Deepbinner: a signal-level demultiplexer for Oxford Nanopore reads

Jit — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 02:45:53 -0600

Deepbinner is a tool for demultiplexing barcoded Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads. It does this with a deep convolutional neural network classifier, using many of the architectural advances that have proven successful in image classification. Unlike other demultiplexers (e.g. Albacore and Porechop), Deepbinner identifies barcodes from the raw signal (a.k.a. squiggle) which gives it greater sensitivity and fewer unclassified reads.

SHAMAN: a user-friendly website for metataxonomic analysis from raw reads to statistical analysis

BioStar — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 05:21:09 -0500

SHAMAN is a shiny application for differential analysis of metagenomic data (16S, 18S, 23S, 28S, ITS and WGS) including bioinformatics treatment of raw reads for targeted metagenomics, statistical analysis and results visualization with a large variety of plots (barplot, boxplot, heatmap, …).
The bioinformatics treatment is based on Vsearch [Rognes 2016] which showed to be both accurate and fast [Wescott 2015].The statistical analysis is based on DESeq2 R package [Anders and Huber 2010] which robustly identifies the differential abundant features as suggested in [McMurdie and Holmes 2014] and [Jonsson2016]. SHAMAN robustly identifies the differential abundant genera with the Generalized Linear Model implemented in DESeq2 [Love 2014].
SHAMAN is compatible with standard formats for metagenomic analysis (.csv, .tsv, .biom) and figures can be downloaded in several formats. A presentation about SHAMAN is available here and a poster here.

HairSplitter: assembling long reads in an unknown number of haplotypes

BioStar — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 00:13:40 -0600

Pros and cons of HairSplitter Limitations of HairSplitter:

Not very fast: it re-polishes the whole assembly

Limited in the number of haplotypes

Strengths of HairSplitter:

Very modular, can be used with any assembler

Naive: makes no assumption on ploidy, parameter-free

Safe: won’t artificially duplicate contigs

HairSplitter splits collapsed assemblies from “draft” assemblies obtained by any means

HairSplitter can recover haplotypes and distinguish repeated elements

Only needs sequencing reads, potentially error-prone

Jabba: Hybrid Error Correction for Long Sequencing Reads

Jit — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 03:58:14 -0600

Jabba is a hybrid error correction tool to correct third generation (PacBio / ONT) sequencing data, using second generation (Illumina) data.

Input

Jabba takes as input a concatenated de Bruijn graph and a set of sequences:

the de Bruijn graph should appear in fasta format with 1 entry per node, the meta information should be in the format:
>NODE
the set of sequences should be in fasta or fastq format. These sequences will be corrected (e.g. PacBio reads). The corrections will be written to a file Jabba fasta.
The output is a file in fasta format with corrections of the long reads, and additionally a file in the input format containing uncorrected reads.
