<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''SEALS''' (A '''S'''ystem for '''E'''asy '''A'''nalysis of '''L'''ots of '''S'''equences) is a software package expressly designed for large-scale research projects in [[:Category:Bioinformatics|bioinformatics]]. Using a friendly, scalable [[:Category:Linux Command Line Tools|command-line user interface]], SEALS provides dozens of commands to help the user quickly implement standard sequence analysis protocols, design new investigations, and generally Get Things Done with dispatch.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> I applaud the efforts of Roland Walker ''et al.'' for releasing the SEALS package to the general scientific community, free of charge. I am especially pleased that they placed an emphasis on the CLI and I/O streams.<br /> <br /> My two criticisms would be<br /> #The installation process is far more complicated than it needs to be (e.g., it thinks [[Perl]] version 5.8.8 is older than version 5.004_04, error messages are either non-existant or cryptic, etc.); and<br /> #I am strongly opposed to CLI scripts dictating which shell to use (i.e., you ''must'' use tcsh instead of [[bash]])<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/CBBresearch/Walker/SEALS/index.html SEALS website]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bioinformatics]]</div>
