PureCN: copy number calling and SNV classification using targeted short read sequencing

Jit — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 04:09:37 -0500

This package estimates tumor purity, copy number, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and classifies single nucleotide variants (SNVs) by somatic status and clonality. PureCN is designed for targeted short read sequencing data, integrates well with standard somatic variant detection and copy number pipelines, and has support for tumor samples without matching normal samples.

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

BioStar — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 05:19:06 -0500

P_RNA_scaffolder is a novel scaffolding tool using Pair-end RNA-seq to scaffold genome fragments. The method is suitable for most genomes. The program could utilize Illumina Paired-end RNA-sequencing reads from target speciesies. Our method provides another practical alternative to existing mate-pair_based approaches or other Protein-based approaches (for instance, PEP_scaffolder ) for scaffolding genome sequences. The most important feature of this method is to improve the completeness of gene regions and long-coding gene regions (for instance, circRNA).

AMStat: display statistics of large sequence files from next generation sequencing projects

Neel — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:34:56 -0600

SAMStat is an efficient C program to quickly display statistics of large sequence files from next generation sequencing projects. When applied to SAM/BAM files all statistics are reported for unmapped, poorly and accurately mapped reads separately. This allows for identification of a variety of problems, such as remaining linker and adaptor sequences, causing poor mapping. Apart from this SAMStat can be used to verify individual processing steps in large analysis pipelines.

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.
