QuasiModo - Quasispecies Metric Determination on Omics

Neel — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:22:56 -0500

This repository contains the scripts and pipeline that reproduces the results of the HCMV benchmarking study. In this study we evaluated genome assemblers and variant callers on 10 in vitro generated, mixed strain HCMV sequence samples, each consisting of two lab strains in different abundance ratios. This tool can also be used to evaluate assemblies and variant calling results on other similar datasets.

ALE: Assembly Likelihood Estimator

BioStar — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 01:39:33 -0600

Just import the assembly, bam and ALE scores. You can convert the .ale file to a set of .wig files with ale2wiggle.py and IGV can read those directly. Depending on your genome size you may want to convert the .wig files to the BigWig format.

Metassembler: merging and optimizing de novo genome assemblies

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 08 May 2018 04:52:33 -0500

Metassembler combines multiple whole genome de novo assemblies into a combined consensus assembly using the best segments of the individual assemblies.

Genome assembly projects typically run multiple algorithms in an attempt to find the single best assembly, although those assemblies often have complementary, if untapped, strengths and weaknesses. We present our metassembler algorithm that merges multiple assemblies of a genome into a single superior sequence.

RapClust: Accurate, Lightweight Clustering of de novo Transcriptomes using Fragment Equivalence Classes

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 17:57:10 -0500

RapClust is a tool for clustering contigs from de novo transcriptome assemblies. RapClust is designed to be run downstream of the Sailfish or Salmon tools for rapid transcript-level quantification. Specifically, RapClust relies on the fragment equivalence classes computed by these tools in order to determine how seqeunce is shared across the transcriptome, and how reads map to potentially-related contigs across different conditions.

NovoGraph: building whole genome graphs from long-read-based de novo assemblies

An algorithmically novel approach to construct a genome graph representation of long-read-based de novo sequence assemblies. We then provide a proof of principle by creating a genome graph of seven ethnically-diverse human genomes.

HALC: High throughput algorithm for long read error correction

Jit — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 10:47:41 -0500

HALC, a high throughput algorithm for long read error correction. HALC aligns the long reads to short read contigs from the same species with a relatively low identity requirement so that a long read region can be aligned to at least one contig region, including its true genome region’s repeats in the contigs sufficiently similar to it (similar repeat based alignment approach) HALC was able to obtain 6.7-41.1% higher throughput than the existing algorithms while maintaining comparable accuracy. The HALC corrected long reads can thus result in 11.4-60.7% longer assembled contigs than the existing algorithms.

SiLiX: implements an ultra-efficient algorithm for the clustering of homologous sequences

Jit — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 09:22:41 -0600

The software package SiLiX implements an ultra-efficient algorithm for the clustering of homologous sequences, based on single transitive links (single linkage) with alignment coverage constraints.

SiLiX adopts a graph-theoretical framework to interpret similarity pairs as edges of a network. A very efficient algorithm, based on the Disjoint Sets Data Structure, allows the computation of sequence families with low time and space requirements.

A parallel version of SiLiX, based on MPI, is also available in this package and has been proved to be scalable, so that its allows the study of very large datasets.

SiLiX is already included in the analysis pipeline for HOGENOM.

AlfaPang: alignment free algorithm for pangenome graph construction

BioStar — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 02:56:35 -0500

AlfaPang constructs variation graphs, leveraging its alignment-free and reference-free approach, based solely on intrinsic sequence properties. This design allows AlfaPang's runtime and memory usage to scale linearly with the size of input sequences, enabling it to handle significantly larger genome sets compared to other methods.
