	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual. The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality reference. Merqury provides a set of tools for this purpose.</span></p>

<p><span><span>SyRI, a pairwise whole-genome comparison tool for chromosome-level assemblies. SyRI starts by finding rearranged regions and then searches for differences in the sequences, which are distinguished for residing in syntenic or rearranged regions. This distinction is important as rearranged regions are inherited differently compared to syntenic regions.</span></span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based&nbsp;<em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap">minimap</a>) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/pmelsted/GFA-spec/blob/master/GFA-spec.md">GFA</a>&nbsp;format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final&nbsp;<a href="http://wgs-assembler.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Celera_Assembler_Terminology">unitig</a>&nbsp;sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.</p><p>Find the detail of the reads repeats:</p><blockquote><p>fq2fa ONT_A.fastq ONT_A.fasta&nbsp;<br /><br />minimap2 -xava-ont ONT_A.fasta ONT_A.fasta -t10 -X &gt; AONT.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '{if($1==$6){print}}' AONT.paf &gt; AONTself.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '$5=="-"' AONTself.paf | awk '{print $1}'| sort|uniq &gt; invertedrepeat.list</p></blockquote><p>Generated a few palindrome and repeats plots (highlighting only repeats largest than 10, 20 and 30 kb)</p><blockquote><p>minidot -f 5 -m 30000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself30000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself30000.eps &gt; AONTself30000final.eps&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 20000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself20000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself20000.eps &gt; AONTself20000final.eps&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 10000 AONTself.paf &gt; AONTself10000.eps&nbsp;<br />sed 's/_template_pass_FAH31515//' AONTself10000.eps &gt; AONTself10000final.eps&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>Assemble with miniasm:</p><blockquote><p>miniasm -f ONT_A.fasta AONT.paf &gt; AONT.gfa&nbsp;</p><p>grep '^S' AONT.gfa |awk '{print "&gt;"$2"\n"$3}' &gt; AONT_miniasm.fasta&nbsp;<br /><br />minimap2 -xasm10 AONT_miniasm.fasta AONT_miniasm.fasta -t1 -X &gt; AONT_miniasm.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />awk '{if($1==$6){print}}' AONT_miniasm.paf &gt; AONT_miniasm_self.paf&nbsp;<br /><br />minidot -f 5 -m 10000 AONT_miniasm_self.paf &gt; AONT_miniasm_self10000.eps&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>Njoy the assembly !</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Scalpel]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has released an algorithm, called Scalpel, for finding insertions and deletions in next generation sequencing data sets. Scalpel, which is open source and <a href="http://scalpel.sourceforge.net/" title="available for download">available for download</a> on SourceForge,&nbsp;<span>outperformed the popular tools GATK HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel in test runs on both simulated and real whole human exomes.</span></p><p>Like other indel callers, Scalpel works by performing <em>de novo</em>&nbsp;assembly of regions of interest, so that misalignment to the reference genome cannot obscure the presence of an insertion or deletion. Scalpel's innovation is to repeatedly check its assembly before comparing to the reference genome, to account for simple sequence repeats that are a regular source of error in indel calling. When Scalpel assembles an exon, it collects reads that map to that exon (including partial matches), splits them into k-mers, and creates a de Bruijn graph to span the exon; however, if it detects repeats in the map, it iteratively increases the size of the k-mers by one base until the repeats are eliminated. This ensures that the final assembly of the exon is highly accurate while minimizing compute time.</p><p>The Cold Spring Harbor team's validation of Scalpel, <a href="http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmeth.3069.html" title="published over the weekend in Nature Methods">published over the weekend in <em>Nature Methods</em></a>, compares Scalpel's performance on a live whole exome against HaplotypeCaller and SOAPindel. The donor is an individual with serious neurological disorders, which may be linked to a high incidence of indels. One thousand indels from this individual's exome, called by one or more of the informatics pipelines, were selected for focused resequencing. This resequencing revealed a 77% true positive rate for Scalpel calls, dramatically better than the rates for either of the competing tools; Scalpel performed especially well with indels longer than five base pairs, a traditional weak point for indel callers.</p><p>Finally, the authors demonstrate Scalpel's use on a large set of genetic data from nearly 600 families who donated samples to the Simons Simplex Collection, a project of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. Scalpel found a very high enrichment for indels in children affected by autism, compared with their unaffected siblings, a pattern that persisted even after excluding common variants.</p>]]></description>
