	<title><![CDATA[Bioinformatics Web Application Development with Perl]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div><p>Perl's second wave of adoption came from the growth of the world wide web. Dynamic web pages&mdash;the precursor to modern web applications&mdash;were easy to create with Perl and CGI. Thanks to Perl's ubiquity as a language for system administrators and its power to manipulate text, it was the default choice for web programming. Its presence everywhere made it popular and, in some ways, the duct tape of the Internet.</p><h4>Web Application Development</h4><p>The old days of CGI programs and the simple development style that represented seem clunky. Web pages have become web applications. Development has moved from generating static HTML to both client and server side programming, with rich client interfaces and powerful backends.</p><p>Perl is still well suited for developing modern web apps. The language grows more powerful and easier to use every year, the available libraries are wonderful and keep getting better, and the inventions and discoveries available in modern Perl are unsurpassed.</p><p>In particular, a modern Perl developer can do amazing things with modern Perl tools. If you still think of Perl web development as a&nbsp;<em>cgi-bin</em>&nbsp;directory full of messy scripts that spew warnings to STDERR, you're a decade out of date. Better yet, you can replace that mess piecemeal, thanks to the new tools and techniques of modern Perl. See, for example, the ever-growing list of technologies&nbsp;<a href="http://www.builtinperl.com/">Built in Perl</a>.</p><h4>Modern Perl Web Frameworks</h4><p>While the old wave of web development may have made the CGI.pm module central, modern Perl web programming follows a stricter separation of business logic, URL and request routing, and output. The days of slinging a string here, an array there, a Perl hash yonder, declaring every variable at the top of the program, and maybe making a subroutine are gone. The Perl world has seen the value of abstraction and ways to mechanize away boilerplate. Perl has dozens of frameworks and toolkits designed to make web development and deployment simpler.</p><p>Any of a dozen of these frameworks will help you do great things, but three in particular stand out. You can build web sites and web applications of tremendous value with all three. These are neither the only good possibilities (think of POE or Jifty or Continuity or...) nor the only mechanisms for web programming with Perl (see Mechanize or LWP or Mojo::UserAgent for more). Yet if you want three good options to choose between, start here.</p><h4>Catalyst</h4><p>The&nbsp;<a href="http://catalystframework.org/">Catalyst</a>&nbsp;framework is a flexible and powerful system for building small to large web apps. It uses the&nbsp;<a href="http://moose.perl.org/">Moose</a>&nbsp;object system to provide great APIs for extension and further development. It's the most mature of the modern top Perl web frameworks, yet it retains its flexibility and vibrancy. In particular, its plugin and extension ecosystem allows it to evolve to provide new and essential features.</p><p>Catalyst has embraced the Plack/PSGI standard for Perl web deployment and recent versions are exploring high-scalability, event-based request handling models.</p><h4>Dancer</h4><p>The&nbsp;<a href="http://perldancer.org/">Dancer</a>&nbsp;framework is deliberately minimal in syntax and scope, but it also has a vibrant plugin ecosystem. Dancer particularly excels for smaller sites and applications, though good programmers can build larger things with it.</p><p>The first version of Dancer was easy to use. Dancer 2 continues that ease while improving the internals and robustness of applications.</p><h4>Mojolicious</h4><p>The&nbsp;<a href="http://mojolicio.us/">Mojolicious</a>&nbsp;(Mojo) framework has a real-time design based on high performance event handling. Its focus is solving new and interesting problems in simple and effective ways, and the project has produced a lot of new code that does old things in better ways.</p><p>In particular, Mojolicious goes to great lengths to support new web standards, such as CSS 3, web sockets, and HTTP 2.</p><p>Where Catalyst embraces the CPAN fully, Mojolicious by design provides most of what an average app might need in a single download. It's still fully compatible with the CPAN, but the intention is to provide good working defaults in a package that's easy to start with. Mojo's fans are quick to praise it as fun to develop.</p><p>A modern Perl web developer should be familiar with at least one of these frameworks.</p><h4>Modern Perl Storage Mechanisms</h4><p>Perl's venerable&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI">DBI</a>&nbsp;module has been the focal point of database access since its invention. Its design allows it to provide the same interface to huge relational databases and flat files alike through its DBD extension mechanism. Yet the DBI by itself isn't the be-all, end-all of data storage and access in Perl.</p><h4>DBIx::Class</h4><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBIx::Class">DBIx::Class</a>&nbsp;sits on top of DBI to provide an API to your database based on the concept of queries and results. This is often sufficient to remove all but the most complicated of SQL from your code, leaving you to manipulate your business models instead of the small details of how a relational database works. The power and maintainability you receive is well the small cost of the learning curve.</p><p>Even better, DBIC can manage (and even generate) your database schema for you.</p><p>Recent versions of DBIC have demonstrated that a well-written ORM can perform much better than even clever hand-written code. Because it builds on the Perl DBI, it scales everywhere from SQLite to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and more.</p><h3>Rose::DB</h3><p>The lesser-known but no less powerful&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Rose::DB::Object">Rose::DB::Object</a>&nbsp;builds on&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Rose::DB">Rose::DB</a>&nbsp;to provide an object-relational mapper for Perl. While its high level features most directly compare to those of DBIx::Class, it's often measurably faster.