Kraken's Curse (itch) Mac OS

Rpg maker unfortunately doesn't export to mac, and with the latest version requiring games to be notarized to be used (which would cost me like $100/year as far as I know?) it's just not feasible to pursue. BUT there's a program called wine you can use to play windows games on your mac. I hope that's good enough! Find games for macOS tagged Hack and Slash like Bright Lancer, Tallowmere 2: Curse of the Kittens, Ananias Roguelike, Lucah: Born of a Dream, They Bleed Pixels on itch.io, the indie game hosting marketplace.

About Kraken

Kraken is a system for assigning taxonomic labels to short DNA sequences,usually obtained through metagenomic studies. Previous attempts by otherbioinformatics software to accomplish this task have often used sequencealignment or machine learning techniques that were quite slow, leading tothe development of less sensitive but much faster abundance estimationprograms. Kraken aims to achieve high sensitivity and high speed byutilizing exact alignments of k-mers and a novel classification algorithm.

In its fastest mode of operation, for a simulated metagenome of 100 bpreads, Kraken processed over 4 million reads per minute on a singlecore, over 900 times faster than Megablast and over 11 times faster than theabundance estimation program MetaPhlAn. Kraken's accuracy is comparablewith Megablast, with slightly lower sensitivity and very high precision.

3 tigers slots. Kraken is written in C++ and Perl, and is designed for use with theLinux operating system. We have also successfully compiled and run it under the Mac OS.

NOTE: Kraken 2 is the newest version of Kraken (See Kraken 2's Webpage for details). Kraken 1 will continue to be available via the Kraken 1 Github page, but it is no longer being supported. Free app store ios.

Downloads and Documents

  • Kraken 2 source code release
    The current version of Kraken (v2) can be found in its GitHub repository.
  • The previous version of Kraken (v1) is still available in its own repository.
Note: the databases below were built for Kraken v1
  • MiniKraken DB_4GB (2.9 GB): A pre-built 4 GB database constructed from complete bacterial, archaeal, and viral genomes in RefSeq (as of Oct. 18, 2017). This can be used by users without the computational resources needed to build a Kraken database. However this contains only 2.7% of kmers from the original database.
    • DustMasked MiniKraken DB 4GB (2.9 GB): This 4GB database constructed from dustmasked bacterial, archaeal, and viral genomes in Refseq as of Oct. 18, 2017.
    • Bracken files for this database can be found at https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/bracken/
    • seqid2taxid.map (11 MB)
  • MiniKraken DB_8GB (6.0 GB): A pre-built 8 GB database constructed from complete bacterial, archaeal, and viral genomes in RefSeq (as of Oct. 18, 2017). This can be used by users without the computational resources needed to build a Kraken database. This contains around 5% of kmers from the original standard database.
    • DustMasked MiniKraken DB 8GB (6.0 GB): This 8GB database constructed from dustmasked bacterial, archaeal, and viral genomes in Refseq as of Oct. 18, 2017.

  • Kraken's operating manual (html). Please use this guidefor installing and running Kraken.
  • Accuracy data (1.8 MB): The data used to evaluate the accuracy of Kraken (and other classifiers); contains three FASTA files and instructions for obtaining the source taxonomic IDs for each sequence. These simulated metagenomic samples (each 10,000 reads) were also used to evaluate the speed of the non-Kraken classifiers.
  • Timing data (1.8 GB): The data used to evaluate the speed of Kraken (and MetaPhlAn); contains three FASTA files, each containing 10,000,000 reads.

Accuracy and speed

Although we tested Kraken on real sequence data from isolated genomes,the biggest challenge for an exact alignment approach is that ofmaintaining sensitivity in the face of high divergence from the training data(in this case, Kraken's genomic library). To address the concern ofKraken's sensitivity with such sequences, we created a simulated metagenomicdataset containing simulated 100 bp reads with high sequencing error(2.1% SNP rate, 1.1% indel rate).Below are the results of using various classifiers on this dataset, withaccuracy evaluated on a per-read basis (these results used January 2013data to build each classifier's reference library):

Removing low-complexity sequences

When analyzing a metagenomics sample using a large Kraken database -- including the standardDB described in the manual -- the primary source of false positive hits is low-complexity sequences in the genomes themselves; e.g., a string of 31 or more consecutive A's. Download via google drive. Thesecan largely be eliminated by first running the 'dust' program on all genomes and then building the database from these 'dusted' genomes. We strongly recommend running this program, which requires a custom database build, as described in the manual.DUST is included with the BLAST program from NCBI and is described inMorgulis et al. 2006 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16796549).

Kraken and other tools

Bracken allows users to perform abundance estimation with Kraken results. Bracken uses a bayesian formula toestimate species/genus-level abundance from Kraken classification results.

Pavianhas also been developed as a comprehensive visualization program that can compare Kraken classificationsacross multiple samples.

KrakenToolsis a suite of scripts designed to assist with downstream analysis ofKraken results. KrakenTools is an ongoing project led by Jennifer Lu

Kraken's Curse (itch) Mac Os Update


'One of my favorite things about this game is the way that both the graphics and music are used to really give the game that ancient Egyptian feel. It really does a good job of setting the scene and getting the player into the mindset of a tomb raiding adventurer. The full version of the game comes with 70 fairly large levels which should be enough to keep anyone busy for a good few weeks, and even then with the use of the built in level editor, you can continue your adventures by creating your own tombs to plunder! A very solid game that's definitely worth a look.'
