	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>SKESA is a DeBruijn graph-based de-novo assembler designed for assembling reads of microbial genomes sequenced using Illumina. Comparison with SPAdes and MegaHit shows that SKESA produces assemblies that have high sequence quality and contiguity, handles low-level contamination in reads, is fast, and produces an identical assembly for the same input when assembled multiple times with the same or different compute resources. </span></p>

	<title><![CDATA[R Graphical Cookbook by Winston Chang]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>R Graphical Cookbook by Winston Chang</p><p>A very nice book by Winston Chang for R ethusiast. The R code presented in these pages is the R code actually used to produce the Figures in the book. There will be differences compared to the code chunks shown in the text of the book, but in most cases the differences will be that these pages contain additional code to lay out multiple plots on a single "page".</p><p>The code presented for each figure is self-contained, i.e., all code required to produce the figure is included. This means that there is sometimes considerable overlap of code between several figures  In some cases, it may be necessary to install an add-on package from CRAN to get the code to run.</p><p>More books at http://www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/137370/C486x_APPb.pdf</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[Cgaln]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Cgaln (Coarse grained alignment) is a program designed to align a pair of whole genomic sequences of not only bacteria but also entire chromosomes of vertebrates on a nominal desktop computer. Cgaln performs an alignment job in two steps, at the block level and then at the nucleotide level. The former "coarse-grained" alignment can explore genomic rearrangements and reduce the regions to be analyzed in the next step. The latter is devoted to detailed alignment within the limited regions found in the first stage. The output of Cgaln is 'glocal' in the sense that rearrangements are taken into consideration while each alignable region is extended as long as possible. Thus, Cgaln is not only fast and memory-efficient, but also can filter noisy outputs without missing the most important homologous segment pairs.</p>
