CRBHits: From Conditional Reciprocal Best Hits to Codon Alignments and Ka/Ks in R

Shruti Paniwala — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 23:06:03 -0600

CRBHits is a coding sequence (CDS) analysis pipeline in R (R Core Team, 2019). It reimplements the Conditional Reciprocal Best Hit (CRBH) algorithm crb-blast and covers all necessary steps from sequence similarity searches, codon alignments to Ka/Ks calculations and synteny. The new R package targets ecology, population and evolutionary biologists working in the field of comparative genomics.

GMcloser: closing gaps in assemblies accurately with a likelihood-based selection of contig or long-read alignments

Shruti Paniwala — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 05:43:44 -0500

GMcloser uses likelihood-based classifiers calculated from the alignment statistics between scaffolds, contigs and paired-end reads to correctly assign contigs or long reads to gap regions of scaffolds, thereby achieving accurate and efficient gap closure. We demonstrate with sequencing data from various organisms that the gap-closing accuracy of GMcloser is 3–100-fold higher than those of other available tools, with similar efficiency. https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/31/23/3733/209212

Alfred: BAM Statistics and Feature Counting

Jit — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 05:28:38 -0600

The easiest way to get Alfred is to download a statically linked binary from the Alfred github release page. Alternatively, you can build Alfred from source. Alfred dependencies are included as submodules so you need to do a recursive clone.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tobiasrausch/alfred.git

cd alfred/

make all

tinycov: standalone command line utility written in python to plot coverage from a BAM file

Jit — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 06:22:08 -0500

Tinycov is a small standalone command line utility written in python to plot the coverage of a BAM file quickly. This software was inspired by Matt Edwards' genome coverage plotter.

To install the stable version: pip3 install --user tinycov

To install the development version:

git clone https://github.com/cmdoret/tinycov.git
cd tinycov
pip install .

sam to bam conversion !!

Jit — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 02:36:18 -0600

To do sam to bam conversion, follow the following commands :-

Code:

$ samtools view -b -S file.sam > file.bam

Then you will need to use

Code:

$ samtools sort file.bam file-sorted

followed by

Code:

$ samtools index  file-sorted.bam

in order to get an indexed file.

If you just type

Code:

$ samtools

or samtools followed by the name of one of the samtools commands, you will get a few lines of help giving the correct syntax for that command,

Liftoff: an accurate tool that maps annotations in GFF or GTF between assemblies

Jit — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 21:40:52 -0500

Liftoff, an accurate tool that maps annotations in GFF or GTF between assemblies of the same, or closely-related species. Unlike current coordinate lift-over tools which require a pre-generated “chain” file as input, Liftoff is a standalone tool that takes two genome assemblies and a reference annotation as input and outputs an annotation of the target genome.

OGDRAW - Draw Organelle Genome Maps

Abhi — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 03:34:35 -0500

OrganellarGenomeDRAW converts annotations in the GenBank or EMBL/ENA format into graphical maps. The input has to be a GenBank or EMBL/ENA flat file wherase the output can vary among several types of files. The application is optimized to create detailed high-quality maps of organellar genomes (plastid and mitochondria). Nevertheless, you can upload most database entries.

Please take a look at our FAQ section and do not hesitate to report bugs or suggestions for improvements by email.
