Long read assembly workshop !

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 17:23:18 -0500

This is a tutorial for a workshop on long-read (PacBio) genome assembly.

It demonstrates how to use long PacBio sequencing reads to assemble a bacterial genome, and includes additional steps for circularising, trimming, finding plasmids, and correcting the assembly with short-read Illumina data.

Please comment if you know any other long read addembly tutorial.

Research in our group focuses on the investigation of the signals involved in gene specification in genomic sequences (promoter elements, splice sites, translation initiation sites, etc…). We are interested both in the mechanism of their recognition and processing, and in their evolution. In addition, but related to this basic component of our research, our group is also involved in the development of software for gene prediction and annotation in genomic sequences. Our group also actively participates in the analysis of many eukaryotic genomes and it in involved in the NIH-funded ENCODE project. Furthermore we are members of two large cancer-studies consortia (chronic lymphocytic leukemia "CLL" and Breast Cancer -Hospital del Mar/CRG/Roche-).

Which math/statistics programming language/application do you most frequently use in bioinformatics?

John Parker — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 17:46:41 -0500

I'm doing a bit more statistical analysis on some bioinformatics things lately, and I'm curious if there are any programming languages that are particularly good for this NGS computation. What suggestions do you guys have? Are there any languages that have exceptionally good libraries?

Complete, accurate replication of the genome is essential for life. All chromosomes in eukaryotic cells must be duplicated and then segregated to daughter cells to ensure genetic integrity and produce the large number of cells that make up a multicellular organism. We are using genetic, genomic and computational methods to understand how chromosome replication is regulated to ensure genome stability. By focusing on the basic biology that underpins cell growth and division we aim to provide new insights that may help our understanding of diseases such as cancer and congenital disorders.

Cogent: a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences.

Jit — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 05:33:04 -0500

Cogent is a tool that identifies gene families and reconstructs the coding genome using high-quality transcriptome data without a reference genome, and can be used to check assemblies for the presence of these known coding sequences.

Cogent is a tool for reconstructing the coding genome using high-quality full-length transcriptome sequences. It is designed to be used on Iso-Seq data and in cases where there is no reference genome or the ref genome is highly incomplete.

See a recent presentation on Cogent being applied to the Cuttlefish Iso-Seq data.

Cogent preliminary draft paper (updated 2016Dec version), Supplementary

Please see wiki for details on usage.

Explore genetic variation interactively. Compare entire cohorts in seconds with SQL-like queries. Compute transition/transversion ratios, genome-wide association, allelic frequency and more.
Process big genomic data easily. Run batch analyses like principal component analysis and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium on as many samples as you like, in minutes or hours, with just a little code.
Use Google's infrastructure and big data expertise. Store one genome or a million using Google Genomics and take advantage of the same infrastructure that powers Search, Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Drive.
Support emerging global standards. Google Genomics is implementing the API defined by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health for visualization, analysis and more. Compliant software can access Google Genomics, local servers, or any other implementation.

seqloc 0.6

The Bio.SeqLoc modules in seqloc are designed to represent positions and locations (ranges of positions) on sequences, particularly nucleotide sequences. My original motivation for writing these packages was handing the locations of genes in eukaryotic genomes.
