	<title><![CDATA[FERMI]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Fermi is a de novo assembler with a particular focus on assembling Illumina&nbsp;</span><span>short sequence reads from a mammal-sized genome. In addition to the role of a&nbsp;</span><span>typical assembler, fermi also aims to preserve heterozygotes which are often&nbsp;</span><span>collapsed by other assemblers. Its ultimate goal is to find a minimal set of</span><br><span>unitigs to represent all the information in raw reads.</span><br><br><span>Fermi follows the overlap-layout-consensus paradigm and uses the FM-DNA-index&nbsp;</span><span>(FMD-index) as the key data structure. It is inspired by the string graph&nbsp;</span><span>assembler (Simpson and Durbin, 2010 and 2012) and has a similar workflow.</span><br><br><span>As a typical de novo assembler, fermi tends to produce contigs with slightly&nbsp;</span><span>longer N50. However, the major weakness of fermi is the high misassembly rate.&nbsp;</span><span>Although fermi provides a tool to fix misassemblies by using paired-end reads&nbsp;</span><span>to achieve an accuracy comparable to other assemblers, this is not a favorable&nbsp;</span><span>solution.</span><br><br><span>Fermi is designed to be used on a multi-core Linux machine with large shared&nbsp;</span><span>memory. The easiest way to run fermi is to use the run-fermi.pl script. It&nbsp;</span><span>generates a Makefile. The actual assembly is done by invoking make. Premature&nbsp;</span><span>assembly processes can be resumed. Here is an example:</span><br><br><span>run-fermi.pl -dAPe ./fermi -p NA12878 -t16 -f18 reads*.fq.gz &gt; NA12878.mak</span><br><span>make -f NA12878.mak -j16</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/lh3/fermi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lh3/fermi</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Shinyheatmap]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Background: Transcriptomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, and other various next-generation sequencing (-omics) fields are known for their production of large datasets. Visualizing such big data has posed technical challenges in biology, both in terms of available computational resources as well as programming acumen. Since heatmaps are used to depict high-dimensional numerical data as a colored grid of cells, efficiency and speed have often proven to be critical considerations in the process of successfully converting data into graphics. For example, rendering interactive heatmaps from large input datasets (e.g., 100k+ rows) has been computationally infeasible on both desktop computers and web browsers. In addition to memory requirements, programming skills and knowledge have frequently been barriers-to-entry for creating highly customizable heatmaps. Results: We propose shinyheatmap: an advanced user-friendly heatmap software suite capable of efficiently creating highly customizable static and interactive biological heatmaps in a web browser. shinyheatmap is a low memory footprint program, making it particularly well-suited for the interactive visualization of extremely large datasets that cannot typically be computed in-memory due to size restrictions. Conclusions: shinyheatmap is hosted online as a freely available web server with an intuitive graphical user interface: http://shinyheatmap.com. The methods are implemented in R, and are available as part of the shinyheatmap project at: https://github.com/Bohdan-Khomtchouk/shinyheatmap.</span></p>

	<title><![CDATA[HybPiper]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>HybPiper was designed for targeted sequence capture, in which DNA sequencing libraries are enriched for gene regions of interest, especially for phylogenetics. HybPiper is a suite of Python scripts that wrap and connect bioinformatics tools in order to extract target sequences from high-throughput DNA sequencing reads.</p>
<p>Targeted bait capture is a technique for sequencing many loci simultaneously based on bait sequences. HybPiper pipeline starts with high-throughput sequencing reads (for example from Illumina MiSeq), and assigns them to target genes using BLASTx or BWA. The reads are distributed to separate directories, where they are assembled separately using SPAdes. The main output is a FASTA file of the (in frame) CDS portion of the sample for each target region, and a separate file with the translated protein sequence.</p>
<p>HybPiper also includes post-processing scripts, run after the main pipeline, to also extract the intronic regions flanking each exon, investigate putative paralogs, and calculate sequencing depth. For more information,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper/wiki/">please see our wiki</a>.</p>
<p>HybPiper is run separately for each sample (single or paired-end sequence reads). When HybPiper generates sequence files from the reads, it does so in a standardized directory hierarchy. Many of the post-processing scripts rely on this directory hierarchy, so do not modify it after running the initial pipeline. It is a good idea to run the pipeline for each sample from the same directory. You will end up with one directory per run of HybPiper, and some of the later scripts take advantage of this predictable directory structure.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mossmatters/HybPiper</a></p>]]></description>

	<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>

	<title><![CDATA[Progressive Cactus]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<h1><em style="font-size: 12.8px; font-weight: normal;">v0.0 by Glenn Hickey (<a href="mailto:hickey@soe.ucsc.edu">hickey@soe.ucsc.edu</a>)</em></h1>
<p>Progressive Cactus is a whole-genome alignment package.</p>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus#requirements"></a>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>git</li>
<li>gcc 4.2 or newer</li>
<li>python 2.7</li>
<li>wget</li>
<li>64bit processor and build environment</li>
<li>150GB+ of memory on at least one machine when aligning mammal-sized genomes; less memory is needed for smaller genomes.</li>
<li>Parasol or SGE for cluster support.</li>
<li>750M disk space</li>
</ul>
<h3><a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus#instructions"></a>Instructions</h3>
<p>IMPORTANT NOTE: Progressive Cactus does not presently support installation into paths that contain spaces. Until this is resolved, you can use a softlink as a workaround: ln -s "path with spaces" "installation path without spaces"</p>
<p>In the parent directory of where you want Progressive Cactus installed:</p>
<pre><code>git clone git://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus.git
cd progressiveCactus
git pull
git submodule update --init
make
</code></pre>
<p>It is also convenient to add the location of&nbsp;<code>progressiveCactus/bin</code>&nbsp;to your PATH environment variable. In order to run the included tools (ex hal2maf) in the submodules/ directory structure, first source&nbsp;<code>progressiveCactus/environment</code>&nbsp;to load the installed environment.</p>
<p>If any errors occur during the build process, you are unlikely to be able to use the tool. Please submit a GitHub issue so we can help out: not only will you help yourself, but others who wish to use the tool as well.</p>
<p><em>Note that all dependencies are also built and included in the submodules/ directory. This increases the size and build time but greatly simplifies installation and version management. The installation does not create or modify any files outside the progressiveCactus/ directory.</em></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/glennhickey/progressiveCactus</a></p>]]></description>
