Genome sequence-based (sub-)species delineation.

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 08:31:14 -0600

The GGDC web service reports digital DDH for a universal and accurate delineation of prokaryotic (sub-)species without inheriting the pitfalls of classic DDH, and also calculates differences in genomic G+C content.

Roary: the Pan Genome Pipeline

Jit — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 05:52:07 -0600

Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated assemblies in GFF3 format (produced by Prokka (Seemann, 2014)) and calculates the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with thousands of samples, something which is computationally infeasible with existing methods, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor. To perform this analysis using existing methods would take weeks and hundreds of GB of RAM. Roary is not intended for meta-genomics or for comparing extremely diverse sets of genomes.

RaGOO: Fast Reference-Guided Scaffolding of Genome Assembly Contigs

BioJoker — Wed, 17 Apr 2019 19:45:22 -0500

Alonge M, Soyk S, Ramakrishnan S, Wang X, Goodwin S, Sedlazeck FJ, Lippman ZB, Schatz MC: Fast and accurate reference-guided scaffolding of draft genomes. bioRxiv 2019.

RaGOO is a tool for coalescing genome assembly contigs into pseudochromosomes via minimap2 alignments to a closely related reference genome. The focus of this tool is on practicality and therefore has the following features:

Good performance. On a MacBook Pro using Arabidopsis data, pseudochromosome construction takes less than a minute and the whole pipeline with SV calling takes ~2 minutes.
Intact ordering and orienting of contigs.
Chimeric contig correction
GFF lift-over
Structural variant calling with and integrated version of Assemblytics
Confidence scores associated with the grouping, localization, and orientation for each contig.

MGSE: Mapping-based Genome Size Estimation

Shruti Paniwala — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 02:11:43 -0600

MGSE can harness the power of files generated in genome sequencing projects to predict the genome size. Required are the FASTA file containing a high continuity assembly and a BAM file with all available reads mapped to this assembly. The script construct_cov_file.py (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5360-z) allows the generation of a COV file based on the (sorted) BAM file (also possible via MGSE directly). Next, this COV file can be used by MGSE to calculate the coverage in provided reference regions and to calculate the total number of mapped bases. Both values are subjected to the genome size estimation. Providing accurate reference regions is crucial for this genome size estimation.
