Spines

Spines is a collection of software tools, developed and used by the Vertebrate Genome Biology Group at the Broad Institute. It provides basic data structures for efficient data manipulation (mostly genomic sequences, alignments, variation etc.), as well as specialized tool sets for various analyses. It also features three sequence alignment packages: Satsuma, a highly parallelized program for high-sensitivity, genome-wide synteny; Papaya, an all-purpose alignment tool for less diverged sequences; and SLAP, a context-sensitive local aligner for diverged sequences with large gaps.

The vast amount of knowledge contained in these results, however, is best  exploited through phased haplotypes, which classify the alleles co-located on the same chromosome. Since sequence and SNP array data normally take the form of unphased genotypes, one does not specifically observe which of the two parental chromosomes, or haplotypes, falls on a specific allele. Fortunately, new advances in both computational and laboratory methods promise improved determination of haplotype phase. Following are useful tools :

The MEME Suite allows the biologist to discover novel motifs in collections of unaligned nucleotide or protein sequences, and to perform a wide variety of other motif-based analyses.

The MEME Suite supports motif-based analysis of DNA, RNA and protein sequences. It provides motif discovery algorithms using both probabilistic (MEME) and discrete models (MEME), which have complementary strengths. It also allows discovery of motifs with arbitrary insertions and deletions (GLAM2). In addition to motif discovery, the MEME Suite provides tools for scanning sequences for matches to motifs (FIMO, MAST and GLAM2Scan), scanning for clusters of motifs (MCAST), comparing motifs to known motifs (Tomtom), finding preferred spacings between motifs (SpaMo), predicting the biological roles of motifs (GOMo), measuring the positional enrichment of sequences for known motifs (CentriMo), and analyzing ChIP-seq and other large datasets (MEME-ChIP).

The MEME Suite is comprised of a collection of tools that work together, as shown below. Not all the tools are available as webservices, so to get the full power of the MEME Suite you will need to download and install a local copy of the software. To see what has changed recently you can peruse the release notes.

In order for a eukaryotic species to gain a gene by HGT, foreign DNA must enter the host nucleus, integrate into the genome, and in more complex organisms it must enter the sequestered germline in order to be transmitted to offspring. Once there, it must not experience strong negative selection, despite potential for genetic incompatibility with the host genome and mismatch between the niche of the donor and the host. Over the longer term, foreign DNA may become “domesticated” in the recipient genome and provide novel function.

PPIs can be investigated from two aspects: The interaction partners of a specific protein and the amino acid residues participating in a given PPI. Information about a protein’s interaction partners allows scientists to construct protein interaction networks, such as signaling pathways, which in turn facilitate the understanding of many biological and clinical observations. 

Following are the list of tools commonly used to PPIs predictions:

Protein-Protein Interaction Sites

PPISP

HOMCOS

A server to predict interacting protein pairs and interacting sites by homology modeling of complex structures

HotPOINT

The full article can be found here. Kindly cite the article if you are using MITObim in your work. The pipeline was originally developed for Illumina data, but thanks to the versatility of the MIRA assembler, MITObim supports in principle also data from the Iontorrent, 454 and PacBio sequencing platforms.

Below you can find a few basic tutorials for how to run MITObim and I encorage you to give them a try with the testdata that comes with this Repo, just to make sure everything is running smoothly on your system. It'll only take a few minutes and will potentially safe you a lot of time down the line.

I provide further examples here as Jupyter notebooks. Get in touch if you feel like sharing your particular MITObim solution and I'd be happy to put it up here, too!

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.
