Oases is a de novo transcriptome assembler designed to produce transcripts from short read sequencing technologies, such as Illumina, SOLiD, or 454 in the absence of any genomic

assembly. It is similar to Velvet, but optimised for transcriptome assembly. * Perl modules for BioPerl?? - These are useful if you write your own perl scripts. * Python modules for BioPython? - The Python ditto to BioPerl??. * [Tablet] - Tablet is a lightweight, high-performance graphical viewer for next generation sequence assemblies and alignments. You can - search and locate reads by name or subsequence across entire data sets, do entire-contig overviews, showing data layout or coverage information and display of reads in both packed and stacked formats. - users can install and run this in their local folders.
