	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a&nbsp;</span><em>k</em><span>-mer based&nbsp;</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index">Jaccard similarity</a><span>&nbsp;using a combination of&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr05/cos598E/bib/p76-schleimer.pdf">Winnowing</a><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinHash">MinHash</a><span>. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the&nbsp;</span><a href="http://mash.readthedocs.org/">Mash</a><span>&nbsp;distance. An appropriate&nbsp;</span><em>k</em><span>-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds.

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>RGFA, an implementation of the proposed GFA specification in Ruby. It allows the user to conveniently parse, edit and write GFA files. Complex operations such as the separation of the implicit instances of repeats and the merging of linear paths can be performed. A typical application of RGFA is the editing of a graph, to finish the assembly of a sequence, using information not available to the assembler. We illustrate a use case, in which the assembly of a repetitive metagenomic fosmid insert was completed using a script based on RGFA.</span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>maftools - An R package to summarize, analyze and visualize MAF files. <a href="https://github.com/PoisonAlien/maftools#introduction"></a>Introduction.</p>
<p>With advances in Cancer Genomics, Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) is being widley accepted and used to store variants detected. <a href="http://cancergenome.nih.gov">The Cancer Genome Atlas</a> Project has seqenced over 30 different cancers with sample size of each cancer type being over 200. The <a href="https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/TCGA/TCGA+MAF+Files">resulting data</a> consisting of genetic variants is stored in the form of <a href="https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/TCGA/Mutation+Annotation+Format+%28MAF%29+Specification">Mutation Annotation Format</a>. This package attempts to summarize, analyze, annotate and visualize MAF files in an efficient manner either from TCGA sources or any in-house studies as long as the data is in MAF format. Maftools can also handle ICGC Simple Somatic Mutation format.</p>

<pre><code>python finisherSC.py destinedFolder mummerPath

<p>If you are running on server computer and would like to use multiple threads, then the following commands can generate 20 threads to run FinisherSC.</p>
<pre><code>python finisherSC.py -par 20 destinedFolder mummerPath
</code></pre>
<p>Sometimes, if the names of raw reads and contigs consists of special characters/formats, FinisherSC/MUMmer may not parse them correctly. In that case, you want to have a quick renaming of the names of contigs/reads in contigs.fasta or raw_reads.fasta using the following command.</p>
<pre><code>    perl -pe 's/&gt;[^\$]*$/"&gt;Seg" . ++$n ."\n"/ge' raw_reads.fasta &gt; newRaw_reads.fasta
    cp newRaw_reads.fasta raw_reads.fasta
