LotuS: an efficient and user-friendly OTU processing pipeline

BACKGROUND 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) amplicon sequencing is frequently used to analyse the structure of bacterial communities from oceans to the human microbiota. However, computational power is still a major bottleneck in the analysis of continuously enlarging metagenomic data sets. Analysis is further complicated by the technical complexity of current bioinformatics tools. RESULTS Here we pr...

STORMSeq: An Open-Source, User-Friendly Pipeline for Processing Personal Genomics Data in the Cloud

The increasing public availability of personal complete genome sequencing data has ushered in an era of democratized genomics. However, read mapping and variant calling software is constantly improving and individuals with personal genomic data may prefer to customize and update their variant calls. Here, we describe STORMSeq (Scalable Tools for Open-Source Read Mapping), a graphical interface ...

Efficient and User-Friendly Verification

ÐA compositional verification method from a high-level resource-management standpoint is presented for dense-time concurrent systems and implemented in the tool of SGM (State-Graph Manipulators) with graphical user interface. SGM packages sophisticated verification technology into state-graph manipulators and provides a user interface which views state-graphs as basic data-objects. Hence, users...
