	<title><![CDATA[BUSCO: Assessing genome assembly and annotation completeness with Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<ul>
<li><span>High-throughput genomics has revolutionized biological research, however, while the number of sequenced genomes grows by the day, quality assessment of the resulting assembled sequences remains complicated and mostly limited to technical measures like N50.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li></li>
<li><span>BUSCO provides measures for quantitative assessment of genome assembly, gene set, and transcriptome completeness based on evolutionarily informed expectations of gene content from near-universal single-copy orthologs selected from&nbsp;</span><a href="http://orthodb.org/">OrthoDB</a><span>.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li></li>
<li><span>BUSCO assessments are implemented in open-source software, with comprehensive lineage-specific sets of Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs for arthropods, vertebrates, metazoans, fungi, eukaryotes, and bacteria.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li></li>
<li><span>These conserved orthologs are ideal candidates for large-scale phylogenomics studies, and the annotated BUSCO gene models built during genome assessments provide a comprehensive gene predictor training set for use as part of genome annotation pipelines.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li></li>
<li><span>BUSCO assessments offer intuitive metrics, based on evolutionarily informed expectations of gene content from hundreds of species, to gauge completeness of rapidly accumulating genomic data and satisfy an Iberian's quest for quality - "Busco calidad/qualidade".</span></li>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>mrFAST is a read mapper that is designed to map short reads to reference genome with a special emphasis on the discovery of structural variation and segmental duplications. mrFAST maps short reads with respect to user defined error threshold, including indels up to 4+4 bp. This manual, describes how to choose the parameters and tune mrFAST with respect to the library settings. mrFAST is designed to find&nbsp;</span><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">'all'</span></strong><span>&nbsp; mappings for a given set of reads, however it can return one "best" map location if the relevant parameter is invoked.</span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Cutadapt finds and removes adapter sequences, primers, poly-A tails and other types of unwanted sequence from your high-throughput sequencing reads.</p>
<p>Cleaning your data in this way is often required: Reads from small-RNA sequencing contain the 3&rsquo; sequencing adapter because the read is longer than the molecule that is sequenced. Amplicon reads start with a primer sequence. Poly-A tails are useful for pulling out RNA from your sample, but often you don&rsquo;t want them to be in your reads.</p>
<p>Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input data, without removing adapter sequences at all.</p>
<p>Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is available under the terms of the MIT license.</p>
<p>If you use cutadapt, please cite <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.14806/ej.17.1.200">DOI:10.14806/ej.17.1.200</a> .</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://cutadapt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#quickstart" rel="nofollow">https://cutadapt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#quickstart</a></p>]]></description>

<p>db2db allows for conversions of identifiers from one database to other database identifiers or annotations. To use db2db select the input type of your data, changing the input type automatically changes the output options to the ones specific for the input selected. Then select one or more output types and add your identifiers in the ID list box. Set the remove duplicate values to 'No' if you do not want duplicates to be removed. Clicking on submit then returns a table of your inputs matched against all the outputs selected in the exact order as entered. Results can be limited to a particular taxon by entering it's <a href="https://biodbnet-abcc.ncifcrf.gov/tools/orgTaxon.php">Taxon ID</a>.
