%0 Journal Article %T Automated family-based naming of small RNAs for next generation sequencing data using a modified MD5-digest algorithm %A Guodong Liu %A Zhihua Li %A Yuefeng Lin %A Bino John %J Computer Science %D 2012 %I arXiv %X We developed NameMyGene, a web tool and a stand alone program to easily generate putative family-based names for small RNA sequences so that laboratories can easily organize, analyze, and observe patterns from, the massive amount of data generated by next-generation sequencers. NameMyGene, also applicable to other emerging methods such as RNA-Seq, and Chip-Seq, solely uses the input small RNA sequence and does not require any additional data such as other sequence data sets. The web server and software is freely available (http://www.johnlab.org/NameMyGene) and is based on Java to ensure platform independency. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.6385v1
