Edwin Groothuis c65af41a3b 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 and consed write sequence and quality value information in
'phd' output files. A phd file contains information in a header,
the called bases, the base quality values, and the base call trace
locations. Phd2fasta reads phd files and writes sequence and quality
value FASTA files, which phrap and cross_match need as input.
(Consed needs phd files in order to obtain the base call locations.)
