	<title><![CDATA[DFAST: a flexible prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline for faster genome publication]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>We developed a prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline, DFAST, that also supports genome submission to public sequence databases. DFAST was originally started as an on-line annotation server, and to date, over 7,000 jobs have been processed since its first launch in 2016. Here, we present a newly implemented background annotation engine for DFAST, which is also available as a standalone command-line program. The new engine can annotate a typical-sized bacterial genome within 10 minutes, with rich information such as pseudogenes, translation exceptions, and orthologous gene assignment between given reference genomes. In addition, the modular framework of DFAST allows users to customize the annotation workflow easily and will also facilitate extensions for new functions and incorporation of new tools in the future.</p>
<div>Availability and Implementation</div>
<p>The software is implemented in Python 3 and runs in both Python 2.7 and 3.4&ndash; on Macintosh and Linux systems. It is freely available at&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/nigyta/dfast_core/" target="">https://github.com/nigyta/dfast_core/</a>&nbsp;under the GPLv3 license with external binaries bundled in the software distribution. An on-line version is also available at&nbsp;<a href="https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/" target="">https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/</a>.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/" rel="nofollow">https://dfast.nig.ac.jp/</a></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Hercules: a profile HMM-based hybrid error correction algorithm for long reads]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Choosing whether to use second or third generation sequencing platforms can lead to trade-offs between accuracy and read length. Several studies require long and accurate reads including de novo assembly, fusion and structural variation detection. In such cases researchers often combine both technologies and the more erroneous long reads are corrected using the short reads. Current approaches rely on various graph based alignment techniques and do not take the error profile of the underlying technology into account. Memory- and time- efficient machine learning algorithms that address these shortcomings have the potential to achieve better and more accurate integration of these two technologies. Results: We designed and developed Hercules, the first machine learning-based long read error correction algorithm. The algorithm models every long read as a profile Hidden Markov Model with respect to the underlying platformtextquoterights error profile. The algorithm learns a posterior transition/emission probability distribution for each long read and uses this to correct errors in these reads. Using datasets from two DNA-seq BAC clones (CH17-157L1 and CH17-227A2), and human brain cerebellum polyA RNA-seq, we show that Hercules-corrected reads have the highest mapping rate among all competing algorithms and highest accuracy when most of the basepairs of a long read are covered with short reads.
