PANEV: an R package for a pathway-based network visualization

Jit — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 12:41:52 -0600

PANEV (PAthway NEtwork Visualizer) is an R package set for gene/pathway-based network visualization. Based on information available on KEGG, it visualizes genes within a network of multiple levels (from 1 to n) of interconnected upstream and downstream pathways. The network graph visualization helps to interpret functional profiles of a cluster of genes.

GROMACS: a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics

Neel — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 22:40:38 -0500

GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles. GROMACS is able to work with many biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. The WeNMR GROMACS web portal combines the versatility of this molecular dynamics package with the calculation power of the eNMR grid. This will enable you to perform many simulations from the comfort of your internet browser anywhere in the world. The server is furthermore aimed to provide a user friendly and efficient MD experience by performing many preparation and optimization steps automatically.

GraphMap - A highly sensitive and accurate mapper for long, error-prone reads

GraphMap - A highly sensitive and accurate mapper for long, error-prone reads http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160415/ncomms11307/full/ncomms11307.html

Features

    Mapping position agnostic to alignment parameters.
    Consistently very high sensitivity and precision across different error profiles, rates and sequencing technologies even with default parameters.
    Circular genome handling to resolve coverage drops near ends of the genome.
    E-value.
    Meaningful mapping quality.
    Various alignment strategies (semiglobal bit-vector and Gotoh, anchored).
    Overlapping of reads for de novo assembly.
    Transcriptome mapping through internal construction of a transcriptome from a given genomic reference and a GTF file.
    ...and much more.

GraphMap is also used as an overlapper in a new de novo genome assembly project called Ra (https://github.com/mariokostelac/ra-integrate).
Ra attempts to create de novo assemblies from raw nanopore and PacBio reads without requiring error correction, for which a highly sensitive overlapper is required.

Currently, development of a new spliced-alignment mode for mapping RNA-seq reads is under way.
Description of the current effort as well as how to reach the experimental implementation can be found here: doc/rnaseq.md.

Reference-free prediction of rearrangement breakpoint reads

Neel — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 05:05:25 -0600

lideSort-BPR ( b reak p oint r eads) is based on a fast algorithm for all-against-all comparisons of short reads and theoretical analyses of the number of neighboring reads. When applied to a dataset with a sequencing depth of 100×, it finds ∼88% of the breakpoints correctly with no false-positive reads. Moreover, evaluation on a real prostate cancer dataset shows that the proposed method predicts more fusion transcripts correctly than previous approaches, and yet produces fewer false-positive reads. To our knowledge, this is the first method to detect breakpoint reads without using a reference genome.

GenomeMapper: Simultaneous alignment of short reads against multiple genomes

Jit — Fri, 25 May 2018 09:29:44 -0500

GenomeMapper is a short read mapping tool designed for accurate read alignments. It quickly aligns millions of reads either with ungapped or gapped alignments. It can be used to align against multiple genomes simulanteously or against a single reference. If you are unsure which one is the appropriate GenomeMapper, you might want to use the latter https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2768987/

Hercules: a profile HMM-based hybrid error correction algorithm for long reads

Jit — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 14:14:11 -0500

Choosing whether to use second or third generation sequencing platforms can lead to trade-offs between accuracy and read length. Several studies require long and accurate reads including de novo assembly, fusion and structural variation detection. In such cases researchers often combine both technologies and the more erroneous long reads are corrected using the short reads. Current approaches rely on various graph based alignment techniques and do not take the error profile of the underlying technology into account. Memory- and time- efficient machine learning algorithms that address these shortcomings have the potential to achieve better and more accurate integration of these two technologies. Results: We designed and developed Hercules, the first machine learning-based long read error correction algorithm. The algorithm models every long read as a profile Hidden Markov Model with respect to the underlying platformtextquoterights error profile. The algorithm learns a posterior transition/emission probability distribution for each long read and uses this to correct errors in these reads. Using datasets from two DNA-seq BAC clones (CH17-157L1 and CH17-227A2), and human brain cerebellum polyA RNA-seq, we show that Hercules-corrected reads have the highest mapping rate among all competing algorithms and highest accuracy when most of the basepairs of a long read are covered with short reads.

LoRMA: A tool for correcting sequencing errors in long reads

Abhimanyu Singh — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:21:01 -0500

An error correction method that uses long reads only. The method consists of two phases: first, we use an iterative alignment-free correction method based on de Bruijn graphs with increasing length of k-mers, and second, the corrected reads are further polished using long-distance dependencies that are found using multiple alignments. According to our experiments, the proposed method is the most accurate one relying on long reads only for read sets with high coverage. Furthermore, when the coverage of the read set is at least 75×, the throughput of the new method is at least 20% higher.
