	<description><![CDATA[<p>You as a bioinformatican run lots of program on your servers. Sometime the shared server is also used by your colleague. If server is busy you sometime need to check the running programs and want to monitor the running programs as well. The "top" command will come in handy when you need to find out if things are still running, how long they&rsquo;ve been running, or how much memory is being used.<br /><br />&lsquo;top&rsquo; is very simple to run: type<br /><br />%% top<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll get a screen that looks like this, and is updated regularly:<br /><br /><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/top.png" width="659" height="582" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"><br />Simple, right? Heh.<br /><br />First! Note that you can use &lsquo;q&rsquo; or &lsquo;CTRL-C&rsquo; to exit from &lsquo;top&rsquo;.<br /><br />Now let&rsquo;s read and understand at each line independently.<br /><br />The first line:<br /><br />top - 23:00:48 up 39 days,&nbsp; 2 user,&nbsp; load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00<br /><br />The first line tells you the current time, how long the machine has been up, how many users are logged in, and the short/medium/long-term compute load on the machine. If you run something for a long time, you&rsquo;ll see these numbers go up. Right now, the machine is basically just sitting there, so these are all close to 0.<br /><br />The second line:</p><p>Tasks:&nbsp; 239 total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 running,&nbsp; 238 sleeping,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 stopped,&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 zombie<br /><br />This line tells you how many processes are running. If you are using laptops machines it&rsquo;s not so interesting because you really are the only one using this machine.<br /><br />Cpu(s):&nbsp; 0.0%us,&nbsp; 0.0%sy,&nbsp; 0.0%ni,100.0%id,&nbsp; 0.0%wa,&nbsp; 0.0%hi,&nbsp; 0.0%si,&nbsp; 0.0%st<br /><br />This line contains the CPU load. The first two numbers are how busy the system is doing computation (&ldquo;us&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;user&rdquo;) and how busy the system is doing system-y things like accessing disks or network (&ldquo;sy&rdquo; stands for &ldquo;system&rdquo;). We&rsquo;ll talk more about this later.<br /><br />Mem:&nbsp;&nbsp; 49457320k total,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3492174k used,&nbsp; 14535596k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1435148k buffers<br /><br />This should be easy to understand &ndash; how much memory you&rsquo;re using! <br /><br />Swap:&nbsp;&nbsp; 539356k total,&nbsp;&nbsp; 28332k used,&nbsp;&nbsp; 836562k free,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29862014k cached<br /><br />Swap is just on-disk memory that can be used to &ldquo;swap&rdquo; out programs from main memory. Again, we&rsquo;ll talk about this later.:<br /><br />PID USER&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PR&nbsp; NI&nbsp; VIRT&nbsp; RES&nbsp; SHR S %CPU %MEM&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TIME+&nbsp; COMMAND<br />&nbsp; 1 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 39 &nbsp; 19&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 246:57.22 kipmi0<br />&nbsp; 2 root&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RT&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0 S&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp; 0.0&nbsp;&nbsp; 0:00.00 migration/0<br /><br />And... finally! What&rsquo;s actually running! The two most important numbers are the %CPU and %MEM towards the right, as well as the COMMAND. This tells you how compute- and memory-intensive your program is. Right now, nothing&rsquo;s running so the numbers aren&rsquo;t very interesting, but just wait until we run something...</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<iframe width="" height="" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/VAR-1vNc0TE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>http://bit.ly/e8QGzY Human genome mapping is now enabling a breakthrough in medical innovation -- personalized medicine. What does this mean for patients? We can now identify predispositions to disease, predict how we metabolize drugs, and figure out what kinds of treatments we may respond to, and even determine when a drug may give us an adverse reaction. All medical specialties benefit from human genome intelligence -- oncology saw the first impacts -- but advances are now being seen in cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatric diseases, gastroenterology, rheumatology, immunology and other areas. This video covers the areas that genetic medicine is impacting and where the future of genomic medicine is heading.]]></description>

<p>There are many tools to perform gap filling using Illumina short reads, for example "GapFiller: a de novo assembly approach to fill the gap within paired reads" or "Toward almost closed genomes with GapFiller". There are also some tools like GAPresolution that can help to perform local re-assemblies using 454 reads. We used GAPresolution but it is not a very good software, it is useful only in some specific situations.</p>

<p>Take a look at the PRICE software from the DeRisi lab. Its meant to do something very similar. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/index.php?page=software</p>

<p>You could also look at SSPACE (http://www.baseclear.com/landingpages/basetools-a-wide-range-of-bioinformatics-solutions/sspacev12/), ATLAS tools (http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/bcm-hgsc-software), and SCARPA (http://compbio.cs.toronto.edu/hapsembler/scarpa.html).</p>

<p>See the PAGIT protocol: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/pagit/ </p>

<p>In particular, take a look at the IMAGE tool: http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/4/R41 </p>

<p>Also SOAPdenovo has ha function for scaffolding. Not sure about ABYSS</p>

<p>Here there is a useful explanation of several tools.</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but the above answers to your hypothetical scenario appear to miss the point that you aren't interested in assembling the full genome, just the 100 kb part you're interested in. I suggest the following algorithm:</p>

<p>1. Start with the initial assembly C0 of the contigs you have identified as overlapping your region of interest, and the set S of reads those contigs contain. Let C = C0.</p>

<p>2. Repeat:<br />a. Identify paired-end reads (not in C) for which one or both ends align within, or extending, contigs in C.<br />b. Identify unpaired reads that align extending these new paired-end reads.<br />c. Construct a new assembly C' from C and the new reads identified in (a) and (b).<br />d. Trim C' so it does not extend more than 100 kb to either end of C0. Set C = C'.<br />e. Let S' denote the reads that contribute to C'. If S' does not contain any reads not present in S, stop. Otherwise, Set S = S'.</p>

<p>3. If you don't have a complete assembly of the region of interest, generate an STS for each end of each contig, probe a library for clones including these STSes, subclone these clones into a paired-end sequencing vector, and generate paired-end reads for this library; then try steps (1) and (2) again, adding these new sequencing reads to what you had before.</p>

<p>4. If your average sequencing depth for the region of interest exceeds 25 or so without filling all gaps, it is likely that the remaining gaps represent sequences that are not getting cloned in your sequencing vectors. Try different sequencing vectors.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Once you install XAMMP on linux, the most common problem you face is Apache failure. To fix the issues please use following command to first stop and then again start it.</p><p>sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop</p><p>sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop</p><p>sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop</p><p>sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>PhpMyAdmin &ldquo;Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!&rdquo;</strong></p><p>Once the Xammp is installed, it might be possible to set up the configuration file in writable mode. Try the following steps:</p><p>Just chmod 0755 the file</p><pre>sudo chmod 0755 config.inc.php</pre>]]></description>
