FUMA GWAS: Functional Mapping and Annotation of Genome-Wide Association Studies

Jit — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 03:11:16 -0500

FUMA is a platform that can be used to annotate, prioritize, visualize and interpret GWAS results.
The SNP2GENE function takes GWAS summary statistics as an input, and provides extensive functional annotation for all SNPs in genomic areas identified by lead SNPs.
The GENE2FUNC function takes a list of gene IDs (as identified by SNP2GENE or as provided manually) and annotates genes in biological context

GrAnnoT

LEGE — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 06:21:50 -0500

GrAnnoT is an annotation transfer tool for pangenome graphs. It can transfer linear genome annotations to a pangenome graph containing the genome, and also transfer the pangenome graph's annotations on the genomes it contains. It also outputs complementary information such as the alignments of the transfered genes, or a presence-absence matrix.

MashMap: a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s)

Jit — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 17:23:31 -0600

MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a k-mer based Jaccard similarity using a combination of Winnowing and MinHash. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the Mash distance. An appropriate k-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds. The efficiency of the algorithm improves as both of these thresholds are increased.
