Many of the Perl scripts require that the VCF files are compressed by bgzip and indexed by tabix (both tools are part of the tabix package, available for download here). The VCF files can be compressed and indexed using the following commands

bgzip my_file.vcf
tabix -p vcf my_file.vcf.gz

Python Data Science Handbook
You’ll learn how to use the core libraries essential for working with data in Python: particularly IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and related packages. This resource is perfect for tackling day-to-day issues such as cleaning, manipulating, and transforming data — or building machine learning models.

Approaching (Almost) Any Machine Learning Problem
This book is for people who have some theoretical knowledge of machine learning and deep learning and want to dive into applied machine learning. The book is more oriented towards how and what should you use to solve machine learning and deep learning problems. The book is for you if you are looking for guidance on approaching machine learning problems.

In comparative genome analysis work, we usually compare more than two genomes and looks for syntenic regions amongst them. In my research I used Evolution Highway (RH) http://eh-demo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/, which is a collaborative project designed to provide a visual means for simultaneously comparing genomes of multiple amniote species. The tool removes the burden of manually aligning these maps and allows cognitive skills to be used toward something more valuable than preparation and transformation of data. In addition to EH, attractive Circos (http://circos.ca/) is also very popular for this kind of analysis.

The EH is available online, and can be easily access and use, whereas Circos installation is not entirely straightforward. One of the most difficult parts of the installation involves installing the GD library. Since there weren't good instructions for installing this library on the internet I decided to post instructions here in case they are useful to anyone else.

Following are the steps to install GD modules in Mac OS

1. Setup

Create a folder for the files:

$ mkdir -p /SourceCache
$ cd /SourceCache

Get and unpack the required Jpeg-6b and GD libraries:
Download Jpeg-6b (http://code.google.com/p/google-desktop-for-linux-mirror/downloads/detail?name=jpeg-6b.tar.gz&can=2&q)
Download GD (http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD-2.46/)

Place the "tar.gz" files in "/SourceCache" and double click to unpack.

2. Install libjpeg

Copy the "config.sub" and "config.guess" files to "/SourceCache". Note that your "config.sub" and ""config.guess" files may be in a slightly different location. The commands below show where they were on my machine:

$ cd /SourceCache/jpeg-6b/src
$ cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub .
$ cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess .

Configure libjpeg as follows. Note that this was installed on a 64 bit machine. However, this method may configure it in a 32 bit format. This may not be the best way to configure the installation but it works.

$ .configure --enable-shared
$ make

Check to see if the following directories exist on your machine. Create the missing directories in the following manner:

$ mkdir -p /usr/local/include
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man1

Finish making and installing libjpeg:

$ make install

3. Install GD

$ cd /SourceCache/GD-2.46/GD/
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test (optional)
$ make html (optional)
$ make install

Other way for Mac OS
The easiest way to get a lot of these is with a program called Fink, which is similar in nature to the CPAN installer, but installs common GNU utilities. Fink is available from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/>.

Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's installed, you'll want to run the following as root: fink install gd

It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and hit enter to install all of the dependencies. Then watch it work.

To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple installs by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at /sw where it installs most of the software that it installs. This means your libraries and headers for libgd will be at /sw/lib and /sw/include instead of /usr/lib and /usr/local/include. Because of these changed locations for the libraries, the Perl GD module will not install directly via CPAN, because it looks for the specific paths instead of getting them from your environment. But there's a way around that :-)

Instead of typing "install GD" at the cpan> prompt, type look GD. This should go through the motions of downloading the latest version of the GD module, then it will open a shell and drop you into the build directory. Apply below patch to the Makefile.PL file (save the patch into a file and use the command patch < patchfile.)

Then, run these commands to finish the installation of the GD module:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
And don't forget to run exit to get back to CPAN.

Install the Perl GD Module on Linux

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

Since it was the first time I had run this command on this particular machine I had to answer a lot of questions but simply selected the defaults for everything as this usually works for me. Once in the CPAN shell I entered

$ install Bundle::CPAN

and selected all of the defaults again. Once the CPAN bundle had finished installing I tried to install GD::Graph by typing

$ install GD::Graph

but it failed with hundreds of errors – the first of which was

GD.xs:7:16: error: gd.h: No such file or directory

This was fixed with the following apt-get command (in the bash shell)

$ sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev

back in the CPAN shell I still couldn’t get GD::Graph to build and I guessed this was because of some left over files from the failed build. I don’t know the command to clean things up inside the CPAN shell and am too lazy to read the docs so I simply went into the .cpan/build directory in my home directory and deleted anything that started with GD – eg

$ rm -rf GD-2.35-HC_vkB

$ rm -rf GDGraph-1.44-Evfibe

and so on. Those strings at the end (VkB and so on) look random so they might be different on your machine. Then I went back into the CPAN shell and ran

$ install GD::Graph

There were a few dependencies which the script fetched and installed for me but everything worked smoothly.
