Webinar on Streamlining large scale analysis using the Strand NGS Pipeline Manager on 24 Feb 2016

Yeshodari — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 06:43:28 -0600

Live Webinar on Streamlining large scale NGS data analysis using the Strand NGS Pipeline Manager on 24 Feb 2016

Abstract: Strand NGS includes comprehensive workflows for DNA-Seq, RNA-Seq, Small RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, MeDIP-Seq, and Methyl-Seq analysis. Each workflow includes a quality assessment and filter section, followed by a workflow-specific analysis section. The pipeline functionality in Strand NGS allows users to execute a sequence of analysis steps with specific parameters - all without any manual intervention. This simplifies the analysis in large scale sequencing projects where every sample needs to be processed identically.

In this webinar we will discuss the pre-packaged pipelines present in Strand NGS. The packaged pipelines have well-chosen default parameters and are suitable for users analyzing data for the first time in the tool. We will also show how advanced users can customize pipelines and share them with other Strand NGS users. Finally, we will show a brief glimpse of an elaborate pipeline that aligns reads, filters poor-quality matches, computes coverage metrics, identifies variants, checks for sample cross-contamination, and emails quality reports - all from within Strand NGS.

Speaker: Dr. Vamsi Veeramachaneni, Vice President - Bioinformatics, Strand Life Sciences

Details: Session 1: 2:30 PM IST, Session 2 : 10:30 PM IST

GenoViz: Visualization software for genomics

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 04:07:57 -0600

GenoViz provides software applications and re-usable components for data visualization and data sharing in genomics. Our flagship product is Integrated Genome Browser (IGB).

For more information about IGB, visit http://bioviz.org.

Source code for the project was hosted here for many years. In 2014, we moved to a new git repository at http://www.bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser. We are still using SourceForge to distribute new releases of IGB as compiled code (igb.zip) you can use to run IGB on your computer.

If you have questions, feel free to get in touch. Contact project head Ann Loraine (aloraine@uncc.edu) or lead developer David Norris (dcnorris@uncc.edu>).

gggenomes: A grammar of graphics for comparative genomics

Surabhi Chaudhary — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 14:47:32 -0600

gggenomes is a versatile graphics package for comparative genomics. It extends the popular R visualization packageggplot2 by adding dedicated plot functions for genes, syntenic regions, etc. and verbs to manipulate the plot to, for example, quickly zoom in into gene neighborhoods.

GEnView: A phylogeny based comparative genomics software to analyze the genetic environment of genes

Abhi — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 01:49:03 -0600

A phylogeny based comparative genomics software to analyze the genetic environment of genes. The user can select one or several taxa and provide one or several reference protein(s). Genomes and plasmids (based on user choice) will be downloaded from the NCBI Assembly/NR database and searched for the respective gene. Alternatively, custom genomes can be provided. User selected stretches (20kbp by default) of the genes genetic environment are extracted, annotated and aligned between all genomes. The sequences are then visualized, enabling comparison of synteny and gene content.

LoVis4u: Locus Visualisation tool for comparative genomics

LEGE — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 02:30:57 -0500

Description

LoVis4u is a bioinformatics tool for Loci Visualisation.

LoVis4u, a command-line tool and Python API designed for highly customizable and fast visualisation of multiple genomic loci. LoVis4u generates vector images in PDF format based on annotation data from GenBank or GFF files. It is capable of visualising entire genomes of bacteriophages as well as plasmids and user-defined regions of longer prokaryotic genomes. Additionally, LoVis4u offers optional data processing steps to identify and highlight accessory and core genes in input sequences.
