ANItools web: a web tool for fast genome comparison within multiple bacterial strains

Jit — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 04:34:23 -0600

ANItools is a software package written by PERL scripts that can be run in a Linux/Unix system. If you want to compare bacterial genomes and calculate their average nucleotide identity (ANI), you could download and run this program directly. Or you could send us the genome sequence by email. Then we will do the analysis work for you.

Versatile genome assembly evaluation with QUAST-LG

Jit — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 22:06:31 -0600

QUAST-LG is an extension of QUAST intended for evaluating large-scale genome assemblies (up to mammalian-size).

QUAST-LG is included in the QUAST package starting from version 5.0.0 (download the latest release). Run QUAST as usual and do not forget to add ‐‐large option to your command!

A short list of the new features (see CHANGES for all):

Significant speedup achieved by both use of new fast aligner (minimap2) and the refactoring of alignment analyzing modules
New k-mer-based completeness and correctness metrics
BUSCO added for enhanced reference-free analysis
The concept of upper bound assembly (theoretical limits on the assembly completeness and contiguity for a given genome and set of reads)

LTR_retriever: accurately identifies and annotates LTR retrotransposons and use LAI to evaluates the continuity of genome assemblies.

Neel — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 07:14:31 -0600

LTR_retriever is a command line program (in Perl) for accurate identification of LTR retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) from outputs of LTRharvest, LTR_FINDER, and/or MGEScan-LTR and generating non-redundant LTR-RT library for genome annotations.

By default, the program will generate whole-genome LTR-RT annotation and the LTR Assembly Index (LAI) for evaluations of the assembly continuity of the input genome. Users can also run LAI separately (see Usage).
