Abstract

IGIPT is a web-based integrated platform for the identification of genomic islands (GIs). It incorporates thirteen parametric measures based on anomalous nucleotide composition on a single platform, thus improving the predictive power of a horizontally acquired region, since it is known that no single measure can absolutely predict a horizontally transferred region. The tool filters putative GIs based on standard deviation from genomic average and also provides raw output in MS excel format for further analysis. To facilitate the identification of various structural features, viz., tRNA integration sites, repeats, etc. in the vicinity of GIs, the tool provides option to extract the predicted regions and its flanking regions.

Availability: The database is available for free at http://bioinf.iiit.ac.in/IGIPT/

Keywords: genomic islands; horizontal gene transfer.
