	<description><![CDATA[<p>Almost all the scripting languages such as Perl, Python etc have built-in sort, but unfortunately none of them are as flexible as sort command. But one when it come to space efficiency GNU sort stands at the top. It can sort a 20Gb file with less than 2Gb memory. It is not trivial to implement so powerful a sort by yourself.</p><p>sort a space-delimited file based on its first column, then the second if the first is the same, and so on:<br />sort input.txt</p><p>sort a huge file (GNU sort ONLY):<br />sort -S 1500M -t $HOME/tmp input.txt &gt; sorted.txt</p><p>sort starting from the third column, skipping the first two columns:<br />sort +2 input.txt</p><p>sort the second column as numbers, descending order; if identical, sort the 3rd as strings, ascending order:<br />sort -k2,2nr -k3,3 input.txt</p><p>sort starting from the 4th character at column 2, as numbers:<br />sort -k2.4n input.txt</p><p>More Linxu sort command information<br /><br />If you have any sort commands you'd like to share, please add them to our comments section below. For more help, you can also type:<br /><br />man sort<br /><br />or<br /><br />sort --help<br /><br />on your Unix/Linux system.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool. Unfortunately, this is often also the last time a tool will be used. Here I present ten recommendations for command line software author&rsquo;s tools to follow, which I believe would greatly improve the uptake and usability of their products, waste less user&rsquo;s time, and improve the quality of scientific analyses.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/content/2/1/15?utm_content=buffer25ee0&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer" rel="nofollow">http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/content/2/1/15?utm_content=buffer25ee0&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[KAT: a K-mer analysis toolkit to quality control NGS datasets and genome assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>KAT is a suite of tools that analyse jellyfish hashes or sequence files (fasta or fastq) using kmer counts. The following tools are currently available in KAT:</p>
<ul>
<li><span>hist</span>: Create an histogram of k-mer occurrences from a sequence file. Adds metadata in output for easy plotting.</li>
<li><span>gcp:</span>&nbsp;K-mer GC Processor. Creates a matrix of the number of K-mers found given a GC count and a K-mer count.</li>
<li><span>comp</span>: K-mer comparison tool. Creates a matrix of shared K-mers between two (or three) sequence files or hashes.</li>
<li><span>sect</span>: SEquence Coverage estimator Tool. Estimates the coverage of each sequence in a file using K-mers from another sequence file.</li>
<li><span>blob</span>: Given, reads and an assembly, calculates both the read and assembly K-mer coverage along with GC% for each sequence in the assembly.SEquence Coverage estimator Tool.</li>
<li><span>filter</span>: Filtering tools. Contains tools for filtering k-mer hashes and FastQ/A files:
<ul>
<li><span>kmer</span>: Produces a k-mer hash containing only k-mers within specified coverage and GC tolerances.</li>
<li><span>seq</span>: Filters a sequence file based on whether or not the sequences contain k-mers within a provided hash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>plot</span>: Plotting tools. Contains several plotting tools to visualise K-mer and compare distributions. The following plot tools are available:
<ul>
<li><span>density</span>: Creates a density plot from a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare two K-mer hashes produced by different NGS reads.</li>
<li><span>profile</span>: Creates a K-mer coverage plot for a single sequence. Takes in fasta coverage output coverage from the "sect" tool</li>
<li><span>spectra-cn</span>: Creates a stacked histogram using a matrix created with the "comp" tool. Typically this is used to compare a jellyfish hash produced from a read set to a jellyfish hash produced from an assembly. The plot shows the amount of distinct K-mers absent, as well as the copy number variation present within the assembly.</li>
<li><span>spectra-hist</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms produced either by jellyfish-histo or kat-histo.</li>
<li><span>spectra-mx</span>: Creates a K-mer spectra plot for a set of K-mer histograms that are derived from selected rows or columns in a matrix produced by the "comp".</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, KAT contains a python script for analysing the mathematical distributions present in the K-mer spectra in order to determine how much content is present in each peak.</p>
<p>This README only contains some brief details of how to install and use KAT. For more extensive documentation please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/">https://kat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/</a></p>

	<title><![CDATA[You and your friend have similar DNA !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>New research out of Massachusetts claims that people often choose friends that are similar to them in genetics and they are more accurate than you might suppose. A study published on PNAS&nbsp;http://www.pnas.org/content/111/Supplement_3/10796.full found that people are apt to pick friends who are genetically similar to themselves - so much so that friends tend to be as alike at the genetic level as a person's fourth cousin.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--CwLwHa43--/18fbmlokxcmqcjpg.jpg" alt="image" width="300" height="271" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></div><p>Scientists with a long-running Framingham Heart Study looked at 1,932 people (examination of about 1.5 million markers of genetic variations), comparing unrelated friends to unrelated strangers. They found that friends shared about 1% of their genes &mdash; a percentage much higher than those shared with strangers.This new findings made it clear that people have more DNA in common with those who are selected as friends than with strangers in the same population.&nbsp;</p><p>The genes that lined up the most were olfactory genes, which deal with smell. The ones that lined up the least were immune system genes. The researchers weren't sure why that happened :/. Olfactory genes might be a straightforward explanation: People who like the same smells tend to be drawn to similar environments, where they meet others with the same tendencies.</p><p>Reference:</p><p>http://www.pnas.org/content/111/Supplement_3/10796.full</p><p>Image : http://i.kinja-img.com</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[My commonly used commands in Bioinformatics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually:</p><pre><code>minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
nucmer -p nucmer assembly.fasta racon_assembly.fasta
show-snps -C -T -r nucmer.delta
</code></pre><p>This reports Racon's changes in a table. You can exclude indels with the&nbsp;<code>-I</code>&nbsp;option in&nbsp;<code>show-snps</code>.&nbsp;</p><p>This process (Racon -&gt; MUMmer -&gt; SNP table) solves the problem I originally raised in this issue. So as far as I'm concerned, you can close this issue (or keep it open if you still want to implement some kind of variant table).</p>]]></description>
