Stampy

Abhi — Fri, 20 May 2016 19:13:32 -0500

Stampy is a package for the mapping of short reads from illumina sequencing machines onto a reference genome. It's recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of reads containing that contain sequence variation relative to the reference, in particular for those containing insertions or deletions.

Picard

Neel — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 08:21:54 -0500

Picard is a set of command line tools for manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats such as SAM/BAM/CRAM and VCF. These file formats are defined in the Hts-specs repository. See especially the SAM specification and the VCF specification.

Note that the information on this page is targeted at end-users. For developers, the source code, building instructions and implementation/development resources are available on GitHub.

The Picard toolkit is open-source under the MIT license and free for all uses.

Enjoy!

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.

Fancy Oneliner for Bioinformatics !!

Poonam Mahapatra — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:05:50 -0500

This webpage lists some of the one-liners that we frequently use in metagenomic analyses. You can click on the following links to browse through different topics. You can copy/paste the commands as they are in your terminal screen, provided you follow the same naming conventions and folder structures as we have. We are sharing these codes with the intention that if they are useful and help you in your analyses, then we will be appropriately credited as considerable effort has been put into devising them.

segemehl

Anjana — Tue, 10 May 2016 08:10:15 -0500

segemehl is a software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Unlike other methods, segemehl is able to detect not only mismatches but also insertions and deletions. Furthermore, segemehl is not limited to a specific read length and is able to map primer- or polyadenylation contaminated reads correctly. segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA).

BBMap help

Shruti Paniwala — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 06:29:03 -0500

BBMAP • a solution for everything

That content has been reformatted and it is being expanded to include more information.

There are common options for most BBMap suite programs and depending on the file extension the input/output format is automatically chosen/set.

Using BBMap

Mapping Nanopore reads

BBMap.sh has a length cap of 6kbp. Reads longer than this will be broken into 6kbp pieces and mapped independently.

Stacks

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:52:30 -0600

Stacks is a software pipeline for building loci from short-read sequences, such as those generated on the Illumina platform. Stacks was developed to work with restriction enzyme-based data, such as RAD-seq, for the purpose of building genetic maps and conducting population genomics and phylogeography.
