	<title><![CDATA[ALE: a Generic Assembly Likelihood Evaluation Framework for Assessing the Accuracy of Genome and Metagenome Assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Assembly Likelihood Evaluation (ALE) framework that overcomes these limitations, systematically evaluating the accuracy of an assembly in a reference-independent manner using rigorous statistical methods. This framework is comprehensive, and integrates read quality, mate pair orientation and insert length (for paired-end reads), sequencing coverage, read alignment and k-mer frequency. ALE pinpoints synthetic errors in both single and metagenomic assemblies, including single-base errors, insertions/deletions, genome rearrangements and chimeric assemblies presented in metagenomes. At the genome level with real-world data, ALE identifies three large misassemblies from the Spirochaeta smaragdinae finished genome, which were all independently validated by Pacific Biosciences sequencing. At the single-base level with Illumina data, ALE recovers 215 of 222 (97%) single nucleotide variants in a training set from a GC-rich Rhodobacter sphaeroides genome. Using real Pacific Biosciences data, ALE identifies 12 of 12 synthetic errors in a Lambda Phage genome, surpassing even Pacific Biosciences' own variant caller, EviCons. In summary, the ALE framework provides a comprehensive, reference-independent and statistically rigorous measure of single genome and metagenome assembly accuracy, which can be used to identify misassemblies or to optimize the assembly process.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Smash is a completely alignment-free method/tool to find and visualise genomic rearrangements</strong><span>. The detection is based on&nbsp;</span><strong>conditional exclusive compression</strong><span>, namely using a FCM (Markov model), of high context order (typically 20). For visualisation, Smash outputs a&nbsp;</span><strong>SVG image</strong><span>, with an&nbsp;</span><strong>ideogram</strong><span>output architecture, where the patterns are represented with several&nbsp;</span><strong>HSV values</strong><span>&nbsp;(only value varies). The method can perform both in small- and large-scale. Nevertheless is more directed to large-scale since that the main aim of the research is to&nbsp;</span><strong>know where the large-scale [chromosomal by chromosome] of several primates was equal/different, having at a glance a map of the entire genomes</strong><span>.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/software/smash/" rel="nofollow">http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/software/smash/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[CNIDARIA: fast, reference-free phylogenomic clustering]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Motivation: Identification of biological specimens is a major requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without relying on prior knowledge, but these do not scale to arbitrarily large genomes and arbitrarily large phylogenetic distances.</p>
<p>Results: We present Cnidaria, a practical tool for clustering genomic and transcriptomic data with no limitation on ge-nome size or phylogenetic distances. We successfully simultaneously clustered 169 genomic and transcriptomic datasets from 4 kingdoms, achieving 100% accuracy at supra-species level and 78% accuracy for species level.</p>
<p>Availability and Implementation: Cnidaria is written in C++ and Python and is available at http://www.ab.wur.nl/cnidaria.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Kaiju]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Kaiju is a program for the taxonomic classification of metagenomic high-throughput sequencing reads. Each read is directly assigned to a taxon within the NCBI taxonomy by comparing it to a reference database containing microbial and viral protein sequences.</p>
<p>By default, Kaiju uses either the available complete genomes from NCBI RefSeq or the microbial subset of the non-redundant protein database <em>nr</em> used by NCBI BLAST, optionally also including fungi and microbial eukaryotes.</p>
<p>Kaiju translates reads into amino acid sequences, which are then searched in the database using a modified backward search on a memory-efficient implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler transform, which finds maximum exact matches (MEMs), optionally allowing mismatches in the protein alignment. The search can process up to millions of reads per minute using, for example, only 10 GB RAM with a protein database comprising 4821 microbial genomes. Kaiju can also be used for querying any other protein database without taxonomic classification, using either protein or nucleotide queries.</p>
<p>Kaiju is described in <a href="http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160413/ncomms11257/full/ncomms11257.html">Menzel, P. et al. (2016) Fast and sensitive taxonomic classification for metagenomics with Kaiju. <em>Nat.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Function</p>
<p>WiseScaffolder is a stand-alone semi-automatic application for genome scaffolding of pre-assembled contigs using mate-pair data. It also produces editable scaffold maps, allowing either to build gapped scaffolds or usable as a common thread for the manual improvement of scaffolds.</p>
<p>Description&nbsp;</p>
<p>WiseScaffolder includes 4 subcommands: dumpconfig generates a configuration file that notably specifies the average insert size of the mate-pair library preprocess allows the detection and correction of chimerae, the estimation of contigs copy number and produces valuable outputs for the manual improvement of scaffolds scaffold constitutes the central scaffold-builder and comprises two modules:</p>
<p>i) the interative_scaffold_extender, which works with big, unambiguous contigs, or when they run out, single copy contigs, and</p>
<p>ii) the small_contig_inserter, which inserts the small contigs within scaffolds buildfasta converts the scaffold(s) map(s) into Fasta sequences.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://abims.sb-roscoff.fr/wisescaffolder" rel="nofollow">http://abims.sb-roscoff.fr/wisescaffolder</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Beagle]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Beagle is a software package that performs genotype calling, genotype phasing, imputation of ungenotyped markers, and identity-by-descent segment detection.</p>
<p>Beagle version 4.1 has a more accurate genotype phasing algorithm and a very fast and accurate genotype imputation algorithm. Version 4.1 also has several changes to the command line arguments which are described in the&nbsp;<a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/browning/beagle/release_notes" target="_blank">release notes</a>. The "ped" argument has no effect in version 4.1. If your data contains nuclear families and you want to model the parent-offspring relationships when phasing genotypes, please use&nbsp;<a href="https://faculty.washington.edu/browning/beagle/b4_0.html">version 4.0</a>.</p>
