About

SAMtools is a popular open-source tool used in next-generation sequence analysis. This primer provides an introduction to SAMtools, and is geared towards those new to next-generation sequence analysis. The primer is also designed to be self-contained and hands-on, meaning that you only need to install SAMtools, and no other tools, and sample data sets are provided. Terms in bold are also explained in the glossary at the end of the document.

Genome assembly tutorial "Genome Assembly for short and long reads"

Jit — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 17:29:53 -0600

In this lab we will perform de novo genome assembly of a bacterial genome. You will be guided through the genome assembly starting with data quality control, through to building contigs and analysis of the results. At the end of the lab you will know:

How to perform basic quality checks on the input data
How to run a short read assembler on Illumina data
How to run a long read assembler on Pacific Biosciences or Oxford Nanopore data
How to improve the accuracy of a long read assembly using short reads
How to assess the quality of an assembly

Calling variants in non-diploid systems

Neel — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:37:49 -0500

The main challenge associated with non-diploid variant calling is the difficulty in distinguishing between the sequencing noise (abundant in all NGS platforms) and true low frequency variants. Some of the early attempts to do this well have been accomplished on human mitochondrial DNA although the same approaches will work equally good on viral and bacterial genomes (Rebolledo-Jaramillo et al. 2014, Li et al. 2015).

BBTools User Guide

Neel — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 06:37:48 -0600

The guides describe the function, syntax, and typical use-cases of the tools; for a complete list of parameters, run the tool’s shellscript or open it with a text editor. Most tools do not currently have a guide, but each has shellscripts with basic usage information. The “General Usage Guide” gives shared background information covering usage of all tools.

A guide to machine learning for biologists

LEGE — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 13:21:08 -0500

We aim to provide readers with a gentle introduction to a few key machine learning techniques, including the most recently developed and widely used techniques involving deep neural networks. We describe how different techniques may be suited to specific types of biological data, and also discuss some best practices and points to consider when one is embarking on experiments involving machine learning. Some emerging directions in machine learning methodology are also discussed.
