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.

Prokka: tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes

Jit — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 03:49:57 -0600

Prokka is a software tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes. A typical 4 Mbp genome can be fully annotated in less than 10 minutes on a quad-core computer, and scales well to 32 core SMP systems. It produces GFF3, GBK and SQN files that are ready for editing in Sequin and ultimately submitted to Genbank/DDJB/ENA.

COCACOLA (binning metagenomic contigs using sequence COmposition, read CoverAge, CO-alignment, and paired-end read LinkAge)

Jit — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:50:57 -0600

COCACOLA is a general framework that combines different types of information: sequence COmposition, CoverAge across multiple samples, CO-alignment to reference genomes and paired-end reads LinkAge to automatically bin contigs into OTUs. Furthermore, COCACOLA seamlessly embraces customized prior knowledge to facilitate binning accuracy.

News: Python version of COCACOLA is available now!

NGS teaching material

Jit — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 04:29:06 -0500

High throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies are being applied to a wide range of important topics in biology. However, the analyses of non-model organisms, for which little previous sequence information is available, pose specific problems. This course addresses the specific strengths and weaknesses of alternative HTS technologies, the computational resources needed for HTS, and how to analyze non-model species using HTS. The course consists of a practical training module, HTS bioinformatics training, and lecturing/seminars of HTS approaches specifically targeting non-model organisms.

Meraculous: Haplotype-sensitive Assembly of Highly Heterozygous genomes.

Jit — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 18:59:42 -0600

Meraculous is a whole genome assembler for Next Generation Sequencing data geared for large genomes. It is a hybrid k-mer/read-based assembler that capitalizes on the high accuracy of Illumina sequence by eschewing an explicit error correction step which we argue to be redundant with the assembly process. Meraculous achieves high performance with large datasets by utilizing lightweight data structures and multi-threaded parallelization, allowing to assemble human-sized genomes on commodity clusters in under a day. The process pipeline implements a highly transparent and portable model of job control and monitoring where different assembly stages can be executed and re-executed separately or in unison on a wide variety of architectures.

EvidentialGene: tr2aacds, mRNA Transcript Assembly Software

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 08 May 2018 04:39:39 -0500

EvidentialGene is a genome informatics project, "Evidence Directed Gene Construction for Eukaryotes", to construct high quality, accurate gene sets for animals and plants, developed by Don Gilbert at Indiana University, see
http://arthropods.eugenes.org/EvidentialGene/

Construction refers to the combination of classical gene prediction, and more recent gene assembly (de-novo and genome-assisted) methods. The basic Evigene methods involve using available best-of-breed gene prediction and assembly software, combining all evidence for genes, from expressed sequences, genome assembly sequences, related species protein sequences, and any other, to annotate and score gene constructions. Over-produced constructions are classified by gene evidence for best qualities per "locus", including genome-aligned and gene-transcript aligned (genome-free) locus identification. All software developed for EvidentialGene is publicly available. See project wiki/blog for notes.

QuasiModo - Quasispecies Metric Determination on Omics

Neel — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:22:56 -0500

This repository contains the scripts and pipeline that reproduces the results of the HCMV benchmarking study. In this study we evaluated genome assemblers and variant callers on 10 in vitro generated, mixed strain HCMV sequence samples, each consisting of two lab strains in different abundance ratios. This tool can also be used to evaluate assemblies and variant calling results on other similar datasets.

ALE: Assembly Likelihood Estimator

BioStar — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 01:39:33 -0600

Just import the assembly, bam and ALE scores. You can convert the .ale file to a set of .wig files with ale2wiggle.py and IGV can read those directly. Depending on your genome size you may want to convert the .wig files to the BigWig format.

MetaGraph: Ultra Scalable Framework for DNA Search, Alignment, Assembly

Abhi — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:15:25 -0500

The MetaGraph framework is designed to work with a wide range of input data sets, indexing from a few samples up to the contents of entire archives with hundreds of thousands of records. The indexing workflow always follows the same principle, transforming single input samples into error-removed, refined sample graphs, which are then merged into a joint metagraph index. Each input sample is annotated in the joint index as a subgraph. This graph index enriched with metadata can then be used for downstream applications such as sequence search or differential assembly.

kWIP: The k-mer weighted inner product, a de novo estimator of genetic similarity

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 29 May 2018 08:37:53 -0500

The k-mer Weighted Inner Product.

This software implements a de novo, alignment free measure of sample genetic dissimilarity which operates upon raw sequencing reads. It is able to calculate the genetic dissimilarity between samples without any reference genome, and without assembling one.
