Code and services

PrIME
Bayesian estimation of gene family phylogenies and duplication/loss parameters, et.c., with a species tree used as prior information.
PrIMETV
A novel tool for visualizing gene family evolution within a species phylogeny. (Previously known as "DART", a name collision forced a new name.)
Excap
Choosing informative markers in DNA sequences.
modelestimator
Estimate your own amino acid rate matrices and produce output for PAML and FASTA. This program implements a robust method which is described in a JME paper.
LAPD
Estimate pairwise protein distances using a range of models and methods. Compatible with Phylip and modelestimator.
BootFam
Delineate gene/protein families and compute bootstrap support-values for the predictions.
Web RefSense.
Formerly known as Biblio, this is an alternative interface to PubMed that supports output in BibTeX and HTML format, automatic web searches, emailing links with citations, and more. Similar alternatives include HubMed, TexMed, BibPubMed, or the BioInfoBank Library.

The code for this web site is available in the repository for RefSense at GitHub.

RefSense
For those who rather use shell tools than web services, I have brought some of the features from Web RefSense over in a set of scripts. You can now easily have PubMed at your fingertips by using RefSense.
ProgressBar
Have you ever wanted to monitor the progress of a big computation? I have wanted to avoid having a terminal window occupied by scrolling numbers and what-not. This simple script gives you a typical graphical progress bar.
avdist
A simple tool for bootstrap analysis of haplotype differences. It computes hamming distance between pairs of sequences sampled from the input sequences and presents average difference and standard devitation of the results after some number of iterations. A previous version of this tool was used for Savolainen et al in Science 2003.
estzmate
Assessing the potential for protein-coding regions in ESTs.
Binary Repeat Align Server.
Align marked (colored) repeats under a repeat-duplication model in the special case of parent-child sequences.
