BAUM – Improving Genome Assembly by Adaptive Unique Mapping and Local Overlap-Layout-Consensus

Jit — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 23:35:09 -0500

BAUM, breaks the whole genome into regions by adaptive unique mapping; then the local OLC is used to assemble each region in parallel. BAUM can: (1) perform reference-assisted assembly based on the genome of a close species; (2) or improve the results of existing assemblies that are obtained based on short or long sequencing reads.

SIMBA: a Genome Assembly Project Management System

Neel — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 08:52:25 -0600

SIMBA, SImple Manager for Bacterial Assemblies, is a Web interface for managing assembly projects of bacterial genomes. SIMBA was created to assist bioinformaticians to assemble bacterial genomes sequenced with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) platforms quickly, easily and effectively. SIMBA also is open source tool, i.e., can be freely downloaded, shared and modified.

Caulobacter ethensis - 2.0 : Computer-generated Genome of a Living Organism

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 08:45:22 -0500

All the genome sequences of organisms known throughout the world are stored in a database belonging to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the United States. As of today, the database has an additional entry: Caulobacter ethensis-2.0.

It is the world's first fully computer-generated genome of a living organism, developed by scientists at ETH Zurich.

However, it must be emphasised that although the genome for C. ethensis-2.0 was physically produced in the form of a very large DNA molecule, a corresponding organism does not yet exist.

SneakySnake: A Fast and Accurate Universal Genome Pre-Alignment Filter for CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs

Neel — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 01:39:54 -0600

The first and the only pre-alignment filtering algorithm that works efficiently and fast on modern CPU, FPGA, and GPU architectures. SneakySnake greatly (by more than two orders of magnitude) expedites sequence alignment calculation for both short (Illumina) and long (ONT and PacBio) reads. Described by Alser et al. (preliminary version at https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.09020).
