Python Mini Projects !

BioStar — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 02:14:03 -0600

There is a directory for each chapter of the book. Each directory contains a test.py program you can use with pytest to check that you have written the program correctly. I have included a short README to describe each exercise. If you have problems writing code (or if you would like to support this project!), the book contains details about the skills you need.

HairSplitter: assembling long reads in an unknown number of haplotypes

BioStar — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 00:13:40 -0600

Pros and cons of HairSplitter Limitations of HairSplitter:

Not very fast: it re-polishes the whole assembly

Limited in the number of haplotypes

Strengths of HairSplitter:

Very modular, can be used with any assembler

Naive: makes no assumption on ploidy, parameter-free

Safe: won’t artificially duplicate contigs

HairSplitter splits collapsed assemblies from “draft” assemblies obtained by any means

HairSplitter can recover haplotypes and distinguish repeated elements

Only needs sequencing reads, potentially error-prone

RNA-Seq differential expression work flow using DESeq2

BioStar — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 10:57:14 -0500

One of the aim of RNAseq data analysis is the detection of differentially expressed genes. The package DESeq2 provides methods to test for differential expression analysis.

Understanding kmer !

BioStar — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 04:27:51 -0500

What is a k-mer anyway? A k-mer is just a sequence of k characters in a string (or nucleotides in a DNA sequence). Now, it is important to remember that to get all k-mers from a sequence you need to get the first k characters, then move just a single character for the start of the next k-mer and so on. Effectively, this will create sequences that overlap in k-1 positions.

Kmer: a suite of tools for DNA sequence analysis

BioStar — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 00:02:54 -0500

More at https://help.rc.ufl.edu/doc/Kmer

This also includes:

A2Amapper: ATAC, Assembly to Assembly Comparision tool:
- Comparative mapping between two genome assemblies (same species), or between two different genomes (cross species).

Sim4db:
- Spliced alignment of cDNA and genomic sequences, from the same (sim4) or related (sim4cc) species. Optimized for high-throughput batched alignment.

LEAFF:
- LEAFF (ahem, Let's Extract Anything From Fasta) is a utility program for working with multi-fasta files. In addition to providing random access to the base level, it includes several analysis functions.

Meryl:
- An out-of-core k-mer counter. The amount of sequence that can be processed for any size k depends only on the amount of free disk space.

JumboDB: tool for de Bruijn graph construction

BioStar — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 13:33:46 -0500

jumboDB tool for fast de Bruijn graph construction from long sequences (reads or genomes) with very low error rate. JumboDB is not a genome assembler by itself but rather a subroutine that translates a set of reads into compressed de Bruijn graph.
