Comprehensive list of visualization tools for biological pathways

Neel — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 06:01:31 -0600

The study of biological pathways is a key to understand the different processes inside a cell: proteins exert their function not in isolation but in a tightly controlled network of interactions and reactions. Activation of a pathway typically leads to a change of state in the cell. Pathways come in different flavors, depending on their functions in the cell – the three main types are metabolic pathways, gene regulatory pathways, and signaling pathways. These biological pathways and networks are not only an appropriate approach to visualize molecular reactions. They have also become one leading method in -omics data analysis and visualization.

Bandage: interactive visualization of de novo genome assemblies

Shruti Paniwala — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 10:09:37 -0600

Bandage (a Bioinformatics Application for Navigating De novo Assembly Graphs Easily) is a tool for visualizing assembly graphs with connections. Users can zoom in to specific areas of the graph and interact with it by moving nodes, adding labels, changing colors and extracting sequences. BLAST searches can be performed within the Bandage graphical user interface and the hits are displayed as highlights in the graph. By displaying connections between contigs, Bandage presents new possibilities for analyzing de novo assemblies that are not possible through investigation of contigs alone.

Availability and implementation: Source code and binaries are freely available at https://github.com/rrwick/Bandage. Bandage is implemented in C++ and supported on Linux, OS X and Windows. A full feature list and screenshots are available at http://rrwick.github.io/Bandage.

xmatchview: smith-waterman alignment visualization

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:00:58 -0600

xmatchview and xmatchview-conifer are imaging tools for comparing the synteny between DNA sequences. It allows users to align 2 DNA sequences in fasta format using cross_match and displays the alignment in a variety of image formats. xmatchview and xmatchview-conifer are written in python and run on linux and windows. They serve as visual tools for analyzing cross_match alignments. Cross_match (Green, P. (1994) http://www.phrap.org) uses an implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm for comparing DNA sequences that is sensitive.

assemblytics: delta file to analyze alignments of an assembly to another assembly or a reference genome

Jit — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 07:31:00 -0500

Download and install MUMmer Align your assembly to a reference genome using nucmer (from MUMmer package) $ nucmer -maxmatch -l 100 -c 500 REFERENCE.fa ASSEMBLY.fa -prefix OUT Consult the MUMmer manual if you encounter problems Optional: Gzip the delta file to speed up upload (usually 2-4X faster) $ gzip OUT.delta Then use the OUT.delta.gz file for upload. Upload the .delta or delta.gz file (view example) to Assemblytics Important: Use only contigs rather than scaffolds from the assembly. This will prevent false positives when the number of Ns in the scaffolded sequence does not match perfectly to the distance in the reference. The unique sequence length required represents an anchor for determining if a sequence is unique enough to safely call variants from, which is an alternative to the mapping quality filter for read alignment. http://assemblytics.com/
