	<title><![CDATA[DarkHorse]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><em>DarkHorse</em>&nbsp;is a bioinformatic method for rapid, automated identification and ranking of phylogenetically atypical proteins on a genome-wide basis. It works by selecting potential ortholog matches from a reference database of amino acid sequences, then using these matches to calculate a lineage probability index (LPI) score for each genome protein.</p>
<p>LPI scores are inversely proportional to the phylogenetic distance between database match sequences and the query genome. These scores are useful not only for large-scale<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;predictions of horizontally transferred proteins, but can also serve as an independent quality control test for potential horizontal transfer candidates identified by alternative methods, especially those based on nucleic acid signatures. Candidates having high LPI scores are unlikely to have been horizontally transferred, since they are highly conserved among closely related organisms.</p>
<p>One unique and powerful feature of the DarkHorse HGT Candidate database is the opportunity to explore the phylogenetic background of potential HGT donors as well as recipients. The breadth of the database allows not only query sequences, but also their database match partners to be evaluated for sequence similarity or novelty compared to taxonomically related organisms.</p>
<p><em>DarkHorse</em>&nbsp;is configurable for varying degrees of phylogenetic granularity and protein sequence conservation. Users should consult the&nbsp;<a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/#references">references</a>&nbsp;cited below for a complete explanation of parameter selection and result interpretation. A brief&nbsp;<a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/tutorial.html">tutorial</a>&nbsp;page is also available on-line.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://darkhorse.ucsd.edu/download.html</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>maftools - An R package to summarize, analyze and visualize MAF files. <a href="https://github.com/PoisonAlien/maftools#introduction"></a>Introduction.</p>
<p>With advances in Cancer Genomics, Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) is being widley accepted and used to store variants detected. <a href="http://cancergenome.nih.gov">The Cancer Genome Atlas</a> Project has seqenced over 30 different cancers with sample size of each cancer type being over 200. The <a href="https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/TCGA/TCGA+MAF+Files">resulting data</a> consisting of genetic variants is stored in the form of <a href="https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/TCGA/Mutation+Annotation+Format+%28MAF%29+Specification">Mutation Annotation Format</a>. This package attempts to summarize, analyze, annotate and visualize MAF files in an efficient manner either from TCGA sources or any in-house studies as long as the data is in MAF format. Maftools can also handle ICGC Simple Somatic Mutation format.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Scallop is an accurate reference-based transcript assembler. Scallop features its high accuracy in assembling multi-exon transcripts as well as lowly expressed transcripts. Scallop achieves this improvement through a novel algorithm that can be proved preserving all phasing paths from reads and paired-end reads, while also achieves both transcripts parsimony and coverage deviation minimization.</p>
<p>Scallop paper has been published at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.4020"><span>Nature Biotechnology</span></a>. The datasets and scripts used in this paper to compare the performance of Scallop and other assemblers are available at&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/Kingsford-Group/scalloptest"><span>scalloptest</span></a>.</p>
