P_RNA_scaffolder: a fast and accurate genome scaffolder using paired-end RNA-sequencing reads

Jit — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 08:14:41 -0500

P_RNA_scaffolder, a fast and accurate tool using paired-end RNA-sequencing reads to scaffold genomes. This tool aims to improve the completeness of both protein-coding and non-coding genes. After this tool was applied to scaffolding human contigs, the structures of both protein-coding genes and circular RNAs were almost completely recovered and equivalent to those in a complete genome, especially for long proteins and long circular RNAs.

Rainbow: an integrated tool for efficient clustering and assembling RAD-seq reads

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:23:42 -0500

Rainbow is developed to provide an ultra-fast and memory-efficient solution to clustering and assembling short reads produced by RAD-seq. First, Rainbow clusters reads using a spaced seed method. Then, Rainbow implements a heterozygote calling like strategy to divide potential groups into haplotypes in a top–down manner. And along a guided tree, it iteratively merges sibling leaves in a bottom–up manner if they are similar enough. Here, the similarity is defined by comparing the 2nd reads of a RAD segment. This approach tries to collapse heterozygote while discriminate repetitive sequences. At last, Rainbow uses a greedy algorithm to locally assemble merged reads into contigs. Rainbow not only outputs the optimal but also suboptimal assembly results. Based on simulation and a real guppy RAD-seq data, we show that Rainbow is more competent than the other tools in dealing with RAD-seq data

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

Rahul Nayak — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 03:48:22 -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.

Deepbinner: a signal-level demultiplexer for Oxford Nanopore reads

Jit — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 02:45:53 -0600

Deepbinner is a tool for demultiplexing barcoded Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads. It does this with a deep convolutional neural network classifier, using many of the architectural advances that have proven successful in image classification. Unlike other demultiplexers (e.g. Albacore and Porechop), Deepbinner identifies barcodes from the raw signal (a.k.a. squiggle) which gives it greater sensitivity and fewer unclassified reads.

SqueezeMeta: a fully automated metagenomics pipeline, from reads to bins

BioStar — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 05:25:10 -0500

SqueezeMeta is a full automatic pipeline for metagenomics/metatranscriptomics, covering all steps of the analysis. SqueezeMeta includes multi-metagenome support allowing the co-assembly of related metagenomes and the retrieval of individual genomes via binning procedures. Thus, SqueezeMeta features several unique characteristics:

Co-assembly procedure with read mapping for estimation of the abundances of genes in each metagenome
Co-assembly of a large number of metagenomes via merging of individual metagenomes
Includes binning and bin checking, for retrieving individual genomes
The results are stored in a database, where they can be easily exported and shared, and can be inspected anywhere using a web interface.
Internal checks for the assembly and binning steps inform about the consistency of contigs and bins, allowing to spot potential chimeras.
Metatranscriptomic support via mapping of cDNA reads against reference metagenomes

Steps to find palindrome in genomes !

BioStar — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 02:56:54 -0600

Palindromes are sequences of nucleotides that read the same backward as forward. They can be present in genomes and have various biological functions. Here are some methods for discovering palindromes in genomes:

Direct sequence search: One of the simplest ways to discover palindromes is to search the genome sequence directly for palindromic sequences using pattern matching tools, such as regular expressions or string algorithms. This approach can be useful for discovering simple palindromes, but may miss more complex palindromic structures.
Dot plot analysis: Dot plot analysis is a graphical method that can be used to identify palindromic regions in a genome. It involves plotting the genome sequence against itself and examining the diagonal patterns that emerge. Palindromic regions will appear as symmetrical patterns along the diagonal.
Restriction enzyme analysis: Some restriction enzymes, such as EcoRI and HindIII, recognize palindromic sequences and cleave DNA at these sites. By digesting the genome with these enzymes and examining the resulting fragments, palindromic regions can be identified.
Next-generation sequencing: High-throughput sequencing technologies, such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore, can generate long reads that can span entire palindromic regions. By mapping these reads to the genome, palindromic regions can be identified and characterized.
Comparative genomics: Comparing the genomes of related species can also reveal palindromic regions that are conserved across evolutionarily divergent lineages. This approach can help identify functional palindromes that are under selective pressure.

Overall, the discovery of palindromic sequences in genomes can be accomplished using a variety of methods, each with their own advantages and limitations. A combination of these methods can provide a comprehensive understanding of the palindromic landscape of a genome.

segemehl

Anjana — Tue, 10 May 2016 08:10:15 -0500

segemehl is a software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Unlike other methods, segemehl is able to detect not only mismatches but also insertions and deletions. Furthermore, segemehl is not limited to a specific read length and is able to map primer- or polyadenylation contaminated reads correctly. segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA).
