Description

twinscan website  

Twinscan/N-SCAN is our lab's suite of software for gene-structure prediction. We recommend running N-SCAN on our web server (http://mblab.wustl.edu/nscan). Twinscan is currently available for Mammals, Caenorhabditis (worm), Dicot plants, and Cryptococci. N-SCAN is available for human and Drosophila (fruitfly)

Environment Modules

Run module spider twinscan to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_TWINSCAN_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_TWINSCAN_BIN - executable directory
  • TWINSCAN - twinscan variable for base directory


Additional Information

From TWINSCAN documentation:

In practice, Twinscan's memory requirements are approximately linear with the length of the target sequence. A rough guideline is 1 GB of memory for 1 Mb of input sequence.

See the sample nscandriver.config at /apps/twinscan/4.1.2/conf/nscandriver.config for details on how to set up a Nscan_driver.pl run.
