	<description><![CDATA[<p>deepTools addresses the challenge of handling the large amounts of data that are now routinely generated from DNA sequencing centers. To do so, deepTools contains useful modules to process the mapped reads data to create coverage files in standard bedGraph and bigWig file formats. By doing so, deepTools allows the creation of normalized coverage files or the comparison between two files (for example, treatment and control). Finally, using such normalized and standardized files, multiple visualizations can be created to identify enrichments with functional annotations of the genome.<br /><br />Publicaton: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/05/05/nar.gku365.full<br /><br />Source Code and Wiki: https://github.com/fidelram/deepTools/wiki<br /><br />Galaxy Tool Shed repository: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bgruening/deeptools<br /><br />and example Galaxy workflows: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bgruening/deeptools_workflows</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[WiseScaffolder]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Function</p>
<p>WiseScaffolder is a stand-alone semi-automatic application for genome scaffolding of pre-assembled contigs using mate-pair data. It also produces editable scaffold maps, allowing either to build gapped scaffolds or usable as a common thread for the manual improvement of scaffolds.</p>
<p>Description&nbsp;</p>
<p>WiseScaffolder includes 4 subcommands: dumpconfig generates a configuration file that notably specifies the average insert size of the mate-pair library preprocess allows the detection and correction of chimerae, the estimation of contigs copy number and produces valuable outputs for the manual improvement of scaffolds scaffold constitutes the central scaffold-builder and comprises two modules:</p>
<p>i) the interative_scaffold_extender, which works with big, unambiguous contigs, or when they run out, single copy contigs, and</p>
<p>ii) the small_contig_inserter, which inserts the small contigs within scaffolds buildfasta converts the scaffold(s) map(s) into Fasta sequences.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://abims.sb-roscoff.fr/wisescaffolder" rel="nofollow">http://abims.sb-roscoff.fr/wisescaffolder</a></p>]]></description>

	<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[Linux command line exercises for NGS data processing]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce students to the frequently used tools for NGS analysis as well as giving experience in writing one-liners. Copy the required files to your current directory, change directory (<code>cd</code>) to the <code>linuxTutorial</code> folder, and do all the processing inside:</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cp -r /home/opt/MScBioinformatics/linuxTutorial .
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cd linuxTutorial
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span>
</pre>
<p>I have deliberately chosen <code>Awk</code> in the exercises as it is a language in itself and is used more often to manipulate NGS data as compared to the other command line tools such as <code>grep</code>, <code>sed</code>, <code>perl</code> etc. Furthermore, having a command on <code>awk</code> will make it easier to understand advanced tutorials such as <a href="http://userweb.eng.gla.ac.uk/umer.ijaz/bioinformatics/Illumina_workflow.html">Illumina Amplicons Processing Workflow</a>. <br><br> In <code>Linux</code>, we use a shell that is a program that takes your commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system. Most Linux systems utilize Bourne Again SHell (<code>bash</code>), but there are several additional shell programs on a typical Linux system such as <code>ksh</code>, <code>tcsh</code>, and <code>zsh</code>. To see which shell you are using, type</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span> echo $SHELL

<span>/bin/bash

	<title><![CDATA[CGView - Circular Genome Viewer]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>GView is a Java package used to display and navigate bacterial genomes. GView is useful for producing high-quality genome maps for use in publications and websites, or as a visualization tool in a sequence annotation pipeline. Users can interact with the genome using a powerful pan-and-zoom interface, or GView can write static images of a genome to a file. GView can draw a genome using either circular or linear layouts. For examples of some of the images GView can produce, see the <a href="https://www.gview.ca/bin/view/GView/ImageGallery">Image Gallery</a>. GView is a re-write of <a href="http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/cgview/" target="_top">CGView</a>, a circular genome viewer written by Paul Stothard. The goal of GView is to provide greater user interaction, and more flexibility in how the genome map is rendered. To aid with easily configuring the display of a genome, a style editor has been included to provide an intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface for customizing genome maps. Styling attributes such as colours or fonts for the various map elements can be adjusted in real time. Customized styles can be saved for later use or for application to other genome maps using GView's <a href="https://www.gview.ca/bin/view/GViewDocumentation/GViewGSS">custom file format</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/cgview/" rel="nofollow">http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/cgview/</a></p>]]></description>
