Genome sequence-based (sub-)species delineation.

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 08:31:14 -0600

The GGDC web service reports digital DDH for a universal and accurate delineation of prokaryotic (sub-)species without inheriting the pitfalls of classic DDH, and also calculates differences in genomic G+C content.

Roary: the Pan Genome Pipeline

Jit — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 05:52:07 -0600

Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated assemblies in GFF3 format (produced by Prokka (Seemann, 2014)) and calculates the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with thousands of samples, something which is computationally infeasible with existing methods, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor. To perform this analysis using existing methods would take weeks and hundreds of GB of RAM. Roary is not intended for meta-genomics or for comparing extremely diverse sets of genomes.

gEVAL: Genome Evaluation Browser

Jit — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 05:39:08 -0500

The gEVAL Browser allows the evaluation of genome assemblies through its tools and pre-computed analyses.

The strength of this browser is the ability to navigate an up to date assembly and identify problematic regions and assist in strategizing potential solutions for these issues.

This facilitates the improvement of overall assemblies to a “gold” standard for release as reference genomes

Synteny and Rearrangement Identifier (SyRI)

Jit — Tue, 05 May 2020 10:37:10 -0500

SyRI is a comprehensive tool for predicting genomic differences between related genomes using whole-genome assemblies (WGA). The assemblies are aligned using whole-genome alignment tools, and these alignments are then used as input to SyRI. SyRI identifies syntenic path (longest set of co-linear regions), structural rearrangements (inversions, translocations, and duplications), local variations (SNPs, indels, CNVs etc) within syntenic and structural rearrangements, and un-aligned regions.

Genome assembly training tutorial at Galaxy !

Jit — Sun, 27 Dec 2020 05:25:45 -0600

In this tutorial we assemble and annotate the genome of E. coli strain C-1. This strain is routinely used in experimental evolution studies involving bacteriophages. For instance, now classic works by Holly Wichman and Jim Bull (Bull 1997, Bull 1998, Wichman 1999) have been performed using this strain and bacteriophage phiX174.

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.

OGDRAW - Draw Organelle Genome Maps

Abhi — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 03:34:35 -0500

OrganellarGenomeDRAW converts annotations in the GenBank or EMBL/ENA format into graphical maps. The input has to be a GenBank or EMBL/ENA flat file wherase the output can vary among several types of files. The application is optimized to create detailed high-quality maps of organellar genomes (plastid and mitochondria). Nevertheless, you can upload most database entries.

Please take a look at our FAQ section and do not hesitate to report bugs or suggestions for improvements by email.

UniqueKmer: Generate unique KMERs for every contig in a FASTA file

Abhi — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 00:08:15 -0600

Generate unique k-mers for every contig in a FASTA file.

Unique k-mer is consisted of k-mer keys (i.e. ATCGATCCTTAAGG) that are only presented in one contig, but not presented in any other contigs (for both forward and reverse strands).

This tool accepts the input of a FASTA file consisting of many contigs, and extract unique k-mers for each contig.

The output unique k-mer file and Genome file can be used for fastv: https://github.com/OpenGene/fastv, which is an ultra-fast tool to identify and visualize microbial sequences from sequencing data.

Comparative Genomics Workshops !

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:39:58 -0600

This meeting's objective was to obtain a big picture look at the current state of the field of comparative genomics with a focus on commonalities across genomic investigations into humans, model organisms (both traditional and non-traditional), agricultural species, wildlife species and microbes.
