	<description><![CDATA[<p><code>RAINBOWR</code>(Reliable Association INference By Optimizing Weights with R) is a package to perform several types of <code>GWAS</code> as follows.</p>
<ul>
<li>Single-SNP GWAS with <code>RGWAS.normal</code> function</li>
<li>SNP-set (or gene set) GWAS with <code>RGWAS.multisnp</code> function (which tests multiple SNPs at the same time)</li>
<li>Check epistatic (SNP-set x SNP-set interaction) effects with <code>RGWAS.epistasis</code> (very slow and less reliable)</li>

	<title><![CDATA[Quota synteny alignment]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Typically in comparative genomics, we can identify anchors, chain them into syntenic blocks and interpret these blocks as derived from a common descent. However, when comparing two genomes undergone ancient genome duplications (plant genomes in particular), we have large number of blocks that are not orthologous, but are paralogous. This has forced us sometimes to use&nbsp;</span><em>ad-hoc</em><span>&nbsp;rules to screen these blocks. So the question is:&nbsp;</span><span>given the expected depth (quota) along both x- and y-axis, select a subset of the anchors with maximized total score</span><span>.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/tanghaibao/quota-alignment" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tanghaibao/quota-alignment</a></p>]]></description>

To improve dotplot suitability for comparison of consensus and error-prone sequences, FlexiDot harbors routines for strict and relaxed handling of mismatches and ambiguous residues. The custom shading modules facilitate dotplot interpretation and motif identification by adding information on sequence annotations and sequence similarities to the images. Combined with collage-like outputs, FlexiDot supports simultaneous visual screening of a large sequence sets, allowing dotplot use for routine screening.</span></p>

</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>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>An efficient tool called Connecting Overlapped Pair-End (COPE) reads, to connect overlapping pair-end reads using k-mer frequencies. We evaluated our tool on 30&times; simulated pair-end reads from Arabidopsis thaliana with 1% base error. COPE connected over 99% of reads with 98.8% accuracy, which is, respectively, 10 and 2% higher than the recently published tool FLASH. When COPE is applied to real reads for genome assembly, the resulting contigs are found to have fewer errors and give a 14-fold improvement in the N50 measurement when compared with the contigs produced using unconnected reads.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope" rel="nofollow">ftp://ftp.genomics.org.cn/pub/cope</a></p>]]></description>
