	<title><![CDATA[HISAT2: a fast and sensitive alignment program for mapping next-generation sequencing reads]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>HISAT2</strong><span>&nbsp;is a fast and sensitive alignment program for mapping next-generation sequencing reads (both DNA and RNA) to a population of human genomes (as well as to a single reference genome). Based on an extension of BWT for graphs&nbsp;</span><a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2674828">[Sir&eacute;n et al. 2014]</a><span>, we designed and implemented a graph FM index (GFM), an original approach and its first implementation to the best of our knowledge. In addition to using one global GFM index that represents a population of human genomes, HISAT2 uses a large set of small GFM indexes that collectively cover the whole genome (each index representing a genomic region of 56 Kbp, with 55,000 indexes needed to cover the human population). These small indexes (called local indexes), combined with several alignment strategies, enable rapid and accurate alignment of sequencing reads. This new indexing scheme is called a Hierarchical Graph FM index (HGFM).&nbsp;</span></p>

One should also try to see how genomics infrastructure is built up or standing in Pakistan. If research labs having collaboration with hospitals employ genomics then one must also visit such labs. This will bring new avenues in healthcare advances. Not only it opens up the wealth of knowledge one can make out of genomics study but will also advance the critical thinking of therapies.</p><p>So I would encourage to target research labs working in the fields and also get information of hospitals employing genomics, this will give you an overall understanding of the fields demand in your country.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Dahak is a software suite that integrates state-of-the-art open source tools for metagenomic analyses. Tools in the dahak software suite will perform various steps in metagenomic analysis workflows including data pre-processing, metagenome assembly, taxonomic and functional classification, genome binning, and gene assignment. We aim to deliver the analytical framework as a robust and reliable containerized workflow system, which will be free from dependency, installation, and execution problems typically associated with other open-source bioinformatics solutions. This will maximize the transparency, data provenance (i.e., the process of tracing the origins of data and its movement through the workflow), and reproducibility.</span></p>

	<title><![CDATA[Ancient whole genome duplication (WGD) detection tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are two methods for ancient WGD detection, one is collinearity analysis, and the other is based on the Ks distribution map. Among them, Ks is defined as the average number of synonymous substitutions at each synonymous site, and there is also a Ka corresponding to it, which refers to the average number of non-synonymous substitutions at each non-synonymous site.</p><p>At present, some people have posted articles about the analysis process of WGD. I searched for the keyword "wgd pipeline" and found the following:</p><p><strong>GenoDup: https:// github.com/MaoYafei/GenoDup-Pipeline</strong><br /><strong>https://peerj.com/articles/6303/</strong><br /><strong>WGDdetector: https:// github.com/yongzhiyang2 012/WGDdetector</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-019-2670-3</strong><br /><strong>wgd: https:// github.com/arzwa/wgd</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2#Sec1</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>GeNoGAP https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>https://github.com/dfguan/purge_dups</strong><br /><strong>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.24.917997v1</strong></p><p>This article introduces the usage of wgd.</p><p>Wgd cannot be installed directly with bioconda at present, so it is a little troublesome to install, because it depends on a lot of software. wgd depends on the following software</p><p><strong>BLAST</strong><br /><strong>MCL</strong><br /><strong>MUSCLE/MAFFT/PRANK</strong><br /><strong>PAML</strong><br /><strong>PhyML/FastTree</strong><br /><strong>i-ADHoRe</strong></p><p>But the good news is that most of the software it depends on can be installed with bioconda</p><blockquote><p>conda create -n wgd python=3.5 blast mcl muscle mafft prank paml fasttree cmake libpng mpi=1.0=mpich<br />conda activate wgd</p></blockquote><p>Here mpi=1.0=mpich is selected, because i-adhore depends on mpich. If openmpi is installed, an error will appear while loading shared libraries: libmpi_cxx.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</p><p>After that, the installation is much simpler</p><blockquote><p>git clone https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />cd wgd<br />pip install .<br />pip install git+https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />For i-ADHoRe, you need to register at http:// bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be /webtools/i-adhore/licensing/Agree to the license to download i-ADHoRe-3.0</p></blockquote><p>Since my miniconda3 installed ~/opt/, the installation path is so~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/</p><blockquote><p>tar -zxvf i-adhore-3.0.01.tar.gz<br />cd i-adhore-3.0.01<br />mkdir -p build &amp;&amp; cd build<br />cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/<br />make -j 4 <br />make insatall</p></blockquote><p>Take the sugarcane genome Saccharum spontaneum L as an example. The genome is 8-ploid with 32 chromosomes (2n = 4x8 = 32)</p><p><strong>Download the tutorial for CDS and GFF annotation files</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>mkdir -p wgd_tutorial &amp;&amp; cd wgd_tutorial</strong><br /><strong>wget http://www.life.illinois.edu/ming/downloads/Spontaneum_genome/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.gz</strong><br /><strong>wget http://www.life.illinois.edu/ming/downloads/Spontaneum_genome/Sspon.v20190103.gff3.gz</strong><br /><strong>gunzip *.gz</strong></p></blockquote><p>First conda activate wgdstart our analysis environment, and then start the analysis</p><p>Step 1 : Use to wgd mclidentify homologous genes in the genome</p><blockquote><p>wgd mcl -n 20 --cds --mcl -s Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta -o Sspon_cds.out</p></blockquote><p>Step 2 : Use to wgd ksdbuild Ks distribution</p><blockquote><p>wgd ksd --n_threads 80 Sspon_cds.out/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.blast.tsv.mcl Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta</p></blockquote><p>Step 3 : If the quality of the genome is good, then wgd syncollinearity analysis can be used . It can help us find the collinearity block in the genome and the corresponding anchor point</p><blockquote><p>wgd syn --feature gene --gene_attribute ID \<br /> -ks wgd_ksd/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.ks.tsv \<br /> Sspon.v20190103.gff3 Sspon_cds.out/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.blast.tsv.mcl</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;For more reading - There are 9 sub-modules in WGD</p><ul>

