TelomereHunter

Jit — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 04:23:59 -0600

TelomereHunter is a tool for estimating telomere content from human whole-genome sequencing data. It is designed to take BAM files from a tumor and a matching control sample as input. However, it is also possible to run TelomereHunter with one input file. TelomereHunter extracts and sorts telomeric reads from the input sample(s). For the estimation of telomere content, GC biases are taken into account. Finally, the results of TelomereHunter are visualized in several diagrams.

TelomereHunter is available for download at the following address: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/telomerehunter/

RAMI: a tool for identification and characterization of phylogenetic clusters in microbial communities

Jit — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 18:49:27 -0500

RAMI, which clusters related nodes in a phylogenetic tree based on the patristic distance. RAMI also produces indices of cluster properties and other indices used in population and community studies on-the-fly.

jobTree based python wrapper to run the genome simulation tool suite Evolver

Jit — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 16:26:32 -0600

evolverSimControl (eSC) can be used to simulate multi-chromosome genome evolution on an arbitrary phylogeny (Newick format). In addition to simply running evolver, eSC also automatically creates statistical summaries of the simulation as it runs including text and image files. Also included are convenience scripts to: check on a running simulation and see detailed status and logging information; extract fasta sequence files from the leaf nodes of a completed simulation; extract pairwise multiple alignment files (.maf) from leaf and branch nodes from a completed simulation and with the help of mafJoin, join them together into a single maf covering the entire simulation.

minialign: fast and accurate alignment tool for PacBio and Nanopore long reads

Jit — Thu, 24 May 2018 08:33:26 -0500

Minialign is a little bit fast and moderately accurate nucleotide sequence alignment tool designed for PacBio and Nanopore long reads. It is built on three key algorithms, minimizer-based index of the minimap overlapper, array-based seed chaining, and SIMD-parallel Smith-Waterman-Gotoh extension.

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

FinisherSC:a repeat-aware tool for upgrading de novo assembly using long reads

Jit — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 04:08:50 -0500

Here is the command to run the tool:

python finisherSC.py destinedFolder mummerPath

If you are running on server computer and would like to use multiple threads, then the following commands can generate 20 threads to run FinisherSC.

python finisherSC.py -par 20 destinedFolder mummerPath

Sometimes, if the names of raw reads and contigs consists of special characters/formats, FinisherSC/MUMmer may not parse them correctly. In that case, you want to have a quick renaming of the names of contigs/reads in contigs.fasta or raw_reads.fasta using the following command.

    perl -pe 's/>[^\$]*$/">Seg" . ++$n ."\n"/ge' raw_reads.fasta > newRaw_reads.fasta
    cp newRaw_reads.fasta raw_reads.fasta
    perl -pe 's/>[^\$]*$/">Seg" . ++$n ."\n"/ge' contigs.fasta > newContigs.fasta
    cp newContigs.fasta contigs.fasta

rHAT: a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool

Abhimanyu Singh — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 05:12:22 -0500

rHAT is a seed-and-extension-based noisy long read alignment tool. It is suitable for aligning 3rd generation sequencing reads which are in large read length with relatively high error rate, especially Pacbio's Single Molecule Read-time (SMRT) sequencing reads.
