code.google.com - splitbam splits a BAM by chromosomes. Using the reference sequence dictionary (*.dict), it also creates some empty BAM files if no sam record was found for a chromosome. A pair of 'mock' SAM-Records can also be added to those empty BAMs to...

github.com - MARVEL consists of a set of tools that facilitate the overlapping, patching, correction and assembly of noisy (not so noisy ones as well) long reads. The assembly process can be summarized as follows: overlap patch reads overlap...

chunlab.wordpress.com - CLgenomics is a standalone desktop software specifically designed for bacterial genome analysis. This program has a powerful multi-genome browser, which enables rapid and responsive exploration of bacterial genomes. To use CLgenomics, individual...

github.com - new de novo assembler called BASE. It enhances the classic seed-extension approach by indexing the reads efficiently to generate adaptive seeds that have high probability to appear uniquely in the genome. Such seeds form the basis for BASE...

downloads.jbei.org - MaxBin is software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Users can understand the underlying bins (genomes) of the microbes in their metagenomes by simply providing assembled metagenomic...

journals.plos.org - Chromosome-level genome assembler combining multiple de novo assemblies https://github.com/jkimlab/IMAP

github.com - GroopM is a metagenomic binning toolset. It leverages spatio-temoraldynamics (differential coverage) to accurately (and almost automatically)extract population genomes from multi-sample metagenomic datasets. GroopM is largely parameter-free. Use:...

jgi.doe.gov - Tadpole is a kmer-based assembler, with additional capabilities of error-correcting and extending reads. It does not do any complicated graph analysis or scaffolding, and therefore, is not particularly good for diploid organisms. Tadpole is...

github.com - This project contains scripts and tutorials on how to assemble individual microbial genomes from metagenomes, as described in: Genome sequences of rare, uncultured bacteria obtained by differential coverage binning of multiple metagenomes Mads...

In an attempt to find a good Linux reference for bioinformatician and BOL readers, I was unsuccessful at finding a decent one on the Internet. So, we decided to make a cheat sheet for biological programmers.
