gapFinisher: A reliable gap filling pipeline for SSPACE-LongRead scaffolder output

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 06:04:40 -0600

gapFinisher is based on the controlled use of a previously published gap filling tool FGAP and works on all standard Linux/UNIX command lines. They compare the performance of gapFinisher against two other published gap filling tools PBJelly and GMcloser.

gapFinisher can fill gaps in draft genomes quickly and reliably.

WGDdetector: a pipeline for detecting whole genome duplication events using the genome or transcriptome annotations

LEGE — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 05:52:56 -0500

WGDdetector pipeline that integrates all analyses including gene family constructing, dS estimating and phasing, and outputting the dS values of each paralogs pairs processed with only one command. We further chose four species (Arabidopsis thaliana, Juglans regia, Populus trichocarpa and Xenopus laevis) representing herb, wood and animal, to test its practicability. Our final results showed a high degree of accuracy with the previous studies using both genome and transcriptome data.

CSA: A high-throughput chromosome-scale assembly pipeline for vertebrate genomes

Jit — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 06:13:49 -0600

The pipeline can use information from scaffolded assemblies (for example from HiC or 10X Genomics), or even from diverged (~65-100 Mya) reference genomes for ordering the contigs and thus support the assembly process. This typically results in improved contig N50 when compared to current state of the art methods.

For smaller vertebrate genomes (~1 Gbp) chromosome scale assemblies can be achieved within 12h on high-end Desktop computers (Intel i7, 12 CPU threads, 128 GB RAM). Larger mammalian genomes (~3Gbp) can be processed within 15-18 h on server equipment (Xeon, 96 CPU threads, 1TB RAM).

LncPipe:A Nextflow-based pipeline for comprehensive analyses of long non-coding RNAs from RNA-seq datasets

LEGE — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 01:57:02 -0500

The pipeline was developed based on a popular workflow framework Nextflow, composed of four core procedures including reads alignment, assembly, identification and quantification. It contains various unique features such as well-designed lncRNAs annotation strategy, optimized calculating efficiency, diversified classification and interactive analysis report. LncPipe allows users additional control in interuppting the pipeline, resetting parameters from command line, modifying main script directly and resume analysis from previous checkpoint.

Should you get sequenced? Not all bad genes predict disease

Rahul Agarwal — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:10:53 -0500

“What we really don’t know yet is whether the predictive aspects of the genome are going to turn out to be beneficial or potentially harmful”

“As we roll out genomic medicine we are fighting against this society-wide misconception that having the bad gene means you’re going to get the disease. That’s only true in a very few cases.”

Tsetse Fly Genome sequenced

Rahul Agarwal — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:48:35 -0500

As it reported online today in Science, the team used several sequencing approaches to tackle the tsetse fly's 366 million base genome.

The current study, and companion articles slated to appear in PLOS One, PLOS Genetics, and PLOS Neglected Tropic Diseases, are the result of nearly 150 researchers based in 18 countries.
