<li>use 4 threads</li>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>An efficient tool called Connecting Overlapped Pair-End (COPE) reads, to connect overlapping pair-end reads using k-mer frequencies. We evaluated our tool on 30&times; simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE connected over 99% of reads with 98.8% accuracy, which is, respectively, 10 and 2% higher than the recently published tool FLASH. When COPE is applied to real reads for genome assembly, the resulting contigs are found to have fewer errors and give a 14-fold improvement in the N50 measurement when compared with the contigs produced using unconnected reads.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope" rel="nofollow">ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Magic-BLAST is a tool for mapping large next-generation RNA or DNA sequencing runs against a whole genome or transcriptome. Each alignment optimizes a composite score, taking into account simultaneously the two reads of a pair, and in case of RNA-seq, locating the candidate introns and adding up the score of all exons. This is very different from other versions of BLAST, where each exon is scored as a separate hit and read-pairing is ignored.</p>
<p>Magic-BLAST incorporates within the NCBI BLAST code framework ideas developed in the NCBI Magic pipeline, in particular hit extensions by local walk and jump&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26109056">(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26109056)</a>, and recursive clipping of mismatches near the edges of the reads, which avoids accumulating artefactual mismatches near splice sites and is needed to distinguish short indels from substitutions near the edges.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://ncbi.github.io/magicblast/" rel="nofollow">https://ncbi.github.io/magicblast/</a></p>]]></description>
