The complete sequence of a human genome

Neel — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 23:58:18 -0500

The completed regions include all centromeric satellite arrays, recent segmental duplications, and the short arms of all five acrocentric chromosomes, unlocking these complex regions of the genome to variational and functional studies.

MOSS: A System for Detecting Software Similarity

Jit — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 08:59:07 -0600

Moss (for a Measure Of Software Similarity) is an automatic system for determining the similarity of programs. To date, the main application of Moss has been in detecting plagiarism in programming classes. Since its development in 1994, Moss has been very effective in this role. The algorithm behind moss is a significant improvement over other cheating detection algorithms (at least, over those known to us).

Moss can currently analyze code written in the following languages:

C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Visual Basic, Javascript, FORTRAN, ML, Haskell, Lisp, Scheme, Pascal, Modula2, Ada, Perl, TCL, Matlab, VHDL, Verilog, Spice, MIPS assembly, a8086 assembly, a8086 assembly, MIPS assembly, HCL2.

CrowdGO: Machine learning and semantic similarity guided consensus Gene Ontology annotation

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 26 May 2022 00:59:49 -0500

CrowdGO is a protein Gene Ontology predictor using a meta approach, analyzing the predictions of other tools in order to get an improved precision and recall.

Please note that the CrowdGO snakemake workflow is currently only tested on Ubuntu. It should work on OSX, but please report any errors to maarten.reijnders@unil.ch or create an issue.

SIMBA: a web tool for managing bacterial genome assembly generated by Ion PGM sequencing technology

Abhimanyu Singh — Tue, 23 May 2017 05:28:56 -0500

SIMBA, SImple Manager for Bacterial Assemblies, is a Web interface for managing assembly projects of bacterial genomes. SIMBA was created to assist bioinformaticians to assemble bacterial genomes sequenced with NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS) platforms quickly, easily and effectively. SIMBA also is open source tool, i.e., can be freely downloaded, shared and modified.

PhyloGrapher - Graph Visualization Tool

Jit — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 18:11:25 -0600

PhyloGrapher is a program designed to visualize and study evolutionary relationships within families of homologous genes or proteins (elements). PhyloGrapher is a drawing tool that generates custom graphs for a given set of elements. In general, it is possible to use PhyloGrapher to visualize any type of relations between elements.

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.

Panacus : A Counting Tool for Pangenome Graphs

Neel — Fri, 14 Jun 2024 14:42:28 -0500

panacus is a tool for calculating statistics for GFA files. It supports GFA files with P and W lines, but requires that the graph is blunt, i.e., nodes do not overlap and consequently, each link (L) points from the end of one segment (S) to the start of another.

panacus supports the following calculations:

coverage histogram
pangenome growth statistics
path-/group-resolved coverage table
