mmgenome: Tools for extracting individual genomes from metagneomes

Jit — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 17:41:17 -0500

The mmgenome toolbox enables reproducible extraction of individual genomes from metagenomes. It builds on the multi-metagenome concept, but wraps most of the process of extracting genomes in simple R functions. Thereby making the whole process of binning easy and at the same time reproducible through the Rmarkdown format.

The mmgenome R package also facilitates effortless integration with additional data sources and hence should not be seen as "yet another binning method", but rather a package to integrate different binning strategies.

All functions in the mmgenome R package has associated documentation, check it out in R by e.g. ?mmplot.

ALLHiC: Phasing and scaffolding polyploid genomes based on Hi-C data

BioStar — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 12:03:32 -0600

The major problem of scaffolding polyploid genome is that Hi-C signals are frequently detected between allelic haplotypes and any existing stat of art Hi-C scaffolding program links the allelic haplotypes together. To solve the problem, we developed a new Hi-C scaffolding pipeline, called ALLHIC, specifically tailored to the polyploid genomes. ALLHIC pipeline contains a total of 5 steps: prune, partition, rescue, optimize and build.

HaploTypo: a variant-calling pipeline for phased genomes

Jit — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 07:33:40 -0600

An increasing number of phased (i.e. with resolved haplotypes) reference genomes are available. However, most genetic variant calling tools do not explicitly account for haplotype structure. Here, we present HaploTypo, a pipeline tailored to resolve haplotypes in genetic variation analyses. HaploTypo infers the haplotype correspondence for each heterozygous variant called on a phased reference genome.

Availability and Implementation

HaploTypo is implemented in Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, and is freely available at https://github.com/gabaldonlab/haplotypo, and as a Docker image.

CSA: A high-throughput chromosome-scale assembly pipeline for vertebrate genomes

Jit — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 06:13:49 -0600

The pipeline can use information from scaffolded assemblies (for example from HiC or 10X Genomics), or even from diverged (~65-100 Mya) reference genomes for ordering the contigs and thus support the assembly process. This typically results in improved contig N50 when compared to current state of the art methods.

For smaller vertebrate genomes (~1 Gbp) chromosome scale assemblies can be achieved within 12h on high-end Desktop computers (Intel i7, 12 CPU threads, 128 GB RAM). Larger mammalian genomes (~3Gbp) can be processed within 15-18 h on server equipment (Xeon, 96 CPU threads, 1TB RAM).

Synorth: exploring the evolution of synteny and long-range regulatory interactions in vertebrate genomes

LEGE — Mon, 06 May 2024 06:21:10 -0500

Genomic regulatory blocks are chromosomal regions spanned by long clusters of highly conserved noncoding elements devoted to long-range regulation of developmental genes, often immobilizing other, unrelated genes into long-lasting syntenic arrangements. Synorth http://synorth.genereg.net/ is a web resource for exploring and categorizing the syntenic relationships in genomic regulatory blocks across multiple genomes, tracing their evolutionary fate after teleost whole genome duplication at the level of genomic regulatory block loci, individual genes, and their phylogenetic context.

Orthoflow: workflow for phylogenetic inference of genome-scale datasets of protein-coding genes

LEGE — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:13:08 -0600

Orthoflow is a workflow for phylogenetic inference of genome-scale datasets of protein-coding genes. Our goal was to make it straightforward to work from a combination of input sources including annotated contigs in Genbank format and FASTA files containing CDSs. It uses several state of the art inference methods for orthology inference, either based on HMM profiles or de novo inference of orthogroups. Through the use of OrthoSNAP, many additional ortholog alignments can be generated from multi-copy gene families. For phylogenetic inference, users can choose a supermatrix approach and/or gene tree inference followed by supertree reconstruction. Users can specify a range of alignment filtering settings to retain high-quality alignments for phylogenetic inference. The workflow produces a detailed report that, in addition to the phylogenetic results, includes a range of diagnostics to verify the quality of the results.

pbalign: maps PacBio reads to reference sequences and saves alignments to a BAM file

Jit — Thu, 24 May 2018 10:06:52 -0500

pbalign aligns PacBio reads to reference sequences, filters aligned reads according to user-specific filtering criteria, and converts the output to either the SAM format or PacBio Compare HDF5 (e.g., .cmp.h5) format. The output Compare HDF5 file will be compatible with Quiver if --forQuiver option is specified.
