	<title><![CDATA[Gap filling or Contigs extensions tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>There are many tools to perform gap filling using Illumina short reads, for example "GapFiller: a de novo assembly approach to fill the gap within paired reads" or "Toward almost closed genomes with GapFiller". There are also some tools like GAPresolution that can help to perform local re-assemblies using 454 reads. We used GAPresolution but it is not a very good software, it is useful only in some specific situations.</p>

<p>Take a look at the PRICE software from the DeRisi lab. Its meant to do something very similar. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/index.php?page=software</p>

<p>You could also look at SSPACE (http://www.baseclear.com/landingpages/basetools-a-wide-range-of-bioinformatics-solutions/sspacev12/), ATLAS tools (http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/content/bcm-hgsc-software), and SCARPA (http://compbio.cs.toronto.edu/hapsembler/scarpa.html).</p>

<p>See the PAGIT protocol: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/pagit/ </p>

<p>In particular, take a look at the IMAGE tool: http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/4/R41 </p>

<p>Also SOAPdenovo has ha function for scaffolding. Not sure about ABYSS</p>

<p>Here there is a useful explanation of several tools.</p>

<p>https://bioinformaticsonline.com/search?q=scaffolding&amp;entity_type=object&amp;entity_subtype=bookmarks&amp;offset=0&amp;search_type=entities</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but the above answers to your hypothetical scenario appear to miss the point that you aren't interested in assembling the full genome, just the 100 kb part you're interested in. I suggest the following algorithm:</p>

<p>1. Start with the initial assembly C0 of the contigs you have identified as overlapping your region of interest, and the set S of reads those contigs contain. Let C = C0.</p>

<p>2. Repeat:<br />a. Identify paired-end reads (not in C) for which one or both ends align within, or extending, contigs in C.<br />b. Identify unpaired reads that align extending these new paired-end reads.<br />c. Construct a new assembly C' from C and the new reads identified in (a) and (b).<br />d. Trim C' so it does not extend more than 100 kb to either end of C0. Set C = C'.<br />e. Let S' denote the reads that contribute to C'. If S' does not contain any reads not present in S, stop. Otherwise, Set S = S'.</p>

<p>3. If you don't have a complete assembly of the region of interest, generate an STS for each end of each contig, probe a library for clones including these STSes, subclone these clones into a paired-end sequencing vector, and generate paired-end reads for this library; then try steps (1) and (2) again, adding these new sequencing reads to what you had before.</p>

<p>4. If your average sequencing depth for the region of interest exceeds 25 or so without filling all gaps, it is likely that the remaining gaps represent sequences that are not getting cloned in your sequencing vectors. Try different sequencing vectors.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Dahak is a software suite that integrates state-of-the-art open source tools for metagenomic analyses. Tools in the dahak software suite will perform various steps in metagenomic analysis workflows including data pre-processing, metagenome assembly, taxonomic and functional classification, genome binning, and gene assignment. We aim to deliver the analytical framework as a robust and reliable containerized workflow system, which will be free from dependency, installation, and execution problems typically associated with other open-source bioinformatics solutions. This will maximize the transparency, data provenance (i.e., the process of tracing the origins of data and its movement through the workflow), and reproducibility.</span></p>

The Genome 10K project aims to assemble a genomic zoo—a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus. The trajectory of cost reduction in DNA sequencing suggests that this project will be feasible within a few years. Capturing the genetic diversity of vertebrate species would create an unprecedented resource for the life sciences and for worldwide conservation efforts.

The growing Genome 10K Community of Scientists (G10KCOS), made up of leading scientists representing major zoos, museums, research centers, and universities around the world, is dedicated to coordinating efforts in tissue specimen collection that will lay the groundwork for a large-scale sequencing and analysis project.]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Ancient whole genome duplication (WGD) detection tools !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are two methods for ancient WGD detection, one is collinearity analysis, and the other is based on the Ks distribution map. Among them, Ks is defined as the average number of synonymous substitutions at each synonymous site, and there is also a Ka corresponding to it, which refers to the average number of non-synonymous substitutions at each non-synonymous site.</p><p>At present, some people have posted articles about the analysis process of WGD. I searched for the keyword "wgd pipeline" and found the following:</p><p><strong>GenoDup: https:// github.com/MaoYafei/GenoDup-Pipeline</strong><br /><strong>https://peerj.com/articles/6303/</strong><br /><strong>WGDdetector: https:// github.com/yongzhiyang2 012/WGDdetector</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-019-2670-3</strong><br /><strong>wgd: https:// github.com/arzwa/wgd</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2#Sec1</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>GeNoGAP https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-016-1142-2</strong><br /><strong>https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12915-017-0399-x</strong><br /><strong>https://github.com/dfguan/purge_dups</strong><br /><strong>https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.24.917997v1</strong></p><p>This article introduces the usage of wgd.</p><p>Wgd cannot be installed directly with bioconda at present, so it is a little troublesome to install, because it depends on a lot of software. wgd depends on the following software</p><p><strong>BLAST</strong><br /><strong>MCL</strong><br /><strong>MUSCLE/MAFFT/PRANK</strong><br /><strong>PAML</strong><br /><strong>PhyML/FastTree</strong><br /><strong>i-ADHoRe</strong></p><p>But the good news is that most of the software it depends on can be installed with bioconda</p><blockquote><p>conda create -n wgd python=3.5 blast mcl muscle mafft prank paml fasttree cmake libpng mpi=1.0=mpich<br />conda activate wgd</p></blockquote><p>Here mpi=1.0=mpich is selected, because i-adhore depends on mpich. If openmpi is installed, an error will appear while loading shared libraries: libmpi_cxx.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</p><p>After that, the installation is much simpler</p><blockquote><p>git clone https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />cd wgd<br />pip install .<br />pip install git+https://github.com/arzwa/wgd.git<br />For i-ADHoRe, you need to register at http:// bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be /webtools/i-adhore/licensing/Agree to the license to download i-ADHoRe-3.0</p></blockquote><p>Since my miniconda3 installed ~/opt/, the installation path is so~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/</p><blockquote><p>tar -zxvf i-adhore-3.0.01.tar.gz<br />cd i-adhore-3.0.01<br />mkdir -p build &amp;&amp; cd build<br />cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/opt/miniconda3/envs/wgd/<br />make -j 4 <br />make insatall</p></blockquote><p>Take the sugarcane genome Saccharum spontaneum L as an example.

It can help us find the collinearity block in the genome and the corresponding anchor point</p><blockquote><p>wgd syn --feature gene --gene_attribute ID \<br /> -ks wgd_ksd/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.ks.tsv \<br /> Sspon.v20190103.gff3 Sspon_cds.out/Sspon.v20190103.cds.fasta.blast.tsv.mcl</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;For more reading - There are 9 sub-modules in WGD</p><ul>
