Many-to-many pairwise alignments of two sequence sets

Poonam Mahapatra — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 08:34:15 -0500

needleall reads a set of input sequences and compares them all to one or more sequences, writing their optimal global sequence alignments to file. It uses the Needleman-Wunsch alignment algorithm to find the optimum alignment (including gaps) of two sequences along their entire length. The algorithm uses a dynamic programming method to ensure the alignment is optimum, by exploring all possible alignments and choosing the best. A scoring matrix is read that contains values for every possible residue or nucleotide match. Needleall finds the alignment with the maximum possible score where the score of an alignment is equal to the sum of the matches taken from the scoring matrix, minus penalties arising from opening and extending gaps in the aligned sequences. The substitution matrix and gap opening and extension penalties are user-specified.

Wtdbg2: a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore

Neel — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:48:43 -0500

Wtdbg2 is a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). It assembles raw reads without error correction and then builds the consensus from intermediate assembly output. Wtdbg2 is able to assemble the human and even the 32Gb Axolotl genome at a speed tens of times faster than CANU and FALCONwhile producing contigs of comparable base accuracy.

iRNAD: a computational tool for identifying D modification sites in RNA sequence

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 16 May 2019 00:20:07 -0500

iRNAD, for identifying D modification sites in RNA sequence. In this predictor, the RNA samples derived from five species were encoded by nucleotide chemical property and nucleotide density. Support vector machine was utilized to perform the classification.

RePS: Repeat-masked Phrap with scaffolding, a WGS sequence assembler

Jit — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 01:08:09 -0600

RePS (Repeat-masked Phrap with scaffolding), a WGS sequence assembler, that explicitly identifies exact kmer repeats from the shotgun data and removes them prior to the assembly. The established software Phrap is used to compute meaningful error probabilities for each base. Clone-end-pairing information is used to construct scaffolds that order and orient the contigs. The updated version of RePS incorporates some of the ideas introduced by Phusion on clustering

CLARK: Fast, accurate and versatile sequence classification system

Jit — Sat, 15 Feb 2020 01:49:01 -0600

CLARK, a method based on a supervised sequence classification using discriminative k-mers. Considering two distinct specific classification problems (see the article for details), namely (1) the taxonomic classification of metagenomic reads to known bacterial genomes, and (2) the assignment of BAC clones and transcript to chromosome arms/centromeres (in the absence of a finished assembly for the reference genome), CLARK outperforms in classification speed and precision the best state-of-the-art methods.

flexidot: Highly customizable, ambiguity-aware dotplots for visual sequence analyses

Jit — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 08:39:28 -0500

FlexiDot is a cross-platform dotplot suite generating high quality self, pairwise and all-against-all visualizations. To improve dotplot suitability for comparison of consensus and error-prone sequences, FlexiDot harbors routines for strict and relaxed handling of mismatches and ambiguous residues. The custom shading modules facilitate dotplot interpretation and motif identification by adding information on sequence annotations and sequence similarities to the images. Combined with collage-like outputs, FlexiDot supports simultaneous visual screening of a large sequence sets, allowing dotplot use for routine screening.

LoReTTA, a user-friendly tool for assembling viral genomes from PacBio sequence data

Neel — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:54:53 -0500

LoReTTA (Long Read Template-Targeted Assembler), a tool designed for performing de novo assembly of long reads generated from viral genomes on the PacBio platform. LoReTTA exploits a reference genome to guide the assembly process, an approach that has been successful with short reads.

ContigExtender: a new approach to improving de novo sequence assembly for viral metagenomics data

LEGE — Wed, 08 May 2024 07:32:45 -0500

ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate contigs. ContigExtender is effective for extending contigs significantly in in silico synthesized and real metagenomics datasets.

Sandelin group

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:12:58 -0500

Sandelin group have a deep interest in most biology, but focus on gene regulation and the many areas that are connected with this, including transcriptomics, epigenetics and technological and informatics aspects.

The group is both computational and experimental.

We ask biological questions to large datasets made using novel genomics techniques, with the help of computers. One of the strengths in the group are the many connections to high-profile experimental laboratories which supply data to be analyzed.
