Smash: An alignment-free method to find and visualise rearrangements between pairs of DNA sequences

Jit — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 12:18:49 -0500

Smash is a completely alignment-free method/tool to find and visualise genomic rearrangements. The detection is based on conditional exclusive compression, namely using a FCM (Markov model), of high context order (typically 20). For visualisation, Smash outputs a SVG image, with an ideogramoutput architecture, where the patterns are represented with several HSV values (only value varies). The method can perform both in small- and large-scale. Nevertheless is more directed to large-scale since that the main aim of the research is to know where the large-scale [chromosomal by chromosome] of several primates was equal/different, having at a glance a map of the entire genomes.

iTOL: interactive Tree Of Life

Jit — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 05:56:30 -0600

Interactive Tree Of Life is an online tool for the display and manipulation of phylogenetic trees. It provides most of the features available in other tree viewers, and offers a novel circular tree layout, which makes it easy to visualize mid-sized tree (up to several thousand leaves). Trees can be exported to several graphical formats, both bitmap and vector based.

There are several pre-computed trees available for display, including the main Tree Of Life, described in Ciccarelli, et al., 2006. In addition to the precomputed trees, users can upload and display personal trees and data, using the 'Data upload' page or through a personal user account.

GMOL: An Interactive Tool for 3D Genome Structure Visualization

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 12:25:20 -0500

GMOL was developed based upon our multi-scale approach that allows a user to scale between six separate levels within the genome. With GMOL, a user can choose any unit at any scale and scale it up or down to visualize its structure and retrieve corresponding genome sequences.

D-GENIES: A tool for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way

Jit — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 09:41:22 -0500

D-GENIES – for Dotplot large Genomes in an Interactive, Efficient and Simple way – is an online tool designed to compare two genomes. It supports large genome and you can interact with the dot plot to improve the visualisation. We use minimap version 2 to align the two genomes. Then, the PAF file is parsed and plotted into an interactive plot written with d3.js library. D-Genies also allows to display dot plots from other aligners by uploading their PAF or MAF alignment file. http://dgenies.toulouse.inra.fr/

SynVisio: An Interactive Multiscale Synteny Visualization Tool for McScanX.

Jit — Sun, 31 May 2020 02:01:14 -0500

SynVisio lets you explore the results of McScanX a popular synteny and collinearity detection toolkit and generate publication ready images.

SynVisio requires two files to run:

The simplified gff file that was used as an input for a McScanX query.
The collinearity file generated as an output by McScanX for the same input query.
Optional track file in bedgraph format to annotate the generated charts.

SynVisio offers different types of visualizations such as Linear Parallel plots, Hive plots, Stacked Parallel Plots and Dot plots. Users can configure the type of plots required and then choose the source and the target chromosomes that need to be mapped. Users also have option to download the generated visualizations in publication ready SVG or PNG formats.

Mulan: MUltiple sequence Local AligNment and conservation visualization tool

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:02:32 -0500

Mulan performs multiple (2 or more) sequence alignments with an efficient and rapid "full local" alignment strategy that ensures a recapitulation of evolutionary sequence rearrangements (such as inversions and reshuffling) in any of the species. It combines refine and tba tools to align either "draft" or "finished" quality sequences. Mulan provides a dynamic graphical interface to align and visualize conservation profiles for evolutionarily distant and closely related species.

Input formats, automated data upload from the UCSC Genome Browser, gene annotation, annotation of repetitive elements, and progress report were previously described in the zPicture instructions and we refer the users to these materials for more details. This introduction is mainly focused on some novel features unique to the Mulan.

xmatchview: smith-waterman alignment visualization

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:00:58 -0600

xmatchview and xmatchview-conifer are imaging tools for comparing the synteny between DNA sequences. It allows users to align 2 DNA sequences in fasta format using cross_match and displays the alignment in a variety of image formats. xmatchview and xmatchview-conifer are written in python and run on linux and windows. They serve as visual tools for analyzing cross_match alignments. Cross_match (Green, P. (1994) http://www.phrap.org) uses an implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm for comparing DNA sequences that is sensitive.

G-compass: a comparative genome browser

Jit — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 10:00:27 -0500

G-compass (http://www.h-invitational.jp/g-compass/) is a comparative genome browser. It visualizes evolutionarily conserved genomic regions between human and other 12 vertebrates based on original genome alignments pursuing higher coverage (1,2). Annotations of human genes/transcripts and their ortholog information were derived from H-InvDB and its subdatabase Evola, respectively. G-compass is available for free of charge. [ Sample ]

Mulan: Multiple-sequence local alignment and visualization for studying function and evolution

Mulan (http://mulan.dcode.org/), a novel method and a network server for comparing multiple draft and finished-quality sequences to identify functional elements conserved over evolutionary time. Mulan brings together several novel algorithms: the TBA multi-aligner program for rapid identification of local sequence conservation, and the multiTF program for detecting evolutionarily conserved transcription factor binding sites in multiple alignments. In addition, Mulan supports two-way communication with the GALA database; alignments of multiple species dynamically generated in GALA can be viewed in Mulan, and conserved transcription factor binding sites identified with Mulan/multiTF can be integrated and overlaid with extensive genome annotation data using GALA.
