Porechop: tool for finding and removing adapters from Oxford Nanopore reads

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 29 May 2018 07:33:44 -0500

Porechop is a tool for finding and removing adapters from Oxford Nanopore reads. Adapters on the ends of reads are trimmed off, and when a read has an adapter in its middle, it is treated as chimeric and chopped into separate reads. Porechop performs thorough alignments to effectively find adapters, even at low sequence identity.

Porechop also supports demultiplexing of Nanopore reads that were barcoded with the Native Barcoding Kit, PCR Barcoding Kit or Rapid Barcoding Kit.

List of non-commercial NGS genotype-calling software

Jit — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 04:21:32 -0500

Meaningful analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, which are produced extensively by genetics and genomics studies, relies crucially on the accurate calling of SNPs and genotypes. Recently developed statistical methods both improve and quantify the considerable uncertainty associated with genotype calling, and will especially benefit the growing number of studies using low- to medium-coverage data.

A list of programs for genotype and SNP calling :

SOAP2 http://soap.genomics.org.cn/index.html

Single-sample High-quality variant database (for example, dbSNP) Package for NGS data analysis, which includes a single individual genotype caller (SOAPsnp)

realSFS http://128.32.118.212/thorfinn/realSFS/

Single-sample Aligned reads Software for SNP and genotype calling using single individuals and allele frequencies. Site frequency spectrum (SFS) estimation

Samtools http://samtools.sourceforge.net/

Multi-sample Aligned reads Package for manipulation of NGS alignments, which includes a computation of genotype likelihoods (samtools) and SNP and genotype calling (bcftools)

GATK http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsa/wiki/index.php/The_Genome_Analysis_Toolkit Multi-sample Aligned reads Package for aligned NGS data analysis, which includes a SNP and genotype caller (Unifed Genotyper), SNP filtering (Variant Filtration) and SNP quality recalibration (Variant Recalibrator)

Beagle http://faculty.washington.edu/browning/beagle/beagle.html

Multi-sample LD Candidate SNPs, genotype likelihoods Software for imputation, phasing and association that includes a mode for genotype calling

IMPUTE2 http://mathgen.stats.ox.ac.uk/impute/impute_v2.html

Multi-sample LD ‘Feasible’ genealogies at a dense set of loci, genotype likelihoods Software for SNP and genotype calling, including a method for generating candidate SNPs without LD information (NLDA) and a method for incorporating LD information (LDA). The ‘feasible’ genealogies can be generated using Margarita (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/margarita)

MaCH http://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Thunder

AMStat: display statistics of large sequence files from next generation sequencing projects

Neel — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:34:56 -0600

SAMStat is an efficient C program to quickly display statistics of large sequence files from next generation sequencing projects. When applied to SAM/BAM files all statistics are reported for unmapped, poorly and accurately mapped reads separately. This allows for identification of a variety of problems, such as remaining linker and adaptor sequences, causing poor mapping. Apart from this SAMStat can be used to verify individual processing steps in large analysis pipelines.
