SeqLab (Perl)

From CLAB

(( Disambiguation: See other uses of SeqLab. ))

SeqLab is the name of a ball of Perl written by Jay Hannah, mainly late in 2006. It makes heavy use of BioPerl, BLAST, and many CPAN packages. The project was hosted as seqlab.net for a couple of years.

Documentation

Apologies for the formatting. This all made sense when I had my own domain attached -- the HTML was actually rendered as HTML, etc. Now you're just seeing the raw code.  :) --Jhannah 11:54, 9 March 2008 (CDT)

• seqlab/tutorial.pod - A tutorial I barely started writing.
• htdocs/lib/install - An install document that works pretty well.

Highlights

• "reciprocal blast" functions (see cross_blast())
  • formatdb, etc., all automated. Sequences de-duping built in.
  • blasts an arbitrary number of sequences against each other and gathers stats across all results based on arbitrary hit "tiers." Tracks all relationships inside these different "tiers" of hits (Pools.pm).
  • creates Affymetrix microarray definition files from results.
• Logging via Log::Log4perl, test suite included (mediocre coverage?).

Status

I abandoned my maiden voyage into bioinformatics, called "SeqLab," as a stand-alone entity when the subsequent thousand tasks I worked turned out to be unrelated to all the software I had built so far. My naive grand unification vision for all of bioinformatics didn't quite work out as I had planned. -laugh- Nowadays I just cherry-pick solutions out of its guts on demand.  :)

I'm happy to field any questions you have about that code, if it helps you any.
