<p>TULIP currently consists of to Perl scripts, tulipseed.perl and tulipbulb.perl.

Tulipbulb adds long read sequencing data to these.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>To run the application on UNIX from the downloaded jar file run the UNIX:</p>
<p><tt>java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar</tt></p>
<p>and extra command line options are given when '-h' is used:</p>
<p><tt>java -jar BamView.jar -h</tt></p>
<p>BAM files can be specified on the command line with the '-a' option:</p>
<p><tt>java -mx512m -jar BamView.jar -a pathToFile/sorted.bam</tt></p>
<p>If a BAM filename is not given on the command line BamView will prompt for a file to be entered. The BAM index file should have the same name as the BAM file but with a '.bai' suffix. Multiple BAM files can be loaded and overlaid in the viewer. To make this easier BamView will read in files that contain a list of filenames.</p>

<p>We&rsquo;re an unconventional team with backgrounds in various fields &ndash; both inside and outside of academia. And through our lens, it&rsquo;s clear that academia deeply undervalues and underserves its very own community!<span> </span></p>
