SVA: software for annotating and visualizing sequenced human genomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Here we present Sequence Variant Analyzer (SVA), a software tool that assigns a predicted biological function to variants identified in next-generation sequencing studies and provides a browser to visualize the variants in their genomic contexts. SVA also provides for flexible interaction with software implementing variant association tests allowing users to consider both the bioinformatic annotation of identified variants and the strength of their associations with studied traits. We illustrate the annotation features of SVA using two simple examples of sequenced genomes that harbor Mendelian mutations. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Freely available on the web at http://www.svaproject.org.

Exon-trapping mediated by the human retrotransposon SVA.
Although most human retrotransposons are inactive, both inactive and active retrotransposons drive genome evolution and may influence transcription through various mechanisms. In humans, three retrotransposon families are still active, but one of these, SVA, remains mysterious. Here we report the identification of a new subfamily of SVA, which apparently formed after an alternative splicing eve...
متن کاملRASTtk: A modular and extensible implementation of the RAST algorithm for building custom annotation pipelines and annotating batches of genomes
The RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) annotation engine was built in 2008 to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes. It works by offering a standard software pipeline for identifying genomic features (i.e., protein-encoding genes and RNA) and annotating their functions. Recently, in order to make RAST a more useful research tool and to keep pace with advancements in bioinforma...
متن کاملA Web-based High-Throughput Tool for Next-Generation Sequence Annotation
The availability of a large number of genome sequences, resulting from inexpensive, high-throughput next-generation sequencing platforms, has created the need for an integrated, fully-automated, rapid, and high-throughput annotation capability that is also easy-to-use. Here, we present a web-based software application, Annotation of Genome Sequences (AGeS), which incorporates publicly-available...
متن کاملIntegrating networks and comparative genomics reveals retroelement proliferation dynamics in hominid genomes
Retroelements (REs) are mobile DNA sequences that multiply and spread throughout genomes by a copy-and-paste mechanism. These parasitic elements are active in diverse genomes, from yeast to humans, where they promote diversity, cause disease, and accelerate evolution. Because of their high copy number and sequence similarity, studying their activity and tracking their proliferation dynamics is ...
متن کاملBRASERO: A Resource for Benchmarking RNA Secondary Structure Comparison Algorithms
The pairwise comparison of RNA secondary structures is a fundamental problem, with direct application in mining databases for annotating putative noncoding RNA candidates in newly sequenced genomes. An increasing number of software tools are available for comparing RNA secondary structures, based on different models (such as ordered trees or forests, arc annotated sequences, and multilevel tree...
