HiTE: a fast and accurate dynamic boundary adjustment approach for full-length Transposable Elements detection and annotation in Genome Assemblies

LEGE — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 09:34:04 -0500

HiTE is a Python software that uses a dynamic boundary adjustment approach to detect and annotate full-length Transposable Elements in Genome Assemblies. In comparison to other tools, HiTE demonstrates superior performance in detecting a greater number of full-length TEs.

panHiTE

We have developed panHiTE, a comprehensive and accurate pipeline for TE detection in large-scale population genomes. It has been successfully applied to hundreds of plant population genomes, demonstrating its effectiveness and scalability.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the panHiTE tutorial.

MetaPlotR: a Perl/R pipeline for plotting metagenes of nucleotide modifications and other transcriptomic sites

Neel — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 08:12:45 -0600

An increasing number of studies are mapping protein binding and nucleotide modifications sites throughout the transcriptome. Often, these sites cluster in certain regions of the transcript, giving clues to their function. Hence, it is informative to summarize where in the transcript these sites occur. A metagene is a simple and effective tool for visualizing the distribution of sites along a simplified transcript model. In this work, we introduce MetaPlotR, a Perl/R pipeline for creating metagene plots.

AccessSyRI: finding genomic rearrangements andlocal sequence differences from whole-genome assemblies

SyRI, a pairwise whole-genome comparison tool for chromosome-level assemblies. SyRI starts by finding rearranged regions and then searches for differences in the sequences, which are distinguished for residing in syntenic or rearranged regions. This distinction is important as rearranged regions are inherited differently compared to syntenic regions.

CNIDARIA: fast, reference-free phylogenomic clustering

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 17:55:17 -0500

Motivation: Identification of biological specimens is a major requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without relying on prior knowledge, but these do not scale to arbitrarily large genomes and arbitrarily large phylogenetic distances.

Results: We present Cnidaria, a practical tool for clustering genomic and transcriptomic data with no limitation on ge-nome size or phylogenetic distances. We successfully simultaneously clustered 169 genomic and transcriptomic datasets from 4 kingdoms, achieving 100% accuracy at supra-species level and 78% accuracy for species level.

Availability and Implementation: Cnidaria is written in C++ and Python and is available at http://www.ab.wur.nl/cnidaria.

Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Flye: Fast and accurate de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads

BioJoker — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 21:54:55 -0500

Flye is a de novo assembler for single molecule sequencing reads, such as those produced by PacBio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. It is designed for a wide range of datasets, from small bacterial projects to large mammalian-scale assemblies. The package represents a complete pipeline: it takes raw PB / ONT reads as input and outputs polished contigs. Flye also includes a special mode for metagenome assembly.

CLARK: Fast, accurate and versatile sequence classification system

Jit — Sat, 15 Feb 2020 01:49:01 -0600

CLARK, a method based on a supervised sequence classification using discriminative k-mers. Considering two distinct specific classification problems (see the article for details), namely (1) the taxonomic classification of metagenomic reads to known bacterial genomes, and (2) the assignment of BAC clones and transcript to chromosome arms/centromeres (in the absence of a finished assembly for the reference genome), CLARK outperforms in classification speed and precision the best state-of-the-art methods.

MashMap: a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s)

Jit — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 17:23:31 -0600

MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a k-mer based Jaccard similarity using a combination of Winnowing and MinHash. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the Mash distance. An appropriate k-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds. The efficiency of the algorithm improves as both of these thresholds are increased.
