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

FQC Dashboard: Integrates FastQC results into a web-based, interactive, and extensible FASTQ quality control tool

Shruti Paniwala — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:30:22 -0600

FQC is software that facilitates quality control of FASTQ files by carrying out a QC protocol using FastQC, parsing results, and aggregating quality metrics into an interactive dashboard designed to richly summarize individual sequencing runs. The dashboard groups samples in dropdowns for navigation among the data sets, utilizes human-readable configuration files to manipulate the pages and tabs, and is extensible with CSV data.

Synima: Synteny Imaging tool

Jit — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 17:03:48 -0600

Synteny Imaging tool (Synima) written in Perl, which uses the graphical features of R. Synima takes orthologues computed from reciprocal best BLAST hits or OrthoMCL, and DAGchainer, and outputs an overview of genome-wide synteny in PDF. Each of these programs are included with the Synima package, and a pipeline for their use. Synima has a range of graphical parameters including size, colours, order, and labels, which are specified in a config file generated by the first run of Synima – and can be subsequently edited. Synima runs quickly on a command line to generate informative and publication quality figures. Synima is open source and freely available from https://github.com/rhysf/Synima under the MIT License.

Multi-CAR: a tool of contig scaffolding using multiple references

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 16:39:41 -0600

we design a simple heuristic method to further revise our single reference-based scaffolding tool CAR into a new one called Multi-CAR such that it can utilize multiple complete genomes of related organisms as references to more accurately order and orient the contigs of a draft genome. In practical usage, our Multi-CAR does not require prior knowledge concerning phylogenetic relationships among the draft and reference genomes and libraries of paired-end reads. To validate Multi-CAR, we have tested it on a real dataset composed of several prokaryotic genomes and also compared its accuracy performance with other multiple reference-based scaffolding tools Ragout and MeDuSa.
