	<description><![CDATA[<p>FastGT is a program package for whole-genome genotyping of genome variants directly from raw sequencing reads. It is written in C and runs in Linux. FastGT uses a list of variant-specific k-mer pairs that are unique in human genome, counts the frequency of k-mers in sequencing data and predicts the genotype. All this takes less than 1 hour on average low-cost Linux server.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>HASLR, a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads to efficiently generate accurate genome assemblies. Our experiments show that HASLR is not only the fastest assembler but also the one with the lowest number of misassemblies on all the samples compared to other tested assemblers. Furthermore, the generated assemblies in terms of contiguity and accuracy are on par with the other tools on most of the samples. Availability.

	<title><![CDATA[Scalpel]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has released an algorithm, called Scalpel, for finding insertions and deletions in next generation sequencing data sets. Scalpel, which is open source and <a href="http://scalpel.sourceforge.net/" title="available for download">available for download</a> on SourceForge,&nbsp;<span>outperformed the popular tools GATK HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel in test runs on both simulated and real whole human exomes.</span></p><p>Like other indel callers, Scalpel works by performing <em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembly of regions of interest, so that misalignment to the reference genome cannot obscure the presence of an insertion or deletion. Scalpel's innovation is to repeatedly check its assembly before comparing to the reference genome, to account for simple sequence repeats that are a regular source of error in indel calling. When Scalpel assembles an exon, it collects reads that map to that exon (including partial matches), splits them into k-mers, and creates a de Bruijn graph to span the exon; however, if it detects repeats in the map, it iteratively increases the size of the k-mers by one base until the repeats are eliminated. This ensures that the final assembly of the exon is highly accurate while minimizing compute time.</p><p>The Cold Spring Harbor team's validation of Scalpel, <a href="http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.3069.html" title="published over the weekend in Nature Methods">published over the weekend in <em>Nature Methods</em></a>, compares Scalpel's performance on a live whole exome against HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel. The donor is an individual with serious neurological disorders, which may be linked to a high incidence of indels. One thousand indels from this individual's exome, called by one or more of the informatics pipelines, were selected for focused resequencing. This resequencing revealed a 77% true positive rate for Scalpel calls, dramatically better than the rates for either of the competing tools; Scalpel performed especially well with indels longer than five base pairs, a traditional weak point for indel callers.</p><p>Finally, the authors demonstrate Scalpel's use on a large set of genetic data from nearly 600 families who donated samples to the Simons Simplex Collection, a project of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. Scalpel found a very high enrichment for indels in children affected by autism, compared with their unaffected siblings, a pattern that persisted even after excluding common variants.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Prodigal (</span><strong>Pro</strong><span>karyotic&nbsp;</span><strong>Dy</strong><span>namic Programming&nbsp;</span><strong>G</strong><span>enefinding&nbsp;</span><strong>Al</strong><span>gorithm) is a microbial (bacterial and archaeal) gene finding program developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee. Key features of Prodigal include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Speed</strong>: Prodigal is an extremely fast gene recognition tool (written in very vanilla C). It can analyze an entire microbial genome in 30 seconds or less.</li>
<li><strong>Accuracy</strong>: Prodigal is a highly accurate gene finder. It correctly locates the 3' end of every gene in the experimentally verified Ecogene data set (except those containing introns). It possesses a very sophisticated ribosomal binding site scoring system that enables it to locate the translation initiation site with great accuracy (96% of the 5' ends in the Ecogene data set are located correctly).</li>
<li><strong>Specificity</strong>: Prodigal's false positive rate compares favorably with other gene identification programs, and usually falls under 5%.</li>
<li><strong>GC-Content Indifferent</strong>: Prodigal performs well even in high GC genomes, with over a 90% perfect match (5'+3') to the&nbsp;<em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em>&nbsp;curated annotations.</li>
<li><strong>Metagenomic Version</strong>: Prodigal can run in metagenomic mode and analyze sequences even when the organism is unknown.</li>
<li><strong>Ease of Use</strong>: Prodigal can be run in one step on a single genomic sequence or on a draft genome containing many sequences. It does not need to be supplied with any knowledge of the organism, as it learns all the properties it needs to on its own.</li>
<li><strong>Open Source</strong>: Prodigal source code is freely available under the General Public License.</li>
</ul>
