Some links to resources I created or use
- selectRowByCol A little script to do joins on columns of whitespace delimited text files.
- soop: script for picking overgo hypridization probes from blast/blastz alignments.
- ExactPlus:
web application and perl script to find short highly conserved regions from multiple sequence alignments.
- fixReadnamesInPosmap: convert internally generated UIDs to read names for Celera Assembler posmap files when assembly data was from FASTQ files.
- prune_newick: a little perl script using BioPerl to remove taxa from newick formatted trees.
- Nilex Morse Tutor: A morse code tutor.
- Useful links to other resources.
- Some recipes, by popular request.
