Revisions

    1.0: May 30, 2013: First public release on biobits.org.
    1.1: July 24, 2013: Updated with Disqus Comments / Feedback section.
    1.2: December 19, 2014: Multiple updates, including:
        Updated to use samtools 1.1 and bcftools 1.2.
        Updated usage for bcftools.

About

SAMtools is a popular open-source tool used in next-generation sequence analysis. This primer provides an introduction to SAMtools, and is geared towards those new to next-generation sequence analysis. The primer is also designed to be self-contained and hands-on, meaning that you only need to install SAMtools, and no other tools, and sample data sets are provided. Terms in bold are also explained in the glossary at the end of the document.

poRe: an R package for the visualization and analysis of nanopore sequencing data

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 09:55:57 -0600

Motivation: The Oxford Nanopore MinION device represents a unique sequencing technology. As a mobile sequencing device powered by the USB port of a laptop, the MinION has huge potential applications. To enable these applications, the bioinformatics community will need to design and build a suite of tools specifically for MinION data.

Results: Here we present poRe, a package for R that enables users to manipulate, organize, summarize and visualize MinION nanopore sequencing data. As a package for R, poRe has been tested on Windows, Linux and MacOSX. Crucially, the Windows version allows users to analyse MinION data on the Windows laptop attached to the device.

Availability and implementation: poRe is released as a package for R at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/ . A tutorial and further information are available at https://sourceforge.net/p/rpore/wiki/Home/

Kraken: ultrafast metagenomic sequence classification using exact alignments

Jit — Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:01:44 -0500

Kraken is an ultrafast and highly accurate program for assigning taxonomic labels to metagenomic DNA sequences. Previous programs designed for this task have been relatively slow and computationally expensive, forcing researchers to use faster abundance estimation programs, which only classify small subsets of metagenomic data. Using exact alignment of k-mers, Kraken achieves classification accuracy comparable to the fastest BLAST program. In its fastest mode, Kraken classifies 100 base pair reads at a rate of over 4.1 million reads per minute, 909 times faster than Megablast and 11 times faster than the abundance estimation program MetaPhlAn. Kraken is available at http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/kraken/.

PGAP-X: Extension on pan-genome analysis pipeline

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:41:43 -0600

PGAP-X is a microbial comparative genomic analysis platform with graphic interface. Serials of algorithms and methodologies have been developed and integrated to analyze and visualize genomics structure variation, gene distribution with different conservative levels, and genetic variation from pan-genome sight. At the same time, analytical result data from many other programs, including genome alignment result and orthologs clusters, are also supported to be further analyzed or visualized in PGAP-X. The workflow and feature snapshot in PGAP-X were shown as Fig.1 and Fig.2.
