mesquiteproject.org - Mesquite is modular, extendible software for evolutionary biology, designed to help biologists organize and analyze comparative data about organisms. Its emphasis is on phylogenetic analysis, but some of its modules concern population genetics,...

Perl's second wave of adoption came from the growth of the world wide web. Dynamic web pages—the precursor to modern web applications—were easy to create with Perl and CGI. Thanks to Perl's ubiquity as a language for system...

The Brent Lab is developing and applying computational methods for mapping gene regulation networks, modeling them quantitatively, and engineering new behaviors into them.

To remove all line ends (\n) from a Unix text file: sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n//g' filename.txt > newfilename_oneline.txt To get average for a column of numbers (here the second column $2): awk '{ sum += $2; n++ } END { if (n > 0) print sum / n;...

github.com - Dahak is a software suite that integrates state-of-the-art open source tools for metagenomic analyses. Tools in the dahak software suite will perform various steps in metagenomic analysis workflows including data pre-processing, metagenome assembly,...

The interaction between proteins and other molecules is fundamental to all biological functions. In this section we include tools that can assist in prediction of interaction sites on protein surface and tools for predicting the structure of the...

http://www.ub.edu/dnasp/ - DnaSP, DNA Sequence Polymorphism, is a software package for the analysis of DNA polymorphisms using data from a single locus (a multiple sequence aligned -MSA data), or from several loci (a Multiple-MSA data, such as formats generated by some...

Here is a small tutorial on how to make best use of multiple processors for bioinformatics analysis. One best way is using perl threads and forks. Knowing how these threads and forks work is very important before implementing them. Getting to know...
