Edwin Groothuis 5081af2c64 New port: biology/consed viewing and editing workbench for sequence
assembly

	Consed is a tool for viewing, editing, and finishing sequence
	assemblies.

	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.

Phred reads DNA sequencer trace data, calls bases, assigns quality values
to the bases, and writes the base calls and quality values to output files.
Trace data is read from chromatogram files in the SCF, ABI, and EST formats,
even if they were compressed using gzip, bzip2, or UNIX compress.
Quality values are written to FASTA format files or PHD files, which can be
used by the Phrap sequence assembly program in order to increase the accuracy
of the assembled sequence.
Base calling and quality value accuracies tested for:
ABI models 373, 377, and 3700
Molecular Dynamics MegaBACE
LI-COR 4000
Base calling accuracies tested for:
ABI model 3100
Beckman CEQ
It contains also a data evaluation program called 'daev'.
See DAEV.DOC for more information.
You must obtain the tarball via e-mail to build. See the web site below.
