kebabs: package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:14:11 -0600

The kebabs package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods. Biological sequences include DNA, RNA, and amino acid (AA) sequences. Sequence kernels define similarity measures between sequences. The package implements some of the most important kernels for sequence analysis in a very flexible and efficient way and extends the standard position-independent functionality of these kernels in a novel way to take the position of patterns in the sequences into account for the similarity measure.

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library to interactive display biological data on the web

Jit — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:03:51 -0600

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library which provides an easy way to interactive display biological data on the web. It implements a raster-based SVG visualization using the open source Javascript framework jquery.js. BioCircos.js is multiplatform and works in all major internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera). Its speed is determined by the client’s hardware and internet browser. For smoothest user experience, we recommend Google Chrome.

BioCircos.js provides SNP, CNV, HEATMAP, LINK, LINE, SCATTER, ARC, TEXT, and HISTGRAMmodules to display genome-wide genetic variations (SNPs, CNVs and chromosome rearrangement), gene expression and biomolecule interactions. BioCircos.js also provides BACKGROUND module to display background and axis circles. Tooltips showing detailed information of SVG elements are also provided.

Supernova: generates phased, whole-genome de novo assemblies from a Chromium-prepared library.

Jit — Sun, 31 May 2020 01:59:30 -0500

Supernova generates phased, whole-genome de novo assemblies from a Chromium-prepared library.

Please see Achieving Success with De Novo Assembly and System Requirements before creating your Chromium libraries for assembly.

Supernova should be run using 38-56x coverage of the genome.
• Somewhat higher coverage is sometimes advantageous.
• Supernova will exit if it finds that coverage is far from the recommended range.
• Note that at most 2.14 billion reads are allowed.
• Please note that we have not extensively tested genomes larger than human, and any genome above approximately 4 GB should be considered experimental and is not supported.

Nucl2Vec: Local alignment of DNA sequences using Distributed Vector Representation

Jit — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 05:45:44 -0500

We demonstrate a novel approach forlocal alignment of DNA reads with respect to reference genome.For this process we have used Skip-gram model for creatingencoding(Nucl2Vec) and k-nearest neighbor for the alignment.With our new approach we have reduced computation cost forlocal alignment , while achieving accuracy comparable to existingdefacto standard BWA-MEM tool.

DendroPy: a Python library for phylogenetic computing

Seema Singh — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 05:49:50 -0500

DendroPy is a Python library for phylogenetic computing. It provides classes and functions for the simulation, processing, and manipulation of phylogenetic trees and character matrices, and supports the reading and writing of phylogenetic data in a range of formats, such as NEXUS, NEWICK, NeXML, Phylip, FASTA, etc. Application scripts for performing some useful phylogenetic operations, such as data conversion and tree posterior distribution summarization, are also distributed and installed as part of the libary. DendroPy can thus function as a stand-alone library for phylogenetics, a component of more complex multi-library phyloinformatic pipelines, or as a scripting “glue” that assembles and drives such pipelines.

The primary home page for DendroPy, with detailed tutorials and documentation, is at:

http://dendropy.org/

DendroPy is also hosted in the official Python repository:

http://packages.python.org/DendroPy/

Requirements and Installation

DendroPy 4.x runs under Python 3 (all versions > 3.1) and Python 2 (Python 2.7 only).

You can install DendroPy by running:

More information is available here:
