github.com - Kalign is a fast multiple sequence alignment program for biological sequences. Align sequences and output the alignment in MSF format: kalign -i BB11001.tfa -f msf -o out.msf Align sequences and output the alignment in clustal format: kalign...

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).

github.com - RNA-Bloom is a fast and memory-efficient de novo transcript sequence assembler. It is designed for the following sequencing data types: single-end/paired-end bulk RNA-seq (strand-specific/agnostic) paired-end single-cell RNA-seq...

github.com - MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein and nucleotide sequence sets. MMseqs2 is open source GPL-licensed software implemented in C++ for Linux, MacOS, and (as beta version, via cygwin)...

github.com - termal, a fast, interactive, terminal-based viewer for multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), designed for use on remote systems such as high-performance computing (HPC)...

The scientists established some guidelines for determining whether a variant is a legitimate branch of an existing lineage:

sourceforge.net - AIRVF that works on flowgram, raw and mapped reads and called variants to reduce artifact-driven false variant calls. Tests on sequencing data of standard reference material showed up to ∼98% reduction of false variants when combined to...

github.com - Variation graphs provide a succinct encoding of the sequences of many genomes. A variation graph (in particular as implemented in vg) is composed of: nodes, which are labeled by sequences and ids edges, which connect two nodes via either of...

github.com - Merfin, a k-mer based variant-filtering algorithm for improved accuracy in genotyping and genome assembly polishing. Merfin evaluates each variant based on the expected k-mer multiplicity in the reads, independently of the quality of the...

github.com - Other tools focus on getting data out of the fastq or fast5 files, which is slow and computationally intensive. The benefit of this approach is that it works on a single, small, .txt summary file. So it's a lot quicker than most other things out...
