GenomeTools

I need to export gene coordinates and exon organisation as a figure. I have prepared the annotations in UniPro Ugene, which I have installed from SBo. A nice tool for graphical representation of such data is provided by the GenomeTools software. It can be easily installed from SBo, too. Read the rest of this entry »

Custom protein topology schemes

I need to generate custom graphics of several proteins (in fact nearly 30). I have the domain organisation predicted at the SMART database, the N-glycosylation sites at NetNGlyc and the possible phosphorylation targets at NetPhos. I also have identified short functional motifs at ELM.

Now I need a program that can generate custom graphics that would combine all of these neatly. Read the rest of this entry »
