	<title><![CDATA[ABACAS]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>ABACAS is intended to rapidly contiguate (align, order, orientate) , visualize and design primers to close gaps on shotgun assembled contigs based on a reference sequence. It uses MUMmer to find alignment positions and identify syntenies of assembly contigs against the reference. The output is then processed to generate a pseudomolecule taking overlaping contigs and gaps in to account. MUMmer's alignment generating programs, Nucmer and Promer are used followed by the 'delta-filter' utility function. Users could also run tblastx on contigs that are not used to generate the pseudomolecule.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://abacas.sourceforge.net/Manual.html#9._Colour_code" rel="nofollow">http://abacas.sourceforge.net/Manual.html#9._Colour_code</a></p>]]></description>

A user can additionally import their own custom sequence and annotation data. Individual annotation objects are displayed in Sockeye by using custom 3D models. Ensembl-derived and imported sequences can be analyzed by using a suite of multiple and pair-wise alignment algorithms. The results of these comparative analyses are also displayed in the 3D environment of Sockeye. By using the Java3D API to visualize genomic data in a 3D environment, we are able to compactly display cross-sequence comparisons. This provides the user with a novel platform for visualizing and comparing genomic feature organization.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/sockeye/releases/1.3" rel="nofollow">http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/sockeye/releases/1.3</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>BioPerl is a compilation of Perl modules that can be used to build bioinformatics-related Perl scripts. It is used, for example, in the development of source codes, standalone software/tools, and algorithms in bioinformatics programmes. Different modules are easy to instal and include, making it easier to perform different functions. Despite the fact that Python is commonly favoured over Perl, some bioinformatics software, such as the standalone version of 'alienomics', is written in Perl. Often it's a major problem for beginners to execute certain Unix/shell commands in Perl script, so it's hard to determine which feature is unique to a situation.</p><div style="background-color: white;">Perl provides various features and operators for the execution of external commands (described as follows), which are unique in their own way.</div><div style="background-color: white;">&nbsp;</div><div style="background-color: white;">They vary slightly from one another, making it difficult for Perl beginners to choose between them.</div><div style="background-color: white;">&nbsp;</div><div style="background-color: white;"><strong>1.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MetaBAT, An Efficient Tool for Accurately Reconstructing Single Genomes from Complex Microbial Communities</p>
<p>Grouping large genomic fragments assembled from shotgun metagenomic sequences to deconvolute complex microbial communities, or metagenome binning, enables the study of individual organisms and their interactions. Here we developed an automated metagenome binning software, called MetaBAT, which integrates empirical probabilistic distances of genome abundance and tetranucleotide frequency. Tested on both synthetic and real metagenome datasets, MetaBAT outperforms alternative methods in both accuracy and computational efficiency. Applying MetaBAT to an assembly from 1,704 human gut samples formed 1,634 genome bins (&gt;200kb) in 3 hours, where 621 genome bins are &gt;50% complete with &lt;5% contamination from other species. Further analysis shows that the quality of these genome bins approaches manually curated genomes.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat</a></p>]]></description>
