Gene Finding and Predictions

Poonam Mahapatra — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 07:26:27 -0500

In this exercise, a previously annotated gene will be used to measure the accuracy of different gene finding approaches. GRAIL, GENSCAN, geneid, FGENESH, GenomeScan, GrailEXP and GENEWISE will be used to annotate the sequence. Both search by signal, content and homology (protein and cDNA sequences) methods will be employed in order to improve the ab initio results. Weak conservation of Start codons will lead to wrong prediction of initial exons in most cases.

assemblytics: delta file to analyze alignments of an assembly to another assembly or a reference genome

Jit — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 07:31:00 -0500

Download and install MUMmer Align your assembly to a reference genome using nucmer (from MUMmer package) $ nucmer -maxmatch -l 100 -c 500 REFERENCE.fa ASSEMBLY.fa -prefix OUT Consult the MUMmer manual if you encounter problems Optional: Gzip the delta file to speed up upload (usually 2-4X faster) $ gzip OUT.delta Then use the OUT.delta.gz file for upload. Upload the .delta or delta.gz file (view example) to Assemblytics Important: Use only contigs rather than scaffolds from the assembly. This will prevent false positives when the number of Ns in the scaffolded sequence does not match perfectly to the distance in the reference. The unique sequence length required represents an anchor for determining if a sequence is unique enough to safely call variants from, which is an alternative to the mapping quality filter for read alignment. http://assemblytics.com/

transrate: Understanding your transcriptome assembly

Neel — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 07:49:26 -0500

Transrate is software for de-novo transcriptome assembly quality analysis. It examines your assembly in detail and compares it to experimental evidence such as the sequencing reads, reporting quality scores for contigs and assemblies. This allows you to choose between assemblers and parameters, filter out the bad contigs from an assembly, and help decide when to stop trying to improve the assembly.

CIRCOS Visualize !!

Jit — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 08:29:26 -0500

Before uploading a data file, check the samples gallery to make sure that your data format is compatible.

Your file must be plain text.
Your data values must be non-negative integers.
Data must be space-separated (one or more tab or space, which will be collapsed).
No two rows or columns may have the same name.
Column and row names must begin with a letter (e.g. 'A', 'A0', 'A-0') and can only contain letters, numbers and _. No punctuation!
Maximum row + column total is 150 — if exceeded, rows and columns are limited to 75.
If you are using order, size and color rows/columns in combination they must appear in that order.

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.

CGView - Circular Genome Viewer

Jit — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 07:52:26 -0500

GView is a Java package used to display and navigate bacterial genomes. GView is useful for producing high-quality genome maps for use in publications and websites, or as a visualization tool in a sequence annotation pipeline. Users can interact with the genome using a powerful pan-and-zoom interface, or GView can write static images of a genome to a file. GView can draw a genome using either circular or linear layouts. For examples of some of the images GView can produce, see the Image Gallery. GView is a re-write of CGView, a circular genome viewer written by Paul Stothard. The goal of GView is to provide greater user interaction, and more flexibility in how the genome map is rendered. To aid with easily configuring the display of a genome, a style editor has been included to provide an intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface for customizing genome maps. Styling attributes such as colours or fonts for the various map elements can be adjusted in real time. Customized styles can be saved for later use or for application to other genome maps using GView's custom file format.

ALLHiC: Phasing and scaffolding polyploid genomes based on Hi-C data

BioStar — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 12:03:32 -0600

The major problem of scaffolding polyploid genome is that Hi-C signals are frequently detected between allelic haplotypes and any existing stat of art Hi-C scaffolding program links the allelic haplotypes together. To solve the problem, we developed a new Hi-C scaffolding pipeline, called ALLHIC, specifically tailored to the polyploid genomes. ALLHIC pipeline contains a total of 5 steps: prune, partition, rescue, optimize and build.
