Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide

Jit — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 04:50:51 -0600

This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, yet progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and as a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.

This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.

svelter

Jitendra Prajapati — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:33:15 -0600

This software is designed to identify both simple and complex rearrangements from paired-end sequencing data. Users could ran it easily by just alling SVelter.py with proper parameters. It's also possible to ran it on multiple cores by calling different sub-functions separately.

Sequence assembly with MIRA 4

Priya Singh — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 08:21:22 -0500

MIRA is a multi-pass DNA sequence data assembler/mapper for whole genome and EST/RNASeq projects. MIRA assembles/maps reads gained by

electrophoresis sequencing (aka Sanger sequencing)
454 pyro-sequencing (GS20, FLX or Titanium)
Ion Torrent
Solexa (Illumina) sequencing
(in development) Pacific Biosciences sequencing

into contiguous sequences (called contigs). One can use the sequences of different sequencing technologies either in a single assembly run (a true hybrid assembly) or by mapping one type of data to an assembly of other sequencing type (a semi-hybrid assembly (or mapping)) or by mapping a data against consensus sequences of other assemblies (a simple mapping).

The MIRA acronym stands for Mimicking Intelligent Read Assembly and the program pretty well does what its acronym says (well, most of the time anyway). It is the Swiss army knife of sequence assembly that I've used and developed during the past 14 years to get assembly jobs I work on done efficiently - and especially accurately. That is, without me actually putting too much manual work into it.
