• velvet (velveth velvetg should be in your PATH)
• R (with Sweave)
• pdflatex (usually part of TeTeX)
• ggplot2 (from R prompt type install.packages("ggplot2","proto","xtable"))
• Perl

Optional:

• BLAT or BLAST (to generate alignments against a reference genome). If using BLAT, add faToTwoBit,gfClient,gfServer to your PATH. If using BLAST, add blastall and formatdb.

Edit permute.sh to your liking, paying particular attention to the kmer, cvCut, expCov, and other flags

To Run:

1. perl fastaAllSize mysequences.fa > mysequences.stat or gunzip -c mysequences.fa.gz | fastaAllSize > mysequences.stat Substitute fastqAllSize for fastq files.
2. ./permute.sh mysequences (leave out the .fa)

Grouping large genomic fragments assembled from shotgun metagenomic sequences to deconvolute complex microbial communities, or metagenome binning, enables the study of individual organisms and their interactions. Here we developed an automated metagenome binning software, called MetaBAT, which integrates empirical probabilistic distances of genome abundance and tetranucleotide frequency. Tested on both synthetic and real metagenome datasets, MetaBAT outperforms alternative methods in both accuracy and computational efficiency. Applying MetaBAT to an assembly from 1,704 human gut samples formed 1,634 genome bins (>200kb) in 3 hours, where 621 genome bins are >50% complete with <5% contamination from other species. Further analysis shows that the quality of these genome bins approaches manually curated genomes.

• For each genome, obtain a set of exon annotations. These annotations can be a combination of both exon predictions (e.g. Genscan) and annotations that have been experimentally verified (e.g. RefSeq). Ideally, we would like to have these annotations be as sensitive as possible. Specificity is not a concern, as incorrect annotations are not likely not have significant alignments with other gene annotations.
• Compare all exons against all exons in other genomes and record significant alignments between exons. Currently, we use BLAT to do this all-vs-all comparison with alignments being performed in protein space.
• Construct a graph with each vertex corresponding to a exon and edges between vertices whose corresponding exons have significant alignments.
• Identify cliques in this graph. These cliques are potential anchors to be used in the map.
• Starting with the largest cliques (those that have exons in all or most of the genomes), join neighboring (adjacent in genomic coordinates, in each genome) cliques to form runs. Smaller cliques that are inconsistent with runs formed by larger cliques are filtered out. After the smallest cliques have been considered, cliques that are not part of a run are discarded.
• The extents of each run in each genome are outputted as orthologous segments. The cliques from each run are used to output the exact genomic coordinates of anchors within each orthologous segment. These anchors can be used by genomic alignment programs (such as MAVID) to do a detailed alignment of each orthologous segment.

If you have any questions or comments, post them on one of the trackers on BRIG’s SourceForge page:http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=328245.

Features:

• Images show similarity between a central reference sequence and other sequences as concentric rings.
• BRIG will perform all BLAST comparisons and file parsing automatically via a simple GUI.
• Contig boundaries and read coverage can be displayed for draft genomes; customized graphs and annotations can be displayed.
• Using a user-defined set of genes as input, BRIG can display gene presence, absence, truncation or sequence variation in a set of complete genomes, draft genomes or even raw, unassembled sequence data.
• BRIG also accepts SAM-formatted read-mapping files enabling genomic regions present in unassembled sequence data from multiple samples to be compared simultaneously

Using the reference sequence dictionary (*.dict), it also creates some empty BAM files if no sam record was found for a chromosome. A pair of 'mock' SAM-Records can also be added to those empty BAMs to avoid some tools (like samtools) to crash.

Usage

java -jar splitbam.jar -p OUT/__CHROM__/__CHROM__.bam -R ref.fasta (bam|sam|stdin)

Options

• -h help; This screen.
• -R (indexed reference file) REQUIRED.
• -u (unmapped chromosome name): default:Unmapped
• -e | --empty : generate EMPTY bams for chromosome having no read mapped
• -m | --mock : if option '-e', add a mock pair of sam records to the empty bam
• -p (output file/bam pattern) REQUIRED. MUST contain __CHROM__ and end with .bam
• -s assume input is sorted.
• -x | --index create index.
• -t | --tmp (dir) tmp file directory
• -G (file) chrom-group file (see below)
