The AmphoraNet metagenomic phylotyping tool
The AmphoraNet uses 31 bacterial and 104 archaeal protein coding marker genes for metagenomic phylotyping. Most of these are single copy genes, therefore AmphoraNet is suitable for estimating the quantitative taxonomic composition of bacterial and archaeal communities from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data.

3D Brownian motion simulator
The Brownian 3D Brownian motion simulator program, can estimate the meeting time and the dockig ratio of nanoparticles to a target spot in microarrays. It is the only 3D Brownian motion simulator we are aware of.

ProtDict
ProtDict is a UniProt-based Protein dictionary, capable of finding UniProt entries based on AC numbers, SwissProt IDs, EC numbers, 3 types of gene names, and 100 different types of database cross references.
Decomp
The PDB Structural Decomposition Tool repairs and decomposes files from the Protein Data Bank PDB formats. With our program, protein-ligand complexes are identified reliably, missing residues and atoms in chains are handled properly. Placeholders are inserted into chains for missing residues/atoms. Ligands are identified without using the HET-atom labels, properly handling modified residues and small artifacts, due to crystallization protocols. CONECT records of the ligand-atoms are computed automatically.

Nascent
The Nascent is a protein-protein physical interaction network construction tool based on gene names. Our program searches for proteins of source organism which are in physical interaction by the IntAct database. Then those proteins are assigned to their respective gene names. We use these gene names to make a correspondence between the source and the target organisms making a predicted protein-protein physical interaction network for the target organism.
