GRAbB: Selective Assembly of Genomic Regions, a New Niche for Genomic Research

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 26 Jan 2019 18:58:16 -0600

GRAbB is shown to be more efficient than MITObim in terms of speed, memory and disk usage. The other functionalities (handling multiple targets simultaneously and extracting homologous regions) of the new program are not matched by other programs. The program is available with explanatory documentation at https://github.com/b-brankovics/grabb. GRAbB has been tested on Ubuntu (12.04 and 14.04), Fedora (23), CentOS (7.1.1503) and Mac OS X (10.7). Furthermore, GRAbB is available as a docker repository: brankovics/grabb (https://hub.docker.com/r/brankovics/grabb/).

Mitofinder is a pipeline to assemble mitochondrial genomes and annotate mitochondrial genes from trimmed read sequencing data.

MitoFinder is also designed to find and annotate mitochondrial sequences in existing genomic assemblies (generated from Hifi/PacBio/Nanopore/Illumina sequencing data...)

MitoFinder is distributed under the license.

Peregrine & SHIMMER Genome Assembly Toolkit

Abhi — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 02:50:19 -0600

Peregrine is a fast genome assembler for accurate long reads (length > 10kb, accuracy > 99%). It can assemble a human genome from 30x reads within 20 cpu hours from reads to polished consensus. It uses Sparse HIereachical MimiMizER (SHIMMER) for fast read-to-read overlaping without quadratic comparisions used in other OLC assemblers.

CLAW: Chloroplast Long-read Assembly Workflow

LEGE — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:37:46 -0600

CLAW (Chloroplast Long-read Assembly Workflow) is an mostly-automated Snakemake-based workflow for the assembly of chloroplast genomes. CLAW uses chloroplast long-reads, which are baited out of larger read libraries (e.g., an Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION read library derived from photosynthetic tissue), for assembly with Flye and/or Unicycler. CLAW was designed with the novice bioinformatician in mind - it is easy to install and easy to use, requiring only minimal user input.

PRICE (Paired-Read Iterative Contig Extension), a de novo genome assembler implemented in C++.

Surabhi Chaudhary — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 03:08:26 -0500

We are pleased to release PRICE (Paired-Read Iterative Contig Extension), a de novo genome assembler implemented in C++. Its name describes the strategy that it implements for genome assembly: PRICE uses paired-read information to iteratively increase the size of existing contigs. Initially, those contigs can be individual reads from a subset of the paired-read dataset, non-paired reads from sequencing technologies that provide non-paired data, or contigs that were output from a prior run of PRICE or any other assembler. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/software/price/

Wtdbg2: a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore

Neel — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:48:43 -0500

Wtdbg2 is a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). It assembles raw reads without error correction and then builds the consensus from intermediate assembly output. Wtdbg2 is able to assemble the human and even the 32Gb Axolotl genome at a speed tens of times faster than CANU and FALCONwhile producing contigs of comparable base accuracy.

The Extensive de novo TE Annotator (EDTA)

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 04:05:36 -0500

The EDTA package was designed to filter out false discoveries in raw TE candidates and generate a high-quality non-redundant TE library for whole-genome TE annotations. Selection of initial search programs were based on benckmarkings on the annotation performance using a manually curated TE library in the rice genome.
