== 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 [mailto:support@vo.uabgrid.uab.edu 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.

|/share/apps/birdsuite/1.5.3
|The Birdsuite is a fully open-source set of tools to detect and report SNP genotypes, common Copy-Number Polymorphisms (CNPs), and novel, rare, or de novo CNVs in samples processed with the Affymetrix platform. While most of the components of the suite can be run individually (for instance, to only do SNP genotyping), the Birdsuite is especially intended for integrated analysis of SNPs and CNVs. Support for chips and platforms other than the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 is currently limited, but we are currently working on creating the supporting files for other common genotyping platforms.

"The EIGENSOFT package combines functionality from our population genetics methods ([http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020190 Patterson et al. 2006]) and our EIGENSTRAT stratification method ([http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v38/n8/abs/ng1847.html 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."

|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.
The following Modules files should be loaded for this package (for LAM, you must load this module in your profile script and your job script):

|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:

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.

Software (Link to home page) Version Software Installation-Directory Information
Amber 10 /opt/uabeng/amber10/intel "Amber" refers to two things: a set of molecular mechanical force fields for the simulation of biomolecules (which are in the public domain, and are used in a variety of simulation programs); and a package of molecular simulation programs which includes source code and demos.

Amber is compiled using Intel compilers and uses OpenMPI for the parallel binaries.

The following Modules files should be loaded for this package (the amber module will automatically load the openmpi module):

For Intel:

module load amber/amber-10-intel

Use the openmpi parallel environment in your job script (example for a 4 slot job)

#$ -pe openmpi 4
APBS 1.0.0 /share/apps/apbs/apbs-1.0.0-amd64 APBS - Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver APBS is a software package for the numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), one of the most popular continuum models for describing electrostatic interactions between molecular solutes in salty, aqueous media.

Submit APBS jobs via the Grid Engine and do not run them on the head node!

module load apbs/apbs-1.0 
Atlas 3.8.3 /usr/lib64/atlas The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an

ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide portable performance. At present, it provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.

module load atlas/atlas 
Biopython 1.51 Biopython is a set of freely available tools for biological computation written in Python by an international team of developers.

The Biopython packages along with its dependencies (Numpy, python-reportlab, Flex, etc...) are all installed in the default location for Python site-packages, so you should not need to modify any environment variables to use this package.

Birdsuite 1.5.3 /share/apps/birdsuite/1.5.3 The Birdsuite is a fully open-source set of tools to detect and report SNP genotypes, common Copy-Number Polymorphisms (CNPs), and novel, rare, or de novo CNVs in samples processed with the Affymetrix platform. While most of the components of the suite can be run individually (for instance, to only do SNP genotyping), the Birdsuite is especially intended for integrated analysis of SNPs and CNVs. Support for chips and platforms other than the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 is currently limited, but we are currently working on creating the supporting files for other common genotyping platforms.

An example job submission script can be found here (copy this to your job directory and make sure to edit the email address!)

boost 1.33.1 /usr/lib

/usr/lib64

Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.

The Boost team emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use.

Both 32bit and 64bit versions of Boost C++ libraries are provided under /usr/lib and /usr/lib64

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.


The following Modules files should be loaded for this package (for LAM, you must load this module in your profile script and your job script):

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
Maq 0.7.1 /share/apps/maq/0.7.1 Maq is a software that builds mapping assemblies from short reads generated by the next-generation sequencing machines. It is particularly designed for Illumina-Solexa 1G Genetic Analyzer, and has preliminary functions to handle ABI SOLiD data.
