pWhatsHap: a parallel, high-performance version of WhatsHap

Jit — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 08:20:27 -0600

Given the potential relevance of efficient haplotyping in several analysis pipelines, we have designed and engineered pWhatsHap, a parallel, high-performance version of WhatsHap. pWhatsHap is embedded in a toolkit developed in Python and supports genomics datasets in standard file formats. Building on WhatsHap, pWhatsHap exhibits the same complexity exploring a number of possible solutions which is exponential in the coverage of the dataset. The parallel implementation on multi-core architectures allows for a relevant reduction of the execution time for haplotyping, while the provided results enjoy the same high accuracy as that provided by WhatsHap, which increases with coverage.

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

Complete genome sequences from more than one hundred diverse human populations

All genomes in the dataset were sequenced to at least 30x coverage using Illumina technology. The sequencing reads were mapped and genotyped using a customized procedure that was optimized for population genetic analysis. The researchers eliminated bias of alleles toward matching the human genome reference sequence, and determined genotypes on a single-sample basis to avoid preferential calling of genotypes from populations that had more individuals represented.

Vicoso group

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 02:51:27 -0600

The Vicoso group investigates how sex chromosomes evolve over time, and what biological forces are driving their patterns of differentiation.

The Vicoso group is interested in understanding several aspects of the biology of sex chromosomes, and the evolutionary processes that shape their peculiar features. By combining the use of next-generation sequencing technologies with studies in several model and non-model organisms, they can address a variety of standing questions, such as: Why do some Y chromosomes degenerate while others remain homomorphic, and how does this relate to the extent of sexual dimorphism of the species? What forces drive some species to acquire global dosage compensation of the X, while others only compensate specific genes? What are the frequency and molecular dynamics of sex-chromosome turnover?

Telomere-to-telomere consortium

We have sequenced the CHM13hTERT human cell line with a number of technologies. Human genomic DNA was extracted from the cultured cell line. As the DNA is native, modified bases will be preserved. The data includes 30x PacBio HiFi, 120x coverage of Oxford Nanopore, 70x PacBio CLR, 50x 10X Genomics, as well as BioNano DLS and Arima Genomics HiC. Most raw data is available from this site, with the exception of the PacBio data which was generated by the University of Washington/PacBio and is available from NCBI SRA.

A UCSC browser is available for v2.0 (as well as legacy v1.0 and v1.1 versions). An interactive dotplot visualization of all genomic repeats is also available from resgen.io. Known issues identified in the assembly are tracked at CHM13 issues.

Steps to find all the repeats in the genome !

Neel — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 02:43:28 -0500

To find repeats in a genome from 2 to 9 length using a Perl script, you can use the RepeatMasker tool with the "--length" option[0]. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Install RepeatMasker: First, you need to install RepeatMasker on your system. You can download it from the RepeatMasker website[0].

Prepare the genome sequence: Make sure you have the genome sequence in a FASTA file format. Let's assume the file is named "genome.fasta".

./RepeatMasker -pa -nolow -norna -no_is -div -lib RepeatMaskerLib.embl -gff -xsmall -small -poly -species -dir -length - genome.fasta

Replace the following placeholders with appropriate values:

: The number of processors/threads you want to use for parallel processing.
: The divergence value for the species you are analyzing. You can find divergence values for different species in the RepeatMasker documentation[0].
: The name of the species you are analyzing.
: The directory where you want the output files to be saved.
and : The minimum and maximum lengths of the repeats you want to find (in this case, 2 and 9).

Analyze the output: RepeatMasker will generate several output files, including a .out file. You can parse this file to extract the information you need. There is a Perl tool called "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" that can help you parse RepeatMasker output files[0]. You can download it from the source provided.

Use the provided Perl script: Once you have the "one_code_to_find_them_all.pl" script, you can run it to conveniently parse the RepeatMasker output files. Here's an example of how to use it:

perl one_code_to_find_them_all.pl --rm --length

Replace with the path to your RepeatMasker .out file, and with the path to a file containing the lengths of the reference elements.

This script will generate several output files, including .log.txt and .copynumber.csv, which contain quantitative information about the identified repeat elements.

Remember to adjust the parameters and options according to your specific needs and the characteristics of your genome.
