FACS 2.1 – Align Sequences to a Reference Sequence

FACS 2.1

:: DESCRIPTION

A novel algorithm, FACS (Fast and Accurate Classification of Sequences), is introduced that can accurately and rapidly align sequences to a reference sequence. FACS was first optimized and validated using a synthetic metagenome dataset. An experimental metagenome dataset was then used to show that FACS is at least three times faster and more accurate than BLAT and SSAHA2 in classifying sequences when using references larger than 50Mbp.

RefSeq 207 – NCBI Reference Sequence Database

RefSeq 207

:: DESCRIPTION

RefSeq (the Reference Sequence) collection aims to provide a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant, well-annotated set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcripts, and proteins. RefSeq is a foundation for medical, functional, and diversity studies; they provide a stable reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis (especially RefSeqGene records), expression studies, and comparative analyses.

Scaffold_builder v2.2 – Order Contigs generated by draft sequencing along a Reference Sequence

Scaffold_builder v2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Scaffold_builder is software to order contigs generated by draft sequencing along a reference sequence. Gaps are filled with N’s and small overlaps are aligned with Muscle and the consensus created with IUPAC codes. Scaffold_builder can help in the assembly and annotation of genomes by revealing what is missing and allowing targeted sequencing to close those gaps.

Refcomp 4.x – Compare Reference Sequence with Consensus Sequence

Refcomp 4.x

:: DESCRIPTION

Refcomp was designed to analyze sequencing traces which contains data from strictly homozygous samples (eg. cloned DNA, mitochondrial DNA, etc.).  This data represents a special case which can be analyzed for mismatches with a known reference sequence.  Refcomp will determine the high quality positions within an assembled DNA contig and produce a report listing sites which differ from a defined reference sequence.

Refcomp is designed as a member of an integrated suite of sequence analysis applications which includes Phred,Phrap and Consed, and is not a stand alone program.
