Mitofinder is a pipeline to assemble mitochondrial genomes and annotate mitochondrial genes from trimmed read sequencing data.

MitoFinder is also designed to find and annotate mitochondrial sequences in existing genomic assemblies (generated from Hifi/PacBio/Nanopore/Illumina sequencing data...)

MitoFinder is distributed under the license.

dnaPipeTE: a pipeline designed to find, annotate and quantify Transposable Elements

Jit — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 21:56:08 -0500

dnaPipeTE (for de-novo assembly & annotation Pipeline for Transposable Elements), is a pipeline designed to find, annotate and quantify Transposable Elements in small samples of NGS datasets. It is very useful to quantify the proportion of TEs in newly sequenced genomes since it does not require genome assembly and works on small datasets (< 1X).

ReConPlot: an R package for the visualization and interpretation of genomic rearrangements

LEGE — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 12:33:19 -0600

ReConPlot (REarrangement and COpy Number PLOT), an R package that provides functionalities for the joint visualization of SCNAs and SVs across one or multiple chromosomes. ReConPlot is based on the popular ggplot2 package, thus allowing customization of plots and the generation of publication-quality figures with minimal effort.

LAST

Archana Malhotra — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 14:27:01 -0600

LAST can:

Handle big sequence data, e.g:
- Compare two vertebrate genomes
- Align billions of DNA reads to a genome
Indicate the reliability of each aligned column.
Use sequence quality data properly.
Compare DNA to proteins, with frameshifts.
Compare PSSMs to sequences
Calculate the likelihood of chance similarities between random sequences.
Do split and spliced alignment.
Train alignment parameters for unusual kinds of sequence (e.g. nanopore).

UPhO: Scripts for homology and orthology assessment from genomic sequences.

BioStar — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 10:36:42 -0600

UPhO finds orthologs with and without inparalogs from input gene family trees. Refer to the Documentation.pdf for more detailed explanations on its usage, installation and dependencies. Type UPhO.py -h for help.

The only input requierement for UPhO is a tree (or trees) in Newick format in which the leaves are named with a species idenfifier, a field separator, and sequence identifier. By default, the field separator is the character "|" but custom delimiters can be defined. Examples of trees to test UPhO are provided in the TestData folder.

Curated set of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) reference sequences (targeted loci) with verifiable organism

Rahul Nayak — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 02:17:30 -0600

MCBI have a curated set of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) reference sequences (targeted loci) with verifiable organism sources and current names. This set is critical for correctly identifying and classifying prokaryotic (bacteria and archaea) and fungal samples. To provide easy access to these sequences, we recently added a separate rRNA/ITS databases section on the nucleotide BLAST page for these targeted sequences that makes it convenient to quickly identify source organisms. The new databases are:

*16S ribosomal RNA (Bacteria and Archaea)

*18S ribosomal RNA sequences (SSU) from Fungi type and reference material

*28S ribosomal RNA sequences (LSU) from Fungi type and reference material

*Internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) from Fungi type and reference material

You can also download these from the BLAST db FTP area. See the NCBI Insights post for more detail.

Tiara: deep learning-based classification system for eukaryotic sequences

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 23:02:11 -0500

With a large number of metagenomic datasets becoming available, eukaryotic metagenomics emerged as a new challenge. The proper classification of eukaryotic nuclear and organellar genomes is an essential step toward a better understanding of eukaryotic diversity.
