have test suites; the exceptions include the modules involved in
export of MAGE-TAB documents, which are still a little experimental in
nature. The API is mostly finalised (and fully documented), but some
details may yet change where necessary to improve usability.

devising workflows; querying databases; conducting novel probabilistic
analyses of biological sequence evolution; and generating publication quality
graphics. It is distinguished by many unique built-in capabilities (such as
true codon alignment) and the frequent addition of entirely new methods for
the analysis of genomic data.

through its REST web service (http://www.g-language.org). This module
allows almost everything G-language GAE can do, without installing
all necessary tookits and modules.
Advantage of this module over the standard installation of
G-language GAE package is:
1. Easy installation from CPAN
2. Extremely light-weight (less than 1000 lines of code)
3. Does not require much CPU/RAM (all calculation is done on
the cloud)
Disadvantages includes:
1. Slower analysis speed
2. Internet connection is required
3. No other software interfaces such as the G-language Shell

The port is constituted of 4 parts:
biology/phred: base caller with quality evaluation
biology/phrap: sequence assembler for shotgun sequencing
biology/consed: workbench
biology/phd2fasta: small utility
All these can be used separately; however, most function
of consed depends on the others.
Although these programs are licensed freely for academic
and nonprofit purposes, users have to contact the authors
to get the softwares.
Phred (including phd2fasta) and phrap are emailed,
and consed can be downloaded to a restricted IP address.
For commercial users, the licensing fee is ca. $10,000 at
the time of writing.

in the Newick phylogenetic tree format (e.g., the format used by the PHYLIP
package). NJplot is especially convenient for rooting the unrooted trees
obtained from parsimony, distance or maximum likelihood tree-building methods.
The package contains the following programs:
njplot - draw phylogenetic trees and interactively modify them
newicktops - non-interactive version rendering into a PostScript file
newicktotxt - non-interactive version rendering into a text file
unrooted - draw unrooted circular trees
If you use NJplot in a published work, please cite the following reference:

The name stands for multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation.
A range of options is provided that give you the choice of optimizing
accuracy, speed, or some compromise between the two. Default parameters are
those that give the best average accuracy in the published tests. MUSCLE
can achieve both better average accuracy and better speed than CLUSTALW or
T-Coffee, depending on the chosen options.

linkage maps of markers segregating in experimental crosses. MAPMAKER/EXP
performs full multipoint linkage analysis (simultaneous estimation of all
recombination fractions from the primary data) for dominant, recessive, and co-
dominant (e.g. RFLP-like) markers. MAPMAKER/EXP is an experimental-cross-only
successor to the original MAPMAKER program.
MAPMAKER/QTL is a companion program to MAPMAKER/EXP which allows one to map
genes controlling polygenic quantitative traits in F2 intercrosses and BC1
backcrosses relative to a genetic linkage map. More information on MAPMAKER/QTL
can be found in the technical report (included with MAPMAKER/QTL).

Bayesian inference of phylogeny is based upon a quantity called the
posterior probability distribution of trees, which is the probability of a
tree conditioned on the observations. The conditioning is accomplished
using Bayes's theorem. The posterior probability distribution of trees is
impossible to calculate analytically; instead, MrBayes uses a simulation
technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC) to approximate the
posterior probabilities of trees.
