DeepVariant is an analysis pipeline that uses a deep neural network to call genetic variants from next-generation DNA sequencing data.

DeepVariant is an analysis pipeline that uses a deep neural network to call genetic variants from next-generation DNA sequencing data. DeepVariant relies on Nucleus, a library of Python and C++ code for reading and writing data in common genomics file formats (like SAM and VCF) designed for painless integration with the TensorFlow machine learning framework.

WGDdetector: a pipeline for detecting whole genome duplication events using the genome or transcriptome annotations

LEGE — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 05:52:56 -0500

WGDdetector pipeline that integrates all analyses including gene family constructing, dS estimating and phasing, and outputting the dS values of each paralogs pairs processed with only one command. We further chose four species (Arabidopsis thaliana, Juglans regia, Populus trichocarpa and Xenopus laevis) representing herb, wood and animal, to test its practicability. Our final results showed a high degree of accuracy with the previous studies using both genome and transcriptome data.

SqueezeMeta: a fully automated metagenomics pipeline, from reads to bins

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:29:16 -0500

SqueezeMeta is a full automatic pipeline for metagenomics/metatranscriptomics, covering all steps of the analysis. SqueezeMeta includes multi-metagenome support allowing the co-assembly of related metagenomes and the retrieval of individual genomes via binning procedures. Thus, SqueezeMeta features several unique characteristics:

Co-assembly procedure with read mapping for estimation of the abundances of genes in each metagenome
Co-assembly of a large number of metagenomes via merging of individual metagenomes
Includes binning and bin checking, for retrieving individual genomes
The results are stored in a database, where they can be easily exported and shared, and can be inspected anywhere using a web interface.
Internal checks for the assembly and binning steps inform about the consistency of contigs and bins, allowing to spot potential chimeras.
Metatranscriptomic support via mapping of cDNA reads against reference metagenomes

PubMed opens for comment

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:40:17 -0500

The informal conversations that researchers have at scientific meetings look set to move online, if a new initiative by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has its way. On 22 October, the NCBI of Bethesda, Maryland, launched the pilot phase of a programme called PubMed Commons. This will allow users to comment on published abstracts on the PubMed website, which indexes some 22 million papers.

For now, only a select group of researchers and their invited guests can use the system. But the NCBI's director David Lipman, who helped to develop the programme, says that soon any PubMed author will be allowed to comment under his or her real name and anyone will be able to read the comments.
