QuasR: Quantification and annotation of short reads in R

Neel — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 07:44:05 -0500

The QuasR package (short for Quantify and annotate short reads in R) integrates the functionality of several R packages (such as IRanges (Lawrence et al. 2013) and Rsamtools) and external software (e.g. bowtie, through the Rbowtie package, and HISAT2, through the Rhisat2 package). The package aims to cover the whole analysis workflow of typical high throughput sequencing experiments, starting from the raw sequence reads, over pre-processing and alignment, up to quantification. A single R script can contain all steps of a complete analysis, making it simple to document, reproduce or share the workflow containing all relevant details.

SVbyEye: R Package to visualize alignments between two or multiple DNA sequences

LEGE — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 02:34:57 -0500

R Package to visualize alignments between two or multiple DNA sequences including
a number of functionalities to facilitate processing of alignments in PAF format.

SVbyEye, an open-source R package to visualize and annotate sequence-to-sequence alignments along with various functionalities to process alignments in PAF format. The tool facilitates the characterization of complex SVs in the context of sequence homology helping resolve the mechanisms underlying their formation. Availability and implementation SVbyEye is available at https://github.com/daewoooo/SVbyEye.

MMseqs2.0: ultra fast and sensitive protein search and clustering suite

Jit — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 10:40:51 -0500

MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein sequence sets. MMseqs2 is open source GPL-licensed software implemented in C++ for Linux, MacOS, and (as beta version, via cygwin) Windows. The software is designed to run on multiple cores and servers and exhibits very good scalability. MMseqs2 can run 10000 times faster than BLAST. At 100 times its speed it achieves almost the same sensitivity. It can perform profile searches with the same sensitivity as PSI-BLAST at over 400 times its speed.

The MMseqs2 user guide is available as Github Wiki or as PDF file (Thanks to pandoc!)

Tool: Gene Set Clustering based on Functional annotation (GeneSCF)

EagleEye — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:30:22 -0500

-----------

Gene Set Clustering based on Functional annotation

GeneSCF serves as command line tool for clustering the list of genes given by the users based on functional annotation (Gene Ontology, KEGG, REACTOME and NCG 4.0). It requires gene list in the form of Entrez Gene ID (UIDs) or Official gene symbols as a input. GeneSCF supports more organisms from V1.1. Examples to download database as simple text file using GeneSCF "prepare_database" module, 1) https://www.biostars.org/p/197414/#197416 , 2) https://www.biostars.org/p/191532/#191540

The advantage of using GeneSCF over other enrichment tools is that, it performs enrichment analysis in real-time (v1.1 and above) by accessing source databases. With command-line versions of tools, as you know you can run multiple gene list simultaneously.

Requirement:

GeneSCF only works on Linux system, it has been successfully tested on Ubuntu, Mint and Cent OS. Other distributions of Linux might work as well.

Predict Gene Ontology with sequences !

LEGE — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 04:59:28 -0500

PANNZER (Protein ANNotation with Z-scoRE) is a fully automated service for functional annotation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins of unknown function. The tool is designed to predict the functional description (DE) and GO classes.

PANNZER2 processes bacterial proteomes in minutes and eukaryotic proteomes in an hour. You can use AAI-profiler to summarize a proteome's species neighbors and reveal taxonomic identity or contamination.

Which are the best statistical programming languages to study for a bioinformatician?

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:35:34 -0500

In Bio-informatics based genome sequencing and predicting metabolic pathways research jobs I used Matlab, SAS, SPSS, R and several Bioconductor packages. Matlab had a lot of powerful tools and was easy to use, whereas SPSS is for non-programmers and R need programming skills. I am wondering what other people think is best? or there might not be one specific language but a few that lend themselves best to Bio-informatics work that is math heavy and deals with a large amount of data.
