rHAT: a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 05:12:22 -0500

rHAT is a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool. It is suitable for aligning 3rd generation sequencing reads which are in large read length with relatively high error rate, especially Pacbio's Single Molecule Read-time (SMRT) sequencing reads.

Synima: a Synteny imaging tool for annotated genome assemblies

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 10:49:13 -0500

Synima written in Perl, which uses the graphical features of R. Synima takes orthologues computed from reciprocal best BLAST hits or OrthoMCL, and DAGchainer, and outputs an overview of genome-wide synteny in PDF. Each of these programs are included with the Synima package, and a pipeline for their use. Synima has a range of graphical parameters including size, colours, order, and labels, which are specified in a config file generated by the first run of Synima – and can be subsequently edited. Synima runs quickly on a command line to generate informative and publication quality figures. Synima is open source and freely available from https://github.com/rhysf/Synima under the MIT License.

ClipCrop: a tool for detecting structural variations with single-base resolution using soft-clipping information

BioJoker — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 06:34:36 -0600

ClipCrop for detecting SVs with single-base resolution using soft-clipping information. A soft-clipped sequence is an unmatched fragment in a partially mapped read. To assess the performance of ClipCrop with other SV-detecting tools, we generated various patterns of simulation data – SV lengths, read lengths, and the depth of coverage of short reads – with insertions, deletions, tandem duplications, inversions and single nucleotide alterations in a human chromosome.

Minipolish: A tool for Racon polishing of miniasm assemblies

BioStar — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 02:40:54 -0600

Miniasm is a great long-read assembly tool: straight-forward, effective and very fast. However, it does not include a polishing step, so its assemblies have a high error rate – they are essentially made of stitched-together pieces of long reads.

Racon is a great polishing tool that can be used to clean up assembly errors. It's also very fast and well suited for long-read data. However, it operates on FASTA files, not the GFA graphs that miniasm makes.

That's where Minipolish comes in. With a single command, it will use Racon to polish up a miniasm assembly, while keeping the assembly in graph form.

It also takes care of some of the other nuances of polishing a miniasm assembly:

Adding read depth information to contigs
Fixing sequence truncation that can occur in Racon
Adding circularising links to circular contigs if not already present (so they display better in Bandage)
'Rotating' circular contigs between polishing rounds to ensure clean circularisation