	<title><![CDATA[A guide for complete R beginners :- Installing R packages]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Part of the reason R has become so popular is the vast array of packages available at the <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">cran</a> and <a href="http://www.bioconductor.org/" target="_blank">bioconductor</a> repositories. In the last few years, the number of packages has grown <a href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2010/09/what-can-other-languages-learn-from-r.html" target="_blank">exponentially</a>!</p><p>This is a short post giving steps on how to actually install R packages. Let&rsquo;s suppose you want to install the <a href="http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/" target="_blank">ggplot2</a> package. Well nothing could be easier. We just fire up an R shell and type:<br /><code><br />&gt; install.packages("ggplot2")</code></p><p>In theory the package should just install, however:</p><ul>
<li>if you are using Linux and don&rsquo;t have root access, this command won&rsquo;t work.</li>
<li>you will be asked to select your local mirror, i.e. which server should you use to download the package.</li>
</ul><h4>Installing packages without root access</h4><p>First, you need to designate a directory where you will store the downloaded packages. On my machine, I use the directory <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> After creating a package directory, to install a package we use the command:<br /><code><br />&gt; install.packages("ggplot2"</code><code>, lib="/data/Rpackages/")<br />&gt; library(ggplot2, lib.loc="/data/Rpackages/")<br /></code></p><p>It&rsquo;s a bit of a pain having to type <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> all the time. To avoid this burden,&nbsp; we create a file <code>.Renviron</code> in our home area, and add the line <code>R_LIBS=/data/Rpackages/</code> to it. This means that whenever you start R, the directory <code>/data/Rpackages/</code> is added to the list of places to look for R packages and so:</p><p><code>&gt; install.packages("ggplot2"</code><code>)<br />&gt; library(ggplot2)</code></p><p>just works!</p><h4>Setting the repository</h4><p>Every time you install a R package, you are asked which repository R should use. To set the repository and avoid having to specify this at every package install, simply:</p><ul>
<li>create a file <code>.Rprofile</code> in your home area.</li>
<li>Add the following piece of code to it:</li>
</ul><p><code><br />cat(".Rprofile: Setting UK repositoryn")<br />r = getOption("repos") # hard code the UK repo for CRAN<br />r["CRAN"] = "http://cran.uk.r-project.org"<br />options(repos = r)<br />rm(r)<br /></code></p><p>I found this tip in a stackoverflow <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1189759/expert-r-users-whats-in-your-rprofile/1189826#1189826" target="_blank">answer </a>.</p>]]></description>
