Amber

Version: 7
Description: A program for molecular simulation using mechanical force fields that were developed for proteins and nucleic acids.
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/amber
Max CPUs per job: 16
Comments: Contact John.Obenauer@stjude.org for assistance with Amber.

ClustalW-mpi

Version: 0.13
Description: A general purpose multiple sequence alignment program for DNA or proteins. It produces biologically meaningful multiple sequence alignments of divergent sequences. It calculates the best match for the selected sequences, and lines them up so that the identities, similarities and differences can be seen.
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/clustalw
Max CPUs per job: To be determined
Comments: Contact Perdeep.Mehta@stjude.org for assistance with ClustalW

hmmer

Version: 2.3.1
Description: HMMER is a freely distributable implementation of profile HMM (hidden Markov models) software for protein sequence analysis. Profile HMMs can be used to do sensitive database searching using statistical descriptions of a sequence family's consensus.
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/hmmer
Max CPUs per job:

Comments: Contact John.Obenauer@stjude.org for assistance with HMMER.

MeMe

Version: 3.0.4
Description: A tool for discovering conserved motifs in a group of related DNA or protein sequences.
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/meme
Max CPUs per job: 24
Comments: Contact Suraj.Mukatira@stjude.org for assistance with MeMe.

mpiBLAST

Version: 1.1.1
Description: A freely available open source parallelization of NCBI BLAST. mpiBLAST segments the BLAST database and distributes it across cluster nodes, permitting BLAST queries to be processed on many nodes simultaneously
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/mpiBLAST
Max CPUs per job: 28
Comments: Contact Scott.Malone@stjude.org for assistance with mpiBlast.

R

Version: 1.7.1
Description: R is `GNU S' - A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques linear and nonlinear modeling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, and clustering.
Path: /nfs_exports/apps/gnu-apps/R
Max CPUs per job: 1
Comments: R is not a parallelized application, meaning one job submission can not use more than one processor. You can submit multiple, single cpu jobs to increase the throughput of R. Check out the Job Array Information from Platform Computing on how to make repetitive submissions.
