Software development


BGI’s computational biologists are responsible for software and pipeline development for all the programs in BGI-Shenzhen. Their mission is to provide varieties of bioinformatics tools that meet the needs for all kinds of biological analysis and interpretations of large-scale genome sequencing data.

 

SOAP


 

SOAP is a program for efficient gapped and ungapped alignment of short oligonucleotides onto reference sequences. The program is designed to handle the huge amounts of short reads generated by parallel sequencing using the new generation Illumina-Solexa sequencing technology.

CAT

 a new algorithm called CAT (for Cross-species Alignment Tool). It is designed to align mRNA sequences to mammalian-sized genomes.


 

ReAS

 ReAS aims to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun.


 

RePS


(repeat-masked Phrap with scaffolding), a WGS sequence assembler, that explicitly identifies exact kmer repeats from the shotgun data and removes them prior to the assembly. The established software Phrap is used to compute meaningful error probabilities for each base. Clone-end-pairing information is used to construct scaffolds that order and orient the contigs. The updated version of RePS incorporates some of the ideas introduced by Phusion on clustering.

Maq 


stands for Mapping and Assembly with Quality It builds assembly by mapping short reads to reference sequences. Maq is a project hosted by SourceForge.net. The project page is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/maq/. Maq is previously known as mapass2.
