www.bx.psu.edu - LASTZ is a program for aligning DNA sequences, a pairwise aligner. Originally designed to handle sequences the size of human chromosomes and from different species, it is also useful for sequences produced by NGS sequencing technologies such as...
ratt.sourceforge.net - RATT is software to transfer annotation from a reference (annotated) genome to an unannotated query genome.
It was first developed to transfer annotations between different genome assembly versions. However, it can also transfer annotations between...
github.com - Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:
Automatically improve draft assemblies
Find variation among strains, including large event detection
Pilon requires as input a FASTA file of the genome along with one or more BAM files of reads...
easyfig.sourceforge.net - Easyfig has moved to github, for newer releases of Easyfig please visit our new webpage - https://mjsull.github.io/Easyfig. Easyfig is a Python application for creating linear comparison figures of multiple genomic loci with an easy-to-use...
bioen-compbio.bioen.illinois.edu - Rreference-Assisted Chromosome Assembly (RACA), an algorithm to reliably order and orient sequence scaffolds generated by NGS and assemblers into longer chromosomal fragments using comparative genome information and paired-end...
www.broadinstitute.org - DISCOVAR is a new variant caller and DISCOVAR de novo a new genome assembler, both designed for state-of-the-art data. Their inputs are chosen to optimize quality while keeping costs low. Currently it takes as input Illumina reads of length 250 or...
homer.salk.edu - This tutorial covers topics independently of HOMER, and represents knowledge which is important to know before diving head first into more advanced analysis tools such as HOMER.
Setting up your computing environment
Retrieving and storing...
satsuma.sourceforge.net - Satsuma is a whole-genome synteny alignment program. It takes two genomes, computes alignments, and then keeps only the parts that are orthologous, i.e. following the conserved order and orientation of features, such as protein coding genes,...
github.com - Hagfish is a tool that is to be used in data analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) experiments. Hagfish builds on the concept of coverage plots and aims to assist (amongst others) in quality control of de novo genome assembly or...
www.well.ox.ac.uk - Stampy is a package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It's recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of...
