Circos is a software package for visualizing data and information. It visualizes data in a circular layout — this makes Circos ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions. Although originally designed for visualizing genomic data, it can create figures from data in any field. It requires PERL software language. Registration not required.

The GSEA algorithm implemented in MeV is a computational method that determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically significant, concordant differences between two biological states (e.g. phenotypes). GSEA software uses the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB), a collection of annotated gene sets. Registration required.

Cufflinks assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set of transcripts. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these transcripts based on how many reads support each one, taking into account biases in library preparation protocols. It runs on Intel-based computers running Linux or Mac OS X and that have GCC 4.0 or greater installed. It requires SAMtools. Registration not required.

TopHat is a Linux or OS X program that aligns RNA-Seq reads to a genome in order to identify exon-exon splice junctions. It is designed to work with reads produced by the Illumina Genome Analyzer, although it was successful used with reads from other technologies. TopHat aligns RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to identify splice junctions between exons. It requires Bowtie, SAMtools an Python programming language v. 2.4 or higher in the computer path. Registration not required.

The Rat Genome Database (RGD) is a collaborative effort between leading research institutions involved in rat genetic and genomic research. Its goal is the establishment of a Rat Genome Database, to collect, consolidate, and integrate data generated from ongoing rat genetic and genomic research efforts and make these data widely available to the scientific community. A secondary, but critical goal is to provide curation of mapped positions for quantitative trait loci, known mutations and other phenotypic data. RGD was created to serve as a repository of rat genetic and genomic data, as well as mapping, strain, and physiological information. It also facilitates investigators research efforts by providing tools to search, mine, and analyze this data. Registration not required.

OligoAnalyzer is a web application from IDT that provides the opportunity to analyze hairpin and self-dimer of existing primers this site. Moreover this site allows you to BLAST the sequence against NCBI's database and measure the impact of incorporating 5'-modifications into the sequence. The oligos can then be ordered directly. Registration not required.
