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.

SALSA: A tool to scaffold long read assemblies with Hi-C

Jit — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 04:01:15 -0500

This code is used to scaffold your assemblies using Hi-C data. This version implements some improvements in the original SALSA algorithm. If you want to use the old version, it can be found in the old_salsa branch. To use the latest version, first run the following commands: cd SALSA make To run the code, you will need Python 2.7, BOOST libraries and Networkx(version lower than 1.2). If you consider using this tool, please cite our publication which describes the methods used for scaffolding. Ghurye, J., Pop, M., Koren, S., Bickhart, D., & Chin, C. S. (2017).

wtdbg2: A fuzzy Bruijn graph approach to long noisy reads assembly

BioStar — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 04:53:47 -0600

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 -x rs -g 4.6m -t 16 -i reads.fa.gz -fo prefix
./wtpoa-cns -t 16 -i prefix.ctg.lay.gz -fo prefix.ctg.fa

HairSplitter: assembling long reads in an unknown number of haplotypes

BioStar — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 00:13:40 -0600

Pros and cons of HairSplitter Limitations of HairSplitter:

Not very fast: it re-polishes the whole assembly

Limited in the number of haplotypes

Strengths of HairSplitter:

Very modular, can be used with any assembler

Naive: makes no assumption on ploidy, parameter-free

Safe: won’t artificially duplicate contigs

HairSplitter splits collapsed assemblies from “draft” assemblies obtained by any means

HairSplitter can recover haplotypes and distinguish repeated elements

Only needs sequencing reads, potentially error-prone

SViper: Swipe your Structural Variants called on long (ONT/PacBio) reads with short exact (Illumina) reads.

Neel — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 03:48:28 -0600

Call sviper

~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants

This will output a polished_variants.vcf file, that contains all the refined variants.

Sometimes it is helpful to look at the polished sequence, e.g. with the IGV browser. In that case you want SViper to output the polished and aligned sequences in a bam file via the option --output-polished-bam:

~$ ./sviper -s short-reads.bam -l long-reads.bam -r ref.fa -c variants.vcf -o polished_variants --output-polished-bam

MECAT: fast mapping, error correction, and de novo assembly for single-molecule sequencing reads

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 11 May 2018 05:07:45 -0500

MECAT is an ultra-fast Mapping, Error Correction and de novo Assembly Tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. MECAT employs novel alignment and error correction algorithms that are much more efficient than the state of art of aligners and error correction tools. MECAT can be used for effectively de novo assemblying large genomes. For example, on a 32-thread computer with 2.0 GHz CPU , MECAT takes 9.5 days to assemble a human genome based on 54x SMRT data, which is 40 times faster than the current PBcR-Mhap pipeline. MECAT performance were compared with PBcR-Mhap pipeline, FALCON and Canu(v1.3) in five real datasets. The quality of assembled contigs produced by MECAT is the same or better than that of the PBcR-Mhap pipeline and FALCON.

npScarf: real-time scaffolder using SPAdes contigs and Nanopore sequencing reads

Shruti Paniwala — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 05:14:57 -0500

npScarf (jsa.np.npscarf) is a program that connect contigs from a draft genomes to generate sequences that are closer to finish. These pipelines can run on a single laptop for microbial datasets. In real-time mode, it can be integrated with simple structural analyses such as gene ordering, plasmid forming.
