	<title><![CDATA[JSON]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>JSON</strong>&nbsp;(JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the&nbsp;<a href="http://javascript.crockford.com/">JavaScript Programming Language</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/ECMA-262.pdf">Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999</a>. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.</p>
<p>JSON is built on two structures:</p>
<ul>
<li>A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an&nbsp;<em>object</em>, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.</li>
<li>An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an&nbsp;<em>array</em>, vector, list, or sequence.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another. It makes sense that a data format that is interchangeable with programming languages also be based on these structures.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://json.org/" rel="nofollow">http://json.org/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Tetra-Nucleotide Analysis]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A tetra-nucleotide is a fragment of DNA sequence with 4 bases (e.g. AGTC or TTGG). Pride&nbsp;<em>et al.</em>&nbsp;(2003) showed that the frequency of tetra-nucleotides in bacterial genomes contain useful, albeit weak, phylogenetic signals. Even though tetra-nucleotide analysis (TNA) utilizes the information of whole genome, it is evident that it cannot replace other alignment-based phylogenetic methods such as&nbsp;<a href="https://chunlab.wordpress.com/orthoani/">OrthoANI</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;16S rRNA phylogeny. However, TNA can be useful for&nbsp;phylogenetic characterization when whole genome or 16S rRNA gene information is not available. For example, a partial genomic fragment obtained from a metagenome can be identified by TNA (Teeling&nbsp;<em>et al.</em>, 2004). TNA is also fast enough that it can be&nbsp;used&nbsp;as a search engine against a large genome database.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://chunlab.wordpress.com/tetra-nucleotide-analysis/" rel="nofollow">https://chunlab.wordpress.com/tetra-nucleotide-analysis/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids).</p>
<p>Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction of protein-coding genes, as well as other functional genome units such as structural RNAs, tRNAs, small RNAs, pseudogenes, control regions, direct and inverted repeats, insertion sequences, transposons and other mobile elements.</p>
<p>NCBI has developed an automatic prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline that combines&nbsp;<em>ab initio</em>&nbsp;gene prediction algorithms with homology based methods. The first version of NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline (PGAAP;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&amp;db=pubmed&amp;dopt=Abstract&amp;list_uids=18416670">see Pubmed Article</a>) developed in 2005 has been replaced with an upgraded version that is capable of processing a larger data volume. You can find a more detailed description of the new version of&nbsp;the pipeline in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK174280/">NCBI Handbook chapter</a>. NCBI's annotation pipeline depends on several internal databases and is not currently available for download or use outside of the NCBI environment.</p>

</ol><p>Please note that the field of bioinformatics is constantly evolving, and new assembly tools may have emerged since my last update. Additionally, the performance of these tools can vary depending on the characteristics of the sequencing data and the genome being assembled. When selecting an assembly tool, consider the specific requirements of your project, the available data types, and the computational resources at your disposal. Always refer to the respective tool's documentation and publications for the most up-to-date information and recommendations.</p>]]></description>
