	<title><![CDATA[Steps to find all the repeats in the genome !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<div><p>To find repeats in a genome from 2 to 9 length using a Perl script, you can use the RepeatMasker tool with the "--length" option<a href="https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1759-8753-5-13" target="_blank">[0]</a>. Here's a step-by-step guide:</p></div><div><ol>
<li>Install RepeatMasker: First, you need to install RepeatMasker on your system. You can download it from the RepeatMasker website<a href="https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1759-8753-5-13" target="_blank">[0]</a>.</li>
</ol></div><div><ol>
<li>Prepare the genome sequence: Make sure you have the genome sequence in a FASTA file format. Let's assume the file is named "genome.fasta".</li>
</ol><blockquote><p>./RepeatMasker -pa &lt;number_of_processors&gt; -nolow -norna -no_is -div &lt;divergence_value&gt; -lib RepeatMaskerLib.embl -gff -xsmall -small -poly -species &lt;species_name&gt; -dir &lt;output_directory&gt; -length &lt;min_length&gt;-&lt;max_length&gt; genome.fasta</p></blockquote><div><p>Replace the following placeholders with appropriate values:</p><ul>
<li><code>&lt;number_of_processors&gt;</code>: The number of processors/threads you want to use for parallel processing.</li>
<li><code>&lt;divergence_value&gt;</code>: The divergence value for the species you are analyzing. You can find divergence values for different species in the RepeatMasker documentation<a href="https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1759-8753-5-13" target="_blank">[0]</a>.</li>
<li><code>&lt;species_name&gt;</code>: The name of the species you are analyzing.</li>
<li><code>&lt;output_directory&gt;</code>: The directory where you want the output files to be saved.</li>
<li><code>&lt;min_length&gt;</code>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<code>&lt;max_length&gt;</code>: The minimum and maximum lengths of the repeats you want to find (in this case, 2 and 9).</li>
</ul></div><div><ol>
<li>Analyze the output: RepeatMasker will generate several output files, including a .out file. You can parse this file to extract the information you need. There is a Perl tool called "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" that can help you parse RepeatMasker output files<a href="https://mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1759-8753-5-13" target="_blank">[0]</a>. You can download it from the source provided.</li>
</ol></div><div><ol>
<li>Use the provided Perl script: Once you have the "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" script, you can run it to conveniently parse the RepeatMasker output files. Here's an example of how to use it:</li>
</ol><blockquote><p>perl one_code_to_find_them_all.pl --rm &lt;RepeatMasker_out_file&gt; --length &lt;length_file&gt;</p></blockquote></div><p>&nbsp;</p></div><div><div><p>Replace&nbsp;<code>&lt;RepeatMasker_out_file&gt;</code>&nbsp;with the path to your RepeatMasker .out file, and&nbsp;<code>&lt;length_file&gt;</code>&nbsp;with the path to a file containing the lengths of the reference elements.</p></div><div><p>This script will generate several output files, including .log.txt and .copynumber.csv, which contain quantitative information about the identified repeat elements.</p></div><div><p>Remember to adjust the parameters and options according to your specific needs and the characteristics of your genome.</p></div></div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MGRA (Multiple Genome Rearrangements and Ancestors) is a tool for reconstruction of ancestor genomes and evolutionary history of extant genomes.</p>
<p>It takes as an input a set of genomes represented as sequences of genes (or synteny blocks) and produces such sequences for ancestral genomes at the internal nodes of the phylogenetic tree.</p>
<p>The phylogenetic tree may be also specified completely or partially, in the latter case MGRA can reconstruct conserved ancestral regions (CARs) of the ancestral genome of interest.</p>
<p>Since version 2 MGRA supports gene insertion and deletions in addition to genome rearrangements and allows the input genomes to have different gene content.</p>
<p>It also can reconstruct most plausible phylogenetic tree based on the rearrangement characters.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://mgra.cblab.org/" rel="nofollow">http://mgra.cblab.org/</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Satsuma is a whole-genome synteny alignment program. It takes two genomes, computes alignments, and then keeps only the parts that are orthologous, i.e. following the conserved order and orientation of features, such as protein coding genes, non-coding genes, or neutral sequences. Satsuma does not require any pre-processing, such as repeat masking, since it will automatically detect ambiguous mappings.<br> <br> Satsuma has parallelization built-in and is designed to run on multi-core architectures. The run-time for aligning two bird-size genomes (~1.2 Gb) is around two days on 24 CPUs. <br> <br> You can find the manual <a href="http://satsuma.sourceforge.net/manual.html">here</a>.<br> Download the latest source code from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/satsuma/">here.</a><br> Stable versions can also be downloaded from the <a href="https://www.broadinstitute.org/science/programs/genome-biology/spines">Broad Institute's</a> web site.<br> <br> An incomplete list of questions and answers (yes, these have really been asked by our users!

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Kraken is an ultrafast and highly accurate program for assigning taxonomic labels to metagenomic DNA sequences. Previous programs designed for this task have been relatively slow and computationally expensive, forcing researchers to use faster abundance estimation programs, which only classify small subsets of metagenomic data. Using exact alignment of <em>k</em>-mers, Kraken achieves classification accuracy comparable to the fastest BLAST program. In its fastest mode, Kraken classifies 100 base pair reads at a rate of over 4.1 million reads per minute, 909 times faster than Megablast and 11 times faster than the abundance estimation program MetaPhlAn. Kraken is available at <a href="http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/kraken/" target="pmc_ext">http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/kraken/</a>.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[FSA: Fast Statistical Alignment]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>FSA is a probabilistic multiple sequence alignment algorithm which uses a "distance-based" approach to aligning homologous protein, RNA or DNA sequences. Much as distance-based phylogenetic reconstruction methods like Neighbor-Joining build a phylogeny using only pairwise divergence estimates, FSA builds a multiple alignment using only pairwise estimations of homology. This is made possible by the sequence annealing technique for constructing a multiple alignment from pairwise comparisons, developed by Ariel Schwartz in&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2007/EECS-2007-39.html">"Posterior Decoding Methods for Optimization and Control of Multiple Alignments</a><span>."</span></p>
<p>FSA brings the high accuracies previously available only for small-scale analyses of proteins or RNAs to large-scale problems such as aligning thousands of sequences or megabase-long sequences. FSA introduces several novel methods for constructing better alignments:</p>
<ul>
<li>FSA uses machine-learning techniques to estimate gap and substitution parameters on the fly for each set of input sequences. This "query-specific learning" alignment method makes FSA very robust: it can produce superior alignments of sets of homologous sequences which are subject to very different evolutionary constraints.</li>
<li>FSA is capable of aligning hundreds or even thousands of sequences using a randomized inference algorithm to reduce the computational cost of multiple alignment. This randomized inference can be over ten times faster than a direct approach with little loss of accuracy.</li>
<li>FSA can quickly align very long sequences using the "anchor annealing" technique for resolving anchors and projecting them with transitive anchoring. It then stitches together the alignment between the anchors using the methods described above.</li>
<li>The included GUI, MAD (Multiple Alignment Display), can display the intermediate alignments produced by FSA, where each character is colored according to the probability that it is correctly aligned (see the picture and&nbsp;<a href="http://fsa.sourceforge.net/images/Suchard_SIV.fsa.mov">movie</a>&nbsp;at the top of the page).</li>
</ul>
