Executing Snakemake

Abhi — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 18:34:30 -0500

This part of the documentation describes the snakemake executable. Snakemake is primarily a command-line tool, so the snakemake executable is the primary way to execute, debug, and visualize workflows.

gfastats: The swiss army knife for genome assembly.

Abhi — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 06:03:05 -0500

gfastats is a single fast and exhaustive tool for summary statistics and simultaneous *fa* (fasta, fastq, gfa [.gz]) genome assembly file manipulation. gfastats also allows seamless fasta<>fastq<>gfa[.gz] conversion. It has been tested in genomes even >100Gbp.

Elastic BLAST !

Abhi — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 18:14:57 -0500

ElasticBLAST is a new way to BLAST large numbers of queries, faster and on the cloud. Here are the top three reasons you should use ElasticBLAST:

1. ElasticBLAST can handle much LARGER queries!

ElasticBLAST can search query sets that have hundreds to millions of sequences and against BLAST databases of all sizes.

2. ElasticBLAST is FASTER

ElasticBLAST distributes your searches across multiple cloud instances to process them simultaneously. The ability to scale resources in this way allows you to process large numbers of queries in a shorter time than you could with BLAST+.

3. ElasticBLAST is EASY to run on the cloud

ElasticBLAST is easy to set up using our step-by-step instructions (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP)) and allows you to leverage the power of the cloud. Once configured, it manages the software and database installation, handles partitioning of the BLAST workload among the various instances, and deallocates cloud resources when the searches are done.

ElasticBLAST also selects the instance (i.e., machine) type for you based on database size. Of course, you can also choose the instance type manually if you prefer.

auN: a new metric to measure assembly contiguity

Jit — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:18:47 -0500

Given a de novo assembly, we often measure the “average” contig length by N50. N50 is neither the real average nor median. It is the length of the contig such that this and longer contigs cover at least 50% of the assembly. A longer N50 indicates better contiguity. We can similarly define Nx such that contigs no shorter than Nx covers x% of the assembly. The Nx curve plots Nx as a function of x, where x is ranged from 0 to 100.
