Tools for database data manipulation and analysis

 

appender

Given a path to a directory, this program appends all the files with the specified extension into one.
dbwise This program is a database "aid" for choosing a group of chimeras according to characteristics they have in common in terms of both amino acid sequence and phenotype.
highest_value This program finds the highest chi-square value for each permutation in a permutation analysis using “Qilin2”.
randomizer This program randomizes phenotypic data for permutation tests in the statistical analysis of DNA shuffling data.
stop_codon_finder   This program ensures that all the sequences in the protein  sequence file of the chimeras generated from DNA shuffling are full-length.
t_delim_fasta  This program puts tabs into a nucleotide sequence.
translator  This program is used for accurate and automated translation of nucleotide sequence into protein sequence of the Pto chimeras generated by DNA shuffling.
transposer This program makes a transpose of the n x m matrix.
qilin2 This SAS-based program uses univariate logistic regression (Hosmer and Lemeshow, 1989) at each amino acid position to determine whether variation at a particular position is associated with a phenotype.

qilin3

This program is used to identify which amino acids (or combinations of amino acids) are associated with a particular phenotype.
