Samtools

Reading/writing/editing/indexing/viewing SAM/BAM/CRAM format

BCFtools

Reading/writing BCF2/VCF/gVCF files and calling/filtering/summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants

HTSlib

A C library for reading/writing high-throughput sequencing data

Samtools and BCFtools both use HTSlib internally, but these source packages contain their own copies of htslib so they can be built independently.

JSON is built on two structures:

• A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
• An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.

These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another. It makes sense that a data format that is interchangeable with programming languages also be based on these structures.

To begin, input your data using one of the three input styles.

1. "File" takes a correctly formatted.csv file.
2. "List" takes up to 6 different lists that contain unique elements, similar to that used in the web applications BioVenn (Hulsen et al., 2008) and jvenn (Bardou et al., 2014)
3. "Expression" takes the input used by the venneuler R package (Wilkinson, 2015)

The most used mappers of DNA-seq data are BWA and Bowtie for DNA-Seq data and Tophat, STAR or HISAT for RNA-Seq data. Mappers differ in which options they can take in, how fast and how accurate they are. Bowtie is faster than BWA, but looses some sensitivity (does not map an equal amount of reads to the correct position in the genome).

Though the specific implementation of the idea of the rectangle graph approach is already included into the current SPAdes distribution, we're also releasing the Rectangle Graph Module (RGM) as the separate code which can be run independently of SPAdes. Although RGM differs from the current implementation of the rectangle graph approach in SPAdes, in the future we plan to integrate RGM in SPAdes. RGM can be run with other genome assemblers if they use the graph format as SPAdes files.

It takes FASTA DNA sequence as input, and write GFF3 as output. It uses the new NHMMER tool that comes with HMMER 3.1 for HMM searching in RNA:DNA style. NHMMER binaries for 64-bit Linux and Mac OS X are included and will be auto-detected. Multithreading is supported and one can expect roughly linear speed-ups with more CPUs.
