	<title><![CDATA[Beagle]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Beagle is a software package that performs genotype calling, genotype phasing, imputation of ungenotyped markers, and identity-by-descent segment detection.</p>
<p>Beagle version 4.1 has a more accurate genotype phasing algorithm and a very fast and accurate genotype imputation algorithm. Version 4.1 also has several changes to the command line arguments which are described in the&nbsp;<a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/browning/beagle/release_notes" target="_blank">release notes</a>. The "ped" argument has no effect in version 4.1. If your data contains nuclear families and you want to model the parent-offspring relationships when phasing genotypes, please use&nbsp;<a href="https://faculty.washington.edu/browning/beagle/b4_0.html">version 4.0</a>.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[ART: Set of Simulation Tools]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>ART is a set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. ART supports simulation of single-end, paired-end/mate-pair reads of three major commercial next-generation sequencing platforms: Illumina's Solexa, Roche's 454 and Applied Biosystems' SOLiD. ART can be used to test or benchmark a variety of method or tools for next-generation sequencing data analysis, including read alignment, de novo assembly, SNP and structure variation discovery. ART was used as a primary tool for the simulation study of the <span><a href="http://www.1000genomes.org/" target="_blank">1000 Genomes Project<span></span></a></span> . ART is implemented in C++ with optimized algorithms and is highly efficient in read simulation. ART outputs reads in the FASTQ format, and alignments in the ALN format. ART can also generate alignments in the SAM alignment or UCSC BED file format. ART can be used together with genome variants simulators (e.g. <span><a href="http://bioinform.github.io/varsim/" target="_blank">VarSim<span></span></a></span>) for evaluating variant calling tools or methods.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/software/biostatistics/art/" rel="nofollow">http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/software/biostatistics/art/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Progressive Cactus]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<h1><em style="font-size: 12.8px; font-weight: normal;">v0.0 by Glenn Hickey (<a href="mailto:hickey@soe.ucsc.edu">hickey@soe.ucsc.edu</a>)</em></h1>
<p>Progressive Cactus is a whole-genome alignment package.</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus#requirements"></a>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>git</li>
<li>gcc 4.2 or newer</li>
<li>python 2.7</li>
<li>wget</li>
<li>64bit processor and build environment</li>
<li>150GB+ of memory on at least one machine when aligning mammal-sized genomes; less memory is needed for smaller genomes.</li>
<li>Parasol or SGE for cluster support.</li>
<li>750M disk space</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus#instructions"></a>Instructions</h3>
<p>IMPORTANT NOTE: Progressive Cactus does not presently support installation into paths that contain spaces. Until this is resolved, you can use a softlink as a workaround: ln -s "path with spaces" "installation path without spaces"</p>
<p>In the parent directory of where you want Progressive Cactus installed:</p>
<pre><code>git clone git://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus.git
cd progressiveCactus
git pull
git submodule update --init
make
</code></pre>
<p>It is also convenient to add the location of&nbsp;<code>progressiveCactus/bin</code>&nbsp;to your PATH environment variable. In order to run the included tools (ex hal2maf) in the submodules/ directory structure, first source&nbsp;<code>progressiveCactus/environment</code>&nbsp;to load the installed environment.</p>
<p>If any errors occur during the build process, you are unlikely to be able to use the tool. Please submit a GitHub issue so we can help out: not only will you help yourself, but others who wish to use the tool as well.</p>
<p><em>Note that all dependencies are also built and included in the submodules/ directory. This increases the size and build time but greatly simplifies installation and version management. The installation does not create or modify any files outside the progressiveCactus/ directory.</em></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[BRIG]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available at:<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig">http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig</a></p>
<p>If you have any questions or comments, post them on&nbsp;<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245">one of the trackers</a>&nbsp;on BRIG&rsquo;s SourceForge page:<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245</a>.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Images show similarity between a central reference sequence and other sequences as concentric rings.</li>
<li>BRIG will perform all BLAST comparisons and file parsing automatically via a simple GUI.</li>
<li>Contig boundaries and read coverage can be displayed for draft genomes; customized graphs and annotations can be displayed.</li>
<li>Using a user-defined set of genes as input, BRIG can display gene presence, absence, truncation or sequence variation in a set of complete genomes, draft genomes or even raw, unassembled sequence data.</li>
<li>BRIG also accepts SAM-formatted read-mapping files enabling genomic regions present in unassembled sequence data from multiple samples to be compared simultaneously</li>

	<title><![CDATA[bedtools]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Collectively, the&nbsp;<strong>bedtools</strong>&nbsp;utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used tools enable&nbsp;<em>genome arithmetic</em>: that is, set theory on the genome. For example,&nbsp;<strong>bedtools</strong>&nbsp;allows one to<em>intersect</em>,&nbsp;<em>merge</em>,&nbsp;<em>count</em>,&nbsp;<em>complement</em>, and&nbsp;<em>shuffle</em>&nbsp;genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g.,&nbsp;<em>intersect</em>&nbsp;two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.</p>
<p><strong>bedtools</strong>&nbsp;is developed in the&nbsp;<a href="http://quinlanlab.org/">Quinlan laboratory</a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.utah.edu/">University of Utah</a>&nbsp;and benefits from fantastic contributions made by scientists worldwide.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html</a></p>]]></description>
