Bioinformatic tools for pathogens informatics at CVR

Abhi — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 15:59:46 -0500

Novel sequencing and analytical approaches focused on studying viruses and virus-host interactions. Below you will find summaries and links to a number of bioinformatic tools that have been developed @ CVR.

DIGS

The database-integrated genome-screening (DIGS) tool provides a framework for implementing automated in silico screening of sequence databases using BLAST in combination with a relational database (MySQL).

DisCVR

DisCVR is a Diagnostic tool for detecting known human viruses in clinical samples from Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. The tool uses a simple and straightforward Graphical User Interface and is optimized on Windows OS without compromising speed and accuracy.

DiversiTools

DiversiTools is a computational tool that is specifically tailored towards viral HTS data sets and the analysis of the underlying viral populations that they represent. It was initially developed in collaboration with a number of virologists interested in characterising the intra-host diversity of viral populations and studying their evolution across transmission chains at the micro-evolutionary scale.

GLUE

GLUE is a flexible data-centric bioinformatics environment for virus sequence data, with a focus on virus evolution and genomic variation. GLUE has been applied to a range of viruses. A GLUE-based resource focused on Hepatitis C virus is HCV-GLUE.

Tanoti

Tanoti is a BLAST guided reference based short read aligner. It is developed for maximising alignment in highly variable next generation sequence data sets (Illumina).

ViCTree

ViCTree is a bioinformatic framework that automatically selects new candidate virus sequences from GenBank, generates multiple sequence alignments, calculates a maximum likelihood phylogeny and integrates the sequences into the existing phylogenetic trees. For more information click here.

Viral Host Predictor

Viral Host Predictor provides a fast and simple way to predict the hosts and vectors of RNA viruses from viral sequences.

GRACy

GRACy is a bioinformatic tool designed for the analysis of Illumina data originated from Human cytomegalovirus samples. GRACy can be used to perform read quality filtering, genotyping, de novo assembly, variant detection, annotation and data submission to public database.

LoReTTA

LoReTTA (Long Read Template Targeted Assembler) is a reference assisted de novo assembler specifically designed to deal with PacBio reads generated from viral genomes.

BingleSeq

BingleSeq is a R-package enables the user-friendly analysis of count tables obtained by both Bulk RNA-Seq and single-cell RNA-Seq protocols. The development of BingleSeq focused on providing a flexible and intuitive user experience.

Genome Annotation

Sun, 25 Aug 2013 10:53:01 -0500

Dr. Rob Edwards describes some of the problems, challenges, and approches in genome annotation, with a particular emphasis on how the Fellowship for the Interpretation of Genomes (FIG) developed subsystems using the SEED database available at http://www.theseed.org/

Pollux: platform independent error correction of single and mixed genomes

Jit — Fri, 19 May 2017 09:41:27 -0500

Pollux: General-purpose error corrector that corrects errors introduced by Illumina, Ion Torrent, and Roche 454 sequencing technologies and can be applied to single- or mixed-genome data. In addition to correcting substitution errors, we locate and correct insertion, deletion, and homopolymer errors while remaining sensitive to low coverage areas of sequencing projects. Using published data sets, we correct 94% of Illumina MiSeq errors, 88% of Ion Torrent PGM errors, 85% of Roche 454 GS Junior errors. Introduced errors are 20 to 70 times more rare than successfully corrected errors. Furthermore, we show that the quality of assemblies improves when reads are corrected by our software.

P10K: The Protist 10,000 Genomes

BioStar — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 08:29:30 -0500

The Protist 10,000 Genomes (P10K) Project aims to decipher the genome sequences and construct a comprehensive database resource containing over 10,000 species of protists, encompassing representatives from every major clade. Samples were collected from diverse habitats, and the genome information was acquired through de novo sequencing, genome re-annotation, and integration of publicly available data. Serving as a centralized data portal for the project, the P10K database primarily focuses on delivering high-quality curation and facilitating efficient retrieval of protist genome data.

kSNP3.0: SNP detection and phylogenetic analysis of genomes without genome alignment or reference genome

Jit — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 16:48:40 -0600

Sept. 20, 2017 Version 3.1 released. Major upgrade. Version 3.1 fixes the problems with SNP annotation that arose when NCBI discontinued use of GI numbers. Please read carefully the Preface (page 3) and the File of annotated genomes section (pages 9-10) in the version 3.1 User Guide. Thanks to Tom Slezak for revsing the get_genbank_file3 script and to Tod Stuber (USDA) for testing version 3.1 even though he doesn't need the annotation feature. All users are encouraged to upgrade to version 3.1.
