Jabba: Hybrid Error Correction for Long Sequencing Reads

Jit — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 03:58:14 -0600

Jabba is a hybrid error correction tool to correct third generation (PacBio / ONT) sequencing data, using second generation (Illumina) data.

Input

Jabba takes as input a concatenated de Bruijn graph and a set of sequences:

the de Bruijn graph should appear in fasta format with 1 entry per node, the meta information should be in the format:
>NODE
the set of sequences should be in fasta or fastq format. These sequences will be corrected (e.g. PacBio reads). The corrections will be written to a file Jabba fasta.
The output is a file in fasta format with corrections of the long reads, and additionally a file in the input format containing uncorrected reads.

lordFAST: sensitive and Fast Alignment Search Tool for LOng noisy Read sequencing Data

BioJoker — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 04:43:57 -0600

lordFAST is a sensitive tool for mapping long reads with high error rates. lordFAST is specially designed for aligning reads from PacBio sequencing technology but provides the user the ability to change alignment parameters depending on the reads and application.

lordFAST, a novel long-read mapper that is specifically designed to align reads generated by PacBio and potentially other SMS technologies to a reference. lordFAST not only has higher sensitivity than the available alternatives, it is also among the fastest and has a very low memory footprint.

CovCal: Coverage / Read Count Calculator

Jit — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 18:08:13 -0500

Coverage / Read Count Calculator

Calculate how much sequencing you need to hit a target depth of coverage (or vice versa).

Instructions: set the read length/configuration and genome size, then select what you want to calculate.

Written by Stephen Turner, based on the Lander-Waterman formula, inspired by a similar calculator written by James Hadfield. Coverage is calculated as C=LN/G and reads as N=CG/L where C = Coverage (X),L = Read length (bp), G = Haploid genome size (bp), and N = Number of reads. Source code on GitHub.

Ra assembler - a de novo DNA assembler for third generation sequencing data

biogeek — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 20:36:54 -0600

Integration of the Ra assembler - a de novo DNA assembler for third generation sequencing data developed on Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), Ruder Boskovic Institute (RBI) and Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS).

Ra is in development since 2014 in the form of several separate components that used to be run individually.
This project aims to ease the usage of Ra by integrating it into a complete de novo assembly tool.

Unlike other state-of-the-art assemblers, Ra does not have an error correction step. Instead, it relies on detecting overlaps using a very sensitive and specific overlapper ("graphmap -w owler", https://github.com/isovic/graphmap) and constructing and reducing an overlap graph (Ra layout, https://github.com/mariokostelac/ra).

NxRepair: error correction in de novo assemblies using Nextera Mate Pair Reads

BioStar — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 10:35:12 -0600

NxRepair is a python module that automatically detects large structural errors in de novo assemblies using Nextera mate pair reads. The decector will break a contig at the site of an identified misassembly and will generate a new fasta file containing both the corrected contigs and the correct, unaffected contigs.