</p><h4>NoSQL on the CPAN</h4><p>Of course the&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/">CPAN</a>&nbsp;has modules for almost any NoSQL database or job queue or persistence mechanism you could name, and several you have never heard of. Everything you need is a quick CPAN or cpanm away!</p><h4>Modern Perl Deployment Strategies</h4><p>In the early days of the web, deploying a Perl web application meant putting one or more&nbsp;<em>.cgi</em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>.pl</em>&nbsp;files in a special directory and hoping that your system administrator had everything configured correctly. The execution model was often slow and cumbersome, and accessing shared resources such as databases was often tricky.</p><p>Modern Perl has better choices. While deployment strategies are the source of many arguments, the return on your investment from learning the modern way is impressive.</p><h4>Plack/PSGI</h4><p>The PSGI specification (as exemplified by&nbsp;<a href="http://plackperl.org/">Plack</a>) describes a strategy for building Perl web apps independent of server and with the possibility to share custom processing behaviors.</p><p>In other words, it's a standard for writing Perl apps to take advantage of the huge ecosystem of Perl development available on the CPAN without tying yourself to a server like Apache, Apache 2, nginx, or anything else.</p><p>Any good modern Perl web framework (including those listed here) supports PSGI. Several deployment mechanisms exist to meet various business needs which also support PSGI. In particular, you can deploy the same application with a local testing server on your own machine as you can to your production server or servers without changing your application at all.</p><h4>mod_perl</h4><p>The older but still viable mod_perl Apache httpd module embeds Perl into the web server. This was the first widespread persistence mechanism for Perl web applications themselves and it's still popular to this day, though PSGI compliance is often the choice for new development. (PSGI handlers to use mod_perl as the backend are available.)</p><p>Modern Perl developers should familiarize themselves with PSGI and the wealth of available Plack middleware.</p><h4>Perl Web Development</h4><p>Of course no discussion of Perl web development would be complete without mentioning the strength of the CPAN. Almost any project will benefit from the wealth of freely available libraries built to solve real problems. These distributions run the gamut from full-blown web frameworks and content management systems to APIs for web services, development tools, testing systems, and interfaces to document formats and external resources.</p><p>For example, if you need to write a web service which accepts JSON data and produces Excel spreadsheets, you can glue together a few CPAN distributions and get the job done early. If you need to consume XML from a remote service and emit a PDF, you're in luck.</p><p>Perl's prowess as a general purpose programming language as well as its flexibility and power in managing text and gluing systems together make it a wonderful fit for web development. The community's adoption of modern Perl standards such as PSGI and Plack only enhance your power.</p><p>Web application development in Perl is still viable, and modern Perl tools and techniques and libraries make it more powerful and pleasant than ever.</p></div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Assembly Likelihood Evaluation (ALE) framework that overcomes these limitations, systematically evaluating the accuracy of an assembly in a reference-independent manner using rigorous statistical methods. This framework is comprehensive, and integrates read quality, mate pair orientation and insert length (for paired-end reads), sequencing coverage, read alignment and k-mer frequency. ALE pinpoints synthetic errors in both single and metagenomic assemblies, including single-base errors, insertions/deletions, genome rearrangements and chimeric assemblies presented in metagenomes. At the genome level with real-world data, ALE identifies three large misassemblies from the Spirochaeta smaragdinae finished genome, which were all independently validated by Pacific Biosciences sequencing. At the single-base level with Illumina data, ALE recovers 215 of 222 (97%) single nucleotide variants in a training set from a GC-rich Rhodobacter sphaeroides genome. Using real Pacific Biosciences data, ALE identifies 12 of 12 synthetic errors in a Lambda Phage genome, surpassing even Pacific Biosciences' own variant caller, EviCons. In summary, the ALE framework provides a comprehensive, reference-independent and statistically rigorous measure of single genome and metagenome assembly accuracy, which can be used to identify misassemblies or to optimize the assembly process.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Installing Perl GD Module]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div><p>In comparative genome analysis work, we usually compare more than two genomes and looks for syntenic regions amongst them. In my research I used Evolution Highway (RH) <a href="http://eh-demo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/">http://eh-demo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/</a>, which is a collaborative project designed to provide a visual means for simultaneously comparing genomes of multiple amniote species. The tool removes the burden of manually aligning these maps and allows cognitive skills to be used toward something more valuable than preparation and transformation of data. In addition to EH, attractive Circos (<a href="http://circos.ca/">http://circos.ca/</a>) is also very popular for this kind of analysis.</p><p>The EH is available online, and can be easily access and use, whereas Circos installation is not entirely straightforward. One of the most difficult parts of the installation involves installing the GD library. Since there weren't good instructions for installing this library on the internet I decided to post instructions here in case they are useful to anyone else.