repeat-aware: Repeat aware scaffolding evaluation framework by Igor Mandric

Jit — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:10:00 -0500

Genome scaffolding is a classical challenging problem in bioinformatics. It refers to joining assembly contigs into chains (called scaffolds). The join between two contigs A and B is considered correct if:

Their relative orientation is correct
Their relative order is correct
The gap estimate is similar to the true distance on the reference

The problem of scaffolding validation is also a challenging one. One of the main issues which hinders from an adequate scaffolding evaluation are genome repeats. The previous standard for evaluation (Hunt et al., Genome Biology, 2014) did not take into account repeats. In this evaluation framework, repeats are taken into account.

The new evaluation framework considers the optimal assignment of contigs in the output scaffolding to contigs in the reference scaffolding in the sense of the number of correct links.

RePS: Repeat-masked Phrap with scaffolding, a WGS sequence assembler

Jit — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 01:08:09 -0600

RePS (Repeat-masked Phrap with scaffolding), a WGS sequence assembler, that explicitly identifies exact kmer repeats from the shotgun data and removes them prior to the assembly. The established software Phrap is used to compute meaningful error probabilities for each base. Clone-end-pairing information is used to construct scaffolds that order and orient the contigs. The updated version of RePS incorporates some of the ideas introduced by Phusion on clustering

SuRankCo is a machine learning based software to score and rank contigs from de novo assemblies of next generation sequencing data. It trains with alignments of contigs with known reference genomes and predicts scores and ranking for contigs which have no related reference genome yet.

WiseScaffolder

Poonam Mahapatra — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 08:08:57 -0500

Function

WiseScaffolder is a stand-alone semi-automatic application for genome scaffolding of pre-assembled contigs using mate-pair data. It also produces editable scaffold maps, allowing either to build gapped scaffolds or usable as a common thread for the manual improvement of scaffolds.

Description

WiseScaffolder includes 4 subcommands: dumpconfig generates a configuration file that notably specifies the average insert size of the mate-pair library preprocess allows the detection and correction of chimerae, the estimation of contigs copy number and produces valuable outputs for the manual improvement of scaffolds scaffold constitutes the central scaffold-builder and comprises two modules:

i) the interative_scaffold_extender, which works with big, unambiguous contigs, or when they run out, single copy contigs, and

ii) the small_contig_inserter, which inserts the small contigs within scaffolds buildfasta converts the scaffold(s) map(s) into Fasta sequences.

npScarf: Scaffolding and Completing Assemblies in Real-time Fashion

Jit — Tue, 23 May 2017 04:53:29 -0500

npScarf (jsa.np.npscarf) is a program that scaffolds and completes draft genomes assemblies in real-time with Oxford Nanopore sequencing. The pipeline can run on a computing cluster as well as on a laptop computer for microbial datasets. It also facilitates the real-time analysis of positional information such as gene ordering and the detection of genes from mobile elements (plasmids and genomic islands).

Opera: An optimal genome scaffolding program

Jit — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 10:18:20 -0600

Opera (Optimal Paired-End Read Assembler) is a sequence assembly program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_assembly ). It uses information from paired-end or long reads to optimally order and orient contigs assembled from shotgun-sequencing reads.

An updated version called OPERA-LG has been re-engineered with features for the assembly of large and complex genomes.

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
