	<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[cutadapt]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Cutadapt finds and removes adapter sequences, primers, poly-A tails and other types of unwanted sequence from your high-throughput sequencing reads.</p>
<p>Cleaning your data in this way is often required: Reads from small-RNA sequencing contain the 3&rsquo; sequencing adapter because the read is longer than the molecule that is sequenced. Amplicon reads start with a primer sequence. Poly-A tails are useful for pulling out RNA from your sample, but often you don&rsquo;t want them to be in your reads.</p>
<p>Cutadapt helps with these trimming tasks by finding the adapter or primer sequences in an error-tolerant way. It can also modify and filter reads in various ways. Adapter sequences can contain IUPAC wildcard characters. Also, paired-end reads and even colorspace data is supported. If you want, you can also just demultiplex your input data, without removing adapter sequences at all.</p>
<p>Cutadapt comes with an extensive suite of automated tests and is available under the terms of the MIT license.</p>

<p>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 errors. It does not generate INDEL sequencing errors, but this can be partly compensated by simulating INDEL polymorphisms.<br><br>Wgsim outputs the simulated polymorphisms, and writes the true read coordinates as well as the number of polymorphisms and sequencing errors in read names. One can evaluate the accuracy of a mapper or a SNP caller with wgsim_eval.pl that comes with the package.<br><br></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/lh3/wgsim" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lh3/wgsim</a></p>]]></description>
