jackalope: A swift, versatile phylogenomic and high-throughput sequencing simulator

Abhimanyu Singh — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 00:58:12 -0500

jackalope simply and efficiently simulates (i) variants from reference genomes and (ii) reads from both Illumina and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) platforms. It can either read reference genomes from FASTA files or simulate new ones. Genomic variants can be simulated using summary statistics, phylogenies, Variant Call Format (VCF) files, and coalescent simulations—the latter of which can include selection, recombination, and demographic fluctuations. jackalope can simulate single, paired-end, or mate-pair Illumina reads, as well as reads from Pacific Biosciences These simulations include sequencing errors, mapping qualities, multiplexing, and optical/PCR duplicates. All outputs can be written to standard file formats.

NGMLR: long-read mapper designed to align PacBio or Oxford Nanopore

Jit — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 07:30:54 -0500

CoNvex Gap-cost alignMents for Long Reads (ngmlr) is a long-read mapper designed to sensitively align PacBilo or Oxford Nanopore to (large) reference genomes. It was designed to quickly and correctly align the reads, including those spanning (complex) structural variations. Ngmlr uses an SV aware k-mer search to find approximate mapping locations for a read and then a banded Smith-Waterman alignment algorithm to compute the final alignment. Ngmlr uses a convex gap cost model that penalizes gap extensions for longer gaps less than for shorter ones to compute precise alignments. The gap model allows ngmlr to account for both the sequencing error and real genomic variations at the same time and makes it especially effective at more precisely identifying the position of breakpoints stemming from structural variations. The k-mer search helps to detect and split reads that cannot be aligned linearly, enabling ngmlr to reliably align reads to a wide range of different structural variations including nested SVs (e.g. inversions flanked by deletions).

LSC: Improving PacBio Long Read Accuracy by Short Read Alignment

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:27:35 -0500

Added Command line argument support.
Multi-stage execution modes.
Support for parallelization. Now execution proceeds in batches of long reads the size of which can be set by --long_read_batch_size N.
Better compressed intermediate files.
Added utilities folder.
Added support for multiple short read files.
Removed use of configuration file.

pbmm2:A minimap2 frontend for PacBio native data formats

BioStar — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 03:36:22 -0600

pbmm2 is a SMRT C++ wrapper for minimap2's C API. Its purpose is to support native PacBio in- and output, provide sets of recommended parameters, generate sorted output on-the-fly, and postprocess alignments. Sorted output can be used directly for polishing using GenomicConsensus, if BAM has been used as input to pbmm2. Benchmarks show that pbmm2 outperforms BLASR in sequence identity, number of mapped bases, and especially runtime. pbmm2 is the official replacement for BLASR.

CoLoRMap: Correcting Long Reads by Mapping short reads

Jit — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 14:17:05 -0500

Second generation sequencing technologies paved the way to an exceptional increase in the number of sequenced genomes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. However, short reads are difficult to assemble and often lead to highly fragmented assemblies. The recent developments in long reads sequencing methods offer a promising way to address this issue. However, so far long reads are characterized by a high error rate, and assembling from long reads require a high depth of coverage. This motivates the development of hybrid approaches that leverage the high quality of short reads to correct errors in long reads.We introduce CoLoRMap, a hybrid method for correcting noisy long reads, such as the ones produced by PacBio sequencing technology, using high-quality Illumina paired-end reads mapped onto the long reads. Our algorithm is based on two novel ideas: using a classical shortest path algorithm to find a sequence of overlapping short reads that minimizes the edit score to a long read and extending corrected regions by local assembly of unmapped mates of mapped short reads. Our results on bacterial, fungal and insect data sets show that CoLoRMap compares well with existing hybrid correction methods.The source code of CoLoRMap is freely available for non-commercial use at https://github.com/sfu-compbio/colormap

HaploTypo: a variant-calling pipeline for phased genomes

Jit — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 07:33:40 -0600

An increasing number of phased (i.e. with resolved haplotypes) reference genomes are available. However, most genetic variant calling tools do not explicitly account for haplotype structure. Here, we present HaploTypo, a pipeline tailored to resolve haplotypes in genetic variation analyses. HaploTypo infers the haplotype correspondence for each heterozygous variant called on a phased reference genome.

Availability and Implementation

HaploTypo is implemented in Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, and is freely available at https://github.com/gabaldonlab/haplotypo, and as a Docker image.

3d-dna: 3D de novo assembly (3D DNA) pipeline

Jit — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:09:37 -0600

This code is designed to enable anyone to reproduce the Hs2-HiC and the AaegL4 genomes reported in: Dudchenko et al., De novo assembly of the Aedes aegypti genome using Hi-C yields chromosome-length scaffolds. Science, 2017.

Unless otherwise noted, all terminology below is consistent with this paper, and all references to figures and tables in this readme refer to this paper. Specifically, some of the terminology used below is outlined in Figure S2. The assembly procedure is described in detail in the Supporting Online Materials, specifically in the section labelled “Pipeline description”.

In addition, the pipeline uses tools and methods from Juicer (Durand & Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016) and Juicebox (Durand & Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2016), as well as additional dependencies noted below.
