	<title><![CDATA[Benchmarking Perl Module !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The benchmark module is a great tool to know the time the code takes to run. The output is usually in terms of CPU time. This module provides us with a way to optimize our code. With the advent of petascale computing and other multicore processor it is becoming a neccesity to know about the CPU time taken by our perl program.</p><p>This is the simple way to use the module</p><blockquote><p>Example1:</p><p>use Benchmark;</p><p>$first_time = Benchmark-&gt;new;</p><p>our code&hellip;&hellip;</p><p>$second_time = Benchmark-&gt;new;</p><p>$final_difference = timediff($first_time,$second_time);</p><p>print &ldquo;the code took, timestr($final_difference),&rdquo;\n&rdquo;;</p></blockquote><p>that was a very simple way to know the time diff , we can use it to know the time taken by some part of the code in the program.</p><blockquote><p>More sophisticated way:</p><p>use Benchmark;<br />sub first {</p><p>my(arguments) = @_;</p><p>}</p><p>timethese(100, { first =&gt; &lsquo;first_sub(arguments)&rsquo;});</p><p>The first argument to timethese is 100 (evaluate 100 times).</p></blockquote><p>Hope this very small tutorial with Benchmark will help people get started.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>RATT</strong> is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome.</p>
<p>It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between strains and even different species, like <em>Plasmodium chabaudi</em> onto <em> P. berghei</em>, between different Leishmania species or <em>Salmonella enterica</em> onto other Salmonella serotypes. <strong>RATT</strong> is able to transfer any entries present on a reference sequence, such as the systematic id or an annotator's notes; such information would be lost in a <em>de novo</em> annotation.</p>
