Bacterial genome assembly !!

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 06:11:22 -0500

This tutorial will serve as an example of how to use free and open-source genome assembly and secondary scaffolding tools to generate high quality assemblies of bacterial sequence data. The bacterial sample used in this tutorial will be referred to simply as “Species” since it is live data. This data is paired-end data, meaning that there are forward and reverse reads, which we will designate as Sample_R1.fastq and Sample_R2.fastq, respectively.

Hagfish - assess an assembly through creative use of coverage plots

Abhi — Fri, 20 May 2016 19:08:17 -0500

Hagfish is a tool that is to be used in data analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) experiments. Hagfish builds on the concept of coverage plots and aims to assist (amongst others) in quality control of de novo genome assembly or identification of structural variation in a genome re-sequencing experiment.

Hagfish requires a reference sequence and a paired end re-sequencing data set. Hagfish has more power the larger the insert size of the paired end library is.

LACHESIS: Genome Assembly with Hi-C-based Contact Probability Maps (LACHESIS)

Jit — Mon, 14 May 2018 04:26:30 -0500

LACHESIS is method that exploits contact probability map data (e.g. from Hi-C) for chromosome-scale de novo genome assembly.

Further information about LACHESIS, including source code, documentation and a user's guide are available at: http://shendurelab.github.io/LACHESIS.

Manuscript describing LACHESIS was published as: Burton JN#, Adey A, Patwardhan RP, Qiu R, Kitzman JO, Shendure J#. Chromosome-scale scaffolding of de novo genome assemblies based on chromatin interactions. Nature Biotechnology 2013 Dec;31(12):1119-25. doi: 10.1038/nbt.272. PubMed PMID: 24185095.

R-chie

Jit — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:47:24 -0500

R-chie allows you to make arc diagrams of RNA secondary structures, allowing for easy comparison and overlap of two structures, rank and display basepairs in colour and to also visualize corresponding multiple sequence alignments and co-variation information.
R4RNA is the R package powering R-chie, available for download and local use for more customized figures and scripting.

SGA: String Graph Assembler

Jit — Thu, 08 Dec 2016 05:08:59 -0600

SGA is a de novo genome assembler based on the concept of string graphs. The major goal of SGA is to be very memory efficient, which is achieved by using a compressed representation of DNA sequence reads.

More at

https://github.com/jts/sga

SGA dependencies:
-google sparse hash library (http://code.google.com/p/google-sparsehash/)
-the bamtools library (https://github.com/pezmaster31/bamtools)
-zlib (http://www.zlib.net/)
-(optional but suggested) the jemalloc memory allocator (http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/download.html)

MeGAMerge: A tool to merge assembled contigs, long reads from metagenomic sequencing runs

Jit — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 09:42:15 -0600

MeGAMerge

MeGAMerge (A tool to merge assembled contigs, long reads from metagenomic sequencing runs)

Description

MeGAMerge is a perl based wrapper/tool that can accept any number of sequence (FASTA) files containing assembled contigs of any length in Multi-FASTA format to produce an improved contig set based on OLC based assembly. All overlap parameters (Minimum Overlap Length, Identity, etc) are user-declarable at runtime. It is written to run on Linux.

Requirements:

You will need to have the following tools installed and in $PATH, or added to $binpath in the tool:

Newbler (specifically runAssembly)
Minimus2 (part of AMOS, also requires MUMmer)

splitbam: splits a BAM by chromosomes

Jit — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 09:01:28 -0600

splitbam splits a BAM by chromosomes.

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)
