List of visualization tools for genome alignments

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 13:25:33 -0600

Genome browsers are useful not only for showing final results but also for improving analysis protocols, testing data quality, and generating result drafts. Its integration in analysis pipelines allows the optimization of parameters, which leads to better results. But sometime, we need publication ready figure of genomes. Following are the list of genome alignment visualization tools, which could be useful for analysis and interpretation of results:

CrossMap: a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates

Jit — Thu, 31 May 2018 06:00:47 -0500

CrossMap is a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates (or annotation files) between different assemblies (such as Human hg18 (NCBI36) <> hg19 (GRCh37), Mouse mm9 (MGSCv37) <> mm10 (GRCm38)). It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWig, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF. CrossMap is designed to liftover genome coordinates between assemblies. It’s not a program for aligning sequences to reference genome. We do not recommend using CrossMap to convert genome coordinates between species.

Merqury: reference-free quality and phasing assessment for genome assemblies

Jit — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 05:38:34 -0500

Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality reference. Merqury provides a set of tools for this purpose.

Phytozome v12.1: plant science community hub for accessing palnts genomic data

Surabhi Chaudhary — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 07:30:17 -0500

Phytozome, the Plant Comparative Genomics portal of the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute, provides JGI users and the broader plant science community a hub for accessing, visualizing and analyzing JGI-sequenced plant genomes, as well as selected genomes and datasets that have been sequenced elsewhere. As of release v12.1.6, Phytozome hosts 93 assembled and annotated genomes, from 82 Viridiplantae species. More than half of these genomes have been sequenced, assembled and/or annotated with JGI Plant Science program resources. By integrating this large collection of plant genomes into a single resource and performing comprehensive and uniform annotation and analyses, Phytozome facilitates accurate and insightful comparative genomics studies.
