OGDRAW - Draw Organelle Genome Maps

Abhi — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 03:34:35 -0500

OrganellarGenomeDRAW converts annotations in the GenBank or EMBL/ENA format into graphical maps. The input has to be a GenBank or EMBL/ENA flat file wherase the output can vary among several types of files. The application is optimized to create detailed high-quality maps of organellar genomes (plastid and mitochondria). Nevertheless, you can upload most database entries.

Please take a look at our FAQ section and do not hesitate to report bugs or suggestions for improvements by email.

Google Genomics

Reshma Khatun — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:14:14 -0500

Google Genomics provides an API to store, process, explore, and share DNA sequence reads, reference-based alignments, and variant calls, using Google's cloud infrastructure.

Store alignments and variant calls for one genome or a million.
Process genomic data in batch by running principal component analysis or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in minutes or hours, by using parallel computing frameworks like MapReduce.
Explore data by slicing alignments and variants by genomic range across one or multiple samples -- for your own algorithms or for visualization; or interactively process entire cohorts to find transition/transversion ratios, allelic frequency, genome-wide association and more using BigQuery.
Share genomic data with your research group, collaborators, the broader community, or the public. You decide.

Google Genomics is implementing the API defined by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health for visualization, analysis and more. Compliant software can access Google Genomics, local servers, or any other implementation.

Human Complete Genome

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 06:42:55 -0500

Telomere-to-telomere consortium

We have sequenced the CHM13hTERT human cell line with a number of technologies. Human genomic DNA was extracted from the cultured cell line. As the DNA is native, modified bases will be preserved. The data includes 30x PacBio HiFi, 120x coverage of Oxford Nanopore, 70x PacBio CLR, 50x 10X Genomics, as well as BioNano DLS and Arima Genomics HiC. Most raw data is available from this site, with the exception of the PacBio data which was generated by the University of Washington/PacBio and is available from NCBI SRA.

A UCSC browser is available for v2.0 (as well as legacy v1.0 and v1.1 versions). An interactive dotplot visualization of all genomic repeats is also available from resgen.io. Known issues identified in the assembly are tracked at CHM13 issues.

Celebrating Crystallography - An animated adventure

Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:59:00 -0500

NEW: Now with French or Spanish subtitles (click on the 'Captions' icon to select). Plus... Watch the French language version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvLu7BOsJhM X-ray crystallography is arguably one of the greatest innovations of the twentieth century, but not that many people know what it is or how it came about. Join us on an animated journey through the 100 year history of crystallography -- from the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg in 1913 to the surface of Mars! Narrated by structural biologist Stephen Curry and produced by animation company 12foot6, the film explores the extraordinary history of crystallography. To date 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to projects related to the field and X-ray crystallography remains the foremost technique in determining the structures of a huge range of complex molecules. This film was produced in celebration of the Bragg Centenary and was funded by STFC.

Steps to find all the repeats in the genome !

Neel — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 02:43:28 -0500

To find repeats in a genome from 2 to 9 length using a Perl script, you can use the RepeatMasker tool with the "--length" option[0]. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Install RepeatMasker: First, you need to install RepeatMasker on your system. You can download it from the RepeatMasker website[0].

Prepare the genome sequence: Make sure you have the genome sequence in a FASTA file format. Let's assume the file is named "genome.fasta".

./RepeatMasker -pa -nolow -norna -no_is -div -lib RepeatMaskerLib.embl -gff -xsmall -small -poly -species -dir -length - genome.fasta

Replace the following placeholders with appropriate values:

: The number of processors/threads you want to use for parallel processing.
: The divergence value for the species you are analyzing. You can find divergence values for different species in the RepeatMasker documentation[0].
: The name of the species you are analyzing.
: The directory where you want the output files to be saved.
and : The minimum and maximum lengths of the repeats you want to find (in this case, 2 and 9).

Analyze the output: RepeatMasker will generate several output files, including a .out file. You can parse this file to extract the information you need. There is a Perl tool called "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" that can help you parse RepeatMasker output files[0]. You can download it from the source provided.

Use the provided Perl script: Once you have the "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" script, you can run it to conveniently parse the RepeatMasker output files. Here's an example of how to use it:

perl one_code_to_find_them_all.pl --rm --length

Replace with the path to your RepeatMasker .out file, and with the path to a file containing the lengths of the reference elements.

This script will generate several output files, including .log.txt and .copynumber.csv, which contain quantitative information about the identified repeat elements.

Remember to adjust the parameters and options according to your specific needs and the characteristics of your genome.
