We developed a general purpose Navigation Analysis Tool (NAT) that provides an integrated architecture consisting of a data management system (implemented in MySQL), a core analysis toolbox (in MATLAB), and a graphical user interface (in JAVA).
The development of reliability-based design methods requires the use of general-purpose engineering analysis tools that predict the uncertainty in a response due to uncertainties in the model formulation and input parameters.
For general-purpose EST analysis tools, preAssemble [ 39] and WebTraceMiner [ 40] specialize in base calling and quality trimming but do not provide assembly or annotation functionality.
All of these things can be done without any knowledge of the specific function of the code in question, using general-purpose static-analysis tools.Microsoft has developed a tool, called PREfast, that runs on a programmer's desktop and performs static analysis on newly written code so that errors can be spotted quickly before the code goes any further.
WND-CHARM is a general purpose pattern analysis and classification tool for images.
Yet we believe that there is a strong need for general purpose models, analysis methods, and software tools to represent, computationally dissect, and understand the processes by which organisms develop.
The hope is that our method will further contribute to establishing biclustering as a general purpose tool for data analysis in functional genomics.
Moreover, the associated WES analysis pipelines here presented has to be considered only as an accompanying tool to uniformly populate the database and cannot be considered a general purpose exome analysis pipeline, such as those recently presented in the literature [ 45- 47].
