	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Metagenomics sequencing projects collect samples of DNA from uncharacterized environments that may contain hundreds or even thousands of species. One of the main challenges in analyzing a metagenome is phylogenetic classification of raw sequence reads into groups representing the same or similar species. Such classification is a useful prerequisite for genome assembly and for analysis of the biological diversity present in a sample. The newest sequencing technologies have simultaneously made metagenomics easier, by making the sequencing process faster, and more difficult, by producing shorter read lengths than previous technologies. Methods for classifying sequences as short as 100 base pairs (bp) have until now been relatively inaccurate, requiring metagenomics projects to use older, long-read technologies.&nbsp;</span><strong>Phymm</strong><span>, a new classification approach for metagenomics data which uses interpolated Markov models (IMMs) to taxonomically classify DNA sequences, can accurately classify reads as short as 100 bp. Its accuracy for short reads represents a significant leap forward over previous composition-based classification methods.&nbsp;</span><strong>PhymmBL</strong><span>&nbsp;(rhymes with "thimble"), the hybrid classifier included in this distribution which combines analysis from both Phymm and&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST">BLAST</a><span>, produces even higher accuracy.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/phymm/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/phymm/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[HybPiper]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>HybPiper was designed for targeted sequence capture, in which DNA sequencing libraries are enriched for gene regions of interest, especially for phylogenetics. HybPiper is a suite of Python scripts that wrap and connect bioinformatics tools in order to extract target sequences from high-throughput DNA sequencing reads.</p>
<p>Targeted bait capture is a technique for sequencing many loci simultaneously based on bait sequences. HybPiper pipeline starts with high-throughput sequencing reads (for example from Illumina MiSeq), and assigns them to target genes using BLASTx or BWA. The reads are distributed to separate directories, where they are assembled separately using SPAdes. The main output is a FASTA file of the (in frame) CDS portion of the sample for each target region, and a separate file with the translated protein sequence.</p>
<p>HybPiper also includes post-processing scripts, run after the main pipeline, to also extract the intronic regions flanking each exon, investigate putative paralogs, and calculate sequencing depth. For more information,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper/wiki/">please see our wiki</a>.</p>
<p>HybPiper is run separately for each sample (single or paired-end sequence reads). When HybPiper generates sequence files from the reads, it does so in a standardized directory hierarchy. Many of the post-processing scripts rely on this directory hierarchy, so do not modify it after running the initial pipeline. It is a good idea to run the pipeline for each sample from the same directory. You will end up with one directory per run of HybPiper, and some of the later scripts take advantage of this predictable directory structure.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[ScaffMatch]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>caffMatch is a novel scaffolding tool based on Maximum-Weight Matching able to produce high-quality scaffolds from NGS data (reads and contigs). The tool is written in Python 2.7. It also includes a bash script wrapper that calls aligner in case one needs to first map reads to contigs (instead of providing .sam files).</p>
<p>The arguments accepted by ScaffMatch are:</p>
<p>&nbsp; -w) Working directory -- this is the directory where ScaffMatch files are stored. These are .sam files produced after mapping reads to contigs and the resulting scaffolds file `scaffolds.fa` fasta file;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -c) Contig fasta file;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -m) Command line argument with no options. It is used when .sam files are used instead of reads .fastq files. Do not use this option if you provide reads files;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -1) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the first read of the read pair;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -2) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the second read of the read pair;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -i) (Comma separated list of) insert size(s) of the library(-ies);</p>
<p>&nbsp; -s) (Comma separated list of) library(-ies) standard deviation(s) of insert size(s);</p>
<p>&nbsp; -t) Bundle threshold. Pairs of contigs supported by number of read pairs less than the value of this argument are discarded. Optional argument, by default it is equal to 5;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -g) Matching heuristics: use `max_weight` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics with the Insertion step, use `backbone` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics without the Insertion step, use `greedy` for Greedy Matching heuristics;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -l) Log file - where to store the logs. Optional argument. By default, stdout is used.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://alan.cs.gsu.edu/NGS/?q=content/scaffmatch" rel="nofollow">http://alan.cs.gsu.edu/NGS/?q=content/scaffmatch</a></p>]]></description>

	<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>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>A computational pipeline for identifying single-base substitutions between two closely related genomes without the help of a reference genome. DIAL works even when the depth of coverage is insufficient for de novo assembly, and it can be extended to determine small insertions/deletions. Our main motivation is to use this tool to survey the genetic diversity of endangered species as the identified sequence differences can be used to design genotyping arrays to assist in the species' management.</p>
