http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jianghui/seqmap/

A software tool for mapping large amount of oligonucleotide to the genome. It is designed for finding all the places in a genome where an oligonucleotide could potentially come from. SeqMap can efficiently map as many as dozens of millions of short sequences to a genome of several billions of nucleotides. While doing the mapping, several mutations as well as insertions / deletions of the nucleotide bases in the sequences can be tolerated and furthermore detected. Various input and output formats are supported, as well as many command line options for tuning almost every steps in the mapping process. A typical mapping can be done in a few hours on an ordinary PC.

http://www.genome.umd.edu/jellyfish.html

A software tool for fast, memory-efficient counting of k-mers in DNA. A k-mer is a substring of length k, and counting the occurrences of all such substrings is a central step in many analyses of DNA sequence. JELLYFISH can count k-mers quickly by using an efficient encoding of a hash table and by exploiting the compare-and-swap CPU instruction to increase parallelism. Jellyfish is a command-line program that reads FASTA and multi-FASTA files containing DNA sequences. It outputs its k-mer counts in an binary format, which can be translated into a human-readable text format using the jellyfish dump command., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. A software program designed to accurately map sequence data obtained from next-generation sequencing machines (specifically that of Solexa/Illumina) back to a genome of any size. By using the posterior probability of mapping a given read to a specific genomic loation, we are able to account for repetitive reads by distributing them across several regions in the genome. In addition, the output of the program is created in such a way that it can be easily viewed through other free and readily- available programs. Several benchmark data sets were created with spiked-in duplicate regions, and GNUMAP was able to more accurately account for these duplicate regions.

http://code.google.com/p/distmap/

A user-friendly software pipeline designed to map short reads in a MapReduce framework on a local Hadoop cluster. It is designed to be easily implemented by researchers who do not have expert knowledge of bioinformatics. As it does not have any dependencies, it provides full flexibility and control to the user. The user can use any version of a compatible mapper and any reference genome assembly. There is no need to maintain the mapper, reference or DistMap source code on each of the slaves (nodes) in the Hadoop cluster, making maintenance extremely easy.

http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/project-stampy

A software package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It''s recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of reads containing that contain sequence variation relative to the reference, in particular for those containing insertions or deletions. It can map reads from a highly divergent species to a reference genome for instance. Stampy achieves high sensitivity and speed by using a fast hashing algorithm and a detailed statistical model. Stampy has the following features: * Maps single, paired-end and mate pair Illumina reads to a reference genome * Fast: about 20 Gbase per hour in hybrid mode (using BWA) * Low memory footprint: 2.7 Gb shared memory for a 3Gbase genome * High sensitivity for indels and divergent reads, up to 10-15% * Low mapping bias for reads with SNPs * Well calibrated mapping quality scores * Input: Fastq and Fasta; gzipped or plain * Output: SAM, Maq''s map file * Optionally calculates per-base alignment posteriors * Optionally processes part of the input * Handles reads of up to 4500 bases

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/crux/

A software toolkit for tandem mass spectrometry analysis, with a focus on peptide identification. Crux analyzes shotgun proteomics tandem mass spectra, associating peptides with observed spectra. This software toolkit for tandem mass spectrometry analysis, with a focus on peptide identification is provided as a single executable. Crux is implemented in C and is distributed with source code freely to noncommercial users. Mass spectrometry, the core technology in the field of proteomics, promises to enable scientists to identify and quantify the entire complement of proteins in a complex biological sample. Currently, the primary bottleneck in this type of experiment is computational. Existing algorithms for interpreting mass spectra are slow and fail to identify a large proportion of the given spectra. We describe a database search program called Crux that reimplements and extends the widely used database search program Sequest. For speed, Crux uses a peptide indexing scheme to rapidly retrieve candidate peptides for a given spectrum. For each peptide in the target database, Crux generates shuffled decoy peptides on the fly, providing a good null model and, hence, accurate false discovery rate estimates. Crux also implements two recently described postprocessing methods: a p value calculation based upon fitting a Weibull distribution to the observed scores, and a semisupervised method that learns to discriminate between target and decoy matches. Both methods significantly improve the overall rate of peptide identification.
