Nucleo: Nuclear Localisation Predictor  
Nucleo is specialised prediction service written in Java using a support vector machine with a customised kernel. The software will accept a protein sequence in FASTA format and produce a probabilistic prediction of whether the protein is likely to be imported into the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Developed by Hawkins, J., Davis, L. and Bodén, M., Nucleo
PPRowler: Protein Localisation Predictor  
PProwler is a collection of prediction services written in Java using a variety of machine learning techniques. The software will accept a protein sequence in FASTA format and produce a probabilistic prediction of where the protein is likely to be localised within a eukaryotic cell.
Developed by Bodén, M., Hawkins, J., Wakabayashi, M. and Watson, J. PProwler
Fisheries Simulator  
The Fisheries simulator will model the interaction between fleet of reef line fishing boats and fish populations. The goal is to produce a tool for scenario testing in ecological management.
Developed by Hawkins, J. Not Available
Bioinformatics Scripts  
Here are a collection of small scripts I have created to save me time with assorted bioinformatics tasks.
Split a fasta file into several different files. First argument is the number of sequences per file. Second argument the input filename, and the third argument if present is the stub for the outputfiles. splitFasta.py
