	<description><![CDATA[<p>The software package SiLiX implements<strong>&nbsp;an ultra-efficient algorithm for the clustering of homologous sequences</strong>, based on single transitive links (<em>single linkage</em>) with alignment coverage constraints.</p>
<p>SiLiX adopts a graph-theoretical framework to interpret similarity pairs as edges of a network. A very efficient algorithm, based on the&nbsp;<em>Disjoint Sets Data Structure</em>, allows the computation of sequence families with&nbsp;<strong>low time and space requirements</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>A parallel version</strong>&nbsp;of SiLiX, based on MPI, is also available in this package and has been proved to be scalable, so that its allows the study of&nbsp;<strong>very large datasets</strong>.</p>
<p>SiLiX is already included in the analysis pipeline for&nbsp;<a href="http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/databases/hogenom/acceuil.php">HOGENOM</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/SiLiX?lang=fr" rel="nofollow">http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/SiLiX?lang=fr</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Sequence alignment algorithms are widely used to infer similarirty and the point of differences between pair of sequences. FOGSAA is a fast Global alignment algorithm. It is basically a branch and bound approach which starts branch expansion in a greedy way taking the symbols from the given pair of sequences (protein or nucleotide) and results in an optimal alignment faster than conventional dymanic programming techniques. It is also better than the heuristic methods with respect to alignment quality.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.isical.ac.in/~bioinfo_miu/FOGSAA.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.isical.ac.in/~bioinfo_miu/FOGSAA.htm</a></p>]]></description>

Pipeline options:
--only-error-correction runs only read error correction (without assembling)
--only-assembler        runs only assembling (without read error correction)
--careful               tries to reduce number of mismatches and short indels
--continue              continue run from the last available check-point
--restart-from  &lt;cp&gt;    restart run with updated options and from the specified check-point ('ec', 'as', 'k&lt;int&gt;', 'mc')
--disable-gzip-output   forces error correction not to compress the corrected reads
--disable-rr            disables repeat resolution stage of assembling

Advanced options:
--dataset       &lt;filename&gt;      file with dataset description in YAML format
-t/--threads    &lt;int&gt;           number of threads
                                [default: 16]
-m/--memory     &lt;int&gt;           RAM limit for SPAdes in Gb (terminates if exceeded)
                                [default: 250]
--tmp-dir       &lt;dirname&gt;       directory for temporary files
                                [default: &lt;output_dir&gt;/tmp]
-k              &lt;int,int,...&gt;   comma-separated list of k-mer sizes (must be odd and
                                less than 128) [default: 'auto']
--cov-cutoff    &lt;float&gt;         coverage cutoff value (a positive float number, or 'auto', or 'off') [default: 'off']
--phred-offset  &lt;33 or 64&gt;      PHRED quality offset in the input reads (33 or 64)
                                [default: auto-detect]
</code></pre></div><p>As you can see this is also a &ldquo;pipeline&rdquo; of tools that can be switched on or off. SPAdes takes quite a long time, so for the purposes of this practical, something like this may suffice:</p><div><pre><code>spades.py -t 4 <span>\</span>
          -m 32 <span>\</span>
          -k 31,51,71 <span>\</span>
          --only-assembler <span>\</span>
          -1 miseq.1.fastq -2 miseq.2.fastq <span>\</span>
          --nanopore minion.fastq <span>\</span>
          -o hybrid_assembly
</code></pre></div><p>In turn, these parameters mean</p><ul>
<li>use 4 threads</li>
<li>max memory is 32Gb</li>
<li>use 3 kmer values to build the de bruijn graph(s) - 31, 51 and 71</li>
<li>only run the assembler, not the correction algorithm (for speed)</li>
<li>read 1 and read 2 of the MiSeq data</li>
<li>the nanopore data</li>
<li>put the output in folder &ldquo;hybrid_assembly&rdquo;</li>
</ul>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[A Brief Bioinformatics Tutorial]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>This is about how to use a computer to find what is known about a gene of interest and also how to get new insights about it.</p>
<p>The tutorial is divided in three main parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the <strong>Sequence </strong>part, you will see how to look efficiently for a particular protein sequence, how to blast it against the database of your choice to find homologues, how to perform a multiple alignment of the homologues you've selected and how to edit this alignment.</li>
<li>The <strong>Structure </strong>part is about molecular visualization, homology modeling and structural domain prediction.</li>
<li>In the <strong>Function </strong>part, you will be introduced to you 3 useful servers to investigate the function of a protein. i.e. finding interactors, co-expressed genes, see a phylogenetic profile, easily access papers citing your gene etc ...</li>
</ul>
<p>During all the three parts, we will use the <em>S. cerevisiae </em>VPS36 protein as an example.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlw/text/bioinfo_tuto/introduction.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlw/text/bioinfo_tuto/introduction.html</a></p>]]></description>
