medaka: Sequence correction provided by ONT Research

BioStar — Mon, 18 May 2020 16:28:00 -0500

medaka is a tool to create a consensus sequence from nanopore sequencing data. This task is performed using neural networks applied from a pileup of individual sequencing reads against a draft assembly. It outperforms graph-based methods operating on basecalled data, and can be competitive with state-of-the-art signal-based methods, whilst being much faster.

QuorUM: An Error Corrector for Illumina Reads

BioStar — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 23:26:55 -0600

We produce trimmed and error-corrected reads that result in assemblies with longer contigs and fewer errors. We compared QuorUM against several published error correctors and found that it is the best performer in most metrics we use. QuorUM is efficiently implemented making use of current multi-core computing architectures and it is suitable for large data sets (1 billion bases checked and corrected per day per core)

RaGOO: Fast Reference-Guided Scaffolding of Genome Assembly Contigs

Jit — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 00:57:23 -0500

Alonge M, Soyk S, Ramakrishnan S, Wang X, Goodwin S, Sedlazeck FJ, Lippman ZB, Schatz MC: Fast and accurate reference-guided scaffolding of draft genomes. bioRxiv 2019.

RaGOO is a tool for coalescing genome assembly contigs into pseudochromosomes via minimap2 alignments to a closely related reference genome. The focus of this tool is on practicality and therefore has the following features:

Good performance. On a MacBook Pro using Arabidopsis data, pseudochromosome construction takes less than a minute and the whole pipeline with SV calling takes ~2 minutes.
Intact ordering and orienting of contigs.
Misassembly correction
GFF lift-over
Structural variant calling with and integrated version of Assemblytics
Confidence scores associated with the grouping, localization, and orientation for each contig.

MMseqs2.0: ultra fast and sensitive protein search and clustering suite

Jit — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 10:40:51 -0500

MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein sequence sets. MMseqs2 is open source GPL-licensed software implemented in C++ for Linux, MacOS, and (as beta version, via cygwin) Windows. The software is designed to run on multiple cores and servers and exhibits very good scalability. MMseqs2 can run 10000 times faster than BLAST. At 100 times its speed it achieves almost the same sensitivity. It can perform profile searches with the same sensitivity as PSI-BLAST at over 400 times its speed.

The MMseqs2 user guide is available as Github Wiki or as PDF file (Thanks to pandoc!)

WhatsHap: fast and accurate read-based phasing

Jit — Mon, 28 May 2018 09:52:16 -0500

WhatsHap is a software for phasing genomic variants using DNA sequencing reads, also called read-based phasing or haplotype assembly. It is especially suitable for long reads, but works also well with short reads.

Features

Very accurate results (Martin et al., WhatsHap: fast and accurate read-based phasing)

Works well with Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore and other types of reads

It phases SNVs, indels and even “complex” variants (such as TCG → AGAA)

Pedigree phasing mode uses reads from related individuals (such as trios) to improve results and to reduce coverage requirements (Garg et al., Read-Based Phasing of Related Individuals).

WhatsHap is easy to install

It is easy to use: Pass in a VCF and one or more BAM files, get out a phased VCF. Supports multi-sample VCFs.

It produces standard-compliant VCF output by default

If desired, get output that is compatible with ReadBackedPhasing

STELLAR: fast and exact local alignments

Neel — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 16:00:46 -0500

STELLAR is very practical and fast on very long sequences which makes it a suitable new tool for finding local alignments between genomic sequences under the edit distance model. Binaries are freely available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X at http://www.seqan.de/projects/stellar.

FLAS: fast and high throughput algorithm for PacBio long read self-correction.

Jit — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:16:39 -0500

FLAS, a wrapper algorithm of MECAT, to achieve high throughput long read self-correction while keeping MECAT's fast speed. FLAS finds additional alignments from MECAT prealigned long reads to improve the correction throughput, and removes misalignments for accuracy.
