BBMAP • a solution for everything

That content has been reformatted and it is being expanded to include more information.

There are common options for most BBMap suite programs and depending on the file extension the input/output format is automatically chosen/set.

Using BBMap

Mapping Nanopore reads

BBMap.sh has a length cap of 6kbp. Reads longer than this will be broken into 6kbp pieces and mapped independently.

HGA

Jit — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 07:25:53 -0600

HGA tool version 1.0 This tool helps to apply the Hierarchical Genome Assembly (HGA) method. The tool will apply: 1. Partitioning a given reads dataset into a given number of partitions. 2. Assembling each partitions using a pre-specified assembler (Velvet or SPAdes in this version) and using a given kmer size. 3. Merging all the assemblies of the partition. 4. Combining all the assemblies of the partition (using velvet with kmer value of 31). 5. Finaly, re-assembling the whole dataset with the merged contigs or the combined contigs, using a given kmer size.

fqtools

Jit — Thu, 08 Dec 2016 09:31:12 -0600

fqtools is a software suite for fast processing of FASTQ files. Various file manipulations are supported. See below for a full list of the subcommands available and a brief description of their purpose. Most of the individual subcommands will take either a single file or a pair of files as input. If no input file is specified, fqtools will attempt to read data from stdin. In this case, it is advisabe to specify the format of the data provided. For subcommands that generate FASTQ data, either a single file or a pair of files will be generated. If no -o argument is provided, single files will be writted to stdout.

CISA: Contig Integrator for Sequence Assembly

Neel — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 05:42:21 -0600

A plethora of algorithmic assemblers have been proposed for the de novo assembly of genomes, however, no individual assembler guarantees the optimal assembly for diverse species. Optimizing various parameters in an assembler is often performed in order to generate the most optimal assembly. However, few efforts have been pursued to take advantage of multiple assemblies to yield an assembly of high accuracy. In this study, we employ various state-of-the-art assemblers to generate different sets of contigs for bacterial genomes. A tool, named CISA, has been developed to integrate the assemblies into a hybrid set of contigs, resulting in assemblies of superior contiguity and accuracy, compared with the assemblies generated by the state-of-the-art assemblers and the hybrid assemblies merged by existing tools. This tool is implemented in Python and requires MUMmer and BLAST+ to be installed on the local machine. The source code of CISA and examples of its use are available at http://sb.nhri.org.tw/CISA/.

iTOL: interactive Tree Of Life

Jit — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 05:56:30 -0600

Interactive Tree Of Life is an online tool for the display and manipulation of phylogenetic trees. It provides most of the features available in other tree viewers, and offers a novel circular tree layout, which makes it easy to visualize mid-sized tree (up to several thousand leaves). Trees can be exported to several graphical formats, both bitmap and vector based.

There are several pre-computed trees available for display, including the main Tree Of Life, described in Ciccarelli, et al., 2006. In addition to the precomputed trees, users can upload and display personal trees and data, using the 'Data upload' page or through a personal user account.
