<div class="para"><p>The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) is an exciting Roadmap initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of the project is to understand how the microbial communities inhabiting our bodies contribute to normal human health, development, and disease (<a href="http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/">http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp</a>).</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>The Broad Institute (<a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org">http://www.broadinstitute.org</a>) was launched in 2004 with the visionary philanthropic investment of Eli and Edythe Broad, who joined with leaders at Harvard and its affiliated hospitals, MIT, and the Whitehead Institute to pioneer a "new model” of collaborative science. The Broad Institute is organized as a transparent infrastructure that allows biology- and technology-focused scientists to work together to identify and overcome the most critical obstacles to realizing the full promise of genomic medicine.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>The Broad Institute aggressively advances sequence-based technologies and the bioinformatics necessary to characterize the vast complexity of the human microbiome. In keeping with our mission, we make the microbiome analysis utilities developed by the Broad Institute available to the community in order to promote further innovation and collaborative research efforts. We appreciate your feedback.</p></div>

<div class="para"><p>ChimeraSlayer <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=262346">(download)</a> is a chimeric sequence detection utility, compatible with near-full length Sanger sequences and shorter 454-FLX sequences (~500 bp).</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Chimera Slayer involves the following series of steps that operate to flag chimeric 16S rRNA sequences: (A) the ends of a query sequence are searched against an included database of reference chimera-free 16S sequences to identify potential parents of a chimera; (B) candidate parents of a chimera are selected as those that form a branched best scoring alignment to the NAST-formatted query sequence; © the NAST alignment of the query sequence is improved in a ‘chimera-aware’ profile-based NAST realignment to the selected reference parent sequences; and (D) an evolutionary framework is used to flag query sequences found to exhibit greater sequence homology to an in silico chimera formed between any two of the selected reference parent sequences.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>To run Chimera Slayer, you need NAST-formatted sequences generated by the included <a href="#A_NASTiEr">NAST-iEr</a> utility. Given NAST-formatted sequences, run ChimeraSlayer like so:</p></div>

Since chimeras can occur two ways: (left parent A & right parent B) or (left parent B & right parent A), a fork diagram is shown with the statistics for each potential chimera as it relates to the query sequence. The bootstrap (BS) values indicate the confidence level for the corresponding chimera type.

<div class="para"><p>AmosCmp16Spipeline <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=262346">(download)</a> uses the AMOScmp software to assemble multiple, potentially overlapping 16S rRNA sequencing reads based on read mappings to a reference 16S rRNA gene.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>Given the following inputs:
-fasta file containing sequencing reads
-file containing the corresponding qual values
-file enumerating the accessions corresponding to reads of the same clone individual assembly tasks
-a reference database of 16S rRNA sequences</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>The single reference sequence that best matches all the reads is chosen. Lucy is used to trim the sequence reads of low quality termini. An additional homology-trimming operation is performed to exclude regions of the sequence that lack homology to the reference. The resulting trimmed reads and quality values are used to generate a sequence assembly using the AMOScmp software. A scaffold sequence is generated, where Ns are used to fill in gaps according to estimated gap sizes based on reference sequence anchoring, and quality values are reported according to the scaffold sequence. A README file containing instructions and sample data are provided.</p></div>
<h3 id="A_TreeChopper">TreeChopper</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
<div class="para"><p>TreeChopper <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=262346">(download)</a> clusters tree leaf nodes according to phylogenetic distance.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>A graph is constructed from the tree like so: all leaves are visited, and from each leaf, all neighboring leaves within a specified distance threshold are added to a graph with an edge placed between them. After building this graph, each edge connecting pairs of nodes is examined and a Jaccard similarity coefficient is computed (see <a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/3/7">http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/3/7</a> for details). Those edges that loosely connect nodes as defined by this similarity coefficient are removed. The nodes connected by the remaining edges are clustered by transitive closure (single linkage clustering) and reported as OTUs.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>The minimum phylogenetic distance between clustered nodes, and the minimum similarity coefficient between nodes in the graph are tuneable parameters. A README file containing instructions and sample data are provided.</p></div>

<li>
<p>
The bacterial 16S rRNA is the primary target of the ChimeraSlayer, WigeoN, and NAST-iEr utilities. Ultimately, we'd like to have a version that operates on eukaryotic 18S sequences as well.
