%MinMax: A versatile tool for calculating and comparing synonymous codon usage and its impact on protein folding.

Surabhi Chaudhary — Thu, 24 May 2018 02:53:31 -0500

%MM calculates whether a given gene sequence encodes amino acids using the most common codons possible, the least common codons possible, or (most typically) some combination of these extremes. See our PLoS ONE paper for more details on how the %MinMax algorithm works. %MinMax results are averaged over an 18-codon sliding window; hence the result for "codon window = 1" is the average codon usage for codons 1-18, codon window 2 = codons 2-19, etc.

EAGLER: a scaffolding tool for long reads.

Jit — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 05:26:03 -0500

EAGLER is a scaffolding tool for long reads. The scaffolder takes as input a draft genome created by any NGS assembler and a set of long reads. The long reads are used to extend the contigs present in the NGS draft and possibly join overlapping contigs. EAGLER supports both PacBio and Oxford Nanopore reads.

The tool should be compatible with most UNIX flavors and has been successfully tested on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.11.1
Mac OS X 10.10.3
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

FMLRC: a long-read error correction tool using the multi-string Burrows Wheeler Transform

Neel — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 13:29:28 -0500

FMLRC, or FM-index Long Read Corrector, is a tool for performing hybrid correction of long read sequencing using the BWT and FM-index of short-read sequencing data. Given a BWT of the short-read sequencing data, FMLRC will build an FM-index and use that as an implicit de Bruijn graph. Each long read is then corrected independently by identifying low frequency k-mers in the long read and replacing them with the closest matching high frequency k-mers in the implicit de Bruijn graph. In contrast to other de Bruijn graph based implementations, FMLRC is not restricted to a particular k-mer size and instead uses a two pass method with both a short "k-mer" and a longer "K-mer". This allows FMLRC to correct through low complexity regions that are computational difficult for short k-mers.
