Bowtie2

Bowtie2 is an ultrafast and memory-efficient tool for aligning sequencing reads to long reference sequences. It is particularly good at aligning reads of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and particularly good at aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian) genomes. Bowtie 2 indexes the genome with an FM Index to keep its memory footprint small: for the human genome, its memory footprint is typically around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports gapped, local, and paired-end alignment modes.

HOWTO: Install Python packages from source

HOWTO: Locally Installing Software

Sometimes the best way to get access to a piece of software on the HPC systems is to install it yourself as a "local install". This document will walk you through the OSC-recommended procedure for maintaining local installs in your home directory or project space. The OSC provides a template Install Script to automate building and installing your software. There is also a description here of how to "manually" build and install your software.

STAR

STAR: Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference.

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

The following versions of STAR are available on OSC clusters:

SRA Toolkit

The Sequence Read Archive (SRA Toolkit) stores raw sequence data from "next-generation" sequencing technologies including 454, IonTorrent, Illumina, SOLiD, Helicos and Complete Genomics. In addition to raw sequence data, SRA now stores alignment information in the form of read placements on a reference sequence. Use SRA Toolkit tools to directly operate on SRA runs.

Availability and Restrictions

The following versions of SRA Toolkit are available on OSC clusters:

Ncview

Ncview is a visual browser for netCDF format files. Typically you would use ncview to get a quick and easy, push-button look at your netCDF files. You can view simple movies of the data, view along various dimensions, take a look at the actual data values, change color maps, invert the data, etc.

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

The following versions of Ncview are available on OSC clusters:

VCFtools

VCFtools is a program package designed for working with VCF files, such as those generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. The aim of VCFtools is to provide easily accessible methods for working with complex genetic variation data in the form of VCF files.

Availability and Restrictions

The following versions of VCFtools are available on OSC clusters:

Picard

Picard is a set of command line tools for manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats such as SAM/BAM/CRAM and VCF.

Availability and Restrictions

Versions

The following versions of Picard are available on OSC clusters:

SAMtools

SAM format is a generic format for storing large nucleotide sequence alignments. SAMtools provide various utilities for manipulating alignments in the SAM format, including sorting, merging, indexing and generating alignments in a per-position format.

Availability and Restrictions

The following versions of SAMtools are available on OSC clusters:
