====== ACT ======

Artemis Comparison Tool (ACT) is a Java application for displaying pairwise comparisons between two or more DNA sequences.

===== Information =====

  * Version: 13.0.0
  * Added: April, 2016
  * Link: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/science/tools/artemis-comparison-tool-act

===== Usage =====

See which versions of act are available:
<code>$ module avail act</code>

Load easer
<code>$ module load act/13.0.0</code>

===== Installation ======

Notes from the sysadmin during installation:

<code>$ cd /tmp
$ wget ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/resources/software/act/act.jar
$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/act/13.0.0/
$ sudo cp act.jar /export/apps/act/13.0.0/
</code>

I created a simple wrapper shell script named ''act'' to run act.jar. Otherwise, a user would have to specify the full path to act.jar which can be complex & unfriendly. ''/export/apps/act/13.0.0/act''<code>
#!/bin/env bash

readonly PREFIX=$(dirname $0)
java -jar $PREFIX/act.jar $*
