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.

Phrap is a program for assembling shotgun DNA sequence data.
Among other features, it allows use of the entire read and not just the
trimmed high quality part, it uses a combination of user-supplied and
internally computed data quality information to improve assembly accuracy
in the presence of repeats, it constructs the contig sequence as a mosaic
of the highest quality read segments rather than a consensus, it provides
extensive assembly information to assist in trouble-shooting assembly
problems, and it handles large datasets.
This package also contains Swat and Cross_match.
Swat is a program for searching one or more DNA or protein query sequences
against a sequence database, using (an efficient implementation of) the
Smith-Waterman-Gotoh algorithm.
Cross_Match is a general-purpose utility based on Swat for comparing any
two sets of DNA sequences, and it can be used to:
* produce vector-masked versions of a set of reads
* compare a set of cDNA sequences to a set of cosmids
* compare contigs found by two altanative assembly procedures to each other
* compare phrap contigs to the final edited cosmid sequence.
