Ten recommendations for creating usable bioinformatics command line software
Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool. Unfortunately, this is often also the last time a tool will be used. Here I present ten recommendations for command line software author’s...Tags: Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Rules, Server, Software, Tips, Suggestions

VariantBam: Filtering and profiling of next-generational sequencing data using region-specific rules
VariantBam is a tool to extract/count specific sets of sequencing reads from next-generational sequencing files. To save money, disk space and I/O, one may not want to store an entire BAM on disk. In many cases, it would be more efficient to store only those read-pairs or reads who intersect some...Tags: VariantBam, Filtering, profiling, ngs, next-generational, sequencing, data, region-specific, rules
