Preferred Tools and NextGenScripts

I added a new page titled Preferred Tools which is nothing more than a list of tasks and the tools I use to accomplish them. I hope it is useful to people out there. Secondly I started adding some code to my repositories. You can check out both pages by clicking links in the right hand menu.

Download Whole Genomes Quickly from NCBI

Here is a quick command line script that should work on any linux system with wget. This command will download chromosomes 1- 8 for the possum. You would need to modify the list of numbers to be “X Y M Un” to get the non-numeric chromosomes.


for i in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08; do wget "ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Monodelphis_domestica/CHR_${i}/mdm_ref_chr${i}.fa.gz"; done;

You can do this for any species or really any organized FTP site. Here is the link to the NCBI genome ftp site.

Welcome to my updated portfolio. Please stay tuned as I add information about my current work, publications and even some code.
