NextDenovo contains two core modules: NextCorrect and NextGraph. NextCorrect can be used to correct TGS long reads with approximately 15% sequencing errors, and NextGraph can be used to construct a string graph with corrected reads. It also contains a modified version of minimap2 for adapting input and output and producing more sensitive and accurate dovetail overlaps, and some useful utilities (see here for more details).

It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWig, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.

CrossMap is designed to liftover genome coordinates between assemblies. It’s not a program for aligning sequences to reference genome.

We do not recommend using CrossMap to convert genome coordinates between species.

Goal: To create blobplots or Taxon-Annotated-GC-Coverage plots (TAGC plots) to visualise the contents of genome assembly data sets as a QC step.

This repository accompanies the paper:
Blobology: exploring raw genome data for contaminants, symbionts and parasites using taxon-annotated GC-coverage plots. Sujai Kumar, Martin Jones, Georgios Koutsovoulos, Michael Clarke, Mark Blaxter
(submitted 2013-10-01 to Frontiers in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology special issue : Quality assessment and control of high-throughput sequencing data).

It contains bash/perl/R scripts for running the analysis presented in the paper to create a preliminary assembly, and to create and collate GC content, read coverage and taxon annotation for the preliminary assembly, which can be visualised, such as Figure 2a from the paper showing TAGC plots/blobplots for Caenorhabditis sp. 5:

The arguments accepted by ScaffMatch are:

  -w) Working directory -- this is the directory where ScaffMatch files are stored. These are .sam files produced after mapping reads to contigs and the resulting scaffolds file `scaffolds.fa` fasta file;

  -c) Contig fasta file;

  -m) Command line argument with no options. It is used when .sam files are used instead of reads .fastq files. Do not use this option if you provide reads files;

  -1) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the first read of the read pair;

  -2) (Comma separated list of) either .fastq or .sam file(s) corresponding to the second read of the read pair;

  -i) (Comma separated list of) insert size(s) of the library(-ies);

  -s) (Comma separated list of) library(-ies) standard deviation(s) of insert size(s);

  -t) Bundle threshold. Pairs of contigs supported by number of read pairs less than the value of this argument are discarded. Optional argument, by default it is equal to 5;

  -g) Matching heuristics: use `max_weight` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics with the Insertion step, use `backbone` for Maximum Weight Matching heuristics without the Insertion step, use `greedy` for Greedy Matching heuristics;

  -l) Log file - where to store the logs. Optional argument. By default, stdout is used.
