Jit — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 03:18:57 -0600

This directory contains Genome Browser and Blat application binaries built for standalone
command-line use on various supported Linux and UNIX platforms. To determine which set of binaries
to download, type "uname -a" on the command line to display your machine type. In most cases the
usage statement for the application can be viewed by running the binary with no arguments.

The UCSC Genome Browser and Blat software are free for academic, nonprofit, and personal use. A
license is required for commercial download and installation of these binaries, with the exception
of items built from the following source code directories, which are freely available for all uses:

- kent/src/utils (includes big* tools)
- kent/src/lib
- kent/src/hg/autoSql
- kent/src/hg/autoXml

For information about commercial licensing of the Genome Browser software, see

Genomicus: genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions

Jit — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 16:10:16 -0600

Genomicus is a genome browser that enables users to navigate in genomes in several dimensions: linearly along chromosome axes, transversaly across different species, and chronologicaly along evolutionary time.

Once a query gene has been entered, it is displayed in its genomic context in parallel to the genomic context of all its orthologous and paralogous copies in all the other sequenced metazoan genomes. Moreover, Genomicus stores and displays the predicted ancestral genome structure in all the ancestral species within the phylogenetic range of interest.

All the data on extant species displayed in this browser are from Ensembl.

ASCIIGenome: genome browser based on command line interface and designed for running from console terminals.

Neel — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 13:50:04 -0600

ASCIIGenome is a genome browser based on command line interface and designed for running from console terminals.

Since ASCIIGenome does not require a graphical interface it is particularly useful for quickly visualizing genomic data on remote servers while offering flexibility similar to popular GUI viewers like IGV.

Documentation is at readthedocs/asciigenome.

Versatile genome assembly evaluation with QUAST-LG

Jit — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 22:06:31 -0600

QUAST-LG is an extension of QUAST intended for evaluating large-scale genome assemblies (up to mammalian-size).

QUAST-LG is included in the QUAST package starting from version 5.0.0 (download the latest release). Run QUAST as usual and do not forget to add ‐‐large option to your command!

A short list of the new features (see CHANGES for all):

Significant speedup achieved by both use of new fast aligner (minimap2) and the refactoring of alignment analyzing modules
New k-mer-based completeness and correctness metrics
BUSCO added for enhanced reference-free analysis
The concept of upper bound assembly (theoretical limits on the assembly completeness and contiguity for a given genome and set of reads)

mScaffolder: A comparative genome scaffolding tool

Jit — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 04:48:01 -0500

A comparative genome scaffolding tool based on MUMmer

mScaffolder scaffolds a genome using an existing high quality genome as the reference. It aligns the two genomes using nucmer utility from MUMmer and then orders and orients the contigs of the candidate genome guided by their alignments to the reference genome. Please send your questions and comments to mchakrab@uci.edu.

Genome U-Plot: a whole genome visualization

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 19:50:41 -0500

Genome U-Plot for producing clear and intuitive graphs that allows researchers to generate novel insights and hypotheses by visualizing SVs such as deletions, amplifications, and chromoanagenesis events. The main features of the Genome U-Plot are its layered layout, its high spatial resolution and its improved aesthetic qualities.

GRSR: a tool for deriving genome rearrangement scenarios from multiple unichromosomal genome sequences

Jit — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 09:35:10 -0500

GRSR is a Tool for Deriving Genome Rearrangement Scenarios for Multiple Uni-chromosomal Genomes. This tool will do the following steps:

Step 1. Run mugsy to get multiple sequence alignment results.
Step 2 & 3. Extraction of the Coordinates of Core Blocks, Construction of Synteny Blocks and Generating Signed Permutations.
Step 4. Generate pairwise genome rearrangement scenarios and find repeats at the breakpoints of each rearrangement events.

compare two BWA mapping methods with the online hg18-mapped data

We first operate a rapid inspection of the different BAM files using samtools flagstat. Illumina provided chr21 read mapping obtained with their GA IIx deep sequencing platform <ftp://webdata:webdata@ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Data/SequencingRuns/NA18507_GAIIx_100_chr21.bam>, aligned to the b36/hg18 reference genome)

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.

Genome Browser : GBrowse

Jit — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 09:22:43 -0600

Generic Genome Browser Version 2: A Tutorial for Administrators

This is an extensive tutorial to take you through the main features and gotchas of configuring GBrowse as a server. This tutorial assumes that you have successfully set up Perl, GD, BioPerl and the other GBrowse dependencies. If you haven't, please see the GBrowse HOWTO During most of the tutorial, we will be using the "in-memory" GBrowse database (no relational database required!) Later we will show how to set up a genome size database using the berkeleydb and MySQL adaptors.
