HaploMerger2: rebuilding both haploid sub-assemblies from high-heterozygosity diploid genome assembly

BioStar — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 07:08:47 -0500

HM2 can process any diploid assemblies, but it is especially suitable for diploid assemblies with high heterozygosity (≥3%), which can be difficult for other tools. This pipeline also implements flexible and sensitive assembly error detection, a hierarchical scaffolding procedure and a reliable gap-closing method for haploid sub-assemblies.

Source code, executables and the testing dataset are freely available at https://github.com/mapleforest/HaploMerger2/releases/.

Referee: Genome assembly quality scores

Jit — Sun, 04 Nov 2018 16:44:30 -0600

Modern genome sequencing technologies provide a succint measure of quality at each position in every read, however all of this information is lost in the assembly process. Referee summarizes the quality information from the reads that map to a site in an assembled genome to calculate a quality score for each position in the genome assembly.

We accomplish this by first calculating genotype likelihoods for every site. For a given site in a diploid genome, there are 10 possible genotypes (AA, AC, AG, AT, CC, CG, CT, GG, GT, TT). Referee takes as input the genotype likelihoods calculated for all 10 genotypes given the called reference base at each position.

Referee is a program to calculate a quality score for every position in a genome assembly. This allows for easy filtering of low quality sites for any downstream analysis.

Evaluation of genome assembly software based on long reads

BioStar — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 11:55:54 -0600

TGS technologies have been used to produce highly accurate de novo assemblies of hundreds of microbial genomes and highly contiguous reconstructions of many dozens of plant and animal genomes, enabling new insights into evolution and sequence diversity. They have also been applied to resequencing analyses, to create detailed maps of structural variations in many species. Also, these new technologies have been used to fill in many of the gaps in the human reference genome.

In this report, we compare and evaluate several genome assembly software based on TSG technology. The experimentation has been performed on 4 reference genomes and the results evaluated with the QUAST software. The 11 software that have been evaluated are: Celera Assembler , Falcon , Miniasm, Newbler , SGA Assembler, Smartdenovo, Abruijn, Ra, DBG2OLC, Spades and Cerulean. The first 8 software use only long reads, while the 3 last software can merge long and short reads

GMASS: a novel measure for genomeassembly structural similarity

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 20:35:40 -0500

The GMASS score is a novel measure for representing structural similarity between two assemblies. It will contribute to the understanding of assembly output and developing de novo assemblers.

Genome assembly training tutorial at Galaxy !

Jit — Sun, 27 Dec 2020 05:25:45 -0600

In this tutorial we assemble and annotate the genome of E. coli strain C-1. This strain is routinely used in experimental evolution studies involving bacteriophages. For instance, now classic works by Holly Wichman and Jim Bull (Bull 1997, Bull 1998, Wichman 1999) have been performed using this strain and bacteriophage phiX174.

IVA: accurate de novo assembly of RNA virus genomes

Neel — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:51:59 -0500

IVA (Iterative Virus Assembler) designed specifically for read pairs sequenced at highly variable depth from RNA virus samples. We tested IVA on datasets from 140 sequenced samples from human immunodeficiency virus-1 or influenza-virus-infected people and demonstrated that IVA outperforms all other virus de novo assemblers.

Availability and implementation: The software runs under Linux, has the GPLv3 licence and is freely available from http://sanger-pathogens.github.io/iva
