HALC: High throughput algorithm for long read error correction

Jit — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 10:47:41 -0500

HALC, a high throughput algorithm for long read error correction. HALC aligns the long reads to short read contigs from the same species with a relatively low identity requirement so that a long read region can be aligned to at least one contig region, including its true genome region’s repeats in the contigs sufficiently similar to it (similar repeat based alignment approach) HALC was able to obtain 6.7-41.1% higher throughput than the existing algorithms while maintaining comparable accuracy. The HALC corrected long reads can thus result in 11.4-60.7% longer assembled contigs than the existing algorithms.

Deepbinner: a signal-level demultiplexer for Oxford Nanopore reads

Neel — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 03:38:49 -0600

Deepbinner is a tool for demultiplexing barcoded Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads. It does this with a deep convolutional neural network classifier, using many of the architectural advances that have proven successful in image classification. Unlike other demultiplexers (e.g. Albacore and Porechop), Deepbinner identifies barcodes from the raw signal (a.k.a. squiggle) which gives it greater sensitivity and fewer unclassified reads.

Reasons to use Deepbinner:
- To minimise the number of unclassified reads (use Deepbinner by itself).
- To minimise the number of misclassified reads (use Deepbinner in conjunction with Albacore demultiplexing).
- You plan on running signal-level downstream analyses, like Nanopolish. Deepbinner can demultiplex the fast5 fileswhich makes this easier.
Reasons to not use Deepbinner:
- You only have basecalled reads not the raw fast5 files (which Deepbinner requires).
- You have a small/slow computer. Deepbinner is more computationally intensive than Porechop.
- You used a sequencing/barcoding kit other than the ones Deepbinner was trained on.

rHAT: a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 05:12:22 -0500

rHAT is a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool. It is suitable for aligning 3rd generation sequencing reads which are in large read length with relatively high error rate, especially Pacbio's Single Molecule Read-time (SMRT) sequencing reads.
