• It can find just the start and/or end locations of alignment path - can be useful when speed is more important than having exact alignment path.
• Supports multiple alignment methods: global(NW), prefix(SHW) and infix(HW), each of them useful for different scenarios.
• You can extend character equality definition, enabling you to e.g. have wildcard characters, to have case insensitive alignment or to work with degenerate nucleotides.
• It can easily handle small or very large sequences, even when finding alignment path, while consuming very little memory.
• Super fast thanks to Myers's bit-vector algorithm.

Much of the data submitted these days, for example in BAM, Illumina export.txt, and Complete Genomics formats, contain alignment information. With aligned data, NCBI uses Compression by Reference, which only stores the differences in base pairs between sequence data and the segment it aligns to. The process to restore original data, for example as FastQ, requires fast access to the reference sequences that the original data was aligned to. NCBI recommends that SRA users dedicate local disk space to store references downloaded from the NCBI SRA site. As of Fall 2014, the complete collection of these reference sequences is 66 GB. While it isn't usually necessary to download the entirety of the reference sequences, this should give you an idea of the scale of the storage requirement. By default, the Toolkit will download missing reference sequences on demand and cache them in the user's home directory. The location of this cache is configurable, as is whether the download is automatic or manual.

This is the development package.

This package supplies development versions of NCBI's non-graphical C libraries, along with the corresponding header files.

This library was developed by the Rost Lab. The lab's research is driven by a conviction that protein and DNA sequences encode a significant core of information about the ultimate structure and function of genetic material and its gene products.

The library provides the following facilities:

• current working directory resource
• exception with stack backtrace
• file lock resource
• passwd and group structures for C++
• effective uid and gid resource
• rostlab::bio::seq class with stream input operator for FASTA format
• umask resource

This package contains files necessary for developing applications with librostlab.

LibSBML is a library designed to help you read, write, manipulate, translate, and validate SBML files and data streams. It is not an application itself (though it does come with many example programs), but rather a library you can embed in your own applications.

This package contains files necessary for development with libsbml.

C++ API and command line tool that provides a rapid and user-friendly interface to BAM/SAM/CRAM files, global sequence alignment operations and sequence assembly. Four C libraries perform core operations in SeqLib: HTSlib for BAM access, BWA-MEM and BLAT for sequence alignment and Fermi for error correction and sequence assembly. Benchmarking indicates that SeqLib has lower CPU and memory requirements than leading C++ sequence analysis APIs. Minimal SeqLib code can extract, error-correct and assemble reads from a CRAM file and then align with BWA-MEM. SeqLib also provides additional capabilities, including chromosome-aware interval queries and read plotting. Command line tools are available for performing integrated error correction, micro-assemblies and alignment.

This package contains the header files and static library.

The Smith–Waterman algorithm performs local sequence alignment; that is, for determining similar regions between two strings or nucleotide or protein sequences. Instead of looking at the total sequence, the Smith–Waterman algorithm compares segments of all possible lengths and optimizes the similarity measure.

This is the development package containing the statically linked library and the header files.

Snp-sites finds single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites from multi-fasta alignment input files (which might be compressed). Its output can be in various widely used formats (Multi Fasta Alignment, Vcf, phylip).

The software has been developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

This package contains the development files to include snp-sites into your own code. The library enables Python developers to make snp-sites function calls (Python bindings) through the Boost Python Library.

The functions available from this module select the top n elements from a list using several common orderings and custom key extraction procedures.

They are all variations around 'keytopsort { CALC_KEY($_) } $n => @data;'.

In array context, this function calculates the ordering key for every element in @data using the expression inside the block. Then it selects and orders the $n elements with the lower keys when compared lexicographically.

In scalar context, the value returned by the functions on this module is the cutoff value allowing to select nth element from the array.

Spoa (SIMD POA) is a c++ implementation of the partial order alignment (POA) algorithm (as described in 10.1093/bioinformatics/18.3.452) which is used to generate consensus sequences (as described in 10.1093/bioinformatics/btg109). It supports three alignment modes: local (Smith-Waterman), global (Needleman-Wunsch) and semi-global alignment (overlap).

This package contains the static library and the header files.
