	<title><![CDATA[PANDASEQ]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>PANDASEQ assembles paired-end Illumina reads into sequences, trying to correct for errors and uncalled bases. The assembler reads two files in FASTQ format with quality information. If amplification primers were used (e.g., to isolate a variable region of the 16S gene, or the constant regions around zinc finger binding residues), they can be removed from the sequence during assembly. The final sequence will correct any uncalled bases in the overlapping region using the complementary strand. When mismatches occur in the overlapping region, the base with the better quality score is chosen.<br>The algorithm is as follows:<br><br>1.Find the positions where the forward and reverse primers match best above the threshold and discard the ends of the sequence, including the primer.<br>2.Pick and overlap to maximise the probability of the forward and reverse reads having come from a single piece of DNA.<br>3.Identify the masking of the end of the read with the quality score B or # as done by CASAVA and adjust the probabilities in this region.<br>4.Construct an assembled sequence between the primers and calculate the quality.<br>5.Check for various constraints, including quality, length, uncalled bases, and user-supplied modules.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[CABOG: Celera Assembler with Best Overlap Graph]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>CABOG (Celera Assembler with Best Overlap Graph) is scientific software for&nbsp;<a href="http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/24/24/2818.abstract">DNA research</a>. CABOG has been a critical component of many genome sequencing projects. CABOG operates on small genomes such as bacterial as well as large genomes such as mammalian. CABOG is an extension of the Celera Assembler software that was originally developed at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.celera.com/">Celera</a>&nbsp;for the 2001 publication of the first draft human genome sequence. The software was released to the public domain in 2004. Its open source&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sf.net/">repository</a>&nbsp;on Source Forge is an internet resource for scientists around the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CABOG is one of many software programs called genome assemblers. These programs exist to overcome the fundamental limitation of all sequencing machines, namely, that they read out very few DNA letters at a time. These programs reconstruct genomes that are billions of letters long from the hundreds of letters per read that modern sequencers provide. What these programs do is often described as a scaled up version of a family solving a jigsaw puzzle.</p>
<p>The CABOG software was the first to accomplish many scientific goals. It was the first to assemble the genome of a multicellular organism (<em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>, 2000). It was the first to assemble both parental haplotypes of one human genome (J. Craig Venter, 2007). It was the first to assemble environmental sequence from the oceans (Sargasso Sea in 2004 and Global Ocean Sampling in 2007). It was first to combine reads from first-generation Sanger sequencing machines and second-generation pyrosequencing machines (Marine microbes, 2006). Today, CABOG is one of the leading assembly programs for data sets that include paired end data from the Roche 454 line of sequencing machines.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.jcvi.org/cms/research/projects/cabog/overview/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcvi.org/cms/research/projects/cabog/overview/</a></p>]]></description>

MeDuSa exploits information obtained from a set of (draft or closed) genomes from related organisms to determine the correct order and orientation of the contigs. MeDuSa formalises the scaffolding problem by means of a combinatorial optimisation formulation on graphs and implements an efficient constant factor approximation algorithm to solve it. In contrast to currently used scaffolders, it does not require either prior knowledge on the microrganisms dataset under analysis (e.g. their phylogenetic relationships) or the availability of paired end read libraries.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/combogenomics/medusa" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/combogenomics/medusa</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Referee: Genome assembly quality scores]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Modern genome sequencing technologies provide a succint measure of quality at each position in every read, however all of this information is lost in the assembly process. Referee summarizes the quality information from the reads that map to a site in an assembled genome to calculate a quality score for each position in the genome assembly.</p>
<p>We accomplish this by first calculating genotype likelihoods for every site. For a given site in a diploid genome, there are 10 possible genotypes (AA, AC, AG, AT, CC, CG, CT, GG, GT, TT). Referee takes as input the genotype likelihoods calculated for all 10 genotypes given the called reference base at each position.</p>
<h3>Referee is a program to calculate a quality score for every position in a genome assembly. This allows for easy filtering of low quality sites for any downstream analysis.</h3>

	<title><![CDATA[ScaffMatch]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>caffMatch is a novel scaffolding tool based on Maximum-Weight Matching able to produce high-quality scaffolds from NGS data (reads and contigs). The tool is written in Python 2.7. It also includes a bash script wrapper that calls aligner in case one needs to first map reads to contigs (instead of providing .sam files).</p>
<p>The arguments accepted by ScaffMatch are:</p>
<p>&nbsp; -w) Working directory -- this is the directory where ScaffMatch files are stored. These are .sam files produced after mapping reads to contigs and the resulting scaffolds file `scaffolds.fa` fasta file;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -c) Contig fasta file;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -m) Command line argument with no options. It is used when .sam files are used instead of reads .fastq files. Do not use this option if you provide reads files;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -1) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the first read of the read pair;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -2) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the second read of the read pair;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -i) (Comma separated list of) insert size(s) of the library(-ies);</p>
<p>&nbsp; -s) (Comma separated list of) library(-ies) standard deviation(s) of insert size(s);</p>
<p>&nbsp; -t) Bundle threshold. Pairs of contigs supported by number of read pairs less than the value of this argument are discarded. Optional argument, by default it is equal to 5;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -g) Matching heuristics: use `max_weight` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics with the Insertion step, use `backbone` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics without the Insertion step, use `greedy` for Greedy Matching heuristics;</p>
<p>&nbsp; -l) Log file - where to store the logs. Optional argument. By default, stdout is used.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://alan.cs.gsu.edu/NGS/?q=content/scaffmatch" rel="nofollow">http://alan.cs.gsu.edu/NGS/?q=content/scaffmatch</a></p>]]></description>
