Installed software
We try to install local software in /opt, /opt/uabeng and /share/apps. However, please do not depend on a particular piece of software being in a specific directory, as we may need to move things around at some point.
In most cases, the descriptions for each software package was copied from the authors web site and represents their own work.
If you don't find a particular package listed on this page, please send a request to cheaha support to request the software.
If a module file is available for the software, it is recommended to use the module file in your job script and/or shell profile.

| Bowtie | 0.10.1 | /share/apps/bowtie/bowtie-0.10.1 | Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner. It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end). It supports alignment policies equivalent to Maq and SOAP but is substantially faster.
A Bowtie tutorial is available here: http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/tutorial.shtml The following Modules files should be loaded for this package: module load bowtie/bowtie-0.10 |
| eigenstrat | 3.0 | /share/apps/eigenstrat | EIGENSTRAT also provides a decent FAQ on their website, click here.
"The EIGENSOFT package combines functionality from our population genetics methods (Patterson et al. 2006) and our EIGENSTRAT stratification method (Price et al. 2006). The EIGENSTRAT method uses principal components analysis to explicitly model ancestry differences between cases and controls along continuous axes of variation; the resulting correction is specific to a candidate marker's variation in frequency across ancestral populations, minimizing spurious associations while maximizing power to detect true associations. The EIGENSOFT package has a built-in plotting script and supports multiple file formats and quantitative phenotypes." The following Modules file should be loaded for this package: module load eigenstrat/eigenstrat |

| LAM-MPI | 7.1.4 | /opt/uabeng/lam/gnu
/opt/uabeng/lam/intel |
LAM/MPI is now in a maintenance mode. Bug fixes and critical patches are still being applied, but little real "new" work is happening in LAM/MPI. This is a direct result of the LAM/MPI Team spending the vast majority of their time working on our next-generation MPI implementation -- Open MPI.
Although LAM is not going to go away any time soon (we certainly would not abondon our user base!) -- the web pages, user lists, and all the other resources will continue to be available indefinitely -- we would encourage all users to try migrating to Open MPI. Since it's an MPI implementation, you should be able to simply recompile and re-link your applications to Open MPI -- they should "just work." Open MPI contains many features and performance enhancements that are not available in LAM/MPI.
For GNU: module load lammpi/lam-7.1-gnu For Intel: module load lammpi/lam-7.1-intel In order to use LAM-MPI you must load the module in your ~/.bashrc script along with your job submit script. Add the following to your ~/.bashrc (replace -intel with -gnu if using GNU): For Bash Users edit ~/.bashrc: module load lammpi/lam-7.1-intel For Csh Users edit ~/.cshrc: module load lammpi/lam-7.1-intel Use the lam_loose_rsh parallel environment in your job script (example for a 4 slot job) #$ -pe lam_loose_rsh 4 |
| MACS | 1.3.6 | /share/apps/macs/1.3.6 | Next generation parallel sequencing technologies made chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) a popular strategy to study genome-wide protein-DNA interactions, while creating challenges for analysis algorithms. We present Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS) on short reads sequencers such as Genome Analyzer (Illumina / Solexa). MACS empirically models the length of the sequenced ChIP fragments, which tends to be shorter than sonication or library construction size estimates, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome sequence, allowing for more sensitive and robust prediction. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, is publicly available open source, and can be used for ChIP-Seq with or without control samples.
To load MACS into your environment, use the following module command: module load macs/macs |
