Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) tutorial

Neel — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 15:16:23 -0500

The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) from the Broad Center allows you to view several types of data files involved in any NGS analysis that employs a reference genome, including how reads from a dataset are mapped, gene annotations, and predicted genetic variants.

Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide

Jit — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 04:50:51 -0600

This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, yet progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and as a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.

This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.

BioToolbox

Jit — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:14:44 -0600

This is a collection of libraries and high-quality end-user scripts for bioinformatic analysis, including working with gene annotation, collecting data scores from a variety of modern file formats, and conversion between file formats. The Bio::ToolBox libraries provide a unified, abstracted interface to multiple common gene annotation formats and the collection of data from multiple data files. They rely on BioPerl SeqFeature libraries and related adaptors to access binary file formats including Bam, BigWig, BigBed, and USeq. The Bio::ToolBox package includes scripts for setting up databases of annotation, collecting annotated features, collecting genomic data relative to features, manipulating and analyzing data, and data format conversion.

Linux command line exercises for NGS data processing

Jit — Wed, 22 Jun 2016 07:59:39 -0500

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce students to the frequently used tools for NGS analysis as well as giving experience in writing one-liners. Copy the required files to your current directory, change directory (cd) to the linuxTutorial folder, and do all the processing inside:

[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$ cp -r /home/opt/MScBioinformatics/linuxTutorial .
[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/]$ cd linuxTutorial
[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$

I have deliberately chosen Awk in the exercises as it is a language in itself and is used more often to manipulate NGS data as compared to the other command line tools such as grep, sed, perl etc. Furthermore, having a command on awk will make it easier to understand advanced tutorials such as Illumina Amplicons Processing Workflow.

In Linux, we use a shell that is a program that takes your commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system. Most Linux systems utilize Bourne Again SHell (bash), but there are several additional shell programs on a typical Linux system such as ksh, tcsh, and zsh. To see which shell you are using, type

[uzi@quince-srv2 ~/linuxTutorial]$ echo $SHELL

/bin/bash

NGS Tutorial

Jit — Mon, 05 Sep 2016 09:50:46 -0500

These tutorials are written for hundreds of bioinformaticians trying to cope with large volume of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. NGS technologies brought a dramatic shift in the world of sequencing. Merely five years back, genome sequencing of higher eukaryotes used to be very expensive endeavor. To get a genome of interest sequenced, hundreds of scientists had to raise funds together by writing a joint white-paper and petitioning to various government agencies. The tasks of sequencing and assembly were handled by dedicated sequencing facilities, of which only a few existed around the globe. Naturally, the capacities at those sequencing facilities were significantly constrained from high volume of requests

Mapping NGS

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 02 May 2017 07:58:07 -0500

NGS data are just a bunch of sequences, you have no idea which region in the genome each sequences comes from, which gene it represents...
To know that you have to align the sequences to the reference sequence. The reference sequence is in most cases the full genome sequence but sometimes, a library of EST sequences is used.
In either way, aligning your sequence reads to the reference sequence is called mapping.

The most used mappers of DNA-seq data are BWA and Bowtie for DNA-Seq data and Tophat, STAR or HISAT for RNA-Seq data. Mappers differ in which options they can take in, how fast and how accurate they are. Bowtie is faster than BWA, but looses some sensitivity (does not map an equal amount of reads to the correct position in the genome).
