Open Source S/R Frameworks

GEPETTO (GEne PrioriTization ExTended TOol) is an original open-source framework, distributed under the LGPL license, for gene selection and prioritization on a desktop computer that ensures confidentiality of personal data. It takes advantage of the data integration capabilities in the SM2PH-Central Framework(KD4v,MSV3d,BIRD,..), combined with in-house developed gene prioritization methods. It currently incorporates six prioritization modules, based on gene sequence, protein-protein interactions, gene expression, disease-causing probabilities, genomic context). GEPETTO is written in Java/Python and supported by an advanced modular architecture, which means that it can easily be modified and extended by the user, in order to include alternative scoring methods and new data sources. We intend to extend the system from gene-level to variant-level prioritization, by exploiting the variant data in the MSV3D database. Contact: bmhoan@gmail.com or walter.vincent.fr@gmail.com

Web application providing analysis of biomedical relationships. Built using the Grails web application framework (http://grails.org/) with MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) as a back-end datastore and utilizing R (http://www.r-project.org/) for statistical analysis. Developed by the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (http://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/) and Entagen (http://www.entagen.com).

The Vyper Dynamic Server framework is a pure-java library for use in the creation of backend / server platforms. VDS is specifically tailored for financial applications, and suited for many high-throughput, asynchronous and distributed environments.
