic Comparative Sequence Analysis) - mutation detection program designed to detect small mutations (1-50 bases) in sequence traces
• BioView - a suite of tools for generating lightweight chromatogram images from any trace file that can be cast as a biojava chromatogram interface

• ESGI - information about bioinformatics and computational tools available for the analysis of high-throughput genomic data
• Est_DB - 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
• GWAVA - A functional annotation tool for non-coding sequence variation
• Hexamer - scans for likely coding regions using 6-mers but without deriving information from base composition
• Image - a package of analysis algorithms for processing gel images from restriction digest fingerprinting experiments
• KATE - a program that analyses the effects of low frequency and rare variants on quantitative traits within a chromosomal region
• Logomat-M - a method to graphically visualise all central aspects of profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs), thus generalizing the concept of sequence logos
• Margarita - infers genealogies from population genotype data and uses these to map disease loci
• NestedMICA - a method for discovering over-represented short motifs in large sets of strings, for example in finding transcription-factor-binding sites in DNA sequences
• PICNIC - an algorithm designed to identify copy number segments and genotypes in cancer using a SNP6 'cel' file as input
• RetroSeq - Transposable element discovery from next-generation sequencing data

As a leading genomics centre, the Sanger Institute often needs to develop software solutions to novel biological problems.

All our software is made available to the research community and is open access, recognising that community improvement is essential to maximising efficiencies in software development.
