github.com - Scripts for the analysis of HGT in genome sequence data

emboss.sourceforge.net - needleall reads a set of input sequences and compares them all to one or more sequences, writing their optimal global sequence alignments to file. It uses the Needleman-Wunsch alignment algorithm to find the optimum alignment (including gaps) of two...

lin-group.cn - iRNAD, for identifying D modification sites in RNA sequence. In this predictor, the RNA samples derived from five species were encoded by nucleotide chemical property and nucleotide density. Support vector machine was utilized to perform the...

genomebiology.biomedcentral.com - The well-established inaccuracy of purely computational methods for annotating genome sequences necessitates an interactive tool to allow biological experts to refine these approximations by viewing and independently evaluating the data supporting...

On Jan 10 2020, while news of the first fatality was barely trickling in, the 29,903 letters constituting the viral genome from an affected individual in Wuhan had already been elucidated (even though a few corrections were made subsequently).

China’s BGI says it can sequence a genome for just $100

academic.oup.com - LoReTTA (Long Read Template-Targeted Assembler), a tool designed for performing de novo assembly of long reads generated from viral genomes on the PacBio platform. LoReTTA exploits a reference genome to guide the assembly process, an approach that...

github.com - ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate...

Smaller Exome datasets were found to be worse performer than those from larger datasets (WGS)

github.com - Canu is a fork of the Celera Assembler designed for high-noise single-molecule sequencing (such as the PacBio RSII or Oxford Nanopore MinION). The software is currently alpha level, feel free to use and report issues encountered. Canu is...
