Bareback 1.0 – Barcode Back-Processing for low complexity Illumina libraries

Bareback 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Bareback is a tool to shuffle Illumina image files with low complexity sequence at the start of all sequences to the end.Bareback-processing allows the user to ‘move’ the raw images acquired by the Illumina Genome Analyser IIx from initial cycles with a very biased sequence composition to the end of the run. For samples with very biased initial sequences (such as restriction enzyme sites) and/or very high cluster densities this procedure can allow to a dramatic increase in sequence yield. This approach also works very well for custom-made multiplexing applications.

pfilt 1.5 – Sequence Filtering for Low-complexity, Coiled-coil and Biased Amino Acid Regions

pfilt 1.5

:: DESCRIPTION

pfilt program is designed to mask out (i.e. replace amino acid characters with Xs) regions of low complexity, coiled-coil regions and regions with extremely biased amino acid compositions. For compositional biased regions,only the overrepresented amino acids are masked.
