Jit — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 04:02:22 -0600

Long Read Correction and other Correction tools

This package is a loose collection of scripts. To run the correction
routine see the section below. Descriptions of the other scripts
are at the bottom of this file.

Contact: gurtowsk@cshl.edu

In short, the correction algorithm takes as input the unitigs from a short read assembly and uses them to correct long read data. More background information for the algorithm can be found:

Bioinformatic tools for pathogens informatics at CVR

Abhi — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 15:59:46 -0500

Novel sequencing and analytical approaches focused on studying viruses and virus-host interactions. Below you will find summaries and links to a number of bioinformatic tools that have been developed @ CVR.

DIGS

The database-integrated genome-screening (DIGS) tool provides a framework for implementing automated in silico screening of sequence databases using BLAST in combination with a relational database (MySQL).

DisCVR

DisCVR is a Diagnostic tool for detecting known human viruses in clinical samples from Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. The tool uses a simple and straightforward Graphical User Interface and is optimized on Windows OS without compromising speed and accuracy.

DiversiTools

DiversiTools is a computational tool that is specifically tailored towards viral HTS data sets and the analysis of the underlying viral populations that they represent. It was initially developed in collaboration with a number of virologists interested in characterising the intra-host diversity of viral populations and studying their evolution across transmission chains at the micro-evolutionary scale.

GLUE

GLUE is a flexible data-centric bioinformatics environment for virus sequence data, with a focus on virus evolution and genomic variation. GLUE has been applied to a range of viruses. A GLUE-based resource focused on Hepatitis C virus is HCV-GLUE.

Tanoti

Tanoti is a BLAST guided reference based short read aligner. It is developed for maximising alignment in highly variable next generation sequence data sets (Illumina).

ViCTree

ViCTree is a bioinformatic framework that automatically selects new candidate virus sequences from GenBank, generates multiple sequence alignments, calculates a maximum likelihood phylogeny and integrates the sequences into the existing phylogenetic trees. For more information click here.

Viral Host Predictor

Viral Host Predictor provides a fast and simple way to predict the hosts and vectors of RNA viruses from viral sequences.

GRACy

GRACy is a bioinformatic tool designed for the analysis of Illumina data originated from Human cytomegalovirus samples. GRACy can be used to perform read quality filtering, genotyping, de novo assembly, variant detection, annotation and data submission to public database.

LoReTTA

LoReTTA (Long Read Template Targeted Assembler) is a reference assisted de novo assembler specifically designed to deal with PacBio reads generated from viral genomes.

BingleSeq

BingleSeq is a R-package enables the user-friendly analysis of count tables obtained by both Bulk RNA-Seq and single-cell RNA-Seq protocols. The development of BingleSeq focused on providing a flexible and intuitive user experience.

Update Genome Workbench 2.7.15 released

Surabhi Chaudhary — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 16:12:17 -0600

NCBI Genome Workbench is an integrated application for viewing and analyzing sequence data. With Genome Workbench, you can view data in publically available sequence databases at NCBI, and mix this data with your own private data.

Genome Workbench can display sequence data in many ways, including graphical sequence views, various alignment views, phylogenetic tree views, and tabular views of data. It can also align your private data to data in public databases, display your data in the context of public data, and retrieve BLAST results.

Genome Workbench is built on the NCBI C++ ToolKit and uses cross-platform APIs for graphics. It runs on your local machine, and is available for Windows 2000/XP, Linux, MacOS X, and various flavors of Unix.

NCBI Genome Workbench is an integrated application for viewing and analyzing sequence data. Genome Workbench was developed entirely in-house at NCBI and makes use of the NCBI C++ ToolKit. The C++ ToolKit provides a convenient and flexible cross-platform API for managing system internals, database connections, network sockets, and the NCBI data model. In addition, the C++ ToolKit provides the Object Manager, which abstracts handling of sequences and sequence-related objects.

New Features in Genome Workbench 2.7.15

Multiple Alignment View: implemented adaptive feature display when zooming in
Active Objects Inspector replaces Selection Inspector. New View should offer an improved selection context examination. See Using Active Objects Inspector tutorial for more details.
Binary packages for Linux OpenSUSE 13.1 are now available

Bug Fixes and Improvements in Genome Workbench 2.7.15

Fixed major issue with OpenGL overlay/scrolling. Could cause crashes or view scrolling irregularities
Multiple Pane View: fixed crash on loading BLAST results
Graphical Sequence View: fixed crash on zooming in and out, related to SNP track
Graphical Sequence View: fixed Go To Position dialog to give better diagnostics in case of a user error
Graphical Sequence View: PDF export fixed rendering of Markers with commas in the name
Text View / Flat File: fixed Mac OS rendering issues
Text View / Flat File: performance optimization, extended capabilities of real-time rendering of molecules to tens of thousands
File Import: optimization improvement to speed up load of files containing multiple project items
File Import: remapping stage now shows accession.version and description of molecules, instead of plain GI numbers
Mac OS: improved tooltips for toolbar buttons
Phylogenetic Tree Builder Tool: improved diagnostics of errors
Multiple Alignment View: optimizations to avoid main GUI freezes
Open Dialog: removed duplicate elements in table of genomes (load Genome)
PDF export: fixed issue with XREF table errors
Tree View: fixed issues with showing Force Layout progress on Mac OS
Tree View: PDF export fixed issues for showing labels of collapsed nodes
Tree View: added an option to stop layout
Tree View: broadcasting mechanism fixed not to accumulate selected nodes
