	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>PLAST is a fast, accurate and NGS scalable bank-to-bank sequence similarity search tool providing significant accelerations of seeds-based heuristic comparison methods, such as the Blast suite of algorithms.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Relying on unique software architecture, PLAST takes full advantage of recent multi-core personal computers without requiring any additional hardware devices.</strong></p>
<p>PLAST stands for&nbsp;<em>Parallel Local Sequence Alignment Search Tool&nbsp;</em>and is was&nbsp;<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/329" target="_blank">published in BMC Bioinformatics.</a></p>
<p>PLAST is a general purpose sequence comparison tool providing the following benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>PLAST is a high-performance sequence comparison tool designed to compare two sets of sequences (query vs. reference),</li>
<li>Reduces the processing time of sequences comparisons while providing highest quality results,</li>
<li>Contains a fully integrated data filtering engine capable of selecting relevant hits with user-defined criteria (E-Value, identity, coverage, alignment length, etc.),</li>
<li>Does not require any additional hardware, since it is a software solution. It is easy to install, cost-effective, takes full advantage of multi-core processors and uses a small RAM footprint,</li>
<li>Ready to be used on desktop computer, cluster, cloud as well as within distributed system running Hadoop.</li>

	<title><![CDATA[MIX: Combining multiple assemblies from NGS data]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Mix is a tool that combines two or more draft assemblies, without relying on a reference genome and has the goal to reduce contig fragmentation and thus speed-up genome finishing. The proposed algorithm builds an extension graph where vertices represent extremities of contigs and edges represent existing alignments between these extremities. These alignment edges are used for contig extension. The resulting output assembly corresponds to a path in the extension graph that maximizes the cumulative contig length.</p>
<p>The Mix algorithm, approach and results were published in BMC bioinformatics :&nbsp;<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/14/S15/S16">http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/14/S15/S16</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/cbib/MIX" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cbib/MIX</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[HALC: High throughput algorithm for long read error correction]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[HALC, a high throughput algorithm for long read error correction. HALC aligns the long reads to short read contigs from the same species with a relatively low identity requirement so that a long read region can be aligned to at least one contig region, including its true genome region’s repeats in the contigs sufficiently similar to it (similar repeat based alignment approach)

HALC was able to obtain 6.7-41.1% higher throughput than the existing algorithms while maintaining comparable accuracy. The HALC corrected long reads can thus result in 11.4-60.7% longer assembled contigs than the existing algorithms.<p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/lanl001/halc" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lanl001/halc</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>
