SSPACE

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 05:42:15 -0500

SSPACE standard is a stand-alone program for scaffolding pre-assembled contigs using NGS paired-read data. It is unique in offering the possibility to manually control the scaffolding process. By using the distance information of paired-end and/or matepair data, SSPACE is able to assess the order, distance and orientation of your contigs and combine them into scaffolds. Currently we offer this as a command-line tool in Perl. The input data is given by pre-assembled contig sequences (FASTA) and NGS paired-read data (Illumina/454/Solid FASTA or FASTQ). The final scaffolds are provided in FASTA format.

Mugsy: multiple whole genome alignment tool

Jit — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 17:41:14 -0600

Mugsy is a multiple whole genome aligner. Mugsy uses Nucmer for pairwise alignment, a custom graph based segmentation procedure for identifying collinear regions, and the segment-based progressive multiple alignment strategy from Seqan::TCoffee. Mugsy accepts draft genomes in the form of multi-FASTA files and does not require a reference genome.

To cite Mugsy, use:

ANItools web: a web tool for fast genome comparison within multiple bacterial strains

Jit — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 04:34:23 -0600

ANItools is a software package written by PERL scripts that can be run in a Linux/Unix system. If you want to compare bacterial genomes and calculate their average nucleotide identity (ANI), you could download and run this program directly. Or you could send us the genome sequence by email. Then we will do the analysis work for you.

CLA: Contig-Layout-Authenticator

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 05:58:36 -0500

To improve upon the shortcomings associated with the construction of draft genomes with Illumina paired-end sequencing, we developed Contig-Layout-Authenticator (CLA). The CLA pipeline can scaffold reference-sorted contigs based on paired reads, resulting in better assembled genomes. Moreover, CLA also hints at probable misassemblies and contaminations, for the users to cross-check before constructing the consensus draft. The CLA pipeline was designed and trained extensively on various bacterial genome datasets for the ordering and scaffolding of large repetitive contigs. The tool has been validated and compared favorably with other widely-used scaffolding and ordering tools using both simulated and real sequence datasets. CLA is a user friendly tool that requires a single command line input to generate ordered scaffolds.

CSAR-web: a web server of contig scaffolding using algebraic rearrangements

BioStar — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 04:39:36 -0500

CSAR-web is a web-based tool that allows the users to efficiently and accurately scaffold (i.e. order and orient) the contigs of a target draft genome based on a complete or incomplete reference genome from a related organism.

CSAR-web can serve as a convenient and useful scaffolding tool allowing the users to efficiently and accurately scaffold their draft genomes according to a complete or incomplete reference genome.

Alvis: a tool for contig and read ALignment VISualisation and chimera detection

LEGE — Wed, 08 May 2024 07:02:55 -0500

Alvis, a simple command line tool that can generate visualisations for a number of common alignment analysis tasks. Alvis is a fast and portable tool that accepts input in a variety of alignment formats and will output production ready vector images. Additionally, Alvis will highlight potentially chimeric reads or contigs, a common source of misassemblies.

Mulan: MUltiple sequence Local AligNment and conservation visualization tool

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:02:32 -0500

Mulan performs multiple (2 or more) sequence alignments with an efficient and rapid "full local" alignment strategy that ensures a recapitulation of evolutionary sequence rearrangements (such as inversions and reshuffling) in any of the species. It combines refine and tba tools to align either "draft" or "finished" quality sequences. Mulan provides a dynamic graphical interface to align and visualize conservation profiles for evolutionarily distant and closely related species.

Input formats, automated data upload from the UCSC Genome Browser, gene annotation, annotation of repetitive elements, and progress report were previously described in the zPicture instructions and we refer the users to these materials for more details. This introduction is mainly focused on some novel features unique to the Mulan.

EAGLER: a scaffolding tool for long reads.

Jit — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 05:26:03 -0500

EAGLER is a scaffolding tool for long reads. The scaffolder takes as input a draft genome created by any NGS assembler and a set of long reads. The long reads are used to extend the contigs present in the NGS draft and possibly join overlapping contigs. EAGLER supports both PacBio and Oxford Nanopore reads.

The tool should be compatible with most UNIX flavors and has been successfully tested on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.11.1
Mac OS X 10.10.3
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

GRSR: a tool for deriving genome rearrangement scenarios from multiple unichromosomal genome sequences

Jit — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 09:35:10 -0500

GRSR is a Tool for Deriving Genome Rearrangement Scenarios for Multiple Uni-chromosomal Genomes. This tool will do the following steps:

Step 1. Run mugsy to get multiple sequence alignment results.
Step 2 & 3. Extraction of the Coordinates of Core Blocks, Construction of Synteny Blocks and Generating Signed Permutations.
Step 4. Generate pairwise genome rearrangement scenarios and find repeats at the breakpoints of each rearrangement events.