</p><p><strong>Following are the steps to install GD modules in Mac OS</strong><br /><br />1. Setup<br /><br />Create a folder for the files:<br /><br />$ mkdir -p /SourceCache<br />$ cd /SourceCache<br /><br />Get and unpack the required Jpeg-6b and GD libraries:<br />Download Jpeg-6b (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-desktop-for-linux-mirror/downloads/detail?name=jpeg-6b.tar.gz&amp;can=2&amp;q">http://code.google.com/p/google-desktop-for-linux-mirror/downloads/detail?name=jpeg-6b.tar.gz&amp;can=2&amp;q</a>)<br />Download GD (<a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Elds/GD-2.46/">http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD-2.46/</a>)<br /><br />Place the "tar.gz" files in "/SourceCache" and double click to unpack.<br /><br />2. Install libjpeg<br /><br />Copy the "config.sub" and "config.guess" files to "/SourceCache". Note that your "config.sub" and ""config.guess" files may be in a slightly different location. The commands below show where they were on my machine:<br /><br />$ cd /SourceCache/jpeg-6b/src<br />$ cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub .<br />$ cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess .<br /><br />Configure libjpeg as follows. Note that this was installed on a 64 bit machine. However, this method may configure it in a 32 bit format. This may not be the best way to configure the installation but it works.<br /><br />$ .configure --enable-shared<br />$ make<br /><br />Check to see if the following directories exist on your machine. Create the missing directories in the following manner:<br /><br />$ mkdir -p /usr/local/include<br />$ mkdir -p /usr/local/bin<br />$ mkdir -p /usr/local/lib<br />$ mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man1<br /><br />Finish making and installing libjpeg:<br /><br />$ make install<br /><br />3. Install GD<br /><br />$ cd /SourceCache/GD-2.46/GD/<br />$ perl Makefile.PL<br />$ make<br />$ make test (optional)<br />$ make html (optional)<br />$ make install</p><p><strong>Other way for Mac OS</strong><br />The easiest way to get a lot of these is with a program called Fink, which is similar in nature to the CPAN installer, but installs common GNU utilities. Fink is available from &lt;<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/%3E">http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/&gt;</a>.<br /><br />Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's installed, you'll want to run the following as root: fink install gd<br /><br />It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and hit enter to install all of the dependencies. Then watch it work.<br /><br />To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple installs by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at /sw where it installs most of the software that it installs. This means your libraries and headers for libgd will be at /sw/lib and /sw/include instead of /usr/lib and /usr/local/include. Because of these changed locations for the libraries, the Perl GD module will not install directly via CPAN, because it looks for the specific paths instead of getting them from your environment. But there's a way around that :-)<br /><br />Instead of typing "install GD" at the cpan&gt; prompt, type look GD. This should go through the motions of downloading the latest version of the GD module, then it will open a shell and drop you into the build directory. Apply below patch to the Makefile.PL file (save the patch into a file and use the command patch &lt; patchfile.)<br /><br />Then, run these commands to finish the installation of the GD module:<br /><br />perl Makefile.PL<br />make<br />make test<br />make install<br />And don't forget to run exit to get back to CPAN.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Install on MS Window, using PPM</strong></p><p>C:\Documents and Settings\Owner&gt;ppm<br />PPM interactive shell (2.2.0) - type 'help' for available commands.<br />PPM&gt; install GD<br />Install package 'GD?' (y/N): y<br />Installing package 'GD'...<br />Downloading <a href="http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/MSW">http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/MSW</a>. ...<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\GD\GD.bs<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\GD\GD.dll<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\GD\GD.exp<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\GD\GD.lib<br />Installing C:\Perl\html\site\lib\GD.html<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\GD.pm<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\qd.pl<br />Installing C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\GD\autosplit.ix<br />PPM&gt;<br /><br /><br />If you can't install it from ppm.

Once in the CPAN shell I entered<br /><br />$ install Bundle::CPAN<br /><br />and selected all of the defaults again. Once the CPAN bundle had finished installing I tried to install GD::Graph by typing<br /><br />$ install GD::Graph<br /><br />but it failed with hundreds of errors &ndash; the first of which was<br /><br />GD.xs:7:16: error: gd.h: No such file or directory<br /><br />This was fixed with the following apt-get command (in the bash shell)<br /><br />$ sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev<br /><br />back in the CPAN shell I still couldn&rsquo;t get GD::Graph to build and I guessed this was because of some left over files from the failed build. I don&rsquo;t know the command to clean things up inside the CPAN shell and am too lazy to read the docs so I simply went into the .cpan/build directory in my home directory and deleted anything that started with GD &ndash; eg<br /><br />$ rm -rf GD-2.35-HC_vkB<br /><br />$ rm -rf GDGraph-1.44-Evfibe<br /><br />and so on. Those strings at the end (VkB and so on) look random so they might be different on your machine. Then I went back into the CPAN shell and ran<br /><br />$ install GD::Graph<br /><br />There were a few dependencies which the script fetched and installed for me but everything worked smoothly.</p><p>Manual and other Perl Module instalation are mentioned in my previous blog @ <a href="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/blog/view/710/how-to-install-perl-modules-manually-using-cpan-command-and-other-quick-ways">http://bioinformaticsonline.com/blog/view/710/how-to-install-perl-modules-manually-using-cpan-command-and-other-quick-ways</a></p></div>]]></description>
