bedtools

Jit — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 04:50:44 -0600

Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, bedtools allows one tointersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.

bedtools is developed in the Quinlan laboratory at the University of Utah and benefits from fantastic contributions made by scientists worldwide.

MaxBin: software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Jit — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 04:03:38 -0600

MaxBin is software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Users can understand the underlying bins (genomes) of the microbes in their metagenomes by simply providing assembled metagenomic sequences and the reads coverage information or sequencing reads. For users' convenience MaxBin will report genome-related statistics, including estimated completeness, GC content and genome size in the binning summary page.

Users can use MEGAN or similar software on MaxBin bins to find the taxonomy of each bin after the binning process is finished.

The most recent version of MaxBin is 2.2, which supports the analysis of coassemblies of multiple samples. It is available at this JBEI downloads sites as well as MaxBin and MaxBin 2.0 sourceforge sites.

GroopM: Metagenomic binning toolset

Jit — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:59:45 -0600

GroopM is a metagenomic binning toolset. It leverages spatio-temoral
dynamics (differential coverage) to accurately (and almost automatically)
extract population genomes from multi-sample metagenomic datasets.

GroopM is largely parameter-free. Use: groopm -h for more info.

For installation and usage instructions see : http://ecogenomics.github.io/GroopM/

SSPACE

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 05:42:15 -0500

SSPACE standard is a stand-alone program for scaffolding pre-assembled contigs using NGS paired-read data. It is unique in offering the possibility to manually control the scaffolding process. By using the distance information of paired-end and/or matepair data, SSPACE is able to assess the order, distance and orientation of your contigs and combine them into scaffolds. Currently we offer this as a command-line tool in Perl. The input data is given by pre-assembled contig sequences (FASTA) and NGS paired-read data (Illumina/454/Solid FASTA or FASTQ). The final scaffolds are provided in FASTA format.

Flye: Fast and accurate de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads

Jit — Fri, 04 May 2018 19:16:22 -0500

Flye is a de novo assembler for long and noisy reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The algorithm uses an A-Bruijn graph to find the overlaps between reads and does not require them to be error-corrected. After the initial assembly, Flye performs an extra repeat classification and analysis step to improve the structural accuracy of the resulting sequence. The package also includes a polisher module, which produces the final assembly of high nucleotide-level quality.

LACHESIS: Genome Assembly with Hi-C-based Contact Probability Maps (LACHESIS)

Jit — Mon, 14 May 2018 04:26:30 -0500

LACHESIS is method that exploits contact probability map data (e.g. from Hi-C) for chromosome-scale de novo genome assembly.

Further information about LACHESIS, including source code, documentation and a user's guide are available at: http://shendurelab.github.io/LACHESIS.

Manuscript describing LACHESIS was published as: Burton JN#, Adey A, Patwardhan RP, Qiu R, Kitzman JO, Shendure J#. Chromosome-scale scaffolding of de novo genome assemblies based on chromatin interactions. Nature Biotechnology 2013 Dec;31(12):1119-25. doi: 10.1038/nbt.272. PubMed PMID: 24185095.

Ranbow: a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes

Jit — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 07:21:54 -0500

Ranbow is a haplotype assembler for polyploid genomes. It has been developed for the haplotype assembly of the hexaploid sweet potato genome, which is highly heterozygous. Ranbow can also be applied to other polyploid genomes. After a first phasing, Ranbow utilizes the assembled haplotypes to improve the accuracy of variant calling results and to infer the evolutionary history of the organism´s genome. Ranbow has three main modes of function: ranbow hap: for haplotyping ranbow eval: for evaluating of the assemble haplotypes by gold standard (long) reads ranbow phylo: for the phylogenetic analysis

Phased Human Genome Assembly !

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 09:10:54 -0500

The new publicly available assembly (PacBio HG00733) has the fewest gaps of any human genome assembly, with more than half of the genome contained in gapless sequence at least 27 Mb long. The primary contig assembly is 2.89 Gb long and consists of 865 contigs that were assembled with PacBio data generated with the company’s Sequel® System. Using the FALCON-Unzip assembler, maternal and paternal haplotypes were resolved over more than 80% of the genome. Maternal and paternal haplotype blocks were then further phased using Hi-C technology and the FALCON-Phase methoddeveloped in collaboration with Phase Genomics. The genome was then de novo scaffolded using Phase Genomics’ Proximo Hi-C platform, resulting in the first chromosome-scale diploid assembly of a single individual accomplished with only two technologies. More specific details about the assembly are included on the PacBio blog.

The data are available using NCBI accession IDs: BioProject: (PRJNA483067), assembly: [RBJD00000000] and sequence data (SRP155659).
