Software development
BioBricks aligner - aligns sequence reads (fragments) to Biobrick sequence
- Sim4 is a similarity-based tool for aligning an expressed DNA sequence (EST, cDNA, mRNA) with a genomic sequence for the gene
- A computer program for aligning a cDNA sequence with a genomic DNA sequence (backup link)
- Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Sim4 - wrapper for Sim4 program that allows for alignment of cdna to genomic sequences
- Bio::SearchIO::sim4 - parser for Sim4 alignments
- Bio::Tools::Sim4::Exon - a single exon determined by an alignment
- Bio::Tools::Sim4::Results - results of one Sim4 run
- Sim4.pm - CVS log (latest version)
Lab computing
Data storage
- Endy lab backup solutions page
- MIT TSM Backup Service
- TSM software (free to MIT community per site license)
- Monthly service charge: $7.50 per month per computer
- TSM software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux free from MIT
- Backups are stored on one of the four TSM backup servers in building W91
- Manual or Scheduled Backup
- Old versions of current files and deleted files are kept for 30 days
- Need a separate account for each computer to be backed up
- A Tale of Two Terabyte NAS Boxes
- Buffalo Technology
- Buffalo TeraStation Home
- Example disk configuration: 4 x 250GB IDE (750GB in RAID5)
- Protocols: FTP, SMB
- USB 2.0 port for external hard drive (backup or additional storage)
- Review by PC Magazine
- Bottom line: Flexible and reliable storage for everyone on your network. Print sharing is a plus, as is expandable USB disk storage.
- Pros: Offers RAID level data protection; easy-to-configure shared and private storage for all workgroup members; print sharing is a plus.
- Cons: Large footprint. No logging or reporting features.
