Circleator

Jit — Sun, 25 Jun 2017 18:04:32 -0500

The Charm City Circleator--or Circleator for short--is a Perl-based visualization tool developed at the Institute for Genome Sciences in the University of Maryland's School of Medicine. Circleator produces circular plots of genome-associated data, like this one:

Common uses of the tool include:

Displaying the sequence and/or genes in a GenBank flat file.
Highlighting differences and/or similarities in gene content between related organisms.
Comparing SNPs and indels between closely-related strains or serovars.
Comparing gene expression values across multiple samples or timepoints.
Visualizing coverage plots of RNA-Seq read alignments.

Key Features

Circleator...

Builds on BioPerl and the input file formats that it supports, including:
- GenBank flat files, GFF, FASTA
Accepts a number of other commonly-used datatypes and file formats:
- BSR and TRF output, SAM/BAM files, VCF-encoded SNPs, tab-delimited files
Outputs publication-ready figures in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.
Requires only a single configuration file whose layout mirrors that of the figure itself.
- Predefined configuration files and "track" types are supplied for common datasets.
- Advanced features allow limited analyses to be performed as a figure is drawn.
Includes an extensive set of regression tests.
Offers a prototype web-based GUI (under the "Ringmaster" project.)

AliTV—interactive visualization of whole genome comparisons

Jit — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 07:08:17 -0600

AliTV, which provides interactive visualization of whole genome alignments. AliTV reads multiple whole genome alignments or automatically generates alignments from the provided data. Optional feature annotations and phylo- genetic information are supported. The user-friendly, web-browser based and highly customizable interface allows rapid exploration and manipulation of the visualized data as well as the export of publication-ready high-quality figures. AliTV is freely available at https://github.com/AliTVTeam/AliTV

chromoMap-An R package for Interactive visualization and mapping of human chromosomes

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 17:22:24 -0500

chromoMap is an R package that provides interactive, configurable and elegant graphics visualization of the human chromosomes allowing users to map chromosome elements (like genes, SNPs etc.) on the chromosome plot. It introduces a special plot viz. the "chromosome heatmap" that, in addition to mapping elements, can visualize the data associated with chromosome elements (like gene expression) in the form of heat colors which can be highly advantageous in the scientific interpretations and research work. Because of the enormous size of the chromosomes, it is impractical to visualize each element on the same plot. But chromoMap plots provide a magnified view for each of chromosome location to render additional information and visualization specific for that location. You can map thousands of genes and can view all mappings easily. Users can investigate the detailed information about the mappings (like gene names or total genes mapped on a location) or can view the magnified single or double stranded view of the chromosome at a location showing each mapped element in sequential order (You will see in the demos below). Not ony that, the plots can be saved as HTML documents that can be customized and shared easily. In addition, you can include them in R Markdown or in R Shiny applications.

Bokeh: An interactive visualization library that targets modern web browsers for presentation

Jit — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 18:43:08 -0500

Bokeh is an interactive visualization library that targets modern web browsers for presentation. Its goal is to provide elegant, concise construction of versatile graphics, and to extend this capability with high-performance interactivity over very large or streaming datasets. Bokeh can help anyone who would like to quickly and easily create interactive plots, dashboards, and data applications.

To get started using Bokeh to make your visualizations, see the User Guide.

To see examples of how you might use Bokeh with your own data, check out the Gallery.

A complete API reference of Bokeh is at Reference Guide.

If you are interested in contributing to Bokeh, or extending the library, see the Developer Guide.

GfaViz: flexible and interactive visualization of GFA sequence graphs

Jit — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 07:33:46 -0600

GFA (Graphical Fragment Assembly) is an emerging standard format for representing sequence graphs. Although it was originally conceived as a format for sequence assembly (hence the name), and this remains its core application, it is more general, and able to represent many different types of sequence graphs, including scaffolding graphs, alignment graphs, variant graphs and splicing graphs.

SATSUMA : Highly sensitive whole-genome synteny alignments.

Jit — Fri, 13 May 2016 05:25:26 -0500

Satsuma is a whole-genome synteny alignment program. It takes two genomes, computes alignments, and then keeps only the parts that are orthologous, i.e. following the conserved order and orientation of features, such as protein coding genes, non-coding genes, or neutral sequences. Satsuma does not require any pre-processing, such as repeat masking, since it will automatically detect ambiguous mappings.

Satsuma has parallelization built-in and is designed to run on multi-core architectures. The run-time for aligning two bird-size genomes (~1.2 Gb) is around two days on 24 CPUs.

You can find the manual here.
Download the latest source code from here.
Stable versions can also be downloaded from the Broad Institute's web site.

An incomplete list of questions and answers (yes, these have really been asked by our users! Please feel free to add your own by e-mailing us) is here.

YAHA

Jit — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 05:38:05 -0600

YAHA, a fast and flexible hash-based aligner. YAHA is as fast and accurate as BWA-SW at finding the single best alignment per query and is dramatically faster and more sensitive than both SSAHA2 and MegaBLAST at finding all possible alignments. Unlike other aligners that report all, or one, alignment per query, or that use simple heuristics to select alignments, YAHA uses a directed acyclic graph to find the optimal set of alignments that cover a query using a biologically relevant breakpoint penalty. YAHA can also report multiple mappings per defined segment of the query. We show that YAHA detects more breakpoints in less time than BWA-SW across all SV classes, and especially excels at complex SVs comprising multiple breakpoints.

Availability: YAHA is currently supported on 64-bit Linux systems. Binaries and sample data are freely available for download from http://faculty.virginia.edu/irahall/YAHA.

GenomeComp

Jit — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:38:32 -0600

GenomeComp is a tool for summarizing, parsing and visualizing the genome wide sequence comparison results derived from voluminous BLAST textual output, so as to locate the rearrangements, insertions or deletions of genome segments between species or strains.

It can be easily used to compare, parsing and visualize large genomic sequences, especially closely related genomes such as inter-species or inter-strains. In addition, it can also show other sequence features like repeat sequence distributions in one whole-genome DNA sequence by comparing the genome to itself.

It is a stand-alone graphical user interface (GUI) program which runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X (tested on version 10.2.4 only) and Microsoft Windows platforms and is written in Perl/Tk.
