http://rast.nmpdr.org/ - The RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) annotation engine was built in 2008 to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes. It works by offering a standard software pipeline for identifying genomic features (i.e., protein-encoding genes...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - This is the andi program for estimating the evolutionary distance between closely related genomes. These distances can be used to rapidly infer phylogenies for big sets of genomes. Because andi does not compute full alignments, it is so efficient...

www.well.ox.ac.uk - Stampy is a package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It's recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of...

http://docs.bpipe.org/ - Bpipe provides a platform for running big bioinformatics jobs that consist of a series of processing stages - known as 'pipelines'. January 20th, 2016 - New! Bpipe 0.9.9 released! Download latest, all Documentation Mailing List (Google...

github.com - In a nutshell Anvi’o is an analysis and visualization platform for ‘omics data. Please find the methods paper here: https://peerj.com/articles/1319/ Anvi’o would not have been possible without the help of many people who...

github.com - Reads simulator Wgsim is a small tool for simulating sequence reads from a reference genome. It is able to simulate diploid genomes with SNPs and insertion/deletion (INDEL) polymorphisms, and simulate reads with uniform substitution sequencing...

journals.plos.org - Recent studies of the human genome have indicated that regulatory elements (e.g. promoters and enhancers) at distal genomic locations can interact with each other via chromatin folding and affect gene expression levels. Genomic technologies for...

Genome Workbench 2.10.7 is here! New features include added support for local custom BLAST databases and improvements to Tree View.

drive5.com - USEARCH >Extreme high-throughput sequence analysis. Orders of magnitude faster than BLAST. MUSCLE >Multiple sequence alignment. Faster and more accurate than CLUSTALW.  UPARSE >OTU clustering for 16S and other marker genes....

These are just a scant few of the common questions asked by bioinformatics students as they ready themselves for the next exam sitting
