Software

Software for basic next-gen sequencing operations.
Each of the commercial vendors has their own proprietary software, so we will emphasize the open source.

A great page about Next-Gen software on SeqAnswers

Image Processing


Basecalling

alternative base calling for 454 sequencer with improved quality scores. Developed by the Marth lab at Boston College

Open source primary data analysis for next-gen DNA sequencers


Alignment to a Reference Sequence

Maq   Mapping and Assembly with Quality

Gapped alignments to reference genome, another from the Marth lab at Boston College

Novoalign from Novocraft in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

SOAP  —  Short Oligonucleotide Alignment Program
GNU Public License
from the Bioinformatics Dept of the Beijing Genomics Institute

Maps sequence reads to genomic location, variable number of mismatches and overall quality cutoff score. By Andrew D. Smith and Zhenyu Xuan in the Zhang lab at Cold Spring Harbor.

ZOOM (Zillions Of Oligos Mapped)
Product of the Michael Zhang lab at Cold Spring Harbor
