HASLR: a tool for rapid genome assembly of long sequencing reads

LEGE — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 05:50:15 -0600

HASLR is a tool for rapid genome assembly of long sequencing reads. HASLR is a hybrid tool which means it requires long reads generated by Third Generation Sequencing technologies (such as PacBio or Oxford Nanopore) together with Next Generation Sequencing reads (such as Illumina) from the same sample.

fragScaff: Genome Assembly with Contiguity Preserving Transposition

Jit — Mon, 14 May 2018 04:28:14 -0500

Contiguity preserving transposition and sequencing (CPT-seq) is an entirely in vitro means of generating libraries comprised of 9216 indexed pools, each of which contains thousands of sparsely sequenced long fragments ranging from 5 kilobases to >1 megabase. This software, fragScaff, leverages coincidences between the content of different pools as a source of contiguity information for scaffolding de novo genome assemblies. FragScaff is complementary to Lachesis, providing midrange contiguity to support robust, accurate chromosome-scale de novo genome assemblies without the need for laborious in vivo cloning steps.

Further information about fragScaff, including source code, is available at:https://sourceforge.net/projects/fragscaff/files.

Manuscript describing fragScaff was published as: Adey A, Kitzman JO, Burton JN, Daza R, Kumar A, Christiansen L, Ronaghi M, Amini S, L Gunderson K, Steemers FJ, Shendure J#. In vitro, long-range sequence information for de novo genome assembly via transposase contiguity. Genome Research 2014 Dec;24(12):2041-9. doi: 10.1101/gr.178319.114. PubMed PMID: 25327137.

FMLRC: a long-read error correction tool using the multi-string Burrows Wheeler Transform

Neel — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 13:29:28 -0500

FMLRC, or FM-index Long Read Corrector, is a tool for performing hybrid correction of long read sequencing using the BWT and FM-index of short-read sequencing data. Given a BWT of the short-read sequencing data, FMLRC will build an FM-index and use that as an implicit de Bruijn graph. Each long read is then corrected independently by identifying low frequency k-mers in the long read and replacing them with the closest matching high frequency k-mers in the implicit de Bruijn graph. In contrast to other de Bruijn graph based implementations, FMLRC is not restricted to a particular k-mer size and instead uses a two pass method with both a short "k-mer" and a longer "K-mer". This allows FMLRC to correct through low complexity regions that are computational difficult for short k-mers.

SimLoRD: A read simulator for third generation sequencing reads

Aaryan Lokwani — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 10:40:27 -0500

SimLoRD is a read simulator for third generation sequencing reads and is currently focused on the Pacific Biosciences SMRT error model.

Reads are simulated from both strands of a provided or randomly generated reference sequence.

The reference can be read from a FASTA file or randomly generated with a given GC content. It can consist of several chromosomes, whose structure is respected when drawing reads. (Simulation of genome rearrangements may be incorporated at a later stage.)
The read lengths can be determined in four ways: drawing from a log-normal distribution (typical for genomic DNA), sampling from an existing FASTQ file (typical for RNA), sampling from a a text file with integers (RNA), or using a fixed length
Quality values and number of passes depend on fragment length.
Provided subread error probabilities are modified according to number of passes
Outputs reads in FASTQ format and alignments in SAM format

Porechop: tool for finding and removing adapters from Oxford Nanopore reads

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 29 May 2018 07:33:44 -0500

Porechop is a tool for finding and removing adapters from Oxford Nanopore reads. Adapters on the ends of reads are trimmed off, and when a read has an adapter in its middle, it is treated as chimeric and chopped into separate reads. Porechop performs thorough alignments to effectively find adapters, even at low sequence identity.

Porechop also supports demultiplexing of Nanopore reads that were barcoded with the Native Barcoding Kit, PCR Barcoding Kit or Rapid Barcoding Kit.

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).
