	<description><![CDATA[<p>The sequencing, assembly, and basic analysis of microbial genomes, once a painstaking and expensive undertaking, has become almost trivial for research labs with access to standard molecular biology and computational tools. However, there are a wide variety of options available for DNA library preparation and sequencing, and inexperience with bioinformatics can pose a significant barrier to entry for many who may be interested in microbial genomics. The objective of the present study was to design, test, troubleshoot, and publish a simple, comprehensive workflow from the collection of an environmental sample (a swab) to a published microbial genome; empowering even a lab or classroom with limited resources and bioinformatics experience to perform it.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://peerj.com/preprints/453.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://peerj.com/preprints/453.pdf</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Linux command line exercises for NGS data processing]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce students to the frequently used tools for NGS analysis as well as giving experience in writing one-liners. Copy the required files to your current directory, change directory (<code>cd</code>) to the <code>linuxTutorial</code> folder, and do all the processing inside:</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cp -r /home/opt/MScBioinformatics/linuxTutorial .
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$</span> cd linuxTutorial
<span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span>
</pre>
<p>I have deliberately chosen <code>Awk</code> in the exercises as it is a language in itself and is used more often to manipulate NGS data as compared to the other command line tools such as <code>grep</code>, <code>sed</code>, <code>perl</code> etc. Furthermore, having a command on <code>awk</code> will make it easier to understand advanced tutorials such as <a href="http://userweb.eng.gla.ac.uk/umer.ijaz/bioinformatics/Illumina_workflow.html">Illumina Amplicons Processing Workflow</a>. <br><br> In <code>Linux</code>, we use a shell that is a program that takes your commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system. Most Linux systems utilize Bourne Again SHell (<code>bash</code>), but there are several additional shell programs on a typical Linux system such as <code>ksh</code>, <code>tcsh</code>, and <code>zsh</code>. To see which shell you are using, type</p>
<pre><span>[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$</span> echo $SHELL

<span>/bin/bash

	<description><![CDATA[<p>BRIG is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Unix) application that can display circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data. The application is available at: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig">http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig</a></p>
<p>If you have any questions or comments, post them on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245">one of the trackers</a> on BRIG&rsquo;s SourceForge page: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245</a>.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Images show similarity between a central reference sequence and other sequences as concentric rings.</li>
<li>BRIG will perform all BLAST comparisons and file parsing automatically via a simple GUI.</li>
<li>Contig boundaries and read coverage can be displayed for draft genomes; customized graphs and annotations can be displayed.</li>
<li>Using a user-defined set of genes as input, BRIG can display gene presence, absence, truncation or sequence variation in a set of complete genomes, draft genomes or even raw, unassembled sequence data.</li>
<li>BRIG also accepts SAM-formatted read-mapping files enabling genomic regions present in unassembled sequence data from multiple samples to be compared simultaneously</li>

	<description><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>
<p>A&nbsp;<strong>recombination map</strong>&nbsp;has been added for all multi-locus traits. The map positions (chromosomal) for neutral markers (e.g. SNPs) and loci under selection (QTLs, deleterious mutations, DMIs) can now be specified explicitly, or set at random. The map can hold an unlimited number of loci of different types jointly, at any recombination scale (cM or lower). The effects of linkage can thus be finely explored.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A new trait coding for (Bateson-)<strong>Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibility loci</strong>. Multiple haploid or diploid pairs of incompatible loci can be spread throughout the genome and affect individual fitness.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Multi-type selection</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="http://nemo2.sourceforge.net/classIndividual.html" title="This class contains traits along with other individual information (sex, pedigree, etc. ).">Individual</a>&nbsp;fitness can be jointly determined by different types of loci under selectinon, such as QTLs coding for quantitative traits under spatially variable selection, universally deleterious mutations, and Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibility loci.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>An unlimited number of quantitative traits</strong>&nbsp;under different forms of selection can be modelled, based on universally pleiotropic loci with several bi- or multi-allelic models.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Spatial and temporal variation of selection</strong>&nbsp;on quantitative traits is possible, modelling shifts of environmental conditions over time.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The dispersal matrix describing the movement of individuals among sub-populations can be replaced by a connectivity matrix and a reduced dispersal matrix describing migration only among the connected sub-populations. This offers a substantial gain in computing time and system memory when simulating very large grids.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Input parameters' arguments may be specified in separate files. This is particularly convenient when specifying large matrices.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Many adjustments have been made for refined control of the input of parameters and data output. See updates in the manual.</p>
