VariantBam: Filtering and profiling of next-generational sequencing data using region-specific rules

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 16:30:44 -0500

VariantBam is a tool to extract/count specific sets of sequencing reads from next-generational sequencing files. To save money, disk space and I/O, one may not want to store an entire BAM on disk. In many cases, it would be more efficient to store only those read-pairs or reads who intersect some region around the variant locations. Alternatively, if your scientific question is focused on only one aspect of the data (e.g. breakpoints), many reads can be removed without losing the information relevant to the problem.

jackalope: A swift, versatile phylogenomic and high-throughput sequencing simulator

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 00:58:12 -0500

jackalope simply and efficiently simulates (i) variants from reference genomes and (ii) reads from both Illumina and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) platforms. It can either read reference genomes from FASTA files or simulate new ones. Genomic variants can be simulated using summary statistics, phylogenies, Variant Call Format (VCF) files, and coalescent simulations—the latter of which can include selection, recombination, and demographic fluctuations. jackalope can simulate single, paired-end, or mate-pair Illumina reads, as well as reads from Pacific Biosciences These simulations include sequencing errors, mapping qualities, multiplexing, and optical/PCR duplicates. All outputs can be written to standard file formats.

Multi-CAR: a tool of contig scaffolding using multiple references

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 16:39:41 -0600

we design a simple heuristic method to further revise our single reference-based scaffolding tool CAR into a new one called Multi-CAR such that it can utilize multiple complete genomes of related organisms as references to more accurately order and orient the contigs of a draft genome. In practical usage, our Multi-CAR does not require prior knowledge concerning phylogenetic relationships among the draft and reference genomes and libraries of paired-end reads. To validate Multi-CAR, we have tested it on a real dataset composed of several prokaryotic genomes and also compared its accuracy performance with other multiple reference-based scaffolding tools Ragout and MeDuSa.

CSAR-web is a web-based tool that allows the users to efficiently and accurately scaffold (i.e. order and orient) the contigs of a target draft genome based on a complete or incomplete reference genome from a related organism.

CSAR-web can serve as a convenient and useful scaffolding tool allowing the users to efficiently and accurately scaffold their draft genomes according to a complete or incomplete reference genome.
