jtools : more efficient presentation of regression analyses

Neel — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 23:10:49 -0600

This package consists of a series of functions created by the author (Jacob) to automate otherwise tedious research tasks. At this juncture, the unifying theme is the more efficient presentation of regression analyses. There are a number of functions for other programming and statistical purposes as well. Support for the survey package’s svyglm objects as well as weighted regressions is a common theme throughout.

Notice: As of jtools version 2.0.0, all functions dealing with interactions (e.g., interact_plot(), sim_slopes(), johnson_neyman()) have been moved to a new package, aptly named interactions.

Consed--A Finishing Package (BAM File Viewer, Assembly Editor, Autofinish, Autoreport, Autoedit, and Align Reads To Reference Sequence)

Neel — Fri, 07 Feb 2020 07:16:22 -0600

Supports Illumina, 454, other Next-Gen and Sanger Reads and allows mixtures of these read types
Consed includes BamScape which can view bam files with unlimited numbers of reads. BamScape can bring up consed to edit reads and the reference sequence in targeted regions.
Consed is compatible with Newbler, Cross_match, Phrap, MIRA, Velvet and PCAP output.
Quickly takes the user to each variant site for viewing (also available as an automated report)
Overview of assembly can help detect and fix misassemblies
Editing time reduced by the program's ability to pin-point problem areas
Editing is guided by error probabilities

ClinCNV: Detection of copy number changes in Germline/Trio/Somatic contexts in NGS data

Neel — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 23:16:02 -0600

ClinCNV detects CNVs in germline and somatic context in NGS data (targeted and whole-genome). We work in cohorts, so it makes sense to try ClinCNV if you have more than 10 samples (recommended amount - 40 since we estimate variances from the data). By "cohort" we mean samples sequenced with the same enrichment kit with approximately the same depth (ie 1x WGS and 30x WGS better be analysed in separate runs of ClinCNV). Of course it is better if your samples were sequenced within the same sequencing facility.

heatmaply: popular graphical method for visualizing high-dimensional data

Neel — Sat, 11 Jan 2020 07:34:14 -0600

This work is based on ggplot2 and plotly.js engine. It produces similar heatmaps as d3heatmap, with the advantage of speed (plotly.js is able to handle larger size matrix), and the ability to zoom from the dendrogram.

heatmaply also provides an interface based around the plotly R package. This interface can be used by choosing plot_method = "plotly" instead of the default plot_method = "ggplot". This interface can provide smaller objects and faster rendering to disk in many cases and provides otherwise almost identical features.

Documentation for this package is also available as a pkgdown site: http://talgalili.github.io/heatmaply/

WOS-C Women Scientist Scheme KIRAN-IPR

Neel — Fri, 27 Dec 2019 20:51:15 -0600

Women Scientist Scheme WOS-C is one among the most coveted programs that Women Scientists in India apply for. It is an initiative started by the Government of India, Department of Science & Technology (DST) to help women scientists in India to return to the field of mainstream science with a special focus on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

WOS-C Women Scientist Scheme aims to train women from a myriad of scientific backgrounds for a year, this, in turn, allows them to even work from home and maintain a good work and home life balance. This call opens once a year and is one of the most sought after schemes.

The selection process for the WOS-C Women Scientist Scheme is via an online examination and interview. Only shortlisted applicants will be called to appear for the online examination.

SViper: Swipe your Structural Variants called on long (ONT/PacBio) reads with short exact (Illumina) reads.

Neel — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 03:48:28 -0600

Call sviper

~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants

This will output a polished_variants.vcf file, that contains all the refined variants.

Sometimes it is helpful to look at the polished sequence, e.g. with the IGV browser. In that case you want SViper to output the polished and aligned sequences in a bam file via the option --output-polished-bam:

~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants --output-polished-bam
