CSA: A high-throughput chromosome-scale assembly pipeline for vertebrate genomes

Jit — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 06:13:49 -0600

The pipeline can use information from scaffolded assemblies (for example from HiC or 10X Genomics), or even from diverged (~65-100 Mya) reference genomes for ordering the contigs and thus support the assembly process. This typically results in improved contig N50 when compared to current state of the art methods.

For smaller vertebrate genomes (~1 Gbp) chromosome scale assemblies can be achieved within 12h on high-end Desktop computers (Intel i7, 12 CPU threads, 128 GB RAM). Larger mammalian genomes (~3Gbp) can be processed within 15-18 h on server equipment (Xeon, 96 CPU threads, 1TB RAM).

Interview with a bioinformatician series ...

Jitendra Narayan — Sat, 27 Dec 2014 13:30:15 -0600

The aim of this series to interviews some notable bioinformaticians to get their views on various aspects of bioinformatics research. Hopefully these answers will prove useful to others in the field, especially to those who are just starting their bioinformatics careers.

This series will be available at BOL every fortnight.

Strudel

Anjana — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:47:02 -0500

Strudel is our graphical tool for visualizing genetic and physical maps of genomes for comparative purposes. The application aims to let the user examine their data at a variety of different levels of resolution, from entire maps to individual markers, and explore syntenic relationships between genomes. All browsing and interaction with Strudel happens in real-time – there is no need to wait while the maps are generated. It is built using Java 1.6 and ships with its own JRE, so there is no need for users to install or update Java.

GenomeComp

Jit — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:38:32 -0600

GenomeComp is a tool for summarizing, parsing and visualizing the genome wide sequence comparison results derived from voluminous BLAST textual output, so as to locate the rearrangements, insertions or deletions of genome segments between species or strains.

It can be easily used to compare, parsing and visualize large genomic sequences, especially closely related genomes such as inter-species or inter-strains. In addition, it can also show other sequence features like repeat sequence distributions in one whole-genome DNA sequence by comparing the genome to itself.

It is a stand-alone graphical user interface (GUI) program which runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X (tested on version 10.2.4 only) and Microsoft Windows platforms and is written in Perl/Tk.

bedtools

Jit — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 04:50:44 -0600

Collectively, the bedtools utilities are a swiss-army knife of tools for a wide-range of genomics analysis tasks. The most widely-used tools enable genome arithmetic: that is, set theory on the genome. For example, bedtools allows one tointersect, merge, count, complement, and shuffle genomic intervals from multiple files in widely-used genomic file formats such as BAM, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. While each individual tool is designed to do a relatively simple task (e.g., intersect two interval files), quite sophisticated analyses can be conducted by combining multiple bedtools operations on the UNIX command line.

bedtools is developed in the Quinlan laboratory at the University of Utah and benefits from fantastic contributions made by scientists worldwide.
