ReMILO: reference assisted misassembly detection algorithm using short and long reads.

Jit — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 04:27:49 -0500

ReMILO, a reference assisted misassembly detection algorithm that uses both short reads and PacBio SMRT long reads. ReMILO aligns the initial short reads to both the contigs and reference genome, and then constructs a novel data structure called red-black multipositional de Bruijn graph to detect misassemblies. In addition, ReMILO also aligns the contigs to long reads and find their differences from the long reads to detect more misassemblies.

SimLoRD: A read simulator for third generation sequencing reads

Aaryan Lokwani — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 10:40:27 -0500

SimLoRD is a read simulator for third generation sequencing reads and is currently focused on the Pacific Biosciences SMRT error model.

Reads are simulated from both strands of a provided or randomly generated reference sequence.

The reference can be read from a FASTA file or randomly generated with a given GC content. It can consist of several chromosomes, whose structure is respected when drawing reads. (Simulation of genome rearrangements may be incorporated at a later stage.)
The read lengths can be determined in four ways: drawing from a log-normal distribution (typical for genomic DNA), sampling from an existing FASTQ file (typical for RNA), sampling from a a text file with integers (RNA), or using a fixed length
Quality values and number of passes depend on fragment length.
Provided subread error probabilities are modified according to number of passes
Outputs reads in FASTQ format and alignments in SAM format

FastGT: an alignment-free method for calling common SNVs directly from raw sequencing reads

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:27:33 -0600

FastGT is a program package for whole-genome genotyping of genome variants directly from raw sequencing reads. It is written in C and runs in Linux. FastGT uses a list of variant-specific k-mer pairs that are unique in human genome, counts the frequency of k-mers in sequencing data and predicts the genotype. All this takes less than 1 hour on average low-cost Linux server.
