The next meeting of the Bioinformatics Users Group will be at noon, Wednesday, Feb. 22 in ALS 3006.
Introduction to BBTools
Wouldn't it be great if there was one robust, well-supported and free suite of programs for (almost) all of your next generation sequence needs?
Well there is! Aaron Liston will provide an overview of BBTools.
From the website:
BBTools is a suite of fast, multithreaded bioinformatics tools designed for analysis of DNA and RNA sequence data. BBTools can handle common sequencing file formats such as fastq, fasta, sam, scarf,
fasta+qual, compressed or raw, with autodetection of quality encoding and interleaving. It is written in Java and works on any platform supporting Java; there are no dependencies other than Java (version 7 or higher).
I hope to see you all there.

The Bioinformatics Users Group consists of scientists in the life sciences, computing, math, statistics, and other areas who meet to discuss topics related to those fields. Meetings are generally informal, consisting of discussions, interactive talks, or short workshops. No experience needed to participate. For topics suggestions or requests, contact kevin.weitemier@cgrb.oregonstate.edu.
