Upset plots !

BioStar — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 22:30:23 -0500

Upset plots are a type of visualization used to analyze the intersection of sets or categories. They are particularly useful for displaying data with multiple categories and analyzing their overlaps.

In an upset plot, each row represents a category or set, and each column represents a data point. The length of the bar for each category indicates the number of data points that belong to that category. The plot also shows the intersections between categories, represented by overlapping bars.

Upset plots are useful for visualizing complex data with multiple categories and intersections, and can help identify patterns and relationships between categories. They are often used in fields such as bioinformatics, where they can be used to analyze gene expression data or to compare the results of different experimental conditions.

ONT assembly and Illumina polishing pipeline

Jit — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 10:13:42 -0600

This pipeline performs the following steps:

Assembly of nanopore reads using Canu.
Polish canu contigs using racon (optional).
Map a paired-end Illumina dataset onto the contigs obtained in the previous steps using BWA mem.
Perform correction of contigs using pilon and the Illumina dataset.

dnaPipeTE: de-novo assembly & annotation Pipeline for Transposable Elements

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 02 Dec 2017 18:25:44 -0600

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).

dnaPipeTE is developped by Clément Goubert, Laurent Modolo and the TREEP team of the LBBE: http://lbbe.univ-lyon1.fr/-Equipe-Elements-transposables-.html?lang=en
You can find the original publication in GBE here: https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/7/4/1192/533768

MEGAHIT: an ultra-fast single-node solution for large and complex metagenomics assembly via succinct de Bruijn graph

Jit — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 04:50:27 -0600

MEGAHIT is a single node assembler for large and complex metagenomics NGS reads, such as soil. It makes use of succinct de Bruijn graph (SdBG) to achieve low memory assembly. MEGAHIT can optionally utilize a CUDA-enabled GPU to accelerate its SdBG contstruction. The GPU-accelerated version of MEGAHIT has been tested on NVIDIA GTX680 (4G memory) and Tesla K40c (12G memory) with CUDA 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5. MEGAHIT v1.0 or greater also supports IBM Power PC and has been tested on IBM POWER8.

SDA: Long-read sequence and assembly of segmental duplications

Jit — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 10:00:57 -0600

Segmental Duplication Assembler (SDA; https://github.com/mvollger/SDA) constructs graphs in which paralogous sequence variants define the nodes and long-read sequences provide attraction and repulsion edges, enabling the partition and assembly of long reads corresponding to distinct paralogs.

Merfin: improved variant filtering, assembly evaluation and polishing via k-mer validation

Neel — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 20:35:19 -0500

Merfin, a k-mer based variant-filtering algorithm for improved accuracy in genotyping and genome assembly polishing. Merfin evaluates each variant based on the expected k-mer multiplicity in the reads, independently of the quality of the read alignment and variant caller’s internal score. Merfin increased the precision of genotyped calls in several benchmarks, improved consensus accuracy and reduced frameshift errors when applied to human and nonhuman assemblies built from Pacific Biosciences HiFi and continuous long reads or Oxford Nanopore reads, including the first complete human genome. Moreover, we introduce assembly quality and completeness metrics that account for the expected genomic copy numbers.

Pilon

Rahul Nayak — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 15:56:18 -0600

Pilon is a software tool which can be used to:

Automatically improve draft assemblies
Find variation among strains, including large event detection

Pilon requires as input a FASTA file of the genome along with one or more BAM files of reads aligned to the input FASTA file. Pilon uses read alignment analysis to identify inconsistencies between the input genome and the evidence in the reads. It then attempts to make improvements to the input genome, including:

Single base differences
Small indels
Larger indel or block substitution events
Gap filling
Identification of local misassemblies, including optional opening of new gaps
