Big genomic data on Google Cloud Platform

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:16:00 -0500

As the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped, the volume of data produced has risen into the petabytes. Google is working with the genomics community to define a standard API for working with big genomic data sets in the cloud. Building on Google Cloud Platform, we show how to store, process, explore and share genomic data using technologies like BigQuery, AppEngine MapReduce, R and more.

Flanker

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 22:04:53 -0600

Flanker, a Python package which performs alignment-free clustering of gene flanking sequences in a consistent format, allowing investigation of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) without prior knowledge of their structure. Flanker can be flexibly parameterised to finetune outputs by characterising upstream and downstream regions separately and investigating variable lengths of flanking sequence.

IVA: accurate de novo assembly of RNA virus genomes

Neel — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:51:59 -0500

IVA (Iterative Virus Assembler) designed specifically for read pairs sequenced at highly variable depth from RNA virus samples. We tested IVA on datasets from 140 sequenced samples from human immunodeficiency virus-1 or influenza-virus-infected people and demonstrated that IVA outperforms all other virus de novo assemblers.

Availability and implementation: The software runs under Linux, has the GPLv3 licence and is freely available from http://sanger-pathogens.github.io/iva
