RapClust: Accurate, Lightweight Clustering of de novo Transcriptomes using Fragment Equivalence Classes

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 17:57:10 -0500

RapClust is a tool for clustering contigs from de novo transcriptome assemblies. RapClust is designed to be run downstream of the Sailfish or Salmon tools for rapid transcript-level quantification. Specifically, RapClust relies on the fragment equivalence classes computed by these tools in order to determine how seqeunce is shared across the transcriptome, and how reads map to potentially-related contigs across different conditions.

Evolutionary genomics of social insects. Extensive theoretical work has explained how and why complex societies evolve. However, only little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms responsible for social phenotypes. We have been identifying genes and mechanisms involved in the evolution of insect societies using modern genomics tools (Illumina, RNAseq, RADseq...). For example we recently:

1. sequenced and analyzed the genome of the invasive red fire ant Solenopsis invicta (PNAS 2011)

2. discovered that a fundamental social trait in this species (how many queens are accepted in the colony) is determined by variants of a social chromosome (Nature 2013).

3. described the gene expression changes that occur in a virgin queen when she is given the opportunity of replacing her mother (Mol Ecol 2010).

Bactopia: a Flexible Pipeline for Complete Analysis of Bacterial Genomes

Abhi — Wed, 15 May 2024 14:36:12 -0500

Bactopia is a flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes. The goal of Bactopia is to process your data with a broad set of tools, so that you can get to the fun part of analyses quicker!

Bactopia can be split into two main parts: Bactopia Analysis Pipeline, and Bactopia Tools.

Bactopia Analysis Pipeline is the main per-isolate workflow in Bactopia. Built with Nextflow, input FASTQs (local or available from SRA/ENA) are put through numerous analyses including: quality control, assembly, annotation, minmer sketch queries, sequence typing, and more.

Bactopia Tools are a set a independent workflows fo

CheckM:Assessing the quality of microbial genomes recovered from isolates, single cells, and metagenomes

Rahul Nayak — Wed, 23 May 2018 04:39:26 -0500

CheckM provides a set of tools for assessing the quality of genomes recovered from isolates, single cells, or metagenomes. It provides robust estimates of genome completeness and contamination by using collocated sets of genes that are ubiquitous and single-copy within a phylogenetic lineage. Assessment of genome quality can also be examined using plots depicting key genomic characteristics (e.g., GC, coding density) which highlight sequences outside the expected distributions of a typical genome. CheckM also provides tools for identifying genome bins that are likely candidates for merging based on marker set compatibility, similarity in genomic characteristics, and proximity within a reference genome tree.

CSBFinder: Discovery of colinear syntenic blocks across thousands of prokaryotic genomes

Jit — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 22:12:27 -0500

CSBFinder is a standalone Desktop java application with a graphical user interface, that can also be executed via command line.

CSBFinder implements a novel methodology for the discovery, ranking, and taxonomic distribution analysis of colinear syntenic blocks (CSBs) - groups of genes that are consistently located close to each other, in the same order, across a wide range of taxa. CSBFinder incorporates an efficient algorithm that identifies CSBs in large genomic datasets. The discovered CSBs are ranked according to a probabilistic score and clustered to families according to their gene content similarity.
