	<description><![CDATA[<p>MAKER is a portable and easily configurable genome annotation pipeline.Its purpose is to allow smaller eukaryotic and prokaryotic genome projects to independently annotate their genomes and to create genome databases. MAKER identifies repeats, aligns ESTs and proteins to a genome, produces ab-initio gene predictions and automatically synthesizes these data into gene annotations having evidence-based quality values.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>PANDASEQ assembles paired-end Illumina reads into sequences, trying to correct for errors and uncalled bases. The assembler reads two files in FASTQ format with quality information. If amplification primers were used (e.g., to isolate a variable region of the 16S gene, or the constant regions around zinc finger binding residues), they can be removed from the sequence during assembly. The final sequence will correct any uncalled bases in the overlapping region using the complementary strand. When mismatches occur in the overlapping region, the base with the better quality score is chosen.<br>The algorithm is as follows:<br><br>1.Find the positions where the forward and reverse primers match best above the threshold and discard the ends of the sequence, including the primer.<br>2.Pick and overlap to maximise the probability of the forward and reverse reads having come from a single piece of DNA.<br>3.Identify the masking of the end of the read with the quality score B or # as done by CASAVA and adjust the probabilities in this region.<br>4.Construct an assembled sequence between the primers and calculate the quality.<br>5.Check for various constraints, including quality, length, uncalled bases, and user-supplied modules.</p>

<p>We are a computational biology lab that develops novel methods for analysis of DNA and RNA sequences. Our research includes software for aligning and assembling RNA-seq data, whole-genome assembly, and microbiome analysis. We work closely with biomedical scientists to apply these methods to current problems arising in a broad spectrum of biological and medical research areas. We’re also part of the Center for Computational Biology, a group of 20+ faculty members and their labs at Johns Hopkins working on computational, statistical, and mathematical methods that can turn massive genomic data sets into biologically and clinically useful information.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>With the emergence of NGS technologies, and sequencing data most of the bioinformaticians mung and wrangle around massive amounts of genomics text. There are several "standardized" file formats (FASTQ, SAM, VCF, etc.) and some tools for manipulating them (fastx toolkit, samtools, vcftools, etc.), there are still times where knowing a little bit of Perl onliner is extremely helpful.</p><p>Perl one-liners are small and awesome Perl programs that fit in a single line of code and they do one thing really well. These things include changing line spacing, numbering lines, doing calculations, converting and substituting text, deleting and printing certain lines, parsing logs, editing files in-place, doing statistics, carrying out system administration tasks, updating a bunch of files at once, and many more.

	<title><![CDATA[YASS :: genomic similarity search tool]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>YASS is a genomic similarity search tool, for nucleic (DNA/RNA) sequences in fasta or plain text format (<em>it produces local pairwise alignments</em>). Like most of the heuristic pairwise local alignment tools for DNA sequences (FASTA, BLAST, PATTERNHUNTER, BLASTZ/LASTZ, LAST ...), YASS uses <em>seeds</em> to detect potential similarity regions, and then tries to extend them to local alignments. This genomic search tool uses <em>multiple transition constrained spaced seeds</em> that enable to search more fuzzy repeats, as non-coding DNA/RNA. Another simple, but interesting feature is that you can specify the seed pattern used in the search step (as provided for example by <a href="http://bioinfo.lifl.fr/yass/iedera.php">iedera</a>).</p>
<p>Main features of YASS are:</p>
<ul>
<li>multiple, possibly overlapping seeds and a new hit criterion to ensure a good sensitivity/selectivity trade-off</li>
<li>transition-constrained spaced seeds to improve sensitivity (transition mutations are purine to purine [<code>A&lt;-&gt;G</code>] or pyrimidine to pyrimidine [<code>C&lt;-&gt;T</code>])</li>
<li>using different scoring schemes with bit-score and E-value evaluated according to the sequence background frequencies</li>
<li>parameterizable <em>output</em> filter for low complexity repeats</li>
<li>reporting of various alignment statistical parameters (mutation bias along triplets, transition/transversion)</li>
<li>post-processing step to group gapped alignments</li>

	<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>
