CGView - Circular Genome Viewer

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 10:15:57 -0500

CGView is a Java package for generating high quality, zoomable maps of circular genomes. Its primary purpose is to serve as a component of sequence annotation pipelines, as a means of generating visual output suitable for the web. Feature information and rendering options are supplied to the program using an XML file, a tab delimited file, or an NCBI ptt file. CGView converts the input into a graphical map (PNG, JPG, or Scalable Vector Graphics format), complete with labels, a title, legends, and footnotes. In addition to the default full view map, the program can generate a series of hyperlinked maps showing expanded views. The linked maps can be explored using any web browser, allowing rapid genome browsing, and facilitating data sharing. The feature labels in maps can be hyperlinked to external resources, allowing CGView maps to be integrated with existing web site content or databases. For examples of the various output types, see the CGView gallery. http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/cgview/gallery.html http://stothard.afns.ualberta.ca/downloads/CCT/index.html https://www.gview.ca/wiki/GView/WebHome https://server.gview.ca/ http://stothard.afns.ualberta.ca/cgview_server/ Paper https://academic.oup.com/bib/advance-article/doi/10.1093/bib/bbx081/4037458

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.

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.
