New Software Release

New releases of SLiMSuite and SeqSuite are now available. Please note that RJESuite has now been discontinued - for simplicity, all of the extra gubbins is now part of the SeqSuite release. SLiMSuite still represents a cut-down version that focuses on Short Linear Motif analysis tools.

There have been a number of updates since the last release, which will be the focus of future posts. The biggest change since the last release is the implementation of BLAST+ as the default in place of BLAST for most tools. The old BLAST can still be invoked using the oldblast=T switch. In addition to blastpath=PATH, a new blast+path=PATH parameter will need to be set.

Apart from some file organisation tweaks, the other major change is that CompariMotif now has a memsaver=T mode, which will process very large motif lists much quicker and avoid memory issues. The XGMML output is not (yet) available in this mode. For multi-processor CPUs and large searchdb motif lists, CompariMotif now also supported forking (forks=X).

Documentation is in the process of having an overhaul and is still lagging behind as a result. Please ask if anything is unclear and that section of documentation will be prioritised.
