YAMP: Yet Another Metagenomic Pipeline

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 04:26:00 -0500

YAMP is constructed on Nextflow, a framework based on the dataflow programming model, which allows writing workflows that are highly parallel, easily portable (including on distributed systems), and very flexible and customisable, characteristics which have been inherited by YAMP. New modules can be added easily and the existing ones can be customised -- even though we have already provided default parameters deriving from our own experience.

Omega2: metagenome assembly pipeline

Jit — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 05:56:07 -0500

Omega found overlaps between reads using a prefix/suffix hash table. The overlap graph of reads was simplified by removing transitive edges and trimming short branches. Unitigs were generated based on minimum cost flow analysis of the overlap graph and then merged to contigs and scaffolds using mate-pair information. In comparison with three de Bruijn graph assemblers (SOAPdenovo, IDBA-UD and MetaVelvet), Omega provided comparable overall performance on a HiSeq 100-bp dataset and superior performance on a MiSeq 300-bp dataset. In comparison with Celera on the MiSeq dataset, Omega provided more continuous assemblies overall using a fraction of the computing time of existing overlap-layout-consensus assemblers. This indicates Omega can more efficiently assemble longer Illumina reads, and at deeper coverage, for metagenomic datasets.

HiC-Pro: an optimized and flexible pipeline for Hi-C data processing

Jit — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 01:05:21 -0600

HiC-Pro was designed to process Hi-C data, from raw fastq files (paired-end Illumina data) to the normalized contact maps. Since version 2.7.0, HiC-Pro supports the main Hi-C protocols, including digestion protocols as well as protocols that do not require restriction enzyme such as DNase Hi-C. In practice, HiC-Pro can be used to process dilution Hi-C, in situ Hi-C, DNase Hi-C, Micro-C, capture-C, capture Hi-C or HiChip data.

MetaPlotR: a Perl/R pipeline for plotting metagenes of nucleotide modifications and other transcriptomic sites

Neel — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 08:12:45 -0600

An increasing number of studies are mapping protein binding and nucleotide modifications sites throughout the transcriptome. Often, these sites cluster in certain regions of the transcript, giving clues to their function. Hence, it is informative to summarize where in the transcript these sites occur. A metagene is a simple and effective tool for visualizing the distribution of sites along a simplified transcript model. In this work, we introduce MetaPlotR, a Perl/R pipeline for creating metagene plots.

Perl One liner basics !!

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 24 May 2015 09:28:33 -0500

Perl has a ton of command line switches (see perldoc perlrun), but I'm just going to cover the ones you'll commonly need to debug code. The most important switch is -e, for execute (or maybe "engage" :) ). The -e switch takes a quoted string of Perl code and executes it. For example:

$ perl -e 'print "Hello, World!\n"'
Hello, World!

It's important that you use single-quotes to quote the code for -e. This usually means you can't use single-quotes within the one liner code. If you're using Windows cmd.exe or PowerShell, you must use double-quotes instead.

I'm always forgetting what Perl's predefined special variables do, and often test them at the command line with a one liner to see what they contain. For instance do you remember what $^O is?

$ perl -e 'print "$^O\n"'
linux

It's the operating system name. With that cleared up, let's see what else we can do. If you're using a relatively new Perl (5.10.0 or higher) you can use the -E switch instead of -e. This turns on some of Perl's newer features, like say, which prints a string and appends a newline to it. This saves typing and makes the code cleaner:

$ perl -E 'say "$^O"'
linux

Pretty handy! say is a nifty feature that you'll use again and again.

TRITEX sequence assembly pipeline for Triticeae genomes

Jit — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 09:47:14 -0500

The pipeline is open-source and hosted in a public Bitbucket repository.

TRITEX has been run on highly inbred genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare), tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum) and hexaploid wheat (T. aestivum) with reasonable results: super-scaffold N50 values in the range of dozens of Mb and pseudomolecules with better gene space representation than a BAC-by-BAC assembly. It has never been tested and is not expected to work on heterozygous or autopolyploid genomes.

A protocol for generating chromosome-conformation capture sequencing (Hi-C) data suitable for use with the pipeline is described in Himmelbach et al. 2018. Refer to the technical notes of 10X Genomics on how to generate Chromium data.
