Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome

BioStar — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:11:13 -0500

We have developed the Sequence Ontology Bioinformatics Analysis (SOBA) tool to provide a simple statistical and graphical summary of an annotated genome. We envisage its use during annotation jamborees, genome comparison and for use by developers for rapid feedback during annotation software development and testing. SOBA also provides annotation consistency feedback to ensure correct use of terminology within annotations, and guides users to add new terms to the Sequence Ontology when required. SOBA is available at http://www.sequenceontology.org/cgi-bin/soba.cgi.

RITA: Rapid identification of high-confidence taxonomic assignments for metagenomic data

Jit — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 08:25:33 -0600

RITA is a standalone software package and Web server for taxonomic assignment of metagenomic sequence reads. By combining homology predictions from BLAST or UBLAST with compositional classifications from a Naive Bayes classifier, RITA is able to achieve very high accuracy on short reads. Unlike other hybrid approaches which combine these predictions for all sequences to be classified, RITA uses a pipeline to first identify cases where both types of classifier are in agreement, which constitute the highest-confidence set. Sequences not classified in this manner are subjected to a series of downstream classification steps.

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library to interactive display biological data on the web

Jit — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 15:03:51 -0600

BioCircos.js is an open source interactive Javascript library which provides an easy way to interactive display biological data on the web. It implements a raster-based SVG visualization using the open source Javascript framework jquery.js. BioCircos.js is multiplatform and works in all major internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera). Its speed is determined by the client’s hardware and internet browser. For smoothest user experience, we recommend Google Chrome.

BioCircos.js provides SNP, CNV, HEATMAP, LINK, LINE, SCATTER, ARC, TEXT, and HISTGRAMmodules to display genome-wide genetic variations (SNPs, CNVs and chromosome rearrangement), gene expression and biomolecule interactions. BioCircos.js also provides BACKGROUND module to display background and axis circles. Tooltips showing detailed information of SVG elements are also provided.

AfterQC: Automatic Filtering, Trimming, Error Removing and Quality Control for fastq data

Jit — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 03:26:03 -0500

Automatic Filtering, Trimming, Error Removing and Quality Control for fastq data AfterQC can simply go through all fastq files in a folder and then output three folders: good, bad and QC folders, which contains good reads, bad reads and the QC results of each fastq file/pair. Currently it supports processing data from HiSeq 2000/2500/3000/4000, Nextseq 500/550, MiniSeq...and other Illumina 1.8 or newer formats The author has reimplemented this tool in C++ with multithreading support to make it much faster. The new tool is called fastp and can be found at: https://github.com/OpenGene/fastp . If you prefer a C++ based tool, please use fastp instead. https://github.com/OpenGene/AfterQC

SeqMonk:A tool to visualise and analyse high throughput mapped sequence data

Jit — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 04:39:38 -0500

SeqMonk is a program to enable the visualisation and analysis of mapped sequence data. It was written for use with mapped next generation sequence data but can in theory be used for any dataset which can be expressed as a series of genomic positions. It's main features are:

Import of mapped data from mapped data (BAM/SAM/bowtie etc)
Creation of data groups for visualisation and analysis
Visualisation of mapped regions against an annotated genome.
Flexible quantitation of the mapped data to allow comparisons between data sets
Statistical analysis of data to find regions of interest
Creation of reports containing data and genome annotation

McClintock: Meta-pipeline to identify transposable element insertions using next generation sequencing data

BioStar — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 00:21:18 -0500

an integrated bioinformatics pipeline for the detection of TE insertions in whole-genome shotgun data, called McClintock (https://github.com/bergmanlab/mcclintock), which automatically runs and standardizes output for multiple TE detection methods. We demonstrate the utility of McClintock by evaluating six TE detection methods using simulated and real genome data from the model microbial eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

GraphUnzip: Phases an assembly graph using Hi-C data and/or long reads.

Jit — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 21:22:24 -0600

GraphUnzip, a fast, memory-efficient and accurate tool to unzip assembly graphs into their constituent haplotypes using long reads and/or Hi-C data. As GraphUnzip only connects sequences in the assembly graph that already had a potential link based on overlaps, it yields high-quality gap-less supercontigs. To demonstrate the efficiency of GraphUnzip, we tested it on a simulated diploid Escherichia coli genome, and on two real datasets for the genomes of the rotifer Adineta vaga and the potato Solanum tuberosum. In all cases, GraphUnzip yielded highly continuous phased assemblies.
