modelStudio: a package automates the explanation of machine learning predictive models

Jit — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 23:58:11 -0600

The modelStudio package automates the explanation of machine learning predictive models. This package generates advanced interactive and animated model explanations in the form of a serverless HTML site.

It combines R with D3.js to produce plots and descriptions for various local and global explanations. Tools for model exploration unite with tools for EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) to give a broad overview of the model behavior. modelStudio is a fast and condensed way to get all the answers without much effort. Break down your model and look into its ingredients with only a few lines of code.

PBSuite: Software for Long-Read Sequencing Data from PacBio

Jit — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 09:54:47 -0600

PBJelly - the genome upgrading tool.
PBHoney - the structural variation discovery tool

Both are contained within the PBSuite code found in downloads.

http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0047768

PBJelly is a highly automated pipeline that aligns long sequencing reads (such as PacBio RS reads or long 454 reads in fasta format) to high-confidence draft assembles. PBJelly fills or reduces as many captured gaps as possible to produce upgraded draft genomes.

Read The Paper
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/15/180/abstract

PBHoney is an implementation of two variant-identification approaches designed to exploit the high mappability of long reads (i.e., greater than 10,000 bp). PBHoney considers both intra-read discordance and soft-clipped tails of long reads to identify structural variants.

MashMap: a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s)

Jit — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 17:23:31 -0600

MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a k-mer based Jaccard similarity using a combination of Winnowing and MinHash. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the Mash distance. An appropriate k-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds. The efficiency of the algorithm improves as both of these thresholds are increased.

The MARVEL assembler

Jit — Fri, 04 May 2018 19:18:41 -0500

MARVEL consists of a set of tools that facilitate the overlapping, patching, correction and assembly of noisy (not so noisy ones as well) long reads.

The assembly process can be summarized as follows:

overlap
patch reads
overlap (again)
scrubbing
assembly graph construction and touring
optional read correction
fasta file creation

Hercules: a profile HMM-based hybrid error correction algorithm for long reads

Jit — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 14:14:11 -0500

Choosing whether to use second or third generation sequencing platforms can lead to trade-offs between accuracy and read length. Several studies require long and accurate reads including de novo assembly, fusion and structural variation detection. In such cases researchers often combine both technologies and the more erroneous long reads are corrected using the short reads. Current approaches rely on various graph based alignment techniques and do not take the error profile of the underlying technology into account. Memory- and time- efficient machine learning algorithms that address these shortcomings have the potential to achieve better and more accurate integration of these two technologies. Results: We designed and developed Hercules, the first machine learning-based long read error correction algorithm. The algorithm models every long read as a profile Hidden Markov Model with respect to the underlying platformtextquoterights error profile. The algorithm learns a posterior transition/emission probability distribution for each long read and uses this to correct errors in these reads. Using datasets from two DNA-seq BAC clones (CH17-157L1 and CH17-227A2), and human brain cerebellum polyA RNA-seq, we show that Hercules-corrected reads have the highest mapping rate among all competing algorithms and highest accuracy when most of the basepairs of a long read are covered with short reads.

Wtdbg2: a de novo sequence assembler for long noisy reads produced by PacBio or Oxford Nanopore

Neel — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:48:43 -0500

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 is able to assemble the human and even the 32Gb Axolotl genome at a speed tens of times faster than CANU and FALCONwhile producing contigs of comparable base accuracy.

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.
