====== BRIG ======
BLAST Ring Image Generator(BRIG) displays circular comparisons between a large number of genomes, with a focus on handling genome assembly data.

===== Information =====

  * Version: 0.95
  * Added: September, 2015
  * Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/brig/

===== Usage =====

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

Load and run BRIG:
<code>$ module load brig/0.95
$ brig</code>

===== Installation ======
Notes from the sysadmin during installation:

<code>$ cd /tmp
$ scl enable devtoolset-2 bash
$ wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/brig/BRIG-0.95-dist.zip?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fbrig%2F&ts=1442392406&use_mirror=liquidtelecom" -O BRIG-0.95-dist.zip
$ unzip BRIG-0.95-dist.zip
$ cd BRIG-0.95-dist
$ sudo mkdir -p /export/apps/brig/0.95/
$ sudo cp -rv . /export/apps/brig/0.95/
</code>

I created a wrapper shell script named ''brig'' to run BRIG instead of running ''java -jar BRIG.jar'' command which is a bit unfriendly.
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env bash

readonly PREFIX=$(dirname $0)

java -jar $PREFIX/BRIG.jar $*
</code>
