HASLR: a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads

BioStar — Mon, 04 May 2020 02:04:03 -0500

HASLR, a hybrid assembler which uses both second and third generation sequencing reads to efficiently generate accurate genome assemblies. Our experiments show that HASLR is not only the fastest assembler but also the one with the lowest number of misassemblies on all the samples compared to other tested assemblers. Furthermore, the generated assemblies in terms of contiguity and accuracy are on par with the other tools on most of the samples. Availability. HASLR is an open source tool available at https://github.com/vpc-ccg/haslr.

Smudgeplot: Inference of ploidy and heterozygosity structure using whole genome sequencing data

Neel — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 04:42:09 -0600

This tool extracts heterozygous kmer pairs from kmer count databases and performs gymnastics with them. We are able to disentangle genome structure by comparing the sum of kmer pair coverages (CovA + CovB) to their relative coverage (CovB / (CovA + CovB)). Such an approach also allows us to analyze obscure genomes with duplications, various ploidy levels, etc.

Smudgeplots are computed from raw or even better from trimmed reads and show the haplotype structure using heterozygous kmer pairs. For example:

WGS Celera Assembler version 8.3rc2

Jit — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 04:45:40 -0500

These are release notes for Celera Assembler version 8.3rc2, which was released on May 24, 2015.

This distribution package provides a stable, tested, documented version of the software. The distribution is usable on most Unix-like platforms, and some platforms have pre-compiled binary distributions ready for installation.

The source code package includes full source code (revision 4627), Makefiles, and scripts. A subset of the kmer package (http://kmer.sourceforge.net/, version r1994), used by some modules of Celera Assembler, is included. This distribution includes [http://samtools.sourceforge.net/ SAMtools], [http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/jellyfish/ Jellyfish 2.0], [https://github.com/pbjd/pbutgcns PBUTGCNS], [https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/pbdagcon PBDAGCON], [https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/BLASR BLASR], and parts of the [https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/FALCON/tree/v0.1.3 Falcon assembler].

pbalign: maps PacBio reads to reference sequences and saves alignments to a BAM file

Jit — Thu, 24 May 2018 10:06:52 -0500

pbalign aligns PacBio reads to reference sequences, filters aligned reads according to user-specific filtering criteria, and converts the output to either the SAM format or PacBio Compare HDF5 (e.g., .cmp.h5) format. The output Compare HDF5 file will be compatible with Quiver if --forQuiver option is specified.

tinycov: standalone command line utility written in python to plot coverage from a BAM file

Jit — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 06:22:08 -0500

Tinycov is a small standalone command line utility written in python to plot the coverage of a BAM file quickly. This software was inspired by Matt Edwards' genome coverage plotter.

To install the stable version: pip3 install --user tinycov

To install the development version:

git clone https://github.com/cmdoret/tinycov.git
cd tinycov
pip install .

sam to bam conversion !!

Jit — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 02:36:18 -0600

To do sam to bam conversion, follow the following commands :-

Code:

$ samtools view -b -S file.sam > file.bam

Then you will need to use

Code:

$ samtools sort file.bam file-sorted

followed by

Code:

$ samtools index  file-sorted.bam

in order to get an indexed file.

If you just type

Code:

$ samtools

or samtools followed by the name of one of the samtools commands, you will get a few lines of help giving the correct syntax for that command,

CNIDARIA: fast, reference-free phylogenomic clustering

Shruti Paniwala — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 17:55:17 -0500

Motivation: Identification of biological specimens is a major requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without relying on prior knowledge, but these do not scale to arbitrarily large genomes and arbitrarily large phylogenetic distances.

Results: We present Cnidaria, a practical tool for clustering genomic and transcriptomic data with no limitation on ge-nome size or phylogenetic distances. We successfully simultaneously clustered 169 genomic and transcriptomic datasets from 4 kingdoms, achieving 100% accuracy at supra-species level and 78% accuracy for species level.

Availability and Implementation: Cnidaria is written in C++ and Python and is available at http://www.ab.wur.nl/cnidaria.

Contact: Saulo Aflitos - sauloal@gmail.com

Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

CLARK: Fast, accurate and versatile sequence classification system

Jit — Sat, 15 Feb 2020 01:49:01 -0600

CLARK, a method based on a supervised sequence classification using discriminative k-mers. Considering two distinct specific classification problems (see the article for details), namely (1) the taxonomic classification of metagenomic reads to known bacterial genomes, and (2) the assignment of BAC clones and transcript to chromosome arms/centromeres (in the absence of a finished assembly for the reference genome), CLARK outperforms in classification speed and precision the best state-of-the-art methods.

MashMap: a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s)

Jit — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 17:23:31 -0600

MashMap is a fast and approximate software for mapping long reads (PacBio/ONT) or assembly to reference genome(s). It maps a query sequence against a reference region if and only if its estimated alignment identity is above a specified threshold. It does not compute the alignments explicitly, but rather estimates a k-mer based Jaccard similarity using a combination of Winnowing and MinHash. This is then converted to an estimate of sequence identity using the Mash distance. An appropriate k-mer sampling rate is automatically determined given minimum local alignment length and identity thresholds. The efficiency of the algorithm improves as both of these thresholds are increased.

FastANI: fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI)

Jit — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 17:27:01 -0500

FastANI is developed for fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI). ANI is defined as mean nucleotide identity of orthologous gene pairs shared between two microbial genomes. FastANI supports pairwise comparison of both complete and draft genome assemblies. Its underlying procedure follows a similar workflow as described by Goris et al. 2007. However, it avoids expensive sequence alignments and uses Mashmap as its MinHash based sequence mapping engine to compute the orthologous mappings and alignment identity estimates. Based on our experiments with complete and draft genomes, its accuracy is on par with BLAST-based ANI solver and it achieves two to three orders of magnitude speedup. Therefore, it is useful for pairwise ANI computation of large number of genome pairs. More details about its speed, accuracy and potential applications are described here: "High-throughput ANI Analysis of 90K Prokaryotic Genomes Reveals Clear Species Boundaries".
