MMseqs2: ultra fast and sensitive sequence search and clustering suite

Manisha Mishra — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 10:47:56 -0600

MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein and nucleotide 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.

ContigExtender: a new approach to improving de novo sequence assembly for viral metagenomics data

LEGE — Wed, 08 May 2024 07:32:45 -0500

ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate contigs. ContigExtender is effective for extending contigs significantly in in silico synthesized and real metagenomics datasets.

MetaPred2CS

Manisha Mishra — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 05:15:07 -0600

MetaPred2CS Web server is a meta-predictor based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) that combines 6 individual sequence based protein-protein interaction prediction methods to predict prokaryotic two-component system protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The methods implemented in MetaPred2CS are 2 co-evolutionary methods: in-silico two hybrid (i2h) and mirror tree (MT) methods and 4 genomics context based methods: phylogenetic profiling (PP), gene fusion (GF), gene neighbourhood (GN) and and gene operon methods (GO).

Seal: SEquence ALignment evaluation suite

Jit — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 05:05:46 -0600

Seal is a comprehensive sequencing simulation and alignment tool evaluation suite. This software (implemented in Java) provides several utilities that can be used to evaluate alignment algorithms, including:

Reading a pre-existing reference genome from one or more FASTA files.
Alternatively, generating an artificial reference genome based on input parameters (length, repeat count, repeat length, repeat variability rate).
Simulating reads from random locations in the genome based on input parameters of read length, coverage, sequencing error rate, and indel rate.
Applying alignment tools to the genome and the reads through a standardized interface.
Parsing the output of the alignment tool and calculating the number of reads that were correctly or incorrectly mapped.
Computing run times and measures of accuracy.

Seal has interfaces to evaluate the following software packages:

Bowtie
BWA
MAQ
mrFAST
mrsFAST
Novoalign
SHRiMP
